Robinson Boozes It Up At The Wrong Time. Again
We aren't one to talk about public drunkeness, but we still feel obliged to point out that when former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Koren Robinson decided to show up at his one-day jail sentence for a DUI conviction, well, he probably shouldn't have been drunk. Just a thought. The good news: Bei...
Players Just Don't Care About Their Balls Anymore
We may have mentioned this before, but back when we were young, untalented, jittery baseball players, we refused to wear a cup.

Scrappy Podsednik Upgrading In Lady Department
We've always liked Chicago White Sox outfielder Scott Podsednik.

But we always liked his understatedness the most: Nothing flashy, ...

Controversy in Boston is nothing new, even when the Red Sox are coming off a World Series win.

We Can't Imagine What She Might Have Been Upset About
It appears O.J. Simpson spent his Independence Day getting beaten up by his ex-girlfriend. (You read that right: O.J. Simpson has had many girlfriends since 1994. That's a pretty lousy background check, if you ask us.) The woman, Christine Prody (who once told the National Enquirer that OJ confess...

Indians Gay Porn Reliever Sent Down (Again)
A sad day in Cleveland: reliever Kazahito Tadano has been sent down to the minor leagues. Who's Tadano, you ask? Oh, how quickly you forget: Tadano is the Japanese player who had to apologize to his Indians teammates for making a gay porn film back in Japan. (That's him in the screen shot above....

David Beckham No Longer Fantasized About In Prison
Apparently, athlete culture's a little different in England than it is here.

Kutcher, Iverson and T.O All Punk Each Other And Smile
Remember the story of Ashton Kutcher punking Alex Rodriguez? Essentially, Kutcher and his "Punk'd" buddies pulled a prank on A-Rod where they had a Red Sox fan get all belligerant with him. Supposedly — Rodriguez refused to sign the waiver for the footage to be shown — A-Rod freaked out and becam...
The Continued Annoyance Of Smart People
What is it about boxing that makes academic and political types all weak in the knees? We think it's because you have to, you know, be a man to be a boxer. Overeducated wonks envy boxing because they work their way up the chain through their pals, their daddies, their fraternity brothers. The man-...

When A Fine Isn't Really A Fine At All
