We Enjoyed Fenway Park Almost As Much As Brendan Ryan
We know that Bostonians take a lot of heat around these parts — or pretty much anywhere in the world of sport these days — and we suspect they can take it; multiple championships will serve as balm to just about any wound. (Other, than, you know, maybe a gunshot.) But we're gonna compliment them any...

Spain vs. Italy: Extra Time
We're back live after a short intermission before the beginning of extra time. We're in for another thirty minutes of this, so get comfortable.

Spain vs. Italy: Second Half
Holy crap, that first half was painful to watch. Sure I may not be a fan of Italy to begin with, but the flops and questionable challenges are sucking the quality right out of the game. To their credit they play stifling defense, but it's not exactly fan-friendly. Hopefully the second half will open...

C.C. Is Not A Singles Hitter
After a rough start to the season Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia has found his groove on the mound, and now at the plate as well. The rotund power pitcher didn't like his teammates calling him a singles hitter after last year's round of interleague play, so he stepped into the box in his first at bat of ...

Why Didn't Anyone Try This On Donaghy?
The New Castle County soccer league of Delaware might not be home to the kind of grace and skill we've seen from Euro 2008, but their games sure as hell sound entertaining. Ranord A. "Not Pacman" Jones disagreed with a referee's call, so the player reacted as any of us would, by taking a chunk out ...

A Thoughtful, Critical Analysis On Jiggling Breasts And Overeating
