Vince Young Does Not Fear Hard Surfaces
But my favorite part was the post-practice quote by Nickey: "Someone comes at me, I'm not going to back down. I don't care if it's Vince, President Bush. That's just instincts that come out."...
You Still Got That Little BB In Your Eye, Kornacki?
You'd think having to cover the Kansas City Royals was a pain in the ass as it is when ... BAM! A pellet-gun bullet straight to the face! Jesus, Emil! Watch where you point that thing!...
Another Perfect Moment Spoiled By Assheads
Like many of you, our favorite moment from last year's college football season was the thrilling Fiesta Bowl, in which Boise State beat Oklahoma with the Statue of Liberty play and running back Ian Johnson proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend after scoring the winning points. It was one of those s...
To Watch Tonight ...
What to watch while you wait for Jemaine, Bret and Murray ... • Awards: ESPYS. $10 says Tomlinson wins four trophies. [ESPN] • Cycling: Tour de France, Stage 8. Amazing asphalt on this leg. [Versus] • Movie: Rocky V. Oh, it happened it, Bill. It. Happened. [ESPN Classic]...
We Were All So Lame In The Early 90s
We don't mean to destroy the mystery surrounding the ESPYs — which taped last night and will be shown Sunday — but, well, co-host LeBron James did a song called "My LeBrongative." We're sure the rest of the evening's hilarity followed that pattern....
Platt Vs. Turturro, For All The Ham
If you haven't gotten brought up to speed on The Bronx Is Burning just yet, fret not: It's pretty easy to catch up. Oliver Platt yells, John Turturro yells, Sam shoots people, Reggie hits homers. (The Dugout recap sums it up rather well.)...
Brady Quinn's Unskinny Bop
Thanks, Mondesi's House, for reminding us once again that there is absolutely nothing like a Brady Quinn photo. That's Bret Michaels. Of course it is....
Shockingly, The ESPN Movie Isn't Getting Great Reviews
We will confess, we have been, in spite of ourselves, kind of looking forward to the premiere of The Bronx Is Burning tonight. We know, ESPN's movies have been rather awful, and we are dealing with the guy who directed Benny And Joon....
What Will Be Cut From This Year's ESPY Awards?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
The Exact Human Opposite Of Jim Nantz
Ron Jaworski? Please. This is your new MNF foil for Kornheiser....
Mike And Mike Are Everywhere You Look
All told, we think we gave Mike and Mike too hard of a time on the whole spelling bee thing. They weren't so bad; maybe they toned down the schtick for ABC. Anyway, as part of ESPN's plan to have Mike Greenberg (the gay one) and Mike Golic (the fat one) broadcasting every event that Berman and Tiric...
Whew! Now The Cavaliers Have A Chance!
We would like to formally congratulate LeBron James who, just in time for Game 4, became a father for the second time at 12:15 this morning. The kid's name is "Bryce Maximus James," which is exactly what our parents once considered naming us....
The Witnesses May Step Down
This picture kind of sums up why the NBA Finals, after the brief hope of LeBron's ascension, has become a must-miss: People flailing around, grabbing each other, and the Spurs efficiently cruising along. Last night was closer, we suppose, but we just can't fire ourselves up that much for an NBA Fina...
Apparently, We Are All NOT Witnesses
The TV ratings are in, and Game 1 of the 2007 NBA Finals was the... (all together now):...
What's the Next MLB Promotional Gimmick?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Somebody Wake Up The Cavs
One of the fun aspects of any championship, whether it's the World Series or the Super Bowl or whatever, is that the casual fan who hasn't followed a particular team all season is introduced to a team the devotees have been analyzing all along. The diehard fan is fully aware of his team's flaws and ...
Free Darko NBA Finals Pants Party: Cleveland Cavaliers
Because we feel that no one understands the NBA more like the way we wish we understood the NBA than the gang at Free Darko, we've asked them to write up previews of every playoff series throughout the postseason. You've seen all these by now: It will help us understand what's at stake in each serie...
Thanks, LeBron, From Everybody
Because it happened over the weekend, we didn't get a chance to appropriately salute LeBron James and the Cavaliers not only for reaching the NBA Finals, but giving us a reason to watch those Finals. As the whole Cleveland area goes nuts, we note that even Spurs fans are happy with how this turned o...
It's Enough To Make You Want To Hug Damon Jones
I don't know if it's enough to erase the pain of Jordan-over-Ehlo or Earnest Byner's fumble, but last night had to be the best Cleveland sports fans have felt since ... well, since the ping-pong balls bounced their way and they won the right to draft LeBron James....
