Rick Ankiel Is Going To Be Here Any Minute Now
Oh, it's so close now, friends ... As you know, our serious, debilitating man crush on Rick Ankiel makes it nearly impossible for us to have even the slightest bit of perspective on him. Every time we think about him, we want to give him a Harold Reynolds. We still wear the jersey every time we play...
Mike And Mike Are Everywhere You Look
All told, we think we gave Mike and Mike too hard of a time on the whole spelling bee thing. They weren't so bad; maybe they toned down the schtick for ABC. Anyway, as part of ESPN's plan to have Mike Greenberg (the gay one) and Mike Golic (the fat one) broadcasting every event that Berman and Tiric...
Tim Floyd Likes Them Young
Since not every recruit can be OJ Mayo and just show up at your doorstep, USC coach Tim Floyd has had to get creative over the last two years. So, for the second season in a row, he has offered a full scholarship to an eighth grader....

The Real Irony Is They Just Mopped That Street
Many years from now, when we all have personal jet packs and Brett Favre finally retires, mop jousting will be as commonplace at buttered toast. ESPN will have four channels devoted to it, all hosted by Mike Golic. Your kid will be in a mop jousting league. Every family will own at least seven mops....
Ryan Leaf About To Be Immortalized On Digital Film
Six months ago, Football Outsiders told the tale of "Leaf: An Almost True Story," a mock-documentary about Ryan Leaf. Apparently, the movie has progressed a bit since then: It looks like it's going to be "released" in October....
Elijah Dukes Is On The Air
We hope you weren't trying to get through to WDAE Radio on Tuesday, as various members of the Dukes family had the phone lines jammed pretty much all day. We hate when that happens. Tuesday was Fun Day for Ron Diaz and Ian Beckles over at the Ft. Lauderdale station, as an agitated Elijah Dukes calle...
About Last Night ...
What you missed due to the mop fight ... • MLB: It's Twins! Mets fall 9-0, decide to disband. • College baseball: OK, who else is rooting for an Anteaters, Beavers final? • Tennis: There are some who call me ... Tim. Henman advances at Nottingham Open....
Baseball Remains Very Good To Sammy Sosa
As the last smidgen of interleague play fades from our consciousness — and we'll never forget that magical June of 2007! — we lament, for a moment, that tonight's Rangers-Cubs game will be played in Arlington rather than at Wrigley. We would love to see how Sammy Sosa's homecoming to the Friendly Co...
AJ Burnett, Not Dissuaded By A Little DL Trip
A.J. Burnett might be making $55 million over five years, but that's not keeping him off the DL. And it's also not stopping him from racing enormous hot peppers. Money well spent!...
College Helps You Spell
One of the main reasons to enjoy the College World Series: The brilliant, obviously university-educated, fan signs in the crowd. That one's from a Mississippi State fan....
Malcolm In The Middle Front Row
The Los Angeles Times has a nifty collection of celebrity photos taken at sporting events on their site today, which got us to thinking: Which LA team had the best celebrity sightings in the fall/winter seasons? One might automatically say the Lakers win this, but not so fast. Let's do a quick tally...
Real Jews Root For The Red Sox
Via Bar Stool Sports — and we're slightly late on this — we learn that American Jewish Life Magazine (not edited by David Hirshey) makes the solid case that all Jews should love the Red Sox and hate the Yankees....
We Like The Way He Talks And He Likes The Way We Talk, Mmm Hmm
With the news yesterday that running back Quincy Wilson has become the 10th Cincinnati Bengal to be arrested in the past 14 months, we now need the measured, no-nonsense sports commentary of Kige Ramsey more than ever. If you're unfamiliar, just think of him as the Jason Whitlock of Youtube ... if, ...
Those Crazy Kids At Shea Can't Get Along
The Mets won last night, but clearly, something's going wrong with that team, sublimely timed for the Sports Illustrated cover jinx. Over at Nyjer Please, they've got some "inside" info that the team no longer gets along. And the problem seems to be ... Julio Franco?...
The Pirates Mascot Loves The Onion Rings
It can be difficult to keep the fans entertained at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, so they've tried a new technique: reenacting already historic television scenes. We might not know the official ending, but we know how it really ends: The Pirates lose....
Prince Fielder Is Good For What Ale's Ya
Notes from a day in baseball:...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while playing the German version of Wii Hole In One golf ... wait, what did it say on the screen? • MLB: Giants lose (we didn't even have to type that; just "right-click," "paste," as usual). • College baseball: Ward, I'm worried about the Beavers ... OSU's 12-6 win over Arizona Stat...
A Couple Drunk Fans Thought It Was Rich Garces
Reader "Genie," who runs an outstanding photo blog at The Inadvertent Gardener, was at the Cedar Rapids Kernels minor league game and witnessed the Insight Vision Eyeball race....
