Albert Belle Can Now Only Stalk His Cellmate
Yesterday, Albert Belle, after being arrested and charged with stalking, pled guilty yesterday and will serve 90 days in jail. He has already served 29 of those, which means he has 61 left, though we bet Belle has added wrong....

NFL Season Preview: Washington Redskins
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster.

The Padres Very Much Value Your Patronage
You know those annoying updates you get from MLB.com all the time, which pretty much come without mercy anytime you buy a ticket online, like, ever.

The Wrong Way To Impersonate A Blue Jay
Last night, after the A's victory over the Blue Jays, a fan ran on the field. This will happen from time to time, of course, particularly at the end of a game, after a few Molsons. But see, this fan, he had a special trick in mind: He would be wearing a Blue Jays jersey....

Len Pasquarelli Has Had Enough Of Your Silliness
We'd like to thank the folks at Pro Football Talk for finding this clip of ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli appearing on Charlotte sports talk radio, on something called the "Penner and Mac Show." (Honestly, nobody in sports radio has ever been called by their full name; we're still waiting for "The Humbe...
Drew Henson, Man Of Many Ugly Hats
Has there ever been an athlete more consistently overconsidered, for such an extended period of time, as Drew Henson? The guy has been all potential, zero performance; he's Ryan Leaf, except he did it in two sports ... and he wasn't very good in college either....

What About The Children (And Their Wallets)?
At first the idea sounds nuts, like barbecuing in the nude, or a Madonna concert. But then when you think about it ... why shouldn't kids get paid for playing in the Little League World Series? In a column on MSNBC's sports site today by Bob Cook, our man claims, only somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that ...
Hacking Bernie
We recognize that, unless you're Curt Schilling, it can be pretty difficult for a Major League Baseball player to keep up with this Internet usage on the road. And when someone has a site of their own to manage, it can be doubly difficult....
Clinton Spends His One Night A Year With His Brother At Shea
