Barry Bonds Keeps The Homeland Safe
Well, the regular season is over, which means we have to say goodbye to one of our favorite features: Checking in on Barry Bonds' journal at BarryBonds.com.

Could Bonds Be The New Karl Rove?
We'd never thought about this before — mainly because politics scares and confuses us — but in a weird way, this kind of makes perfect sense: Barry Bonds is the Karl Rove of sports. Think about it. Bonds sticks to his guns no matter how ridiculous his position; he says he's going to do something, ...

So you know." And no...

Of all the self-involved attempts by athlete to pump up the Q rating by pretending...

Barry Bonds' Blogroll
Sometimes we think we could play around on Barry Bonds' Web site all day. Unlike many athletes' who have their own sites, Bonds actually seems to put some time into his, mainly because it's the only way he can talk to his "fans" without the evil frothing media standing in the way. Well, digging a...

The Amazing, Vanishing Barry Bonds

Barry Returns, Giants Fans Remember What Life's Like
Well, our boy Barry Bonds returned to the Giants last night, and other than the blantantly terrible spelling on the front of his jersey (come on, people; G-I-A-N-T-S, it ain't that hard!), it was an smashing success all around. Bonds almost homered, the crowd showered him with nothing but Californ...

A Steroid Family Feud
We know it's NFL Kickoff Night, and we know it's kind of a bummer to finish our first day with a post about baseball, but we just find it tough to resist a couple of steroids guys feuding. (We always imagine them having counterintuitive arguments about who has smaller testicles.)...

We were playing around on BarryBonds.com again today — honestly, it's like Christmas every day; we don't care if he plays again or not, as long as he keeps his site updated — and, on a page devoted to Barry's 40th birthday party, we found the above picture....

Suddenly Charitable Bonds Could Return Tonight

We were going to mock Bonds' ...
