Scoop Jackson And (Someone Else's) Orange Roundie
Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that, oh, Mike Lupica wrote a story for Esquire in which he discussed a concept he had discovered "on the Internet" called "The Ewing Theory." He then wrote a whole 4,000-word piece in which he borrowed heavily from the "Internet concept," but never actually men...
Uh, Jack, You Missed A Spot. A Big Spot
Sorry, Mr. Orton: There's a new neck beard champion. This photo, swiped by 55 Problems, shows Jack Nicholson with the strangest neck beard we've ever seen. Uh, you'll fix that by Oscar night, right Jack?...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NFC East with Chuck Knox Jr.: Um, is singing really the answer to the Giants' problems? This can only make things worse. • 1:30 p.m. Hip hop legend Chuck D: Do you cry every time you watch "Flavor Of Love?" Because we do. • 3 p.m...
The Asian Games Will Brook No Shenanigans
As if you didn't know, the Asian Games begin today in Doha, Qatar. And no one involved is taking any chances. One of the events is chess (seriously), and before they can compete, all participants had to be tested for performance enhancers....
The Big Ben Police Dog
We bring you this famous YouTube video of the world's worst police dog in honor of the news that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has offered to buy a new police dog for his hometown of Findlay, Ohio, after theirs was killed when it ran into a neighbor's yard. (Deserved it, too!)...
NBA Roundup: Um, Kobe Is Back, Apparently
Notes from Thursday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
Bengals Love A Rainy Night
We're not sure when the Bengals defense suddenly got all uppity, but jeez, that could be an entirely different team all of a sudden. In the Bengals' 13-7 win over the Ravens last night, the Cincy defense almost threw another shutout, their second in a row, and staved off the Ravens' attempt to cli...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while finally making use of that University of Miami degree (sorry)... • NFL: Bengals 13, Ravens 7. That guy on the commercial who drafted T.J. Houshmandzadeh was right — even though he couldn't pronounce the name. • Horse racing: Russell Baze provides news that doesn't involve Barba...
Bengals Receivers Takes Their Antics To Basic Cable
We promise to someday stop bitching about this — probably when the season ends — but once again, we, as Time Warner Cable subscribers, will not be able to watch tonight's Bengals-Ravens game, because it's on the NFL Network, and even though we somehow get the Al Gore slacker news channel, we don't g...
To Watch Tonight

Ten Moments That Will Make You Cry
Just to be cruel to our delicate sensibilities, the fine folks at Chowdaheads have compiled the 10 most gruesome broken arms and legs in sports history. You can probably guess what No. 1 is; the video above is, frighteningly, only No. 3. (The anticipation in this clip is too brutal for us to handle....
It's Never Too Early In Wrigleyville
Honestly, the Cubs are kind of freaking us out with all this spending business. The overspend for Aramis Ramirez, they really overspend for Mark DeRosa and they REALLY overspend on Alfonso Soriano, and now they're supposedly going after Jason Schmidt. We're not necessarily concerned that these acq...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Ozzie Guillen Vs. Stephen A. Smith
Just two more first-round matchups left until the Elite Eight, and we've got a potential barnburner here today. (Does anyone other than Musberger use "barnburner" anymore? We like the term.)...

Please, Someone, Make Strahan Just Go Away
All right, we'll say it: We absolutely do not believe Michael Strahan when he does anything anymore. Everything the guy does seems so calculated, so media-savvy, so gay dramatic ... well, we just don't buy it anymore. If this guy played in Jacksonville, no one would know about him, or care....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NCAA FB with Todd McShay: Is "fat and bored" any way to describe the nation's No. 1 team? • 4 p.m. Boxer Winky Wright: Is Ronald your real name or your nickname? Because it would be cool if it were the latter. • 4 p.m. Football s...
