Monk Is in the Hall, at Long Last
Right about now, the NFL's Hall of Fame Inductions are starting over at ESPN, and grown men are about to start openly weeping. After years of getting snubbed by the voting committee, Washington Redskins great Art Monk is finally getting his time in the sun. Monk is being inducted into the HOF along ...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after you're hurled across the gym by the weight machine ... • Boxing: Light welterweights, Jose Luis Castillo vs. Sebastian Lujan, at El Cajon, Calif. (9 p.m., ET). Castillo's nickname is "El Terrible," which I suppose can be taken two ways ... [ESPN2] • MLB: Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee...
Jeff Kent: A Good Jerk Is Hard To Find
The Manny Ramirez rumors and, you know, the earthquake are the top news in LA right now, but there's also an interesting article by the T.J. Simers in today's LA Times about Dodgers Dangle-stached second baseman Jeff Kent. The headline is "Appreciate Jeff Kent While You Still Can", which while overl...
Jeff Garcia Longs For Affection From Someone Other Than His Wife
In what could turn out to be an old man tussle of epic proportions not seen since Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau fought for the red-headed love of Ann-Margret, current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia has let it be known that he is not conceding to that graybeard fellow in Green Bay shou...
U Of F President Irked By Gators' Party School Honor
It must be difficult for any university president to respond to the news that the school they promote as a bastion of education, culture, and developing fine, upstanding human beings is designated as the nation's top-ranked party school. On one hand, you're grateful for the national exposure the sch...
Ken Griffey, Jr. Tosses Throat Slash To Jeff Brantley
We've officially seen everything now. Griffey was evidently upset by comments Reds announcer Jeff Brantley made regarding his contract. Why after twenty years of relative peace, Griffey is breaking out late 90's football moves to make his points is anyone's guess. I guess he could do the Icky Shuff...
Looking for Why Gators Are Dominant? It Starts In Erin Andrews' Bed
Because, you see, the team is successful because Erin has realized that if she strips the bed of all pillows and comforters then good things happen. And occasionally, for superstitious reasons, she has the other girls over for sex-toy slumber parties and they exchange lingerie tips and...this is to...
Bo Knows This Won't End Well
Former Domer pitcher/receiver Jeff "The Shark" Samardzija made his Major League debut yesterday afternoon in a relief appearance for the Chicago Cubs. The 23 year-old rookie struck out a pair of Marlins in the two-inning outing, but he failed to pickup the hold after beginning the seventh inning wi...
Mayhem In The Midwest League
As you probably saw in our morning wakeup video whachamahoozit, the Peoria Chiefs and Dayton Dragons engaged in a pretty nasty brawl at Dayton's Fifth Third Park on Thursday, which even included a civilian casualty. Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo threw a ball at a Dayton player in the dugout, but mis...
F1 Chief Max Mosley Doesn't Like Nazi-Themed Sex Parties After All
At least according to the British courts. Thanks to stricter privacy laws in the UK, Mosley sued and has been awarded 60,000 pounds for having his reputation "ruined." Which, to me, seems like an amazingly small amount of money for a reputation. But what do I know? Said Justice Eady per the Guardia...
Iowa's Defense Has Promising Speed
Iowa football, it's safe to say, finished the season on a bad note, losing to Western Michigan. So they went out and recruited like crazy, landing guys like South Dakota football star Riley Reiff, a defensive end. His quickness and explosion should impress the coaches, especially since this weekend ...
Jeff Allison's Re-Renewed Sense Of Purpose Comes From Hamilton
Jeff Allison, the 23-year-old pitcher buried in the Florida Marlins farm system is destined to hear the Josh Hamilton comparisons throughout the rest of his career. Like Hamilton, Allison was a highly-touted prospect, a high school pitching phenom, who's been featured in more fall-from-grace stories...
Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....
Halo Kid Vs. Red Sox Nation: WHO YA GOT?
This here's the new yet derivative Internet sensation that is Halo Kid. Obvious comparisons can be drawn to Star Wars Kid, except Halo Kid will never be referenced on Arrested Development, so the former wins. Gilbert Arenas will still be his friend though. I post this here because I didn't want to p...
Is It At All Surprising That Alex Rodriguez Would Befriend Alicia Marie?
Well, look who it is! Welcome to the party, Alicia Marie, who's unfortunately making news because her name is being tossed around as a possible "friend" of Alex Rodriguez. But Alicia is quick to respond to the New York Daily News to defend herself and her "friendship" from such tawdry allegations:...
This Is The *Ball That Will Grace The Hall
Dan Patrick's radio show this afternoon was very Bonds branded-ball heavy, grabbing baseball HOF president Jeff Idelson on for a few minutes to talk about how they finally wrestled the piece of history away from Marc Ecko. Lucky for them, the HOF was kind enough to send them a picture of the infamo...
And The Alex Rodriguez Affair Saga Takes Another Wild, Unsubstantiated Turn For The Unequivocally Absurd
So, it appears that Alex Rodriguez won't shed the tabloid front pages that easily. This time, however, he's not the one who's allegedly having an affair with a haggard old pop star — it's his wife....
Ritzy Town's Attempt To Keep Aaron McKie From Endangering Them Falls Short
Former NBA player Aaron McKie was nabbed for minor gun charges a couple of weeks ago, which prompted some of his soon-to-be Gladwyne, Pa. neighbors to start their own pamphleteering club in an attempt to warn others about his impending arrival....
Alex Rodriguez and Madonna Both Respectfully Decline To Comment On Their Imaginary Relationship, Thank You
First off, it should be noted that both the NY Post and NY Daily News have this rumor-debunking information in their stories about a possible A-Rod/ Madonna romance:...
A-Rod's Alleged Madonna Affair Destined For Front Page Infamy
The New York tabloids have awakened from their Alex Rodriguez/Madonna hook-up snooze and are now in full-on attack mode against the Yankees' third baseman and the singer. The tabs are running the photos of Madonna sitting in A-Rod's seats during the June 22 game, which she attended with one of he...
