What Is This Slumbering, Slobbery Beast Asleep On The Floor?
It's a Mike Golic. The "Mike and Mike" show now has its own website and is running daily photo caption contests for their listeners and ESPN readers. (No Facebook direct connectedness is available. Yet.) The comments have so far been predictably ESPN commenter-like. Observe:...
Fascinating Things You Probably Don't Want to Know: Skip Bayless Is Ripped
Skip Bayless is easy to despise for many reasons, most of which stem from the fact that he walked away from a very encouraging career as a print journalist for a new, more lucrative one as...whatever he does by senselessly arguing on "First Take." But would it make him more or less tolerable if you ...
Jeff Garcia Awaits Your Scrutiny In The Comments
I've been a fan of Jeff Garcia since his little 2006 playoff run with the Eagles and will continue to be one until he finally, mercifully retires. He's not the flashiest guy, wasn't blessed with a big arm, and is particularly unimposing when he's photographed in black and white with freckle-splashed...
Clinton Portis Can Carry The Load, But Can He Carry His Team To The Playoffs?
The Ravens are coming off of a huge win against Philadelphia and a romp against divisional glory hole, Cincinnati, and they're only a game out of their division lead.

Oklahoma Controls Its Own Destiny...And Pretty Much Everyone Elses'
Missouri was a sexy team this time last year, poised to shock the college football world and play for a national championship, and then it shit the bed against Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship.

Free Darko Stutter-Steps The Universe, Don't You Know?
Shame on me. I have neglected to plug Free Darko's "The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats, and Stars in Today's Game.."

So the nominees for Playboy's 2009 Sexiest Sportscaster have been unveiled — 30 in all — and besides the usual suspects (Andrews, Lindsay Soto, Krista Voda), there are quite a few additions this year.

Will Anyone Be Able To Keep America's Sideline Princess from Being a Two-Time Champion?
So, tomorrow at some point, Playboy will supposedly announce who this year's contestants for their 2009 Sexiest Sportscaster of the year award. Last year's winner, of course, was Ms. Andrews who was still in the middle stages of Erin Andrewsness. Could her popularity hurt her chances this year? It m...
Michael Phelps' Funky Face Is SI's Sportsman of Year
In case you haven't heard, Olympic water boy Michael Phelps is SI's "Sportsman of the Year" this year, for his astounding 8 gold medals in Beijing. It's not a surprise pick, really, leaving most of the scrutiny for Phelps' spooky-ass Terri Schiavo face currently seen in the online version. According...
Baby Mangino May Be An Unstoppable Force
If you haven't seen the current results of the SHOTY voting so far, it appears that the cherubic, fake-mustachioed visage of bouncy Baby Mangino will be tough to beat in this year's field. He's currently waxing Brett Favre with 86% of the vote. Even though Favre's tumultuous year has made him a legi...
Is This A Trick Question?
Thanks to reader Pete for the ESPN screen cap - you just made Rick Chandler's day. Yes, it's been quite a weekend for Plaxico Burress.

Wherein We Probe the Phelps Phenomenon on DUAN
So Michael Phelps has chosen the Vegas nightclub worker and oft-naked Caroline Pal (the one on the right) to take home to mother after two months of dating. (The link will take you to proof of the oft-naked part if nothing else.) We don't have to imagine Mom's surprise face; we saw it eight times or...

Phil Savage Didn't Help His Employment Situation With E-mail
Browns' owner Randy Lerner spoke out about the job security of coach Romeo Crennel and GM Phil Savage in a rare interview today and gave a little bit of a glimpse into what he's looking for leadership-wise for the Browns in 2009. Obviously, he didn't give his current coach or GM a ringing endorsemen...
