Tim Tebow Won't Do Playboy
The University of Florida wouldn't nominate Tebow for the Playboy All-American team because of his religious views. After UF turned in their initial nominations, Playboy actually telephoned to lobby for Tebow's inclusion. Florida stuck to their guns and Tim Tebow continued to be better than you or m...

Tom Emanski Is Rolling In His Grave
At a time when it looks like Manny Ramirez might be on his way out of Boston (again?), this moment surely can't help him. Get out your Highlights magazine back covers and count the number of things he does poorly:...
Ashley Harkleroad And Her Strategically Placed Towel Photos Are Now Available For Your Perusal
Lately, there's been much clamoring around the internet about tennis steamstress Ashley Harkleroad's upcoming Playboy spread this month. With good reason, of course. Based on her recent ESPN the Mag interview about the shoot, she seems affable, confident, and very into herself:...
Boxer Remains in Critical Condition After Surgery to Relieve Brain Swelling
Oscar Diaz, who collapsed after a 10th round TKO loss on Wednesday night, is currently in critical condition in a San Antonio area hospital. Diaz's welterweight fight was televised on ESPN2 Wednesday night. Anyone who has ever strapped on a pair of boxing gloves knows how insanely brave you have to ...
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson Open Thread
Wladimir Klitschko and Tony Thompson are readying to square off in Hamburg (in Color Line Arena, no less) for the heavyweight title on HBO. Ukraine's Klitschko is the heavy favorite, but D.C. native Thompson (whose back story was sufficiently limned by this insidious rag) has the power and size, if...
Halo Kid Vs. Red Sox Nation: WHO YA GOT?
This here's the new yet derivative Internet sensation that is Halo Kid. Obvious comparisons can be drawn to Star Wars Kid, except Halo Kid will never be referenced on Arrested Development, so the former wins. Gilbert Arenas will still be his friend though. I post this here because I didn't want to p...
Tim Tebow's Summer Vacation Has Been Better Than Yours
I know, I know, but America's lust for Tim Tebow (and Erin Andrews) cannot be sated judging by the number of people who have sent this link to us. Put them side by side (and touching!) and it's like matter and anti-matter colliding. We're all lucky to still be alive....
Tim Tebow Is Touching Babies in Asia Again
This time it's some place called Chiang Mai. You don't have any idea where that place is either. Wait, okay, it's in Thailand....
Are You Offended By ESPN?
That's the question posed by MarketWatch columnist Jon Friedman, who gives the WWL a thorough Bissingering based on the recent "lowbrow or boorish behavior" of some of ESPN's talent. Specifically, the incidents involving Jemele Hill, Dana Jacobson, and Bonnie Bernstein, respectively. Friedman's piec...

Those crafty Red Sox, you never know what they're going to be up to next....
Meet The Stripper Who Saved The Red Sox
Alex Rodriguez's various alleged dalliances with females of the non-wife persuasion may have cost the Yankees more than anyone thought. Did ex-stripper Candice Houlihan break the Boston jinx and hand the Red Sox their World Series championship in 2004? Houlihan claims that a two-night stand with Rod...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch when bored with your collection of octopus porn ... • Arena football: Divisional playoffs, Cleveland at Georgia (8 p.m., ET). Wait ... who is that coming out of the tunnel? Is it Bernie Kosar? [ESPN2] • MLB: Minnesota at Boston (7 p.m., ET). I'll be watching Little Big League. [ESPN] •...
LenDale White Hates Tecmo Bowl, America
I'm a Titans fan so I was willing to overlook the man boobs, the Hershey's Kisses on the sideline, and even the plodding 3.467 yards per carry. But then, LenDale had to go and insult Tecmo Bowl....
Why, Red Sox Nation? Why?
What do you do if you're a group of Red Sox fans who spot a car stopped in traffic that happens to have New York Yankees license plates? (Keep in mind that there are at least two children in the car). Answer: You surround the vehicle, vandalize it, and then beat the driver with a baseball bat. That ...
Round of the Year Ends In KO of the Year
When Kendall Holt first fought Ricardo Torres for the WBO Light Welterweight title back in September he had to do so in his opponent's home country of Colombia. To call the atmosphere "hostile" would be quite an understatement. When Holt knocked the champion down in the sixth round he was rewarded w...
Examining The Balance Of Power In The AL East
I've been in a meat coma since The Fourth, and have only just seen this great moment from Friday's Yankees-Red Sox game. A couple of questions here, of course: What if the ball had stayed perched atop the fence, instead of falling back onto the field of play as it did? And what's the ruling if, say,...
How Will Yankees Fans Greet A-Rod Tonight?
Thank God for the Yankees that their next series with Boston is in New York. With a separation from wife Cynthia and rumors of canoodling with Madonna thicker than Newman's Own Thousand Island dressing, Alex Rodriguez must have more on his mind than Jonathan Papelbon. But how will his own fans greet...
