ESPN Now Doing To NASCAR What It Does To Everything Else
This Friday, the much-hyped — so unusual for them — NASCAR On ESPN series kicks off. We're not inherent NASCAR fans, so we're not sure how the light, delicate ESPN is going to affect the sport's hardcore fans. But it's safe to say those fans are a little nervous....
When An Old Athlete Is Put Out To Stud
Nothing in sports makes us feel older than when an athlete retires; often, we remember when they first came into the league, and realize that an entire career has passed while we slowly lurched closer to death. It's an uplifting feeling....

We're excited to be heading to Safeco Field this September, and not just because of the Mariners, U-Dub and Seahawks games; apparently, the Safeco Field stands are going the way of the house call....
Smile, And Say "Go Team"
If you haven't had the opportunity yet to check out The Smoking Gun's new gallery, which features the best mug shots of people wearing their favorite sports team's jerseys, we can't recommend it enough. (Via CourtTV.) We can't quite tell what this guy's jersey is: Purdue?...
The Anonymous U.
• No more names on the back of Canes jerseys. [Just Call Me Juice] • Tedy Bruschi is just fine, people. [The Lefty] • How Tim Donaghy changes how we watch games.

NFL Season Preview: Carolina Panthers
Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, running one every weekday, we have to start this week. So there you have it....
Will Everyone Be Out To Get Vick?
Our man Mr. Mexico might never make it back on an NFL field again, but if he does, he might find that he needs to be extra elusive. Not only are opposing dog-loving players going to be digging in to knock the guy into the nearest kennel, but even his own teammates might not have his back....
Ikea Loveseats Are Bulky And Difficult To Move
I was perusing Sports by Brooks late last night, as is my wont, and came across this item: "The NEW YORK TIMES reports EA Sports will provide new President Peter Moore with "relocation-related expenses" from Redmond, Washington, to Redwood City, California. The move will cost the company $330,000. M...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 2 p.m. Baseball America's Jim Callis: Hey, why is Selig following me around? I haven't hit any home runs. • 4 p.m. ArenaBowl XXI w/Gary Horton: Your use of roman numerals for this is IX kinds of stupid. • 6 p.m. Beyond 756 w/Amy Nelson...
Another Perfect Moment Spoiled By Assheads
Like many of you, our favorite moment from last year's college football season was the thrilling Fiesta Bowl, in which Boise State beat Oklahoma with the Statue of Liberty play and running back Ian Johnson proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend after scoring the winning points. It was one of those s...
"Interiors Kicks Radio Days' Ass!"
Forgive us, since this post is entirely self-indulgent and has absolutely nothing to do with sports, but when two inmates get in a fight over Woody Allen, well, we just couldn't sleep at night if we didn't write about it....
Charlie Weis, Unsuccessful In Obese Litigation
Say what you will about Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, but you can't say he isn't constantly charging forward. Whether it's recruiting, attacking a Cover 2 or, you know, gastric bypass surgery, the guy makes up his mind and just GOES FOR IT, MAN. Suck Off The Fat Like A Champion. Unfortunately, such...
Leinart's Life Turning Into Slightly More Boring Episode Of "Maury"
Matt Leinart would like you to know: His baby momma be buggin'. Ahem. That is to say: He respectfully disagrees with Brynn Cameron's assessment that he's never around as a father. Actually, not all that respectfully....
Dice-K And The Red Sox: Part Of This Complete Breakfast
The resignation on Bud Selig's face, and the fact that he's packed his giant swimming trunks, must mean that he's given in and will follow Barry Bonds around for a month or so until Hank's record is broken. So with that crisis solved, we can turn our attention to happier things ... super, terrific f...
