Not To Pile On The Red Sox Here, But ...
We know that often American celebrities will do advertisements in other countries — or their home countries — that they might not necessarily want to be seen doing here. But that doesn't change the bewilderment of seeing David Ortiz ... doing a boner commercial? Really? Can anybody translate?...
A Tortured Tour Through Red Sox Land
After the brutality of the last few days, it seems almost cruel to make the Red Sox and their fans go through one more game this afternoon. At this point, what's one more loss and humilation? Even the famous Boston Massacre was only four games....
The Closer: "Those Guys Are Not Playing Around"
Notes from a day in baseball:...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while searching for bliss but not even finding your pants ... • Red Sox Nation ... Not in the best of moods this morning. • NFL: Manning paints portrait of perfection against Seahawks ... before subs gag on it. (Sorry, Lil' Ronnie). • MLB: A's improve to 25-11 since All-Star break wi...
About Last Night...
• NFL Preseason: Cardinals 3, Patriots 30. Matt Leinart completes 4-of-11 for 45 yards in his Cardinals debut, and reminds many of a young Neil Lomax. • Busch Racing: Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins Carfax 250. Sometimes, in order to win, you have to completely screw Carl Edwards. • Swimming: Aaron Peirsol ...
This Is Rapidly Becoming Anti-Climactic
The Yankees are in the process of ghetto-stomping the Red Sox again today, probably ensuring victory in the five-game series, and sort of letting the air out of the build-up for the series. The game was tied heading into the top of the 6th, until the Red Sox walked in two runs, and then gave up a ...
Evander Holyfield Beats Up Insurance Salesman, Will Insist On Fighting Again
Bad news for Evander Holyfield. He won last night, which means his comeback is going to continue. After beating the hell out of Jeremy Bates last night, Holyfield says he wants a Top 10 fighter next....
About Last Night...
• MLB: Yankees 14, Red Sox 11. Not a lot of love for Johnny Damon in Boston right now, I'm guessing. • Track and Field: Asafa Powell ties 100m world record. It feels weird to mention something like that and not use the word "steroids." • WNBA: Sparks 72, Storm 84. Lauren Jackson has 22 and 9 for Sea...
Here We Go Again
We take a lot of pride around these parts in avoiding the typical East Coast knob-slobbering that goes on; rarely do people accuse one of a "Central Illinois Bias." But even we can't ignore a five-game series at Fenway Park in a tight August pennant race between the Red Sox and Yankees. Bronx Bant...
Watch An Old Man Cheat Death ... LIVE On Fox!
Slow, public meltdowns are no fun to watch, not even for the notoriously nasty and morbid voyeurs of the Internets. Which is why we await tonight's Evander Holyfield fight with a sense approaching dread. The fight, in Dallas and broadcast live on Fox Sports Net, pits the 43-year-old former champ (...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while cheering on Roger Ebert to come back... • NFL: Eli's Comin' ... Manning leads Giants to rout of Chiefs. • MLB: Return of The Gambler ... Rogers gets first win since July 5, as Detroit beats Texas 4-2. • Golf: Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson? Naw, try Lucas Glover and Chris Riley...

We're Only 99 44/100ths Percent Pure, Ourselves
The woman on the left in this photo is Danika Schroeter. She finished second in the Canadian downhill mountain biking championships last week, finishing just one second behind Michelle Dumaresq. Dumaresq is the woman in the middle. The lady on the right ... we don't know who the lady on the right is...
One Must Be Careful Of Those Midnight "Inconvenient Truth" Screenings
You know, if you had told us an NBA player was going to take a couple shots at the White House, we would have thought it would have been Etan Thomas. (We kid Etan Thomas; his political beliefs are sincere, just like his poetry about Abe Pollin's prostate.)...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while being amused at the idea of Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner being roommates ... • MLB: Jose Reyes asks what the heck he has to do to win a game for the Mets. • World Basketball: U.S. pummels far east peninsula known for cooking cabbage underground. • Tennis: Federer begins defense...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while dreaming of Bob Newhart with a headset... • NFL: Raiders' Randy Moss throws a bit of a hissy fit in game with Vikings as we suspected he might. • MLB: We still scoff at a grown man named Chipper, but he hit three homers, tying a major league record, to lead Braves' romp over Na...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while praying for Janky Spanky... • MLB: Michael Tucker Must Die: At least the Nationals think so after 3-1 loss to the Mets. • Tennis: Federer almost blows a Gasquet, rallies to win second straight Rogers Cup. • Basketball: US stops Lithuania 111-88. We'd say this is probably a foul...
About Last Night...
• NFL: Packers 3, Chargers 17. Phillip Rivers, 15/21, 169 yards, 1 TD in the first half. I'm pretty psyched about that. Of course, I once said the same thing about Ryan Leaf. • Boxing: Oleg Maskaev def. Hasim Rahman via 12th round KO. And America mourns. • MLB:: Giants 5, Dodgers 6. I keep waiting f...
Hasim Rahman, Great American Hero
There's a big fight tonight on pay-per-view. Hasim Rahman, the only American boxer that still holds a heavyweight title, fights for American pride against Oleg Maskaev....
