Kobe's Not Mad At Mike Brown Or His New Offense. He's Mad At The Guys Who Can't Run It.
Things are not well in Lakerland. They're 1-4, last in the Pacific, and toward the end of last night's loss to Utah, Kobe Bryant gave coach Mike Brown what can only be described as the look. Kobe doesn't hide it when he's angry....
Late Contender For Most Infantilizing Headline Of The Year: "Dez Bryant Stays Out Past Midnight"
That's sitting atop this piece on ESPN-it's on ESPN's frontpage headline feed as "Cowboys' Bryant gets permission to be out late"-about Dez Bryant's 24th birthday, which is tomorrow. Dez has been living under strict rules, enforced by Cowboys employees and personal advisers, ever since he assaulted...
Bryant McKinnie Sued For $375,000 In Unpaid Strip Club Bills
The Ravens tackle is being sued by, of all people, the father of rapper Trick Daddy. (He's also a bigtime South Florida strip club exec.) The suit claims McKinnie borrowed $375,000 in strip club expenses from Feb. 2009 to Sept. 2010, and has yet to pay back a dime....

Kobe's Motivational Speech To Alex Rodriguez: "You're Alex Rodriguez."
Alex Rodriguez isn't having fun sitting on the bench as the Yankees fight to reach the World Series (Well, maybe he's having some fun). A couple days ago, good friend Kobe Bryant, who was not happy to find out A-Rod was riding the pine, attempted to give a persuasive pep talk to the Yankees player....
Kobe Bryant Is Not Happy About Alex Rodriguez Being Yanked From Last Night's Game
So we all know the story by now. An embattled Alex Rodriguez gets pinch-hit for by a 40-year-old Raul Ibanez in the bottom of the ninth in a 2-1 game. Ibanez homers to tie the game, A-Rod does his part by looking joyous, and then Ibanez hits another homer in the 12th inning, giving the Yankees a 3-...
Dez Bryant Thought He Could Fool The Scab Refs Into Ruling This Catch A Touchdown
I've watched this play in HD maybe six or seven times, and it's clear that Dez Bryant is down on the turf in at least three different places (both knees and his right elbow) and perhaps also his left elbow, although it was inconclusive from the replay. Nonetheless, if you thought NFL players were ...
The Ravens Are Fighting With Their Own Left Tackle On Twitter Only Six Days Before Their Opener
Who will stand up and protect Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens QB? Eh, probably no one. We're six days away from the Ravens' opener—Monday night at Cincinnati—and they might be dumping starting left tackle Bryant McKinnie because they're upset about how much they're paying him....
Bob Bryan Pulled Off A Perfect Between-The-Legs Shot During A Second Set Tiebreak At The U.S. Open
Some trickery! Not only did Bob Bryan nonchalantly whip out the between-the-legs move that's apparently in his arsenal, he did so down a set, during a tiebreak, and hammered a winner to follow it up. The Bryan twins went on to win the tiebreak, and controlled the third set 6-3 to give them the mat...
Jerry Jones Grounds Dez Bryant
Dez Bryant can't go to strip clubs anymore and has to be driven to practice and games by some omnipresent security force. He also has a midnight curfew, unless he tells the Cowboys that he will not be abiding the midnight curfew. With advance notice, of course....

Who Is The World's Most Recognizable Athlete?
Saw this photo over at TBJ, of Kobe Bryant making an appearance on his annual Nike tour of China, and it's no surprise. China loves Kobe. Loves him.

Andre Iguodala Too Busy Eating At McDonald's To Pose For Photo With Serena Williams And Other USA Basketball Players
This photo was posted by Serena Williams, and it looks like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Tyson Chandler, Deron Williams, James Harden, and Kobe Bryant were eager to go along. Not Andre Iguodala, however. Maybe when the photographer said to say, "Cheese," he just couldn't help himself....
Now Kobe Bryant Has Trouble With His Camera, Has To Be Told To Remove The Lens Cap
Like we said yesterday when we noticed a professional photographer covering the Olympics had the same sort of trouble, this kind of oopsie can happen to anyone.

After The Expected Ass-Kicking, A Tunisian Player Had Kobe Bryant Autograph His Shoe
The U.S. overcame a slow start to thrash an unexpectedly tough-playing Tunisian team 110-63, which meant the usual courtesies extended to the losing side of handshakes, hugs, and the occasional picture. Tunisian forward Mohamed Hdidane—who surprised a lot of us with basketball we didn't expect fro...
