Reminding You Once Again: The NLCS Is On
We didn't think we were doing a very good job of hiding this, but some of you still wondered, so we'll make it as plainly obvious as we possibly can: We are rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals. As you might have guessed from the Reggie Miller corn maze item earlier today, we are from America's Hea...

Leftovers: Orel Report
• A's may be talking to Hershiser about manager position. Then again, it could all just be an episode of "Punk'd." [Athletics Nation] • Harding-Kerrigan saga becomes an opera. But then, it always was. [Media Relations] • LeBron hospitalized with muscle pain in, as Woody Allen would say, his chestal ...
Wait, Aren't The YANKEES The Sign Of The Beast?
Excellent find from David Pinto at Baseball Musings (which we wholeheartedly endorse as THE site to read for great live updates and commentary during night playoff games; his post today comparing the Doug Eddings incident and computer pattern recognition is fantastic): Apparently an employee of To...
In Defense Of Joe Pa's Views Of Lesbians

The Dirty Sheets Of South Bend
People are so excited about the USC-Notre Dame game this weekend that even travel arrangements are making the news. The fine folks at HotelChatter have taken a look at one of the worst hotels near Touchdown Jesus you could possibly find, the Knight's Inn South Bend, where one guest checked into th...
Does Joe Pa Hate Lesbians Too?
Yesterday, we made a glib remark about Joe Paterno and Penn State's homophobic coach, because hey, we're a blog, we're glib, it's what we do. We joked that you could say what you want about Joe Paterno, but at least unlike his women's basketball coach, he didn't hate lesbians....
Will The Boss Rock Touchdown Jesus?
We keep hearing about all these rumors, so since we are who we are, we might as well publish them. Whispers abound all around South Bend that tomorrow's pep rally for the Notre Dame game against the undefeated USC Trojans — recently moved from the Joyce Center to Notre Dame Stadium — will feature ...
We Know What You Did Last Night, Eddings
Any umpire will tell you that if, when the game is over, you haven't noticed them and you don't know they're name, they've done their job. By this measure, Doug Eddings had a poor day at the office. As the world wakes up this morning to a steady stream of vitriol at the umpire for his strange call...
Playoffs Pants Party: Cardinals vs. Astros
Well, fortunately, we have F/X. Like last year, the Cardinals and Astros are playing a game of their NLCS on an obscure cable network that's up there near the Outdoor Life Network. But that's fine: It's only the playoffs. Anyway, this is a rematch of a series last year that, since apparently nobod...
Leftovers: Pack Up Your Crap and Get Out
• NC State basketball player Gavin Grant may be deported. And yet Yakov Smirnoff continues to thrive here. [SportzAssassin] • Perlozzo loses interim tag, made permanent manager of Orioles. That'll teach him. [Beltway Sports Beat] • Mike Krzyzewski to lead '08 Olympic team. We assume in basketball. [...
BCS Finally Acknowledges That Earth Is Round
We love it when it takes almost a decade for a bunch of men in plaid suits to figure out something that our four-year-old cousin has known since birth....
Checking In With The On The DL Girls
It has been a while since we checked in with the lovely ladies of On The DL, the site full of blind items about Major League Baseball players. So, how's it going over there? Well, it appears that already very busy Boston "closer" Keith Foulke has been even more busy, flashing the World Series ring...
Ed Hochuli Defends Truckers And Throws Flags
We've marveled before at the being that is jacked-up NFL referee Ed Hochuli, his propensity to go after anyone who talks about him online, the very obvious man-crush Phil Simms has on him, so on....
We're Guessing Tice Got On The Wrong Boat
OK, time to dig into this Minnesota Vikings sex boat story....
Confirming Once Again: Penises Are Funny
From the front page of Friday's Purdue Exponent, this photo shows Purdue fans getting "rowdy" as they bat around a huge inflatable penis during their loss to Notre Dame a week and a half ago. Or, as the caption to the paper's photo puts it, an "oversized phallic object."...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while fishing people out of Boston Harbor ... • ALCS, Game 1: California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels remind us why White Sox haven't won the big one since 1917. • NHL: Jeff O'Neal honors late brother with winning goal for Maple Leafs. • NHL: Senators on a roll, grab fourth straight wi...
Playoffs Pants Party: White Sox vs. Angels
We had someone tell us earlier today that the presumed exhaustion the Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim — a name we will insist on typing out completely throughout this series — are facing after playing three games in three days in three different cities is overstated, that these are baseball players,...
