When Your ERA Is 0.04, Nobody Cares Whom You Took To Prom
One of the women in this photo — we're not sure which one, and we're not gonna go try and find out, lest their father hunt us down and call us out in the pages of a national newspaper — is Katie Osburn, a pitcher for Allen Park Cabrini high school in Michigan. Well, we say "a" pitcher, but we really...
College Helps You Spell
One of the main reasons to enjoy the College World Series: The brilliant, obviously university-educated, fan signs in the crowd. That one's from a Mississippi State fan....
We Welcome Sam Woods To The Planet
A few months back, our own AJ Daulerio wondered what Tiger Woods would name his impending child. Sadly, Tiger did not go with "Urethra;" instead he went with the boring Sam Alexis Woods. SAW. We suppose it's better than ASS....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after posting bail for God ... • MLB: Boston at Atlanta. This just doesn't seem right somehow. [ESPN] • Arena Football: Chicago at Colorado. Kyle Moore-Brown has been in the AFL for 13 years? That seems like a very long time. [ESPN2] • College baseball: World Series, Arizona State vs. ...
Why Would The Orioles Ever Need To Make A Change?
We don't mean to imply that it might be a tough time for Cubs fans, but now their executives are jumping ship to the Orioles....
You Know, You Think You Know A Guy
One would think that, after all that's gone down with him over the past year or so, Pac Man Jones would steer clear of the following things:...
It's Good To Have A Golf Champion Actually Look Like A Golfer
Like most casual golf fans in America, we spent most of the day yesterday away from the television but curious if Tiger Woods was going to win the U.S. Open. A victory by anyone else would elicit a shrug; a victory by Tiger would somehow matter more, as if we're enough of an expert in golf to unders...
Ah, Screw Birdies
If you got points for impressive pars, it would've been Tiger Woods' day ... but the man couldn't squeeze a birdie out of his Sunday round to save his life. Angel Cabrera, who shot a very impressive 69, is your winner. Oh well. I'm sure he has a dad, too....
Tiger's Nipples Look Fantastic
Playing alongside Tiger in the day's final pairing, Aaron Baddeley set the tone for the day with a triple bogey. He hasn't been able to stop the bleeding since ... He started at +2, and is now at +8....
I Smell Tiger Tears
Today just feels like a day where Tiger Woods ends up crying. It's the US Open, it's Fathers Day, he's in the final pairing at Oakmont, and he's due to become a father soon. It feels so storybook. Thank goodness Jim Nantz isn't involved ... I don't know if I could take the sappiness....
A Cub Not Named Michael Barrett Fights Someone
As noted in an earlier threadjack, Cubs' slugger Derrek Lee got into it with 6'10" Padres pitcher Chris Young. Lee, as angry baseball players are apt to do, swung wildly, and Young did not back down. Had this one not been broken up, I'd like Young's chances....
We're Apparently Going To The Wrong Bars
You might have heard about Jeff Adams, the world-class wheelchair athlete who claimed a woman placed cocaine in his mouth, and that's why he later failed a drug test. (This inspired WBRS Sports Blog to note "it really makes you wonder what kind of person would forcibly put cocaine into the mouth of ...
What Will Be The Major Sports Story This Time Next Year?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Sportsline Columnist On Suicide Mission To Fly
So you know those wacky videos they show every year of some Red Bull event where silly folks try to fly their homemade "airplanes" off a 30-foot cliff? (The 10 best crashes are here.) That's called The Flugtag, and this year, Clay Travis, of CBS Sportsline Claynation fame — and our own Tennessee Tit...
Another Way To Waste Your Workday
As mentioned in the comments below, if you're stuck at work today and love the U.S. Open, you can pretty much watch the whole thing live in HD on your computer at USOpen.com. We have a Mac, which isn't always the best at playing video, but the reception on this is clear and free of burps....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while herding sheep with a pig ... • MLB: "Oh look, dear. Venus is in the the western sky, and the Mets are struggling a little earlier than usual this year." • Soccer: Mexico beats Panama, avoiding a showdown with the U.S. Is that good? • Tennis: Maria Sharapova, Jelena Jankovic on ...
Your U.S. Open Preview, If You're Into That Sort Of Thing
The U.S. Open, held this year in Oakmont, Pennsylvania (just outside Pittsburgh), begins tomorrow. Last year's winner was Geoff Oglivy, and though everyone always assumes Tiger Woods wins everything he hasn't actually brought home a U.S. Open trophy since 2002. (If you're still counting, he's still ...
John Daly Wants To Make It Clear His Wife Beats Him
Someone asked us the other day: "Why do people care so much about John Daly? He never even wins tournaments. He's not that good." The answer to our question was simple: John Daly is the world's only interesting golfer....
It's Been One Year Since Big Ben's Curbing
You know, time really flies when you've banged your head against pavement at 50 miles per hour. It's like you can't get perspective on matters, or something. Yes, folks, it has been exactly one year today since Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident. It's a day Steelers fans will always remember,...
John Daly's Wife: 'No Stabby My Hubby'
We knew that there had to be more to this story ... come on, it's John Daly. And he didn't let us down. apparently....
