Kwame Brown Has No Concerns About Excess Flour Intake
Sometimes, we just don't have to say anything, other than, well, this must have been what Michael Jordan had in mind when he drafted him....
NBA Roundup: Say It With Us ... Sasha Vujacic
Notes on Sunday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
Larry Brown Has A New Job
With Allen Iverson having moved on to much, much greener pastures, Larry Brown is now officially back with the Philadelphia 76ers. He had been doing some unofficial consulting for a while, but now has the official Executive Vice President title. I don't know how much that job pays, but Isiah Thomas ...
So, What Was Javon Walker's Involvement?
Curious stories about the Darrent Williams tragedy seem to be popping up every hour, most of them surrounding wideout Javon Walker's whereabouts. Was he in the limo? Did Williams die in his arms? Did he show up to the Broncos facility with blood on his shirt as ESPN.com reported?...
Bowl Roundup: Clearly, The Runner's Knee Was Down
Just as one should never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, one should also never propose after scoring the winning two-point conversion in the Fiesta Bowl. That's Boise State tailback Ian Johnson popping the question to his girlfriend, Chrissy Popadics, moments after the Broncos had beaten ...
Broncos Cornerback Darrent Williams Killed in Drive-By
Sad news out of Denver this morning. AP wire reports:...
Curse Of The 1980s Giants Infield Continues
We are saddened this morning by reports of the death of former San Francisco Giants third baseman Chris Brown. We don't know what's going on with Giants infielders from the 1980s (Jose Uribe died in a car crash on Dec. 8), but Matt Williams, watch your back. Brown, who was Darryl Strawberry's teamma...
The True Essence Of Every TMQ Column
This was so inevitable that we can't believe it took them so long: The gang at Kissing Suzy Kolber have finally gotten around to mocking Gregg Easterbrook. Some comedic highlights:...
It's Sleepy Football Night In America
We try to recap each weeknight game the morning after around here, because weekday games are rare and often are the talk of the "water cooler" around "the office" with one's "co-workers." Unfortunately, last night's Steelers-Browns tilt was, well, a completely shellacking that was over early and in ...
Well, It's Not That Big A Deal If You Miss This One
This, it's safe to say, is not one of those night when we're banging our head against the wall for not having the NFL Network. (We're far more concerned about missing the Rutgers bowl game.) The Steelers and the Browns, two teams long since removed from the playoff picture, go head to head tonight, ...
Sunday Night Football: Seahawks @ Broncos
Tonight, Jay Cutler becomes the next Broncos quarterback that no one in Denver will like because his name isn't "John Elway." Well, that might not be true. They could end up liking him. Denver had Super Bowl hopes as recent as a few weeks ago, so all Cutler has to do is rescue the floundering team, ...
Jake Plummer Has No Qualms About Doing This Again
Everybody has a cross to bear. Some of us were always picked last in kickball and still harbor resentment about it. Some of us have a lifelong fear of spiders, or horses, or, say, snakes. Some of us become never-nudes. We all have to overcome something....
LeBron Dunks Because He Can
J.E. Skeets at The Basketball Jones unearthed this clip of LeBron goofing off during pregame warmups at a recent Cavs game. When normal people screw around on a basketball court, they throw up a half-ass shot from behind the backboard or something. When LeBron James goofs off, he throws a behind the...
The Familiar Story Of The Oppressed Crocheting Running Back With The Collapsed Lung
In a November 11th game against San Jose State, Boise State running back Ian Johnson suffered a collapsed lung and cracked ribs. And just in case the young man's spirits weren't low enough, the NCAA decided to stop in and take away his main source of income, which happens to be crocheting hats and s...
Enjoy Thanksgiving Night Football (Maybe, Probably Not)
The slate of NFL games for Thanksgiving Day, as is often the case, aren't the most exciting, if just because we have to deal with Detroit every year. The Dallas game features the glory of Bruce Gradkowski, so that's not all too inspiring either....
Sunday Night Football: Chargers @ Broncos
You've got LaDainian Tomlinson trying to be the fastest to get to 100 TDs, you've got a struggling Jake Plummer trying to hold onto his starting job, you've got an important game between two AFC teams with legit Super Bowl hopes... but I don't think game previews get any more insightful or poignant ...
NBA Roundup: Welcome Our Cleveland Cavalier Overlords
Notes on Monday's games in the National Basketball Association:...
A Very Unmanly Night Of Boxing
At Madison Square Garden tonight, Muhammad Ali will be in the house, and the IBF heavyweight title is on the line. There was a time when that would've meant something. Tonight, however, Muhammad's only there to support his daughter, and the guy who's challenging for the world heavyweight title would...
Free Darko Previews: LeBron James
As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tal...
You Don't Like Your Team As Much As Browns Fans Do
This is old, but we hadn't seen it: Some magazine or something ranked all 32 NFL teams on their fan loyalty. We like little lists like this, but we're kind of Tourettic....
