Barbados World Cup Dreams Go Down Hard
Well, that went about as expected, considering that Sussman is their starting goalie. Barbados lost to the U.S. 8-0 on Sunday in a World Cup qualifier, as you can see in the above video highlights, which are nearly as long as the match itself. Watch closely, because I'm pretty sure we scored two goa...
Tim Russert Was A Grand Thespian
Acting! What's more fun than seeing Russert saying, "it's all about the Benjamins" while doing a fist bump? If you haven't seen Luke Russert's interview this morning with "Today," we recommend doing so immediately, but only when no one's around, lest your boss make fun of you for weeping. We still t...
Kobe Bryant, Experienced Drinker
Of all the weird, vaguely insane things that Kobe Bryant has done in his weird, vaguely insane life — this is still our favorite — the most public and quietly strange might have been his claim at his press conference last night that he would go home and “whine about it tonight ... lot of wine ... lo...
Hang Onto The Ball, Or Pants?
If you're trying for a foul ball at a game, it's best to make certain that your pants will stay in the proper "wrapped around your waist" position for which they were initially intended. Imagine if this would have happened to poor Steve Bartman....
How Not To Heckle
We enjoy heckling as much as the next guy, but yeah: This is a bit much. It's also the inevitable byproduct of having open bullpens like that. Yes, yes, you bought a ticket, you have the right to yell ... but man, points go to Percival for not throwing his glove at somebody....
The Tampa Bay Rays Educate You On The Fist Bump
Seriously, though, about those Rays: Remember back in March 2007, when Rays president Matthew Silverman amusingly bought himself a blogger fan? We mocked them — good-naturedly — back then, but the Rays are clearly on the right track, fanbase wise. If there's any way to bring fans into the Rays tent ...
Yankee Fans Even Hate Givers Of Life
Yes, bringer of life to the planet ... YOU SUCK! TRADE THE BUM!...
Please Don't Make Legends Wear Their Old Uniforms
Most frighteningly, as The Serious Tip points out, their collective voices sounds like ... well, an old friend....
To Live, Lose And Be Pummeled In L.A.
That's actually a substantial fight, one worthy of praise; had there been a game going on, they'd have broken it up so much sooner. We hope this was a run-of-the-mill dispute, the kind that happens when you file thousands of people into a confined space to watch the home team stink it up for three-p...
Congratulations, Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings
The NHL Closer is written by five people of European descent at Melt Your Face Off. We're not the first people to blog the Stanley Cup Finals, but Don Cherry still calls us "soft". So, for all you kids out there, Raskolnikov toughened up to recapitulate Detroit's clincher....
The Blog Show Takes One Step Closer To Critical Mass
Any sports personality who's established a serious level of online notoriety now has a must-stop to truly establish themselves as an internet mega-star: Mottram and Steinberg's "Blog Show." The Comcast D.C. mini-sodes have risen from the depths of cable access-style shlockyness to fascinating and en...
Dancing Men Scare Busch Stadium Bleacher Crowd
If we know your typical Busch Stadium-weekday-night-game crowd well enough ... there were some very confused fans in those bleachers. And lots of angry letters to the Cardinals front office....
That's One Way To Protest A Call
We don't see how any reasonable person could not see it as obviously intentional, but they've gotta investigate anyway....
Mariah Isn't Even The Worst
The famous Cincinnati mayor Mark Mallory is still probably the worst, though his endless "jokey" PR campaign about it took a lot of the fun out of it. If we ever had to throw out a first pitch sometime, we'd be so nervous, we probably wouldn't do much better. We wonder if celebrities can just start ...
How Far We've Come From The Kobe Video
Amazingly, it has been less than a year since the ridiculous Kobe Video broke; look at Kobe now. To this day, we cannot fathom what compelled Kobe to light Bynum up like that to two random dudes he started talking to in the parking lot. We love TheKobeVideo.com; the famously "entrepreneurial" site p...
Orioles Magic ... Uh, Catch It, Or Something
We're not sure anyone other than Kevin Millar is in on the joke here, but alas: Here's "Orioles Magic," the new/old/new theme song for the Baltimore Orioles, sung by the Baltimore Orioles, rocked out by the Baltimore Orioles....
Charles Barkley Admits To Dumbassery
Of everyone we've featured in our Media Approval Ratings, the two most popular media members are TNT's Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley. (They've both ahead of Erin Andrews, for cripes sake.) This prank on Barkley, by Johnson, might help explain why....
