If Only There Were A Logical Time To Drink It ...
You know, we were fully aware that the Oklahoma-Texas football rivalry — if you missed it in all the playoff business roaming around these parts, they play this weekend — was a pretty big deal, but we'd always felt it lacked the critical component of beer....
The Day After For The 0-1 Teams
One of the joys of writing about sports on the Web is how every day is a little more important than it would be if glimpsed from a wider perspective. Fortunately, during the baseball postseason, there is no wider perspective: Everything matters in every possible moment. (If you don't believe us, ask...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while time tripping to the planet Tralfamadore ... • ALDS, Game 1: Derek Jeter uses five point palm-exploding heart technique on Tigers. • ALDS, Game 1: I just want you to Hurt, like I do ... Frank Thomas, why don't you come out and take another bow? Frank Thomas, folks! • ALDS, Game...
Philadelphia Prepares For Battle ... And It's Never Too Early
Apropos of nothing, we've decided to attach a picture of Donovan McNabb doing shots to this post. Forgive us....
Live Playoff Blog: Padres Vs. Cardinals, Game 1
You know, it's absolutely perverse that we are expected to sit here and live-blog a Cardinals playoff game. How, exactly, does one spell a primal scream of pain? Last year, during the NLCS, we realized that we were literally running back and forth, stomping our feet, howling at the television screen...
Playoffs Pants Party: Mets Vs. Dodgers
All told, we'd rather listen to "I Love LA" for the five-millionth time than "Our Team, Our Mets." This is probably the most intriguing series of the four, with teams from the two largest media markets in the country, which is probably why it starts on at 4 in the afternoon....
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Detroit Pistons
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. Let us celebrate with five tiny tidbits on each team. Today we continue with the Central Division, so do us a favor and send us your tips at [email protected]....
Live Playoff Blog: Twins Vs. A's, Game One
Well, all right, we did this last year, so let's rev it up again. We know you're stuck at work while there's a freaking playoff game on, and we know that, at times like this, the MLB GameCast isn't quite enough....
Arenas Of The Absurd
We're rapidly coming to the point, we think, where we can place pictures of Gilbert Arenas and Michael Jackson side by side, and point to Arenas and say "He's the eccentric one." (Though Gilbert is decidedly more charming and, uh, a little less creepy, we think.) The latest out of Washington D.C. ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Prophylactic ... • NFL: Donovan rocks ... Eagles head-stomp Packers 31-9. • Soccer: When you think of Manchester United, you think of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer! • NBA: Onward Christian soldiers ... Laettner group to buy Grizzlies, apparentl...
Playoff Pants Party: Yankees Vs. Tigers
Shouldn't Tigers fans be happy that their first playoff experience in about 323 years leads them against the Yankees in the first round? Isn't it more fun that way? Wouldn't it not really feel like the playoffs if they were playing anybody other than the Yankees?...
Where My Team Stands: Los Angeles Dodgers
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....
Where My Team Stands: Oakland A's
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....
Playoffs Pants Party: Padres Vs. Cardinals
We know there's absolutely no reason to believe the Cardinals belong here, and we know that the Red Sox, the Phillies and the Angels — teams that weren't particularly close to making the playoffs — all had better records. That doesn't mean we still can't be happier the Cardinals are here. October ...
Where My Team Stands: San Diego Padres
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....
Your Basic Cable Themed Minor League Hockey Mascot
Tonight, on "The Colbert Report," the program will announce its newest fan-based shot into the outside world: The official mascot for the Saginaw Spirit junior hockey club. (Typically, "Colbert Report" viewers stuff the ballot box for teams, mascots or bridges that might be named after their man.)...
There Are All Kinds Of Ways To Cheer For Your Team
They do some unusual things involving football down there in Texas, but this strange cheering tradition from the Texas A&M Aggie Corps might very well be the weirdest. We don't have the foggiest idea what's going on there, and we're not sure we want to know....
Where My Team Stands: New York Yankees
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....
Playoffs Pants Party: Twins Vs. A's
The first playoff game — we'll be live-blogging all day games this week, by the way — begins in less than 24 hours, and if you actually live in the Bay Area, your team's first playoff game is starting at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday. Which seems odd....
In Hell, Mascots Look Like This
Hey, Euro 2008 officials have ripped off Woody Woodpecker! And made him gay! As The Mighty MJD mentioned over the weekend, Austria and Switzerland, co-hosts of Euro 2008, rolled out their new mascots on Sunday. The two countries had their finest cartoonists labor for more than two years to come up...
