Playoffs Pants Party: Angels vs. Yankees
This series will be fun to live in the New York City area during, because tonight's game will surely last past midnight, tomorrow's could last past 2 a.m. and Sunday, if a night game and if played, could turn every sports bar in the city into downtown Baghdad. Of all four divisional series, this i...
Nobody Puts The Admiral In A Corner!
Everybody loves David Robinson. He's a military man, a two-time NBA champion and the type of guy who seems to clearly mean well for his fellow man (and DARE Lion). But that's no matter in the world of copyright infringement; the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim — a team name with so many words that j...
Michigan Courts Make Society Safe Again
We know it's amazing that sports have been able to continue in the 10 months since the Pistons-Pacers brawl at The Palace in Detroit, but somehow, someway, athletic endeavors have been able to stagger on. In another example of the brutal ramifications of the actions of everyone involved, the three...
Giants Fans Remain Most Erudite In Sport
We once went to a St. Louis Cardinals-New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium with a smattering of fellow Cardinals fans. There was a rain delay, and our group — all dressed in loud red, of course — watched the Bleacher Creatures amuse themselves, treating the benches like Slip-n-Slide's and parti...
"Ditka 84, Bengals Negative-7"
With the Bears' convincing win over quarterback Corky Thatcher and the Detroit Lions, and a NFC North division that suddenly looks very winnable, we look to the Chicago Bears for the most reason anyone looks to the Chicago Fears: Da Fans. Bears fans might not be the most spirited fans in all of th...

Another Reason To Hate Teenagers
We've been watching video of that dumbass teenager who jumped onto the screen behind home plate at Yankee Stadium last night. We love contrasting the terrified look on his face after he pulled that stunt with the this-is-why-we're-never-having-children smirk when he was taken into police custody ...

The Lady Fans Congregate
Since the NFL shut down the infamous "NFL4Her" portion of its Web site, it has been difficult to find a place where women sports fans can congregate. Fortunate, the fine folks at FemmeFan have alerted us to their presence. Like many gay/women sports fan sites, it's pretty much a straightforward sp...

From the fine folks at Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer comes the concept of human hamster races at Wake Forest....
Hopefully They Don't Change Logos Sometime Before, Oh, Eternity
From the great sports fan behavior chroniclers at Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer comes the tale of James Henry Smith. He is — or, was, rather — "one of the biggest Steelers fans in the universe," say his friends. As if to prove it, he was buried in his recliner, all decked up in his Steelers garb. Ho...
Oh, Yes, We Can Definitely Hear You Now
Right now, half the country is looking at this picture and saying, "Hey ... did I go to college with that guy?...
Brad And Grace
Meet Brad Wackerlin. He lives in Lake of the Hills, Ill., is 33 years old and hey, sorry ladies, he just got married. He is also unnaturally obsessed with former Cubs first baseman Mark Grace. How obsessed? Well, he has 2,000 different Mark Grace baseball cards, runs two Mark Grace Web sites — Ma...
Do Not Make A Montreal Expo Mad
Remember Ken Hill? The Expos/Cardinals/Rangers/Red Sox pitcher was the type of guy who always destroyed your fantasy team; the year you drafted him high, he collapsed, and the year you didn't draft him, he'd rock on somebody else's team. (He was also the ace on that great 1994 Expos team.)...
Where Else To Take The Kids But Hooters?
Following up on a story in the Louisville Channel, ESPN's Darren Rovell digs into the news that Hooters might be sponsoring Little League teams. A Hooters rep — we wonder if the spokesperson has to wear those tanktops — said very few parents have complained; in fact, since the story broke, restaur...

Pujols Resists Temptation To Kill Fan
Here's a perfect example of how powerful ESPN is. Last night, Albert Pujols, while chasing a foul ball down the first base line, was grasped by a drunken Philadelphia fan in the front row. Pujols kept his cool, glowering at and lecturing the man before giving the ball to a kid next to him, becaus...
Kicking and Screaming
This is always fun: At a girl's rugby game — little girls are playing rugby? — in Rohnert Park, Calif. on Saturday, a parent punched a referee in the face when he was told to move his Camcorder off the field. Not a big deal, right? Refs are getting decked at kid's games all the time; that's why we h...
