A-Rod Talks Wistfully Of The Mets (Really)
The timing could have been better for Alex Rodriguez, who sat down for a soul-searching interview with the New York Daily News on the same day that Jose Canseco was touting a new book, claiming that A-Rod took steroids. That publicity could have been used for damage control! At any rate, A-Rod tells...
A-Rod Comments On Canseco's Book "Revelation"
Well, that didn't take long: Just five hours after our post on writer Joe Lavin's early purchase of Jose Canseco's new book, which, according to Lavin, claims that Canseco introduced A-Rod to a steroid supplier, A-Rod has responded with characteristic stoicism....

Could This Be The End For Our Isiah Hero?
Ladies and gentlehumans, the day of reckoning is almost upon us, and it's a sad concept to behold. Yes, it's beginning to look like it is, in fact, possible for Isiah Thomas to be fired as coach of the Knicks. We know: We also dreamed this could last forever. You don't know what you got ......
Your AL East "Preview"
The baseball season officially kicks off tomorrow, though no one will really think of baseball as happening until next Monday. (Or maybe that Braves-Nationals game on Sunday night.)

Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer... Then Shred It
Be it in practice, on film, inside another man's house, or at an NIT basketball game, Bill Belichick can't help but take notice of some untapped potential. TMZ brings us this transcendent image from Florida's victory in the NIT last night. Clearly Nick Calathes' triple double wasn't the only to imp...
Things That Draw In Denver When Attendance Is Dead
As you may or may not know (probably the latter) the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche aren't doing so well from a financial standpoint. Hell, the Broncos have already begun downsizing. For some reason the city of Denver isn't stuffing enough cash into the coffers of their pro franchises. Of cou...
A Rather Shining Moment In The First Round
• Eliot Spitzer and David Hirshey, soccer pals. • Our new "pal," Bob Costas. • Apparently, some folks aren't happy with ESPN. • Kige Ramsey, charity hero. (Oh, and no bids yet.) • Mark Cuban remains the only blogger allowed in the Mavs' locker room. • Hey, the brackets came out. • We had a few game...
Woody Allen Explains How Baseball Gloves Are Made
If you enjoy hearing kids repeat the word "leather" over and over (vaguely creepy), seeing Jonathan Winters in a Reds' uniform (like Frank TV, only funny), or listen to Woody Allen explain how to play second base, then you'll enjoy this old episode of Hot Dog; a Saturday morning kids' show from the ...

ESPN Has An Northeast Coast Bias? What?
OK, I suppose one could say that we've been guilty of trotting out more than a fair share of Yankees, Mets and Red Sox posts over any given season (although we also have some Rick Ankiel and Barry Bonds posts we'd like you to meet). But ESPN takes its Northeast favoritism to an entire new level (lik...
