Yes, But How Will It Affect His Friendship With Michael Irvin?
We have quite a bit of history with John Rocker and his PR agent Debi Curzio, but we'll confess — and we're not sure why — we simply never thought to ask either of them about steroids. Maybe it's because we don't care about steroids all that much, or maybe it's just because asking a guy who has been...

Only A Dog Knows Of The Growing Phanatic Menace
A confession: We are terrified by the Phillie Phanatic. Everything about him creeps us out: That weird tongue thing he shoots out, the googly eyes that we see in our nightmares, the purple (purple!) eyelashes. He's not a monster, he's not cuddly, he's not a being with any recognizable cousins in the...

Why Baseball Always Seems Like It's For Old People
Like many fans, we always fire ourselves up for baseball season with a plethora of preview magazines. The Sporting News, Street & Smith's, Athlon ... we buy 'em all. (And our Baseball Prospectus 2007 arrived in the mail on Friday; we know that's supposed to be a reference book, but we read it every ...

More proof that our man Ron Zook — ARE YOU INTENSE ENOUGH FOR ZOOK???!!! — is a genius and is a force with which to be reckoned: He's smart enough to schedule games against teams who already have games scheduled that day....
Desmond Mason, Making The NOOCH Legend
We are, sadly, in the last days of NOOCH; next year, it'll be all New Orleans, all the time, and that means those halcyon days of yesteryear, when the gloriousness of the NOOCH was with us, are almost gone....

Don't Expect Your Rec League To Adopt These
These, friends, are the future of college basketball uniforms, and that future is: SPANDEX! OK, not quite Spandex, but there's certainly a skin-tight vibe going on for the four teams who will supposedly try out the new duds during their conference championships this week: Ohio State, Syracuse, Flori...
It's Casual Dress During Spring Training
This guy was spotted in the stands of the White Sox-Cubs spring training game yesterday, and though we're not quite ready for that kind of fierce crosstown rivalry business just yet — it's like trying to have an argument too early in the morning, before you've had your IV of coffee — we like the spi...

Tar Heel Blue Nation Seeing Red Today, Not Surprisingly
A lot of vitriol flowing around the Web this morning, most of it aimed at Gerald Henderson and Duke. But none seemed more perturbed at the roundhouse elbow to the probiscus of Tyler Hansbrough than the Tar Heels men's cheerleading squad, who were in Henderson's face, dude! You do not want to anger p...
Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist
Of all the "Sweet Christ, Billy Packer is so full of equine excrement" moments, we have to say, the "Just Going For The Ball!" foul from Gerald Henderson on Tyler Hansbrough at the end of the Duke-UNC game is definitely near the top of the list. Whatever your thoughts on the reason for Henderson's a...

Suns, Kobe. • NHL: We're no experts, but this has to be some kind of penalty. Avalanche 4, Red Wings 3, OT...
So Much For That 2-Seed For The Salukis
Just one automatic bid was on the line today... even less than than that if you're of the belief that Creighton and Southern Illinois were probably both already in the tournament.
