NFL Season Preview: Denver Broncos
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 key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Little League President Will Hold Breath Until Yankees Give Him More Cash
We knew it would be fun having Staten Island as a representative in the Little League World Series, and indeed, they haven't disappointed. First, the team had a, um, colorful game in pool play on Sunday, which ended with a slap. Then today we learn that Staten Island Little League president Bob Jo...
Younger Barfield Tells His Story (On MySpace, Of Course)
Yesterday, we told you about an incident in which the son of former Blue Jays slugger Jesse Barfield pushed his dad down the stairs. We haven't had any official followup to that story, except in the one place athletes actually speak anymore: Their MySpace page!...
The Closer: "It Was Mayhem Down In The Tunnel"
Notes on a day in baseball:...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while drubbing Qatar in basketball ... • MLB: Nasty collision between Aaron Rowand and Chase Utley mars Phillies' 6-5 win over Cubs. • NFL: Cowboys, sans T.O., throttle Saints 30-7 in first NFL game in Shreveport since 1970, y'all. • Tennis: Your Rogers Cup winner is ... not Roger. N...
NFL Season Preview: Seattle Seahawks
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster.

Not To Pile On The Red Sox Here, But ...
We know that often American celebrities will do advertisements in other countries — or their home countries — that they might not necessarily want to be seen doing here. But that doesn't change the bewilderment of seeing David Ortiz ... doing a boner commercial? Really? Can anybody translate?...
NFL Season Preview: Cleveland Browns
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 key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
A Tortured Tour Through Red Sox Land
After the brutality of the last few days, it seems almost cruel to make the Red Sox and their fans go through one more game this afternoon. At this point, what's one more loss and humilation? Even the famous Boston Massacre was only four games....
Jesse Barfield's Sons Are Getting A Bit Big For Their Britches
San Diego Padres second baseman Josh Barfield is the son of Jesse Barfield, whom many of you will remember as a pseudo-slugger with the Toronto Blue Jays back in the day. (By the way, we greatly prefer the old Blue Jays uniforms to the new ones.) Well, Jesse has another son, Jeremy, who was drafted ...
The Closer: "Those Guys Are Not Playing Around"
Notes from a day in baseball:...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while searching for bliss but not even finding your pants ... • Red Sox Nation ... Not in the best of moods this morning. • NFL: Manning paints portrait of perfection against Seahawks ... before subs gag on it. (Sorry, Lil' Ronnie). • MLB: A's improve to 25-11 since All-Star break wi...
Very Few Of Those 1.3 Billion Are Good Basketball Players
Team USA got back to their ass-romping ways this morning, beating China by a score of 121-90. Despite the presence of Yao Ming, China's not that good of a team. Really, they're probably the most poorly-equipped team to play the United States; they prefer (an unathletic) man defense, and their guar...
About Last Night...
• NFL Preseason: Cardinals 3, Patriots 30. Matt Leinart completes 4-of-11 for 45 yards in his Cardinals debut, and reminds many of a young Neil Lomax. • Busch Racing: Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins Carfax 250. Sometimes, in order to win, you have to completely screw Carl Edwards. • Swimming: Aaron Peirsol ...
As Far As Wins Go, That Was Pretty Uncomfortable
It's just the first game, and a win's a win, but I'm not going to do any victory dances when we give up 100 points to Puerto Rico, either. Team USA did win by a score of 111-100, but they never really pulled away, they never dominated for a stretch longer than a couple of minutes, and they never rea...
About Last Night...
• MLB: Yankees 14, Red Sox 11. Not a lot of love for Johnny Damon in Boston right now, I'm guessing. • Track and Field: Asafa Powell ties 100m world record. It feels weird to mention something like that and not use the word "steroids." • WNBA: Sparks 72, Storm 84. Lauren Jackson has 22 and 9 for Sea...

Actually, HERE'S Your Next Inspiring Real Life Story
We don't mean to take the piss out of AJ Daulerio's work earlier today, but it turns out that we already know what the next real-life baseball story will be dramatized on the big screen: It's Jose Canseco's!...
NFL Season Preview: New England Patriots

Here We Go Again
We take a lot of pride around these parts in avoiding the typical East Coast knob-slobbering that goes on; rarely do people accuse one of a "Central Illinois Bias." But even we can't ignore a five-game series at Fenway Park in a tight August pennant race between the Red Sox and Yankees. Bronx Bant...
