You Could Be The Next Johnny Utah, Brah
If you're like us, you pretty much worship the movie Point Break, starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, but are saddened that there has never been a live theater production. Well, fret no more. Point Break Live! is the play that is sweeping the nation, and even if live theater makes you break ou...
Yes, We Do Acknowledge The WNBA Champions
We have a firm rule around these parts: When a team wins the championship of a national professional sports league that shows up on national telecasts, they get a congratulatory post....
Bill Romanowski, Method Actor
You might remember, back in April, when Rick told you about the upcoming film in which Bill Romanowski plays a gay cowboy. (How could you forget?) The move is called Weiners. And now there's a disturbing publicity still....
Weekends Now Get To Be Fun Again
If you were wondering why Michael Vick has been on the cover of ESPN.com — and certainly taking up his fair share of space here ... including some more in about half an hour — for the entire month of August, it's because it's the most brutal sports month there is. (We personally would put it above F...
R.I.P. Eddie Griffin
We send our condolences to the family and friends of former Timberwolves guard Eddie Griffin, who was killed last Friday when his SUV hit a moving train. Word of his death in Houston only came out yesterday....

AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him and let him know what you think....
Yao Ming's Fantasy Wedding
Rockets center Yao Ming got himself hitched yesterday — or today, or whatever the hell the time change makes the actual date — in front of 70 onlookers and about 100 media people hanging out in the lobby waiting for interviews. It must be so odd to have people wanting to interview you after your wed...
Jean Strahan Is Gettin Paid
If Michael Strahan wants to lose the gap-toothed look he should probably go to the dentist now while he's still insured. Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports(!) has shed some light on the financial terms of the Strahan's highly publicized divorce....
The Long, Painful "March" To 755
We're not gonna make any predictions this time — and we promise, this is the last time we're gonna end a day with a Bonds post — but Barry Bonds might or might not give this another try tonight....
"Interiors Kicks Radio Days' Ass!"
Forgive us, since this post is entirely self-indulgent and has absolutely nothing to do with sports, but when two inmates get in a fight over Woody Allen, well, we just couldn't sleep at night if we didn't write about it....
Selig Won't Watch, But We'll Have To
Well, if that whole Barry Bonds Won't Play On ESPN thing turns out to be based in reality, we're all in luck; Bonds is never going to break Hank Aaron's record. Because everyone of his at-bats is gonna be on The Worldwide Leader until, well, until he breaks it, or dies. So, you know, enjoy....
Michael Vick Got Served, Protested Against
Everybody seems to be pretty peeved with Mr. Vick...even PETA! Those plucky characters spent yesterday afternoon picketing outside NFL headquarters. Of course Roger Goodell wasn't actually there to see it, he was safe from their mutton chopped intimidators in his subterranean bunker....
A Fitting Tribute To Larry O'Brien, If Larry O'Brien Was A Drunk
It lacks the Stanley Cup's charming ability to serve as a giant alcohol dispenser, but the NBA's Larry O'Brien trophy can be surrounded with what appear to be empty beer cans. The picture was sent in by a reader who's friend works in Cleveland across from the Ritz, and snapped this photograph the mo...
What Will Be The Major Sports Story This Time Next Year?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
NBA Finals Blogdome: Spurs Win The Title

Your Gripping NBA Champions
It is probably not a good sign that the morning after we crown a new NBA champion — and we do congratulate the Spurs, sure — more people are emailing us about a guy who hasn't been in the NBA for 11 years than they are about the game. (To be fair, the story did involve masturbation.) When's the draf...
Our Long National Nightmare Could End Tonight
We're not sure what the official name is for what we'll be doing to the Spurs when if they win the NBA Championship tonight. Will we coronate them? Dub them a dynasty? Crown their asses?...
Trying To Salvage What's Left Of The NBA Season
As we sift through the carnage of a mostly D.O.A. NBA Finals, we wonder: Can anything save it at this point? The popular theory is that Cavs coach Mike Brown is destroying any slim hope his team has — maybe he should play Eric Snow more — and, in addition, he's making the games excruciating to watch...
