Exclusive New England Patriots Spy Video
Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to leave Bill Belichick alone. ("He's a human being!") But I couldn't resist posting this exclusive video footage that shows just how those sneaky Pats managed to cheat against the Jets. I mean, Madden? Who would've thunk it?...
New Power Generation
If only he had hit a 'Glam Slam' ... Prince Fielder's NL-leading and franchise record 46th homerun gave the Brewers an edge as Milwaukee beat Cincinnati, 5-3, to gain some ground in NL Central race. Milwaukee sits a game behind the Cubs, who split two against the Cardinals....
Honey, I Shrunk The AL East Lead
Here we go again ... The Yankees honey mustered six runs in the eighth, immediately erasing a five-run deficit, en route to an 8-7 victory over the Sox at Fenway.

Chairman Belichick's Revenge
Last month, Eric Gillin, editor of Esquire.com and a founding editor of The Black Table, previewed the New England Patriots by comparing them to Communist China.

Bill Belichick Is Very, Very Sorry. Just Kidding ... He Couldn't Care Less
Yes, it's the man whom you never thought you'd see leading off Who's Sorry Now, because he never apologizes for anything ... Mr. Bill Belichick. The New England Patriots coach issued a one-paragraph statement 10 minutes before his regular press conference on Wednesday, concerning the Beligate videot...
Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life
We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with p...
Isiah Thomas Is Smooth With His Corporate Sponsors
If you haven't been paying attention — and we briefly looked away ourselves — the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment trial is already far more fun than it has any right to be. Yesterday, Anucha Browne Sanders testified about some disagreements she had with Isiah. She had a lot to say, but not nearly as ...
Will This Be Belichick's Watergate?
So you suppose the question now is: What did Bill Belichick know, and when did he know it?

Ther...
