The Mike Tyson Of College Football
That was Miami Hurricane player Anthony Reddick apologizing for his helmet-swinging role in the brawl against FIU. I'm pretty sure someone wrote that for him... and they must've just scribbled it really quickly and illegibly, because he seemed to be struggling with it. For some reason....
About Last Night...
• World Series: Cardinals 7, Tigers 2. Ronnie Belliard's hair 1, Everyone Else's Hair 0. • College Football: Clemson 31, Georgia Tech 7. Clemson unleases their potent offensive attack on Georgia Tech, as well as a vicious attack on the eyeballs and fashion sense of everyone watching. • NHL. Sabres 6...
The Enlightened Worldview Of Ray Dunlap
Will briefly mentioned yesterday in the apology post that a NASCAR broadcaster made some disparaging comments about Hispanic NASCAR fans, but none of the AP reports knew exactly what he said. I did a little googling, and found a couple of people who heard ol' Ray....
About Last Night...
• College Football: WVU 37, UConn 11. Connecticut quarterbacks combined to go 15-of-34 for 115 yards and 2 interceptions. Scouts say they could be the next Harrington and Culpepper. • NBA Preseason: Nets 102, 76ers, 92. And just because I'll probably never get another chance to say it: 76ers leading...
World Series Pants Party: Tigers Vs. Cardinals
Holy cow, we can't believe we're actually doing a prediction roundup for the Cardinals, who are in the World Series, against the Tigers. We're not over shock yet; it actually comes in waves, which is kind of what shock does, we suppose....
A Friendly Wager, If You Will
In the tradition of opposing mayors/governors placing ridiculous "bets" on their cities' teams winning the World Series — "OK, if your team wins, we'll give you rising gentrification figures and eroding public schools; if ours does, we'd like some of your famous baked ham" — we have decided to acc...

Hopefully He Won't Get Confused And Sing A Car Commercial
Before Game 1 of the 2004 World Series, we were talking to our father, little pregame discussion of how these Red Sox were going down, man, when he stopped. "Holy shit," he said. "The guy from Aerosmith is singing the national anthem. Damn, that makes me feel old." Our father, who missed the Diane W...
You Can Shove Your Sorrys In A Sack, Mister
The week began with violence and bravado, but has concluded in ignominious regret. Yes, it's time for the "sorry" roundup. And while none of these apologies rise to the level of that of that of the great Pete Rose, rest assured that all of the participants are nonetheless terribly filled with sham...
Fun With Extinct Clothing
We're sure this happens all the time, but it's still funny when Major League Baseball accidentally slips and posts it. Last night and up until early this morning, you could buy this sweatshirt from MLB.com, prominently featuring the upcoming World Series matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the ...

Four Moments In October
The thing about a Game 7 for your team, we're noticing this morning, is that you forget that you and the people you are with aren't the only people watching it. Every pitch is so intense, every second's pressure so heightened, you lose all perspective: It feels like it's only happening to you. And...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while cracking under the pressure in the bottom of the eighth and running out into the night, pantless ... • MLB: National League Championship Series ... it seems like only yesterday, or 1968, that Cardinals played Tigers in a World Series. • College football: Our Tar Heels football ...
Now That's A Pleasant Way To Spend An Evening
It's 3:30 in the morning, and we have just returned from a night of screaming, biting, man hugs and other general insanity with 20 other Cardinals fans in the enemy territory of Manhattan. We are covered in champagne — seriously — and just about as giddy as a human being can be. The Cardinals are in...
The Fight To Lose To Detroit Ends Tonight
This photo is from the 2004 National League Championship Series, in which Jeff Suppan outdueled Roger Clemens — and laid down a perfect squeeze bunt, for good measure — to send the Cardinals to the World Series, where they went to Boston and ... well, we don't remember much after that....
A Cards Fan And A Mets Fan Discuss Game 7
You've followed your team every day for six, nearly seven months. You've sweated one-run games in May, stayed up until 2 a.m. for the 14-inning marathon in July, cursed rainouts in August and finally felt some release come September and October. This has been your life — not their life; your life — ...
Game 7, The Weirdest-Case Scenario
We thought our brains had processed every possible scenario for Game 7 tonight, up to and including Preston Wilson being attacked by a mule. But New York Magazine's Sam Anderson — an excellent writer, by the way — has come up with one that we hadn't considered, in Choose Your Own Adventure form....
