Javon Walker's Reckless Champagne Spraying Habits May Have Led To His Cold-Cocking, Some Say
TMZ is now running photos of Walker seemingly in the middle of his $15,000 champagne splashdown party, and the site also suggests that he may have doused the wrong patron with his pink bubbly, which, as we all know, is an offense that may result in an overnight hospital stay with an orbital fracture...
Drew Brees Will Take You Deep
Just to prove how random God's sense of humor really is, Ken Oberkfell's last official act as manager of the New Orleans Zephyrs on Monday was to throw batting practice to Saints' quarterbacks Drew Brees and Mark Brunell. Oberkfell, who has managed the Class AAA Pacific Coast League team for five se...
Lots Of Charming People At The WSOP
So hey, did you know the World Series of Poker was going on right now? Yeah, we didn't either: We kind of forgot they still played it. It's amazing what can happen when ESPN loses its taste for something around the time they start making Burt Reynolds movies about it....
The Des Moines Register Is Finally Understanding The Interweb
On Saturday, thanks to the awful flooding of Iowa, the Iowa Cubs played in front of zero fans in a 5-4 win over Nashville. The flooding has killed five, displaced thousands from their homes and caused millions of dollars in damage. Therefore, Black Heart Gold Pants, an Iowa football blog, posted a ...
Trouble-Finding Javon Walker Hospitalized After Vegas Beating, Robbery
Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wideout Javon Walker seemed to be having a festive weekend until Monday morning. The Las Vegas Journal's one-eyed gossip dog, Norm!, spotted him at Tryst nightclub Saturday night "spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered...
Petey P. Cup Has A New Sidekick! (Yikes)
I imagine that in Barry Bonds' fevered dreams — when he sleeps at all — this is pretty much all he sees. We've told you about Petey P. Cup, the urine sample mascot for HealthPartners.com. But now meet his new sidekick, Pokey Syringe. Together they fight crime crusade for gay rights terrorize prostit...
Is Boston Ready To Host A Championship Celebration?
As mentioned last week, the Leitch family is heading to Fenway Park this Saturday — tentative pitching matchup: Josh Beckett vs. Mitchell Boggs. You're toast, Sox! — and we are hopeful that the Yawkey Way faithful will show us the appropriate respect. That is to say: We hope they won't throw anythi...
Becky Hammon Not Going To Be The Most Popular Gal At The V.F.W
Becky Hammon's decision to play for the Russian national team in the 2008 Olympics has stirred up all sorts of Cold War emotions in Americans, yet once U.S. coach Anne Donovan calls you a "traitor" for your decision, well, it's a Rocky IV mindset all over again....
Maximizing Your Collegiate Experience
It might be hard to remember, but the University of Arizona was once home to a highly respected college basketball program. The 2002-2003 season in particular featured a tremendous team, including players like Andre "Iggy" Iguodala, Channing "Ham Sandwich" Frye, Will "Thrill" Bynum, Luke "Lookout" W...
The Most Disappointing Tiger Woods Victory In History
The seventh hole of Torrey Pines decided the fate of Rocco Mediate. Rocco said before the hole, "They wanted a show, they got a show." Indeed. It seemed before today's round, most of the experts were giving Rocco about as much a shot at beating Tiger as Matt Lauer. He proved everybody wrong....
After 18 Holes, It's Now Sudden Death At The U.S. Open
"You are watching one of the greatest U.S. Open championships in history..."...
Barbados World Cup Dreams Go Down Hard
Well, that went about as expected, considering that Sussman is their starting goalie. Barbados lost to the U.S. 8-0 on Sunday in a World Cup qualifier, as you can see in the above video highlights, which are nearly as long as the match itself. Watch closely, because I'm pretty sure we scored two goa...
Goodnight, Baseball Hall Of Fame Game
It's a sad day, folks: Today marks the last ever Hall of Fame game in Cooperstown, N.Y. As much fun as it might have been, it does seem like a pain for players, to go all the way to Cooperstown in the middle of the season for an exhibition game, though we do hope it throws the Cubs (who are playing...
You Are Missing Some Serious, Serious Golf Drama
Rocco Mediate somehow managed to overcome a seemingly impossible three-stroke deficit on Tiger. Then it was two. Then it was one. Then... it was tied....
Rocco Cuts Into Lead, Still Nobody Seems To Think He Has Any Shot
As they approached the 12th hole at Torrey Pines, Johnny Miller and Dan Hicks appeared down on Rocco's chances. He'd lost a shot on ten, gained it back on 11, but, still, seems completely out of this thing down by two shots with six to go against Tiger....
You, Too, Could Kick In The Arena League
Who says the Arena Football League isn't fan-friendly? Before the Chicago Rush's game this weekend, kicker Paul Edinger — so THAT'S where he is! — tweaked his groin, which is never good. The Rush had no extra kickers ... so they held an open call for fans....
Tiger Up By Two, Rocco Swats At Imaginary Vultures Circling Him
Broadcast switch. ESPN retires its coverage for the day and turns it over to Bob Costas at NBC who sounds very, very serious, saying that "Rocco Mediate's Cinderella story is in jeopardy." He's speaking in hushed tones, like he's in a confessional or explaining death to a small child. He has not cal...
Griffey May Be Headed To The Unlikliest Of Places
Ken Griffey Jr. is considering waiving his no-trade clause to move over to the Tampa Bay Rays, according to SI.com, and you know what that means: An aging-slugger arms race in the AL East. Tampa Bay's show of force will have to be met in kind by the Yankees, who of course will sign Barry Bonds the f...
Woods Takes One Stroke Lead, Rocco Still Smiling Like A Man Playing With House Money
The focus on Rocco right now is his closeness to the common man. After every shot, Johnny Miller is quick to point out Rocco's likability: shlubby, balding, great attitude, "looks like the guy who cleans the swimming pool", etc. It seems genuine, but you get the sense that they're waiting for Tiger...
