Unfortunately, There Won't Be Anyone Wearing This Type of Outfit on Broad Street Tonight
Win or lose, mind you. It's just too damn cold to be parading around like this young lady was last Sunday night. She is obviously proud of her formidable upper thigh definition. The forecast for the game tonight is a frigid 30 degrees. Of course if there is a victory at the end of this wacky three i...

John Daly, a North Carolina Hooters, 2:17 a.m — Guess How This Story Ends?
Well, hi there, handsome! Here's the latest mugshot of troubled professional golfer John Daly, who is obviously still hellbent on recklessly drinkin' and piggin' himself toward an early grave. Winston-Salem police arrived at a Hooters restaurant early Sunday morning and came upon Daly being "intoxic...
Unfortunate Babies Poised For Lifetime Of Regret
I'm quite certain that, should he win on Nov. 4, the first order of business in the new Barack Obama administration will be to end the practice of parents naming their children after sports stars. Sadly it's too late for little Cole and Chase Ryan, born just prior to Monday's Great Rain Delay and na...

Cops Still Baffled By Isiah Thomas' Tomfoolery
We'll probably never know what really happened last Friday night at Isiah Thomas' spacious pad in Purchase, New York, but the one thing that is being made perfectly clear: he's the one who overdosed on sleeping pills, not his daughter, and police chief, David Hall, is doing everything possible to ma...
Ethical Quandaries: What Should I Do With These Two Stubs That Could Pay This Month's Rent?
How much is three innings of baseball worth? As you can see, these seats are in the terrace deck of Citizens Bank Park (Sec. 426, row 3) , but are still going for $700 a pop on StubHub right now. That could buy me a whole crapload of macaroni. I'm torn. Do I want to be a part of history with my fat...
Alabama Fan Waxes Eloquent On Life, Tennessee, and Saban
This is what it has come to: an erudite Alabama fan self-nicknamed "Cowboy" is Phil Fulmer's greatest defender. And Cowboy thinks that Nick Saban might be watching his analysis. Which, given that Saban is all-knowing and all-powerful, He probably is. Find a better mustache than this, I dare you. ...
This Is Why We Can't Have Two-Way Football Players Anymore
College and pro sports are dirty cesspools of corruption, greed, and underhanded malfeasance, but they've got nothing on the cutthroat world of high school football. Just ask Taysom Hill, a star quarterback from Highland High School in Idaho, who is committed to Stanford. Recent opponent and cross-...
A Detroit Columnist Caught Making Stuff Up? Surely Not
Detroit News columnist Rob Parker really doesn't appear on my radar screen much, except for this infamous column, and of course his work on the dearly departed Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith. So that's two strikes against him right there. But now comes the news that he apparently fabricated sou...
Greg Oden's Body Hates Him
Well, it's a good thing Greg Oden has that creaky knee back in proper working order. That way, the Portland Trail Blazers' medical staff can focus their full attention on his latest injury: A "sprained" foot. I'll give Oden this much: He’s already been more durable than he was last season. After all...

Loaded Feature Stories That Make It Abundantly Clear Why Newspapers Suck
Yes, that's Brett Myers, Phillies number two pitcher, who many of you only know as the man who punched his wife in the face outside a Boston bar back in June of 2006. Given his penchant for violence and dickheaded outbursts, it would seem completely ridiculous for a newspaper to do a feature story o...
Arkansas Radio Host Just Thankful Gregg Doyle Didn't Bite Off Any Extremities
Shawn Arnell isn't sure what he did to piss off CBS Sportsline columnist Gregg Doyle so badly. On Tuesday we detailed their radio interview in which Arnell, co-host of KARN's "Morning Animals" show in Little Rock (that's him to the right), jousted with the feisty online columnist about a piece he wr...
Morning Blogdome: An Acta Faith
You should write to [email protected]. It misses you. • Good grief, Chuck: Everyone deals with the end of baseball season in their own way. Carving graven images of Manny Acta isn't high on the list, but you do what you gotta do. [We've Got Heart] • It's going to be a long winter: Does a Konerk...
Houston, We Have A Compound Fracture
As someone old enough to remember seeing "The Theisman Incident" on live TV, I like to consider myself an aficionado of horrifying bone-melting leg injuries. If you were watching the gridiron donnybrook between Houston and Marshall last night—and really, why would you be?—you witnessed one that will...
Puny Philadelphians; You Will Never Stop The Carnival Cruise Six-Story Piñata Of Doom
Despite its wish not to jinx the Phillies by prematurely planning a World Series victory parade, the City of Philadelphia tipped its hand on Tuesday in the most unlikely of ways; by disrespecting the world's largest piñata. It seems that Carnival Cruise Lines has spent months planning a huge event i...
