Richardson Nailed For A Costly Dunk
We know that a new paternity suit in the NBA can hardly be classified as "news" anymore, but hey, it's still pretty fun, right? Today's hammer fell down on Warriors dunk dude Jason Richardson, who is being sued by a former paramour — that means "lady he used to do it with" — for a monthly child su...
Apparently, Stephen A. Smith Is Black
We usually try here to avoid the rantings of fundamentalist Christian stick-in-mud New York Post media columnist Phil Mushnick. He seems to be living in a world that's different than ours, one where all television executives are apparently closet kiddie porn enthusiasts. But we couldn't help but n...

Stephen A. Smith Ready For His Extreme Closeup
Well, last night was the premiere of ESPN amplified irritant Stephen A. Smith's new show "Quite Frankly." We're sad to say that we watched it, though, considering we live about three blocks from where they film the show, we pretty much could have heard him yelling just by opening our window....

Red Sox Fans Have Had Enough Of Manny
We have to say, it's a sad day when the city of Boston — or anyone, really — turns on outfielder Manny Ramirez. Maybe because we're not Red Sox fans, but we love Manny. When they say "that's just Manny being Manny," it's not fair, but come on: It's true. The guy wore sunglasses with in iPod in the...
The Trivia That Is Mike Laga
This is the final year for Busch Stadium, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals since 1966. Cardinals fans have a million memories of the old ballpark, but the one that sticks out to many is one that no one seems to be able to document: Former first baseman Mike Laga becoming the one man to hit a ba...
Devil Rays Declare War On Fan(s)
One would think that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays would be so happy to have someone actually show up for their games that they'd pretty much let them set up campfires in the bleachers if they wanted. Apparently not: They're now kicking out fans for bringing in peanuts. That's bad enough, of course; wh...
Today In MLB Blogs
In 2005 Summer Baseball Odyssey, an Australian named Alex takes a tour of U.S. ballparks. How is this different than if, say, you or I did it? Well, Alex uses terms such as "Bloody American Airlines," "centre field" and "winners of three games on the trot." And then there's this report from Busch...
Bob Costas: Hysterical In His Own Mind
Don't know if any of you saw this or not, but everybody's favorite Sports Dwarf In A Suit Bob Costas was a guest on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" last evening. It was a bizarre appearance. Our problem with Costas has never been that he isn't smart (because he constantly reminds us that, yes, h...
