Guy, Yes, Maybe, Guy, Guy (Your Results May Vary)
Having once lived in Westwood for 13 months, one would think that I would have noticed hundreds of UCLA coeds running around in their panties three times a year. But nope. The UCLA Undie Run was news to me when I read about it this morning (is this a relatively new phenomenon?). The latest installme...
It's Just Melky Being Manny, I Suppose
I'm just glad that George Steinbrenner didn't live to see this. Apparently there's a tradition at Yankee Stadium where a group of fans called the Bleacher Creatures chant out each player's name in the first inning. The player usually acknowledges this; but not during a play. Oh, Melky Cabrera. You c...
Rick Mahorn Still Can't Figure Out How To Talk To Girls
Sadly, last night's brawl between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Detroit Shock will probably be the only storyline that puts the WNBA above the fold for the rest of the regular season. As far as sports melees go, it was monumental; it involved two of the leagues major stars (Candace Parker, Lisa Les...
Brett Favre Is Just Terrorizing The Entire NFC North
It's becoming more and more likely that the Minnesota Vikings will potentially come out the biggest losers in the whole Brett Favre un-retirement saga. Yesterday, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel writer Bob McGinn plopped an item in the "Packer Insider" package ($6.95 per month for subscribers who want mo...
Steve Young Assesses The Brett Favre Mess
I don't think I'd be out of line in saying that Steve Young is an oasis in an ESPN desert of crapitude. Any man who was constantly subjected to Joe Morgan's and Michael Irvin's ramblings on a regular basis and yet kept a positive outlook is pretty much my hero. Also, he was a fair quarterback, I hea...
Chris Evert And Greg Norman Are Just Two Old Horndogs Lovin' Life
Yesterday's British Open didn't have the storybook ending Greg Norman probably would've hoped for, but two people that were probably thrilled Norman faltered in the final round yesterday were his ex-wife and current wife Chris Evert's ex-husband. Although rumors about a passionate affair between the...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch on the subway ... • MLB: Brewers at Cardinals. (7 p.m., ET). Ray Durham acquisition tips the balance of power. [ESPN] • MLB: Rangers at White Sox. (8:11 p.m., ET). I'll meet you in front of the Harold Baines statue. [KDFI] [WCIU] • Cycling: Tour de France (8 p.m., ET). This is a rest d...
In The End, Joey Harrington's Distant Cousin Triumphs
All weekend the world was talking about Greg Norman's resurgence, briefly forgetting what he normally does on Sunday. (Fortunately, he reminded us almost immediately.) Then for about 10 minutes the hot golfer was Britain's Ian Poulter. Even for a split second, Jim Furyk's finish of +10 might have be...
The Normans Have Invaded England Yet Again
Not since 1066 has England been this shocked of a Norman ruling their empire. Greg Norman, winner of the '86 and '93 Opens, is the clubhouse leader after 54 holes with 2-over-par. He was a half-inch from finishing the 18th hole with a chip-in and another few inches from an eagle on 17. A couple more...
Broncos Stink Like A Flower That Stinks Really Bad
Here's a game for you the next time you pick up the sports section of a newspaper. (If people still do that these days. Zing! High five!) Find their local columnist and count how many consecutive one-sentence paragraphs that lead off their article. Today, it's Woody Paige, and the count comes in at ...
Fake Exclusive: Will Leitch Wants To Unretire From Deadspin
He holds sports blogging's most heralded records for posts, pageviews, and consecutive days blogged. He also holds the dubious record for most HTML tags left open. Will Leitch stepped down as Deadspin editor last month. But now he's making headlines as he's hinting toward returning to the sports blo...
British Open Update: Nobody's under par, either overall or today. David Duval and Jean Van de Velde are both +10 for the round, and they're still not done scrambling around the green. The lead is a healthy +2, shared by four men including Greg Norman. 2003 Open champion Ben Curtis, at +7, made up a ...
Man Loses Phillies-Brewers Bet and Goes Homeless For a Week
Two D.C. area men bet over which team would finish with more wins in 2007, the Phillies or the Brewers. The Phillies finished with more wins. As a result, Chris Jollay, a 36 year old Brewers fan, lost and lived as a homeless man for a week....
I Can Think Of No Better Metaphor For The Favre Situation Than This
How to say goodbye to the Wisconsin legend that is Brett Favre? Well, other than a life-sized statue made entirely of cheese, this giant corn maze will have to do. (Or would it be giant maize maze?). It's fitting, too; because visitors will take a confusing, roundabout journey where each new turn le...

Greg Norman Owns the British Open...Your Mom's Heart
Right now Norman's the leader at even par. Of course in 1986 Greg Norman won the "Saturday Slam" by leading all four major tournaments with one day to play. He only managed to win the British Open. He's also the only golfer to have lost a playoff at all four majors. I guess what I'm saying is, Greg ...
Brady Quinn: Bringing People Together Of All Persuasions
It's only speculation as to how many gay relationships have been started because of Brady Quinn. After all, his photo has been used to promote the M4M gay dating service for a couple of months now on Facebook pages across our great land....
British Open co-leader? Rocco F'in Mediate
Fresh off his one-stroke 18 hole playoff loss to Tiger, the man, the myth, the legend, Rocco Mediate clocked in his first round at -1. So if you had a dream that man boobs were going to own the British Open and you rushed to Vegas to lay your money on Phil, you picked the wrong tits....
Phil Mickelson and John Daly Might As Well Go Get Wasted in a Pub
Rolling into the British Open Phil Mickelson was optimistic this could be his year. By 10:30 eastern, we knew that wasn't the case. The Hefty Left swung his manboobs from one side of the fairway to the other on his way to a robust 79. At least he didn't waste any time taking himself out of competiti...
OK, Nobody Leaves The Room; The ESPYS Gift Bag Seems To Be Missing An Item
On Tuesday our friends at Awful Announcing took a look inside the gift bags that are handed out to presenters and nominees of the ESPYS. They're not as elaborate as the swag handed out at the Oscars, but look! A Subway Sandwiches gift card! Anyway, AA provided a full list of items, including, at No....
