WFAN Just Obliterated Mike Francesa's Most Effective Marketer
WFAN Audio, the internet's largest repository of Mike Francesa clips, was decimated today, as WFAN/CBS issued takedown notices on hundreds of YouTube videos.

The Cubs' 400-Pound Wrigley Cake Is Sitting In A Dumpster Right Now
To celebrate Wrigley Field's 100th birthday yesterday, the Cubs commissioned "The Edible Confines," a 5'x5', 400-pound cake version of Wrigley. It took four bakers six days to make. It took one day to be unceremoniously trashed, much like a century's worth of Cubs fans' hopes and dreams....

Blues Fan Bares Breasts During Chicago-St. Louis Overtime
First Joel Quenneville grabbed his nuts and now this: a Blues fan sitting behind the goal in St. Louis took a moment to urge her team on in overtime by flashing her breasts. Shortly thereafter, St. Louis scored and took a commanding 2-0 lead in the NHL's most x-rated series so far....
The Diamondbacks Will Wear Kansas City Throwback Uniforms
Look at that. That's a damn fine uniform. Unis from a century ago were usually pretty great—white or gray, high socks, uncluttered chest logo, and my favorite, logo-less caps. The Diamondbacks will suit up in these bad boys next Wednesday, and they're going to look great, but it's more than little w...

If This Is How MLB's New Home-Plate Rule Will Be Applied, We Hate It [Update]

Final Four Teamcasts Leave Viewers Confused, Enraged About "Bias"
Tonight's Final Four games were aired on TBS, with team-specific broadcasts on TNT and TruTV.
