Barry Bonds Has Friends In High Places
As controversial as Barry Bonds — who broke the all-time home run record last week, in case you missed it — is to many people, you'd imagine his best pals are murderers, dogfight enthusiasts and those who try to cut in lines at the car rental place. But it turns out, his best buddies are a little mo...
Could Vick Plead Out This Week?
One thing we're not necessarily looking forward to, if it comes to that, is a Michael Vick trial. We already have read all the gory details and aren't necessarily eager to see them rehashed in gruesome detail, with pictures. And these trials inevitably involve a bunch of lawyers talking to each othe...
You're Doin' A Heckuva Job, 'Bama
Remember those federal tax breaks that were supposed to be for New Orleans Katrina victims to rebuild their homes and businesses?

Are The Yankees Doomed?
That was quite a heartfelt mea culpa by WWL columnist Jeff Pearlman on Monday, eh? Basically, Pearlman proferred a sloppy apology to Joe Torre for writing off the Yankees — and calling for Torre's head — in May. You can get in on the fun right here. But here's the thing: What if New York still ends ...

Nothing Says The EPL Like A Botched Orgy
You know, if you can't trust a soccer player to behave himself during an orgy with his teammates and prostitutes, sheesh, who can you trust?...
Pac Man Is "Wrestling" At The Wrong Time
Before your proverbial panties are proverbially bunched by Pac Man Jones not really wrestling, the fine gents at Rich Kotite Banged Your Mom remind us that, in the olden days of 12 years ago, NFL players didn't just wrestle, they headlined Wrestlemania. There was no worry about injury back then, tho...
Actually, It Kind Of Reminds One Of The NFC West
Because college football season is almost here, and because I can already picture Joe Paterno leading a player around by the nose with a pair of pliers, I give you this ... one more reason to love Philadelphia.

Our Rick Ankiel Weekend
It really has been bizarre to watch the reaction to Rick Ankiel's triumphant return to St. Louis as a power-hitting outfielder.
