Notes On A Scandal
Time to officially remove the mallet from its handsome leather case, striking the silver gong and calling bullshit on this ... but it could be true, I guess. Some dude is claiming that he has Michael Vick's crib notes from his recent apology, and is selling them on eBay. Bidding is up to $2,000, so ...
It's The NFC East Pants Party
Considering the NFL season starts tomorrow, we figured it was probably time to stop dawdling and start previewing. You've seen all our NFL Season Previews — except for Dallas, which we're told is coming — and now it's time to go division-by-division. And do our yearly roundup of picks from around t...
NL Central, What Would We Do Without You, You Crazy Nut?
You mocked the National League's Central Division. Called it the race nobody wanted. But now it's September, and it's the most compelling race in baseball, with three teams within a game of each other atop the standings. You've got Carlos Zambrano pouting into his sippy cup. Rick Ankiel not caring ...
Jeff Reed Loves His Peeps
You know it's almost time for the NFL to start when even more drunken vaguely sexual Jeff Reed photos are hitting the Internets....

Three Days Later, The Upset Still Stuns
As much as we enjoyed the link to all the other Big Ten teams celebrating Michigan's loss, and as happy as we are for Appalachian State — some of whose fans actually saw this coming — we still have to focus on those Michigan fans, who saw their entire season (and perhaps so much more) evaporate in a...
This Potential Chicago Riot Brought To You By The Letter Z
And so we witness the brave veneer begin to crack in the Windy City. The Cubs are still in first in the NL Central — shouldn't that be cause for unbridled joy? — but you'd never know it. Carlos Zambrano had a stinky outing on Monday and was treated to a chorus of boos by the Wrigley unfaithful. Zamb...
Women Are From Venus, Ivanovic's Are From Heaven
While it's always good to see Venus Williams healthy and playing at her peak I can't help but lament the loss of her opponent. Ana Ivanovic (previously featured for her sexiness in these parts by Dan Shanoff) was easily the sexiest creature remaining in the women's draw—although Rafael Nadal sure is...

The Beautiful Game in La Liga
Anybody out there in the land of the readership with a subscription to Gol TV should turn to that channel right this minute!

Clay Is Dry and Ready
While We were all busy watching college football Clay Buchholz was having his way with the Oh-ree-yoles (stupid asbestos) to the tune of zero hits over nine innings. He becomes the third Major Leaguer to throw a no-hitter this season and the 21st rookie to accomplish the feat. Buchholz was as effici...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while making Scott Baker look like a chump... • MLB: Clay Buchholz tossed a no-hitter for Boston. There's one guy who didn't have to pay for sex last night! • CFB: Cal avenged last year's humbling defeat to Tennessee in a primetime shootout. They also covered the spread, which means ...
ESPN4? That Was Supposed to Be A Secret!
Jon Gruden, the diminutive yet effusive head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, told everyone listening exactly what he thinks of the ESPN report linking Bruce Gradkowski to a point shaving investigation. In the midst of defending his quarterback against alleged...allegations(?) Gruden took dead aim...
App State Wins!
Wow, that sure looked impressive from the ten second highlight package! The Division 1-AA (now called something else) champs from Appalachian State came up to the Big House and ran roughshod over the Corn and Blue. For some Dan Shanoff style insta-history let's go to...Dan Shanoff!...
Hugh II: The Nedessy Continues... Pt. 3
BACK COMES MICHIGAN! BACK COMES MICHIGAN! With a touchdown run that Michigan announcer Frank Beckmann described as "a Mike Hart to just have to see, it's undescribable!" Thanks, Frank, I'd love to see it! I hate you, Jim Delany. Not as much as Gary Bettman, but I still hate you. -AsInHowe...
