Fox Sports Typo Has Gary Carter Growing Up In The Great Depression
Presumably it was a typo that gave Gary Carter the birth year of 1926 in Foxsports.com's front page splash, but it's an odd typo considering it's not close to his actual birth year of 1954. An emailer suggests he was confused with professional bowler Don Carter. We wish the Kid had another 28 years ...
Here's Fox Sports Detroit's Insightful Sideline Interview With Chewbacca During The Pistons Game
It's Star Wars night at the Palace, which means yet another night for nerds to strap on their Stormtrooper masks and pretend to have a social life at a sports venue.

Somebody Let Dirk Nowitzki Have The Microphone Again, And The Results Were <em>Äußerst Komisch</em>
Dirk Nowitzki's occasional stints as a TV analyst have led to catchphrases including "Take Dat With You," which became an unofficial rallying cry for last year's Mavericks. Dirk's grunts and ejaculations are funny, for sure—even if sometimes in a "does my breath smell funny" or "does my car sound ...
Let The Record Reflect The Fact That The Kansas City Royals Actually Play Home Games In Missouri

Good Luck Charm? Cardinals Play-By-Play Broadcaster Might Have Wet Himself During His DWI Arrest
Two Sundays ago, Fox Sports Midwest's Dan McLaughlin was arrested for driving drunk after he crashed into a stop sign in Chesterfield, a suburb of St. Louis.

A.J. Pierzynski Will Be Irritating You On World Series Broadcasts This Year
Fox Sports announced today, per USA Today, that once-blond nuisance (and current White Sox starting catcher) AJ Pierzynski would join Eric Karros' pompadour and the formerly frosted, still gelled tips of Chris Rose on Fox's World Series pregame and postgame coverage. Yuck. (We presume Jeanne Zelasko...

UFC Announces First Fight On Fox; "Fair And Balanced" Coverage On Fox Sports Ensues
In August, the UFC revealed that it was teaming up with Fox to broadcast fights. Details were scarce at the time. The UFC usually reveals such details later in media conference calls. And it usually declares such media conference calls in the manner that Crazy Eddie once sold stereos: "UFC PRESIDENT...
Fox Sports Apologizes To "The Entire USC Community" For Segment That Singled Out USC's Asian Students
Yesterday, Fox Sports aired a segment that featured Bob Oschack giving USC students a "good, old-fashioned All-American welcome" to Colorado and Utah, the newest members of the Pac-1012. The gimmick: Oshack only interviewed Asian USC students—because in the world of misguided network television humo...
Fox Sports Does Humiliating Whiteface Routine
This is a Fox Sports segment making a joke about how schools from America's interior West are joining the previously mostly-coastal conference formerly known as the Pac-10. Students on the West Coast are not like students in Colorado and Utah, you see....

Thompson, a sideline princess for Fox Sports and former "Best Damn" co-host, took to Twitter last night to share her thoughts on President Obama's SOTU address. She was reluctant, at first, but eventually just HAD to say something....
Fox Robot Makes Perfect Stocking Stuffer For People You Hate
Someone is actually selling 10" action figures of Cleatus, the audience-enraging Fox football robot. Unless it's a voodoo doll I can stuff with dynamite to put us all out of our misery, I'm not interested. [Foamheads]...
FOX Sports Sends A Message: "We Are Shameless Corporate Whores"
Obviously, the FOX television network is not known for subtlety or restraint when it comes to shilling for its various synerg-tatsic properties, but their ridiculous Avatar promos on Sunday redefined crappy product placement (for crappy products.)...
Where'd Our Boobs Go, FOXSports?
It's Thursday, which means the latest edition of their "fleshy" "comedy" series. I'm sure you knew that. Doesn't look like any bare breasts made it on this week, but I'm not watching all 16 goddamn minutes to make sure. [FOXSports.com]...
Keep Your Boobs Out Of My Sports, FOXSports
So, what happened to FOXSports' attempt to one-up two-up other sports sites by featuring actual uncensored nudity? Taken down in a hot minute. Unfortunately, since this is the Internet, there is nowhere else to find pictures of breasts. [Sporting News]...
