Tracy Porter Had A Seizure In August, Missed Denver's Last Game Because Doctors Were Afraid He Was Going To Have Another
Porter was listed as out for the Broncos last Monday, Denver's big comeback win over San Diego. The injury report simply chalked it up to "illness," and no one asked too many questions, because hey, people get sick. But Porter revealed today that it was something potentially much more serious, and, ...

Steve Francis Is Being Sued For $9,000 In Missed Payments On A 1964 Ford Thunderbird
We haven't heard from Steve Francis in a while. Last we checked in, he was being welcomed like a king in China—then left his team after playing less than 14 minutes. Seems he's living back in Houston (in a pretty nice house, so don't worry about Stevie), and buying classic cars, and, allegedly, not ...

Greg LeMond Calls For Cycling's Leaders To Step Down
Greg LeMond—America's only Tour De France winner—has been outspoken about cycling's problems, before, during and after the downfall of Lance Armstrong. But his scorn has been reserved not for Armstrong or the cyclists who dope, but with the people running the whole shebang: the heads of the Internat...
The Islanders Are Leaving Their Crappy Arena For A Crappy Hockey Arena
Yesterday the New York Islanders announced they'd be leaving their soulless, ancient, crumbling box in Uniondale in favor of Brooklyn's new (if rusty) Barclays Center when their lease expires in 2015. Judging by the Nassau Coliseum's Yelp reviews, no one is really going to miss it:...

Dale Murphy Saw Pablo Sandoval's Homers Last Night And Wished He Had Been Fat When He Played
The pudgy Pablo Sandoval spanked lean, mean Justin Verlander during Game 1 of the World Series last night. Fat Ichiro—that's one of his nicknames—hit three home runs. This was improbable. Sandoval hit only 12 all season. Verlander allowed only 19 all year. But Fat Ichiro can do that to you....

Canada's Best Hockey Broadcaster Is Building A Lake Cabin With His Bare Hands, Just Waiting For A Call
There's no hockey, as you may have heard. This means NBC's Doc Emrick, one of our favorites, is calling figure skating for the peacock network. But what about Jim Hughson of the CBC? Hughson—whose best Roberto-Luongo-specific calls you can hear above—is another one of our favorites. Unlike Emrick,...
The Dodgers Might Open The 2014 Season In Australia
Australia, while not on the level of Japan, does love it some baseball. The history of the sport there dates back to the 1850s, and the domestic Australian Baseball League is profitable for the first time ever—thanks in part to funding from MLB. The ABL is increasingly becoming a legitimate winter l...

That Damn Marlins Fan Was Behind The Plate Again Last Night At The World Series
Perhaps you noticed a douchey-looking gent behind home plate during NLCS Game 7, wearing a bright orange Marlins jersey and Marlins visor worn sideways. If not, you definitely saw him in the same seat tonight, still wearing the Marlins shirt though in a panda hat (that he later changed to a differe...
The Hilarious Greatness Of Pablo Sandoval, As Glimpsed In Three Swings That Shouldn't Have Been
A 95 mph chest-high fastball. Another 95 mph fastball, this one at the knees on the outside corner of the plate. A tumbling breaking ball headed for the dirt. These are the three pitches that Pablo Sandoval hit out of the park last night. It's very likely that no other player in baseball would've hi...
