The Brewers Are Still Depressed About The Greinke Trade And It's Bumming Everyone Else Out, Too
So this is a weird little technical issue that turned the Nationals-Brewers game on MASN2 HD into Dances With Wolves in space, on a baseball diamond. The issue briefly occurred in the fourth inning before MASN fixed the glitch. [National's Enquirer]...
Men's Gymnastics Preliminaries: U.S. Wins, Britain Has Best Hair, None Of It Really Counts
Michael Phelps wasn't the only athlete to prove he was a mere human today.

This Is The Worst National Anthem Rendition Ever

NASCAR Announcer Cannot Remember His Broadcast Partner's Name
Everything about this is just a mess. ESPN NASCAR announcer Marty Reid has an absolute brain fart on air when introducing his booth-mates before throwing in the towel.

John Daly Hits Tee Shot Off David Feherty's Face
David Feherty, golf's resident wackadoo, has a show on Golf Channel. This week Feherty welcomes John Daly for the season finale. To celebrate Daly's continuing ability to still be alive, Feherty allowed him to hit a driver off his face. At least this worked out better than that beer can stunt....
Hope Solo Slams Brandi Chastain For Disparaging Remarks
Brandi Chastain had some words for the U.S. Women's soccer team that did not sit well with goal keeper Hope Solo. Chastain criticized defender Rachel Buehler for giving the ball away, noting it was something Buehler would have to work on. Not too incendiary, but following the women's 3-0 victory o...

What Are The Jingoists Saying Today: Italy Wins Gold Over USA Archery On Final Shot Bullseye
The Italians just won gold in Archery on a last-shot dagger of a bullseye. It made for an intense and entertaining watch, however bittersweet it may be to come in second.

Mystery Woman Horning In On Opening Ceremony March Pisses Off Most Of India

Michael Phelps, America's Laziest Olympian, Barely Qualifies For Tonight's 400 Individual Medley
We were this close (seven-hundredths of a second-close) to missing a Phelps-Lochte face-off. This guy just can't get motivated. After deciding to saunter his way through the London Olympics, participating in only seven events and not the eight he dominated in Beijing, Phelps almost wound up competi...
Here's The Opening Ceremony Tribute To Terrorism Victims NBC Doesn't Want You To See

Last Night Matt Harvey Saved The Mets' Life
Unless you live in the right parts of the country, there's a moment every summer when you realize that your baseball team won't be playing in October. For a downtrodden half of New York, that moment more or less arrived within the last two weeks: the Mets entered last night 1-11 since the all-star b...
Zack Greinke Has Been Traded To The Angels
MLB just announced the deal, and Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi are saying the Angels are sending shortstop Jean Segura and two minor leaguers to Milwaukee. Safe to say the Brewers have given up on 2012, and the AL West race is going to be completely insane....
