Apparently, Stephen A. Smith Is Black
We usually try here to avoid the rantings of fundamentalist Christian stick-in-mud New York Post media columnist Phil Mushnick. He seems to be living in a world that's different than ours, one where all television executives are apparently closet kiddie porn enthusiasts. But we couldn't help but n...

Stephen A. Smith Ready For His Extreme Closeup
Well, last night was the premiere of ESPN amplified irritant Stephen A. Smith's new show "Quite Frankly." We're sad to say that we watched it, though, considering we live about three blocks from where they film the show, we pretty much could have heard him yelling just by opening our window....
Stephen A. Smith's Big Night

Some ESPN People Aren't <em>That</em> Horrible
We rip on ESPN a lot here, so we feel like we should point out that some people actually like a few of the anchors over there. Some radio DJ has compiled a list of the "personalities" he actually doesn't hate. Included are Scott Van Pelt, Dan Patrick and (cough) Mel Kiper, Jr. The Sporting Fools c...

It's Slap Joe Theismann Day!
Yesterday, ESPN announced that its "Monday Night Football" team for 2006 will have Al Michaels and Joe Theismann in the booth. Michaels was a given, but the analyst job was up in the air. And it would be fair to say that Theismann who has a tendency to do to football analysis what Lawrence Taylor ...

Page 3: Not Much Time Left Now
The impending death of Page 3 is not something from which we take much enjoyment. The closings of sites tend to make people lose their jobs, and even though the full-time staff at Page 3 is, at tops, one (and that's probably being optimistic). But still: The death bell be just about to be rung-ded...
