We'd like to introduce a new feature, because features are fun and make the day just fly fly fly by. In case you missed it, former Sportingnews.com "new media" dropout Mark Newman has resurfaced at MLB.com to help Bud Selig sell something that you absolutely cannot find anywhere else (particularly...
How Can We Be Lovers If We Can't Be Friends?
We were playing around on BarryBonds.com again today — honestly, it's like Christmas every day; we don't care if he plays again or not, as long as he keeps his site updated — and, on a page devoted to Barry's 40th birthday party, we found the above picture....

Raffy To Apply His Cream Back Home, Alone, Sans Earplugs
He's tried earplugs, he's tried refusing interviews, he's even tried shaving the mustache (OK, wishful thinking there), but since none of that worked, Rafael Palmeiro is taking his burgeoning erection and going home. He's officially "rehabbing his knee," in the same way that Jimmy Hoffa was "garde...
Ahman Green, Pleader
For anyone who might have forgotten, Packers running back Ahman Green had some trouble with the law early this year; namely, he and his wife had a scuffle that started with a bunch of hollering and ended with some broken plaster and a visit from the 5-0. (Three days after the incident, Green filed...
Sayonara, Sammy
It would be safe to say that it has been a difficult year for Orioles outfielder Sammy Sosa.

Shots Fired Outside Superdome
It's beginning to turn crazy and chaotic outside the Superdome; people are actually shooting at the rescue helicopters, which is totally counterproductive.

Choppin' Wood At Baseball Prospectus
The dork fraternity at Baseball Prospectus has long fascinated us. We always assumed they either were four feet tall and were still breast-feeding, or they were the opposite of what most think, all ripped dudes with schlongs that scraped the ground. Turns out, we're completely wrong: They're actua...
