Michael Vick Likes To Watch Dogs Kill Each Other
You know, as his "career" "progresses," we're starting to realize that Michael Vick's whole Ron Mexico imbroglio is among his least offensive incidents.

Warriors Were Closer Than You Probably Think They Were
The final score might not have been indicative, but anyone who watched that Dallas-Golden State game last night knows that the Warriors had every opportunity to make this a 2-0 series last night.

The Heat Suddenly Look Rather Elderly
Never have we been more aware of how important, you know, not being old is in the sport of basketball than during this Heat-Bulls series.

We applaud the somewhat innovative ad, but, frankly, we would have enjoyed it much more if, upon spotting Jeter, Keitel had recreated his character from Bad Li...

Someone Has The Mavs' Number
We find it fascinating when, for one reason or another, a less talented team/player finds a way to dominate a more talented opponent. Our favorite example is Barry Bonds and Mike Bielecki.
