Ali G Hooks You Up
If you're like us, you had only one thought as Sasha Cohen was accepting her figure skating silver medal on Thursday: How would Ali G describe it? 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 ...
Intimate Fantasies About ... Aw, Jeez, HER?
Inspired by a look back at Tonya Harding's career a couple of days ago, a reader, who must be the sports fan equivalent of a cutter, did some research into Tonya and found something so disturbing that pointing it out to you makes us feel like we might be a bad person....

Michigan Fans, Photoshop, and You
On Tuesday we posted an item about Michigan basketball fans who apparently duped Michigan State fans into spelling out "Go Blue" in the stands at a Michigan State home game. But a reader, who has talked to people who were at the game in question, reports that the whole thing may have been bogus....

Shani Davis Is Huge in Holland
Nearly lost in the hullaballoo (I've never used that word before, and I have no idea why I'm starting now) of the Chad Hedrick/Shani Davis post-race news conference yesterday, is the fact that members of the Dutch curling team showed up for the sole purpose of heckling Chad Hedrick. In turn, I sup...
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...

Those Lovable Michigan Scamps
Well, according to more than one Deadspin tipster a highly involved(and evolved) prank was executed on the MSU student body over the weekend during Saturday's Michigan State/Michigan basketball game. Some students at the University of Michigan posed as Big 10 interns to distribute cards to unsuspect...
Just in Time for Tax Season
Fantastic post by the Wizard of Odds, highlighting the Ohio State autograph shilling non-controversy, which seems a little sketchy considering some of these non-professional athletes are making six-figure incomes during "autograph season." According to the Wiz—via the Cleveland Plain Dealer—, some O...

The Italian Job
OK, now this is what we're talkin' about. Remember how you said that you wouldn't be watching the Winter Olympics? You pointed out, as we recall, that American Idol was kicking the Olympics' ass in the ratings, and that watching luge was about as exciting as observing avocados ripen. Well, what if...
The House of Mirrors That is the Mind of Barry Bonds
What would we see if we could step into the mind of Barry Bonds? The Mad Hatter would be hosting a tea party in there, certainly. Posters of Gilbert Gottfried and Prof. Irwin Corey on every wall. Fantastic creatures would abound — animals not found in nature, such as a spiny jackrabbit, and a half...

We Have To Do Something About Male Speedkating Uniforms
Because I don't want this to ever happen again. In fact, I'm not even sure what is happening there. Calling it a cameltoe would be disrespectful to camels everywhere. Thanks (kinda) to the reader who sent in the pic. He made me look at it, and I'm making you look at it....
Speedskating Beef
The issues between U.S. speedskaters Chad Hedrick and Shani Davis continue to garner attention. I mentioned it briefly yesterday, but the story's picking up a little steam, and hopefully has the potential to develop into a Harding/Kerrigan situation. If things continue on this path, one is going t...
