Member Of Prestigious Golf Club Scolds Others For Pissing On The Greens, Cavorting In The Nude, Picking Up A Golf Ball With "Naked Butt Cheeks," And Much More
Piedmont Driving Club is synonymous with one word: prestige. Well, as of a few minutes ago it was, anyway. Recently, one aggrieved member wrote a letter to the club's president, John R. Holder, detailing the predominantly naked and drunken tomfoolery at a members golf tournament. You can find that l...
Ken "Hawk" Harrelson Melts Down After White Sox Pitcher Ejected For Throwing Behind A Batter
This week's Rays-White Sox series in St. Petersburg has been contentious after Chicago catcher A.J. Pierzynski's suspicious slide yesterday led to him being plunked by Rays pitcher Alex Cobb today.

This Is The Porn Movie Filmed On-Field At The L.A. Coliseum [SFW]
The Los Angeles Times reported this morning on a porn film released 10 years ago that was filmed at the L.A. Coliseum on an off-week between USC football games.

It's 2012, And Michael Jordan Has Found Another Way To Humiliate Patrick Ewing
Patrick Ewing's career can only be defined by his failures at the hands of Michael Jordan.

Mario Balotelli Does Thing

U.S. Gymnastics Turns Its Back On Chellsie Memmel, Genuine Badass
At the 2006 world championships, Chellsie Memmel botched a release during her uneven-bars routine and tore her labrum. This was more or less the beginning of a prolonged shoulder nightmare that would culminate this weekend in the cold-eyed rejection of her bid to compete in the national championship...
Vin Scully Can Even Make Bobbleheads Seem Cool Again
Major League Baseball's enduring fascination with bobbleheads is, by and large, played out by now, but we'll grant an exception for this August 30, when the Dodgers hold their first-ever Vin Scully Bobblehead Night and give away this reasonable likeness of the Hall of Fame announcer, now in his 63rd...

Why Did Terrell Owens <i>Really</i> Get Cut By His Indoor Football Team?
Yes, yes, it's fun to believe, and goes perfectly with every T.O. stereotype we have, that Terrell Owens was released by the Allen (Texas) Wranglers because he's just too much of a diva. And it's probably true—Owens is kind of a selfish jerk who was dicking around in the IFL for some quick cash and ...
Japan Is Still Nutso About Hideki Matsui
This is the pregame media scrum around Hideki Matsui, who was called up from Triple-A and will make his Rays debut in St. Petersburg tonight.

In Most Annoying Twitter Fight Ever, Rick Reilly Defends George Will From Donald Trump
Donald Trump, when he's not questioning Barack Obama's citizenship or trying to revive his years-old slap-fight with Rosie O'Donnell, sometimes says funny things on Twitter. Not "ha-ha" funny things, but "your weird uncle walking around with his robe open at Thanksgiving" funny things....
Jim Leyland Was Righteously Pissed At Some Terrible Umpiring
In the second inning of yesterday's matinee in Boston, Mike Aviles struck out. Well, he should have struck out. He swung and missed and everything. But the home plate umpire ruled that catcher Gerald Laird had short-hopped the catch, and on his second try, Aviles stroked an RBI single. It would lead...

"Some People Have To Be Protected Against Themselves": Hockey League Pleads With Players To Stop Boozing During Games
Today's overwrought rec league email carries a tinge of desperation.

This is it: the polls are officially open for voting in the Republican primary for Texas's vacant Senate seat.
