Costas Takes A Seat Against BTK (Wait, He's Standing? Oh.)
We've always found broadcaster Bob Costas to be an insufferable prig, as well as a guy who almost certainly pees sitting down. News came out last week that Costas turned down guest hosting "Larry King Live" because it was supposed to feature a segment on BTK killer Dennis Rader. Costas said he di...

The Day Of Rumor Reckoning
Well, today's the day. The Interweb has been all abuzz with rumors for days now that Roger Clemens/Johnny Damon/Gary Sheffield were about to be squashed under the steroid hammer of MLB. The Web was so a-twitter about everything that even the dinosaur print reporters noticed what was going on. (Dan...

Hey, Look: Mike Tyson In Trouble Again
Say it with us now: More trouble for Mike Tyson.

More Fallout From Derek Lowe's Banging
More fun with Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe, his soon-to-be-ex-wife and Fox Sports "broadcaster" Carolyn Hughes: The Boston Herald reported this weekend that the Red Sox might have actually used Lowe's alleged infidelities as an excuse not to resign him last year. According to the paper, Lowe showed...

Bonds Won't Be Back, Though Site Still Remains
Well, according to the impartial journalists at MLB.com, Giants monster Barry Bonds will not return this season, which, considering the current climate, probably isn't the worst idea, though ESPN stalker Pedro Gomez has to be disappointed. As has been the case of late, we remain surprised that Bo...

Bong Bonged For Bonging Wife
It is a tragic shame that Reds pitcher Jung Bong was arrested last Friday, and it wasn't for a drug-related offense. Nope, Bong took after his old manager Bobby Cox and was busted for strangling his wife, or, rather, causing red marks to appear on her neck....

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...

Yard Work Upgrades, Eviscerates Peter King
Congrats to the wacky folks at Yard Work, who have revamped their site with a shiny new URL and an archive that could judiciously be called "improved." They blast off the new site with a pretty biting satire of Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback column, which begins with a pretty fantastic im...

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.
