The Cavs' Super Secret Club (No Girls Allowed!)
Free Darko has a find that's making us giggle like an idiot: Apparently, Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James, Larry Hughes and Damon Jones (known around here as "two-and-a-half men") have come up with a "secret handshake that involves two low-fives, then a wave, then posing with their arms cros...
Could ND's Savior Be Gone After One Year?
The Mighty MJD brings up something we hadn't thought about: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, the "savior" of college football's most "sainted" program, has a very cheap buyout clause in his contract that would allow him to go to an NFL team for just $1.5 million. That team would have to offer him a ...
A View From Inside The Vikings Sex Boat
From the great NFL Wives Club Yahoo Group comes this missive from a woman who was actually on the Vikings sex boat:...
Jordan Demands Your Rapt Attention!
We haven't heard from Michael Jordan in a while, and Michael Jordan doesn't like it when we haven't heard from him in a while. In a "wide-ranging" interview with "60 Minutes" — for Jordan, "wide-ranging" interviews basically mean there's no actual fellatio shown on screen — Jordan talks to the unf...
Zoot Suitin' Boogie
All right, we've avoided this long enough: We now have to acknowledge this whole NBA dress code thing. What sparked us into action? Why, Mark Cuban, of course, who addresses the "controversy on his blog. His take: It's a matter of owners not knowing how to relate to their players, which is a shock...
Vikings In Desperate Need Of Dramamine
All kinds of developments from the Vikings orgy boat story over the weekend. The highlights:...
Anybody Recovered From The USC Game Yet?
Honestly, you just know Nick Lachey was wetting his pants in South Bend on Saturday. We still haven't quite come down from the high of USC's thrilling 34-31 victory over Notre Dame, a game that somehow made everyone on both teams into a legend. Most of the Notre Dame fans we know aren't even angry...
Help ND Alums Keep Coach Weis From Dying
If you weren't officially excited enough about the Notre Dame-USC game already, let this wet your whistle: It's WeisWatchers, (another) Irish fans site. (Honestly, Irish fans, they're a little weird. In a good way, don't hate us.) The idea of the site is for all Irish fans in the South Bend area t...
Dan Dickau Loses A Potential Best Pal
The kids over at Yay!Sports have this fun game they've decided to play with chats with NBA players on NBA.com: They ask them : "Freestyle a bit for us and I'll be your best friend." (The bit is derived from an actual question to LeBron James in an AOL chat; apparently the joke made him "LOL" so ha...
The Dirty Sheets Of South Bend
People are so excited about the USC-Notre Dame game this weekend that even travel arrangements are making the news. The fine folks at HotelChatter have taken a look at one of the worst hotels near Touchdown Jesus you could possibly find, the Knight's Inn South Bend, where one guest checked into th...
Will The Boss Rock Touchdown Jesus?
We keep hearing about all these rumors, so since we are who we are, we might as well publish them. Whispers abound all around South Bend that tomorrow's pep rally for the Notre Dame game against the undefeated USC Trojans — recently moved from the Joyce Center to Notre Dame Stadium — will feature ...
Damon Stoudamire: Block Sender
We were at a bar a couple of weeks ago with some female friends of ours when, out of nowhere, some lady came up to us and asked us what we thought of a particularly brand of vodka. We told her we had no real opinions about it, but she continued, saying it mixed well with "tonic and other carbonate...
NFL Roundup: Davenport Craps Out
• After intercepting an Anthony Wright pass in the end zone, Lions defensive back Dre Bly honored injured Packers running back Najeh Davenport by doing a spitting-image impersonation of him. Which was nice, we thought. • After yesterday, we'll just say that we're going to really enjoy watching Terr...
Macha Out As A's Manager
Just to show you the magical power of blogging, we are the first people on the Web to break the news that Ken Macha is leaving as manager of the Oakland Athletics. According to Peter Gammons, Macha wanted more money than general manager Smilin' Billy Beane wanted to pay, so he's now a "free agent....
Mark Cuban Is Totally Crushing, Yo
We continue to love that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban continues to blog about his team; checking in with him throughout the season is always one of our favorite NBA highlights. He files today's report from the Mavs' first practice, where he details new acquisition Doug Christie's sessions with a new...
Another Freaking GM Who Doesn't Need To Shave
Honestly, at some point, we're gonna end up seeing baseball owners sitting at the bedroom window of high school Strat-o-Matic games, wearing sun visors, peering through binoculars and feverishly scribbling in a notebook. After Rangers general manager John Hart resigned yesterday, the team hired 28...
Those Raving, Chattery, Jittery Ballplayers
Remember that famous episode of "Family Ties," when Alex P. Keaton, way behind on his studying for his midterms, has to take speed to stay awake and ends up getting addicted? (Our favorite part is when he paints the hallway at 3:30 in the morning and installs an underground sprinkler system.) We'r...
Blogdome: Wrapping Up The Baseball Season
• A frustrating, exhilarating and typical day to be a Philadelphia sports fan. [Philadelphia Will Do] • Cardinals blogs all get together and fret about the postseason. "So, awesome. No pitching, no relief, no health, and our manager's a nutjob." We feel their pain. [Viva El Birdos] • You should all ...
