The 2011 MLB Rookie Hazing Costume Collection
Forcing rookies to dress in costume is an MLB tradition that's as childish as it is time-honored. A gloriously dumb reminder that most baseball players are manchildren, forever stuck in high school. We are too; it's a major reason baseball players are perhaps easier to connect with than athletes in ...
The Russian Backwater Samuel Eto'o Now Plays Soccer In Is Too Dangerous For Samuel Eto'o To Live In
Last month, Samuel Eto'o did something very curious and very venal and signed with Anzhi, an obscure team in Russia owned by a rich oil man. Eto'o became the highest paid soccer player in the world ($30 million over three years). But he also has to lace up his boots for Anzhi, which plays in a city ...

Jonathan Toews Went To A Hockey Camp And Checked A Child To The Ice (Video)
What happens here is clearly an accidental collision involving Jonathan Toews, the Chicago Blackhawks' captain. But it's hard to tell what's worse: The faint, cringe-inducing wail of the child Toews inadvertently knocks over, or the complete indifference to the youngster shown by Lance Brown of CT...
How Did Tony La Russa Cost The Cardinals The Game This Time?
A masterpiece of overmanaging in the bottom of the eighth, with two position changes, three pitching changes and an intentional walk that would come around to score the winning run. David Schoenfield has more, but the bottom line is that John Mozeliak should probably decline the option to expand the...
Tom Brady Doesn't Need Wide Receivers To Pass For Hundreds Of Yards
Tom Brady and the New England offense destroyed fantasy football dreams across the nation last night.

Cowboys Fan Didn't Just Taser A Jets Fan; He Tasered A Marine On 9/11
The Cowboys still fancy themselves "America's Team," but there are very little in the way of patriotism requirements to root for them.

The NBA Fines Michael Jordan $100,000 For Saying The Most Inoffensive Things Ever
The first rule of the NBA lockout is that you do not talk about the NBA lockout during the NBA lockout. Even if you're Michael Jordan and you're babbling listless crap to a newspaper in Australia. Because then the NBA will get mad and fine you a month later....
Celebrating Serena Williams, Tennis Traditionalist
Serena Williams revived an old tradition in tennis in Flushing last night. She said some petty things to the chair umpire because she was angry and because she wanted to win—and because when you are not winning in a sport as lonely as tennis, there is only one person you can blame that is not yourse...
