Ian Eagle, DANCE OFF
When NBA TV cut back a little early to Ian Eagle and Dr. Jack Ramsay during the Wizards-Cavaliers game yesterday, they caught Eagle, clearly lacking conversation from Dr. Jack, making sure to give himself up to the commercial break dance party....
Curt Schilling Accused Of Being Self-Aggrandizing. Really.
We're not sure it matters, ultimately, whether or not Curt Schilling, as Gary Thorne famously (and obliviously) claimed last evening, actually painted blood on his sock in the 2004 World Series. We don't think he did, and his performance was rather amazing either way, but Schilling has always seemed...
Warriors Were Closer Than You Probably Think They Were
The final score might not have been indicative, but anyone who watched that Dallas-Golden State game last night knows that the Warriors had every opportunity to make this a 2-0 series last night.

LeBron James, "Singing" And "Dancing"
We know that LeBron James is always trying to become the cool, worldwide superstar guy that everybody loves, that transcends all demographic commercial boundaries, the superhuman with a sense of humor.

Seriously, Arkansas Fans Are Insane
We're not sure the true historic nature of what's going on at the University of Arkansas is being adequately appreciated. Basically, a bunch of ticked-off message board fans are doing everything they can to take down the athletic department of their university ... and they're doing a damned good job...
Following College Football, One Stadium At A Time
So here's a novel concept: Some 23-year-old kid named Dave has made it his life's goal to visit all 119 Division I-A college football stadiums before he turns 30. (It is important to aim high!) It's called Project 119, and he has of course set up a site to document his travels....
Michael Bloomberg Cannot Be Bothered With Your 'Hockey'
Let it be known that Michael Bloomberg is a serious man with many important papers on his desk, and that his office has wood paneling and various brass fixtures. This leaves him little time for traditional sports wagers with other, lesser mayors....

Ripping It And Gripping It With John Daly
A boardroom somewhere in corporate America: "Gentlemen, who better to sell our golf balls than John Daly? And to add color, let's show him brandishing a beer and driving haphazardly in a golf cart!" (Murmurs of agreement). Corporate president: "We'd be idiots NOT to try it!"...
The Heat Suddenly Look Rather Elderly
Never have we been more aware of how important, you know, not being old is in the sport of basketball than during this Heat-Bulls series. Or, as Blog A Bull puts it, "if the Bulls keep getting this open while an aged Heat defender flails away a few steps behind, the shots will likely keep falling." ...

Harvey Keitel And Derek Jeter, Together At Last
So here's that new Gatorade commercial starring Derek Jeter, John Lackey and the shriveling, dying vessel that once contained Harvey Keitel. We applaud the somewhat innovative ad, but, frankly, we would have enjoyed it much more if, upon spotting Jeter, Keitel had recreated his character from Bad Li...

Roger Goodell Is Judge, Jury And Executioner
Sure, we all laughed when Pac Man Jones was suspended by the NFL for a year, because it's Pac Man Jones, and everything Pac Man Jones does is funny. But CBS Sportsline's Clay Travis points out that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was positively Orwellian in his sentence. After all, Pac Man is essenti...
