The Bigger The Hands, The Larger The ... Wristband
This came in a little too late to make Who's Sorry Now?, but the Boston Globe has issued an apology on its web site that can only be described as comedy gold.

Former Buxom Football Broadcaster Hilariously Steamed at Fair-Weathered Pats' Fans

This Column Is Desperate For A Bailout
Before we get started, a few words on America's financial crisis. (Because hey, who knows more about our economy than a sports blogger from Nowhere, Illinois?)

White Sox. Twins. Tonight. For The Playoffs. Be There.
Introducing the only player in the majors whom we're sure isn't on steroids.

Tampa Bays Rays executives know that it's always a challenge to try and fill Tropicana Field, so with that in mind they went for the most exciting choice ever to throw out the first pitch in Game 1 of the ALDS.

NLDS Preview: Cubs Vs. Dodgers
From the very first day of Spring Training, the general consensus has been that This Is The Cubs' Year. (This has caused me considerable frightened quivering, pretty much from the get-go.)

College Football Roundup Week 5: The Saga of Destroyed College Gameday Signs
Each week more signs appear behind the stage at ESPN's College Gameday. Some are original and funny (Knowshon Crossing sign with his leaping outline), some are entirely inside jokes (let's make a sign with our friend's name on it and hold it up for three hours early in the morning), and some are de...
ALDS Preview: Angels Vs. Red Sox
The most refreshing aspect of the Red Sox-Angels series is that it's happening in the ALDS rather than the ALCS. This means, no matter what, that either the Devil Rays, the White Sox or the Twins will be playing for the World Series. In a crazy year, this is far more fitting than yet another Boston...
Financial Institutions (And the Mets) Aren't the Only Things Collapsing in Epic Failure
Michael Bertin writes regularly about soccer for Deadspin. A funny thing happened on the way to the San Siro.

Perhaps the most joyful of playoff entrants this year are the Milwaukee Brewers, who just a couple weeks ago were in the midst of an epic free-fall out of wild card contention.
