Fat Drivers Whine
Last week, before the Indianapolis 500, Nascar dolt Robby Gordon said it was unfair that Danica Patrick was so light, saying she had a natural advantage for speed, being so spindly. We found this amusing, because once we find the one advantage women have over men in the world of sports, some idiot...

For Background Purposes, Honest
Just in case you thought Danica Patrick was a brand new phenomenon, FHM proudly proclaims that it had pictures of her months ago. So we link them to you, for research purposes. We missed the Rusty Wallace spread; our subscription to Beer Gut just ran out....

Nothing much to report from ... oh, here's something. "Tour of Duty" blog authors Kevin and Sean recently visited the wax museum. Right after this photo was taken, Lasorda had to return to his real job with the Dodgers — covering the infield when it rains. Vin Scully, of course, is so old that he...

Danica Mania: The Aftermath
Like a lot of people, we were on the couch Sunday, cheering on Danica Patrick — and, perhaps even more so, David Letterman — at the Indianapolis 500. A friend of ours was asking us the other day, perplexed, whether or not we found Danica Patrick physically attractive; we said that he was wrong to ...

Another Non-Descript Gay "Comes Out"
OK, we'll be honest: We're getting tired of gay athletes. What, you ask? You didn't know of any gay athletes? Well, the only gay athletes that exist, apparently, are those who play obscure sports at tiny universities. (The most only thing wrong with gay athletes is how they inspire every journalis...

Today's MLB Blogs home page is actually sort of jarring. It features a rouge's gallery of mugs of club broadcasters, all demanding that you join their mother site. It kind of reminds us of the final scene from Return of the Jedi — spectral images of heroes from the past, standing together and smili...
Kwan Excited About Choking Again
We don't pay much attention to figure skating — obviously — but we have always been amused and befuddled by the intense popularity of Michelle Kwan. (We once knew a grown woman who had pictures of her all over her wall. She was a sensitive sort.) Yesterday, Kwan announced that she will participate...
How To Give College SIDs Something To Do Over The Summer
As former sports editors of our college papers, we can assure you: There is no more loathsome creature than the college sports information director. Secure that what they're doing is important, believing they're really a part of the team, they wield their small-town "power" as if they truly hold the...
