John Rocker Would Like To Knock You Up
Maybe we're just too skeptical today, but this might be too good to be believed: It seems John Rocker has himself a Match.com profile. (His handle is "bullpenjohn," rather than, say, "crackerman1974.")...

Brian Giles Remembers The Little People
Since we're not nearly the pop culture oddity barometer we wish we were, we were not aware of MiniKISS, the band consisting of "little people" who dress up like (and play the songs of) KISS. We're not sure what we can say here, except that we like the idea of the Gene Simmons equivalent having a ...

The J.J. Redick It's OK To Like
This story is a little bit old, and pretty much everyone else has written about it, but we don't care, because we were gone all week and do not want to go down in history as having ignored it....

Ali G Hooks You Up

Check out Ali G's possible take on Cohen's silver at The Sports Pulse — which includes the line: "Me is not into batty boy bruvers so Johnny Weir stop ...

Now That Was Just Cruel
OK, we were nearly finished — halfway out the door to greet the remains of the day — when a final, fateful e-mail popped into view. We feel we have suffered enough today, what with the Johnny Weir topless photos, "The Pizzle's" French rap technique and unrelenting abuse from Nova Scotia residents....

You Shouldn't Taunt a Longhorn, Probably
On Wednesday, we brought you the delicious, syrupy-sweet dreams of Texas Longhorns football draft prospect Michael Huff. Today, the news is a little more serious and heated. CBS SportsLine has released its top 10 NFL quarterback prospects, and let us just say that Longhorns fans are not pleased. V...

Sasha Cohen: Superstar!
We haven't stopped smiling since we first saw this last night — everyone's darling ice bunny, Sasha Cohen, is apparently even more full of herself than we were led to believe. That is, if the lip-reading ability of one of our readers is on the mark. And why shouldn't it be? Our readers have never ...

Hello, Nova Scotia!
G'day, eh. Just because you worship curling and your island will be the last place on earth to feel the effects of global warming, it's no reason for us to ignore you. So wake up, Nova Scotia, find your mittens, fire up the wood-burning stove and enjoy a special Atlantic Time Zone edition of About L...

NBC Resorts to Child Porn for Olympics Ratings Boost
Or, at least, it would seem that way. Why else would the Olympic website feature some, um, questionable photos of figure skater Sasha Cohen? Hey, I'm no prude, but for the love of Jon Benet Ramsey this just seems a little...creepy. Maybe this is strategic network synergy? You know, NBC gets people...

A-Rod Chucks Dominicans Under the Bus
Well, not really. But regardless of how it plays out, that's what most people will think. Everybody seems to just HATE this guy. Yesterday, Alex Rodriguez spoke openly about his decision to play for America in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, mostly because, well, he was born here. He didn't ...

Our Leader's Tropical Vacation: Day 5
As you know, Will Leitch has been on holiday since Thursday — off to the Caribbean, we hear. You may picture him lying oiled and bronzed on a pristine beach, trying to decide between the lobster and the cracked crab.
