Cop Attacked, Bitten By Dolphin
I had never heard of Dolphins defensive tackle Fred Evans, but when a man tastes the Taser gun twice, and still manages to bite a cop ... well, that grabs your attention. From The Ledger, in Lakeland, Florida:...
Paul Lo Duca's Inspiring Idiocy
• I'm Sorry, Italians. Paul Lo Duca calls it a "good Italian temper," but I'm going to choose to think a little more highly of the Italian-American population, and call Lo Duca's display childish, dumb, and embarrassing. The idiot Mets catcher was thrown out of the game for arguing balls and strikes...
You Are Up For Adoption
As Will told you yesterday, Weekend Daddy no longer wants custody of you. I've got this weekend, and one more. I had planned to just surprise everyone with my last post, and throw up a full-frontal picture of Jeff Reed's genitalia, but I guess that's not necessary now. Of course, it seems like it's ...
Enjoy The Comedic Stylings Of Lenny DiNardo
Tonight, the summer of Pants Parties continues: We'll be hitting ole Shea Stadium for the A's-Mets showdown. DiNardo! Glavine! Eight dollar beers! Welcome to New York....
Which Athlete Will Be The Next Gay Blog Obsession?

Dave Trembley Already Making Friends
We don't want to say that Baltimore interim manager Dave Trembley should perhaps rent, not buy, but ... well, it's probably a bad sign when you've had to make one real decision as manager, and your decision already has everyone wanting to fire you....
A Q&A With Sen. Chris Dodd
Unlike most of the rest of America, we're already entranced by the 2008 Presidential race, even though we're, uh, still 17 months away from the election. (We have a history of being way too into this business way too early.) At this point, most candidates are just trying to raise money and elbow for...
The WWE Is Leaving No Stone Unturned
We didn't grow up watching much professional wrestling, so we don't have the solid foundation in its history as some of you might ... but we'll confess, for a writer/reporter, being brought into an ongoing WWE "feud" without your knowledge has to be quite the career highlight....
Mike And Mike Are Everywhere You Look
All told, we think we gave Mike and Mike too hard of a time on the whole spelling bee thing. They weren't so bad; maybe they toned down the schtick for ABC. Anyway, as part of ESPN's plan to have Mike Greenberg (the gay one) and Mike Golic (the fat one) broadcasting every event that Berman and Tiric...
Prince Fielder Is Good For What Ale's Ya
Notes from a day in baseball:...
Farewell And Adieu To You Fair Spanish Ladies
Just in case David Beckham has any ideas about sticking around in Europe, Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes were on hand to make sure that he gets on that plane for LA. Sunday's farewell game was a magical moment for Beckham's rooting section (that's Victoria toting Imp Spice next to the Cruises), as...
Some Honest To Goodness Father's Day Sentimentality
As is becoming custom on holidays designed to honor parents, the Ladies... have some outstanding posts up for your reading pleasure today. Texas Gal shares a lovely story about her love of the Texas Longhorns, her father, and how she got to take him to Vince Young's national championship triumph....
For The Papas That Aren't Rolling Stones...
If I could, I'd like to take a second and wish my old man a Happy Father's Day. Although, a couple of weeks ago, I wished him a happy birthday in The Debriefing, and the son of a bitch couldn't be bothered to read it. So you know what? I take it back. FUCK YOU, DAD....
What, Like House Of Pain Was Gonna Do Anything?
Seems like there are a lot of scuffles outside of nightclubs these days. And more and more, it seems like these scuffles are accompanied by someone pulling out a gun and shooting it into the air ... because nothing defuses a situation better than spontaneous gunfire....
Some Father's Days Are Happier Than Others
Well, it's Father's Day on Sunday, and nowhere in the world of entertainment are there more fathers — known and otherwise — than in the world of sports. The Shawn Kemp picture is an obvious joke, an obvious joke we were completely helpless to resist....
