Donovan, Beckham Each Politely Request A Mulligan
It's buyer's remorse day here at Who's Sorry Now, as Billy Donovan and David Beckham each ask the musical question: What exactly is the cooling off period for switching high-profile sports jobs? In Donovan's case, on Friday he decided to leave the Florida Gators to take the Orlando Magic job, then t...
Eric Mangini Enjoys Vesuvio's
We like Jets coach Eric Mangini, even if he's way too young to be that football-coach tubby. But we — as obsessed "Sopranos" fans since the very first episode — hope he understands the honor bestowed upon him. He cameoed last night on what was one of the most intense, breathtaking episodes of the mo...

Hooray For American Soccer!

[Breaking the Press] • Get some of those Goodyear Tires with the aqua channel things, and race, pussies. [TSN] • Duck defenseman Chris Pronger is suspended for Game ...
Gary Sheffield, Unlike You Latin Pushovers, Will Not Be Controlled
I don't know if it was the conspiracy he was talking about yesterday, but Gary Sheffield did tell GQ all about his thoughts on why there are dwindling numbers of African-Americans in Major League Baseball....
The Chestnut Vs. Kobayashi Rivalry Heats Up
LeBron James wasn't the only world-class athlete who made a significant breakthrough yesterday. Joey Chestnut sucked down 59 and 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes, breaking Takeru Kobayashi's previous record of 54 and 1/4. The feat was accomplished, as so many notable athletic feats are, at the Arizona Mil...
Jack Trudeau Likes Alcohol ... Policemen, Not So Much
It's that time of year. The kids are graduating from high school, and former Colts quarterbacks are getting them shitfaced. It seems like just yesterday, it was me donning the cap and gown, getting my diploma, and Jeff George threatening to beat my ass if I couldn't do a keg stand for 45 seconds....

Travel Tips From An ESPN Producer
• A freelance producer who did work for ESPN shouldn't have taken that lighter on the plane. Or the drugs. Or the child porn. [KUTV Video Library] • Bobby Martin, who played high school football despite his lack of legs, is aiming to make the Arena or Canadian Football league. [Gelf Magazine] • Migh...
Gary Sheffield Will Rip The Lid Off Of It
For "aggressive actions directed at umpire Greg Gibson," Detroit Tigers DH Gary Sheffield was suspended for three games. Sheff broke his bat, and then threw the handle down ... somewhere. He says he threw it towards the dugout, Major League Baseball says he threw it at the ump....
All The Sudden, Mike D'Antonio Seems Stoic And Emotionless
I particularly enjoyed the meticulous job of covering home plate in dirt. Paula Dean doesn't take that much care when she's baking a cake. Nor does she crawl around on the grass afterwards, and throw a rosin bag as if it were a grenade. But, I guess that's why she'll never be asked to manage the Mis...
Alex Rodriguez Resists Temptation
If it's true that A-Rod likes the "she-male, muscular type," then it must have been quite a struggle to maintain focus last night. Decent effort, Fenway fans ... but it wouldn't hurt you to show a little more cleavage....
You Say 'Monster Pig,' I Say 'Fred'
I could be wrong about this, but I think hunters would be less likely to thoughtlessly pump bullets into animals if they knew they had names. For instance, that giant pig that the 11-year-old killed? Would it have been so easy to pull the trigger (9 times) if the enormous animal had been wearing a n...

About Last Night...
• MLB. Yankees 9, Red Sox 5. Good news: Game 1 of the series, and we've already had 5 beanballs and 2 ejections. • Arena Football. Desperados 59, Soul 56. Desperado has finally come to his senses, it appears. • WNBA. Liberty 70, Lynx 60. Minnesota's 0-6, and I'm sure you know this, but that's the th...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch to top off another glorious Free Donut Day ... • Boxing: Junior middleweights, James Kirkland vs. Ossie Duran; junior welterweights, Timothy Bradley vs. Donald Camarena, at Santa Ynez, Calif.
