Kid Throws No-Hitter In Little League WS, But Loses Anyway
I'm wholly in favor of anything that humiliates children. Kids today need as much character as they can get in this bubble-wrapped nation of ours. And nothing builds character like getting one's prepubescent heart ripped out on national television. Just ask Jeffersonville, Indiana's Drew Ellis, who ...
Fresno State Needs More Skullet Power
We always forget how much we enjoy the College World Series. It seems to come along at just the right time; the sports world prepares to settle in for a long summer of low-stakes baseball (with the Olympics tossed in this year, just to keep us awake), so having a tournament in which everyone's play...
Lots Of Charming People At The WSOP
So hey, did you know the World Series of Poker was going on right now? Yeah, we didn't either: We kind of forgot they still played it. It's amazing what can happen when ESPN loses its taste for something around the time they start making Burt Reynolds movies about it....
The Patriots High School Cheerleader Baffles Those Wanting To Accurately Leer
From the booby-centric miscreants over at Busted Coverage comes another time-wasting exercise that guarantees you will spend an unhealthy amount of time anaylzing teenage girls on the internet. The New England Patriots announced their 2008 cheerleading squad and one of the newest members is curren...
Tragedy In The Big D
The birthday party for the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys was celebrated the last night at a Dallas night club where he was joined by friends and family members. Tensions ran high for a little bit when an unexpected guest dropped by and moved through the throngs of people toward the guest of hon...
Did The Cubs Throw The 1918 World Series?
So get this: the Sporting News claims to have unearthed evidence that the Chicago Cubs may have taken a dive in the 1918 World Series, one year before the Chicago White Sox made the practice fashionable. Yes, instead of 100 years of frustration, the Cubs could be on the verge of a mere 90-year futil...

For Those Who Can't Handle The Sheer Intensity Of Cards On TV
There was this couple-of-month stretch when poker on TV was actually sort of cool, right before the world discovered the ancient game of Bejeweled. But now poker needs a renaissance. It needs a voice. It needs — you guessed it — radio coverage....
Tomorrow Night, We Join The Varsity Letters Crew
So, it's now January 2008, and you know what that means: It's time to unleash self-deprecating but subtly (?) self-aggrandizing posts reminding you we have a book coming out in exactly 20 days. And tomorrow night, we'll be reading from it....

Whatever Choice Was Made, It Was Going To Be Wrong
We enjoy this picture of Georgia center Fernando Velasco, taken after the Bulldogs' win over Georgia Tech Saturday, because he is holding an orange. Presumably, a fan through him — and some other Bulldogs — an orange to symbolize the Orange Bowl. This is odd not because Georgia is not going to the O...
Here We Go Again With The Damned Red Sox World Series Ball
Oh, you've got to be kidding ... are we going to have another stupid controversy about who has the baseball the Red Sox won the World Series with? Please, no....

Papelbon's Glove Has Yet To Come Down
• Feel It Again. And howzabout a little love for Terry Francona. I've happily lobbed hot coals at the guy's nuts for four seasons now, but I appreciate everything he's done to steer the ship and stick to the game plan. He's 8-0 in managing World Series games, has very likely seen DeMarlo Hale withou...
