Luke Donald's Going To Need A Huge Pair Of Balls
I'm going to try to not make this post entirely about Tiger Woods, as tomorrow's golf post will probably be entirely about Tiger Woods. But yeah, Tiger Woods is tied with Luke Donald for the lead of the PGA Championship after 54 holes. Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods....
As Far As Wins Go, That Was Pretty Uncomfortable
It's just the first game, and a win's a win, but I'm not going to do any victory dances when we give up 100 points to Puerto Rico, either. Team USA did win by a score of 111-100, but they never really pulled away, they never dominated for a stretch longer than a couple of minutes, and they never rea...
Keith Hamilton Swings A Mean Surge Protector
Former Giants defensive tackle Keith Hamilton believes in an odd method of disciplining his children. Some parents will go for the "time-out," some will go for a routine spanking, some might make you put a quarter in a jar every time you swear. But if you're Keith Hamilton's kid, and you come home w...
Today In The Premiership...
• Cristiano Ronaldo, hated by everyone in England a month ago, was actually welcomed quite warmly by the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford today. He notched a goal and an assist in United's 3-0 victory over Sevilla. After he and beloved Wayne Rooney got into it during the Portugal/England quart...
More Mascot Nightmare Fuel From Our Friends In Japan
Japan is hosting the World Basketball Championships this year, and you know what that means: confusing cartoon mascots. You'll feel exactly like you've been hit over the head repeatedly with a Pachinko machine after viewing BAD Badtz-Maru — some sort of bad-ass penguin, we're told — and his "frien...
The King Is Dead, Long Live The King
Zack Hample has insulted us once too often. You remember Hample, the Dead End Kid who claims to have collected more than 2,000 baseballs at major league parks. In a recent post over at his blog, The Baseball Collector, Hample mocks Deadspin in a most egregious and insulting manner concerning Barry...
You're With Us, Shameless Consumerism
Someone emailed us today letting us know that, for their birthday, their friend was buying them one of the "You're With Me, Leather" T-shirts. We were touched and honored by this, though, to be fair, it doesn't take much to touch or honor us....
That Brief Moment Before Phillies Fans Start Hating You
Few things in the sports are more reliably and depressingly predictable than the arc of a young Philadelphia prospect. Philly fans start salivating when they initially hear about a guy, start shaking uncontrollably a few weeks before his debut, are screaming at a fever pitch once he's finally on t...
MC Hammer's Tomahawk Chop
So we were playing around on MC Hammer's blog this morning. We absolutely love Hammer's blog, so you know. He actually did a post yesterday just to give a blog shoutout to God. Gotta love that....
NCAA Pants Party: Monmouth Vs. Hampton
Monmouth Hawks (18-14) vs. Hampton Pirates (16-15). When: Tuesday, 7:35 p.m. Where: Dayton, Ohio....
You Got To Blog Just To Make It Today
We know what you're thinking: What does MC Hammer think about this Barry Bonds business?...
Hampton Pirates
1. Booker T Was Here. Booker T Washington (not this one) went to Hampton in 1872 as a student and eventually taught there. In 1881, he left to start a new institute, Tuskegee, in Alabama....
Vince Young, Meet David Beckham
Here's international soccer superstar David Beckham on helping his son Brooklyn (?) with his homework....
Our Leader's Tropical Vacation: Day 5
As you know, Will Leitch has been on holiday since Thursday — off to the Caribbean, we hear. You may picture him lying oiled and bronzed on a pristine beach, trying to decide between the lobster and the cracked crab. But knowing him as we do, we feel another scenario is far more likely: Sunburned ...
T.O.'s 18-Year-Old Assassin
We find it amusing that people are trying to come up with alternate excuses why Terrell Owens was suspended by the Eagles — fight with Hugh Douglas, frustration over the Eagles not recognizing his 100th touchdown, so on — when it's pretty clear, to us anyway, that his comment that Brett Favre woul...
Feeling Fisher DeBerry's Pain
Not to keep harping on this, but we couldn't help but point out the result of Fisher DeBerry's Air Force Falcons' game on Saturday:...
You Know What They Say About The Size Of A Man's Goatee
More Big fun from the folks at The Bulge Report, which is ranking the top 100 major league baseball players by the size of their, well, units. Yesterday we heard all about Brad Lidge and his "two-seam fastball" — if you know what we mean, and if you do, tell us, because we don't — and today we've ...
Blogdome: All Knicks, All The Time
• Not only is Larry Brown already insulting Stephon Marbury, but now former Knicks prez Dave Checketts wants to get into hockey. In St. Louis, even. [TrueHoop] • What's up with the Mets' new cable network, anyway? [Faith and Fear In Flushing] • A look back at the Baltimore Orioles 2005 season ... if...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while waiting in line to watch a movie about penguins waiting in line ... • MLB: Bonds singles, walks twice as Giants come within five of Padres, so naturally he takes today off. • MLB: Yankees foolishly use up the rest of their September offense in 20-hit, 17-3 splurge. • Champions ...
Making Fun of Don King Is Funny (Until He Stomps You To Death)
The New York Post's Page Six reports this morning that failed real estate entrepreneur Donald Trump will be hosting a Friar's club roast of boxing "promoter" Don King. Past roastees have included Pamela Anderson, Chevy Chase and, most famously, Hugh Hefner. And now Don King, perhaps the only perso...
