Drew Tate Does The Ocho
In the spirit of the Big Ten football theme we've got going this afternoon, we proudly present you with Drew Tate, quarterback for the consistently disappointing Iowa Hawkeyes, rocking out the Halloween party circuit with some pals as, apparently, the bad guys from "Dodgeball." Frankly, this is the ...
Drew Brees Hates The Witch He Has For A Mom
If Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his mother were, you know, speaking to each other, this would make for a rather awkward Thanksgiving. Fortunately, he hates her!...
The Skinny On The Harold Reynolds Lawsuit
Mr. Balk mentioned this yesterday, but we'll never stop having fun with The Smoking Gun's copy of Harold Reynolds' suit against ESPN. For a document put together simply to defend Reynolds' high moral character, it's full of juicy details. Some highlights:...
Drew Brees' Mom Probably Won't Be Appearing in Any Soup Ads Anytime Soon
Drew Brees, your New Orleans Saints quarterback, has had a rocky relationship with his mom ever since he refused to sign her as his agent when he came out of Purdue. Unfortunately, things seem to have taken a turn for the worse:...
Harold Reynolds Should Have Gone To Outback Steakhouse
As is usually the case, The Smoking Gun swoops in and gets the documents filed against ESPN by grabby announcer Harold Reynolds. We don't have much to add except to say that we would have been more upset by being taking to Boston Fucking Market than by the actual "innocuous hugging." Happy readin...
Harold Reynolds Is Taking ESPN's Ass To Court
We know we're supposed to be taking the day off, but, sorry: This is too beautiful to comprehend resisting....
The Extremely Serious Flag Football Team
Everybody has a great "Rec league opponent who takes the game WAY too seriously" story unless, of course, you are that rec league opponent who takes the game way too seriously, in which case, we're sorry, we'll try harder, we need to focus, yeah, you were open on that play, we know....
That'll Be All, Bill
You know, it's funny: The Dallas Cowboys' season appears to be disintegrating, and even though Terrell Owens had to go so far as to try to kill himself to derail the team, he seems to be the least of their problems....
Your Friday Cross Dressing/She-Male Roundup
If you know us, you're familiar with our usual gripe: It's getting so that you can't stage a simple dragon-boat racing competition these days without someone breaking the rules by cross dressing. From Reuters:...
Oh, It Never Rains In Southern California
"All right Chief, you're our last chance." That's Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, in which his character, Randall McMurphy, tries to urge a fellow insane asylum inmate to cast the deciding vote so that the ward can watch the Dodgers-Yankees World Series game on TV. That bid failed....
Live Playoff Blog: Padres Vs. Cardinals, Game 2
All right, so after doing this live blog of a Cardinals game thing on Tuesday, it's pretty clear now that our hearts can't take it. It's difficult enough for us to survive watching these games; we can't actually be expected to type about them. Therefore, we're handing over the live-blogging chores t...
The Day After For The 0-1 Teams
One of the joys of writing about sports on the Web is how every day is a little more important than it would be if glimpsed from a wider perspective. Fortunately, during the baseball postseason, there is no wider perspective: Everything matters in every possible moment. (If you don't believe us, ask...
Live Playoff Blog: Padres Vs. Cardinals, Game 1
You know, it's absolutely perverse that we are expected to sit here and live-blog a Cardinals playoff game. How, exactly, does one spell a primal scream of pain? Last year, during the NLCS, we realized that we were literally running back and forth, stomping our feet, howling at the television screen...
Playoffs Pants Party: Padres Vs. Cardinals
We know there's absolutely no reason to believe the Cardinals belong here, and we know that the Red Sox, the Phillies and the Angels — teams that weren't particularly close to making the playoffs — all had better records. That doesn't mean we still can't be happier the Cardinals are here. October ...
Where My Team Stands: San Diego Padres
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....
The Closer: And Now, Put Your Hands Together For Brother Sledge
Notes from a day in baseball:...
Reynolds Says He Sees, Hears, Hugs, Knows Nothing
So, we haven't heard from good ole Harold Reynolds in a while. What's he been up to? Well, according to an interview he gave with XM Radio's Charlie Steiner — speaking of people we haven't heard from in a while — he's been waiting for an upcoming meeting with ESPN at the end of the month. (Thanks to...
Mark Cuban Explains It All
Why can't the U.S. basketball team seem to win in international competition anymore? Leave it to Mark Cuban to unravel this mystery. It may shock you to learn that Cuban lays the blame directly on those damn pyramid-shaped lanes. Oh, and the international ball. And the way the referees are dressed. ...
The End For Andre Agassi
As the match was being played and it became evident that Andre Agassi didn't have the legs or the back to take down Benjamin Becker, I couldn't help but think it shouldn't end this way. It should've ended in either a championship, or in front of am unsilencable primetime crowd in a 5-set marathon...
Image Is Everything To James Blake
When I was a young tike, I thought Andre Agassi's flourescents were about the coolest thing in the world. Much of my self-esteem was derived from owning a pair of the shoes pictured at the bottom of this poster, even if I couldn't get them until long after they were considered cool. Okay, I'm wea...
