Drew And Puppet T.O.
Been watching SportsCenter this morning, and have been greatly enjoying Eagles receiver Terrell Owens' interviews. He's combative, he's amusing, he's strangely lispy. But mostly ... he's being patted on the back by agent Drew Rosenhaus....

Oh, Terrell, You're <em>Terrible!</em>
Today's new angle on Eagles malcontent Terrell Owens: Those abs! The fine folks at OutSports ultimately call Owens a "cancer" — a term we've never been all that fond of, truth be told — but not until they tackle what's really important:...

Ryno's Campaign Against Mustache Rides
We had completely forgotten about this, so we give big mad propers — that's Phil Mushnick-approved "street lingo" — to Can't Stop The Bleeding for reminding us: recent Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, according to observers and tons of rumors, once had steroid stud Rafael Palmeiro traded for sleeping...

Apparently, Stephen A. Smith Is Black
We usually try here to avoid the rantings of fundamentalist Christian stick-in-mud New York Post media columnist Phil Mushnick. He seems to be living in a world that's different than ours, one where all television executives are apparently closet kiddie porn enthusiasts. But we couldn't help but n...
Schilling's Late Night At The ESPYs
There are all kinds of reasons to not get enough rest before a baseball game in which you are required to perform. Maybe you had a crying baby who woke up at inconvenient hours. Perhaps you're jetlagged from an overnighter to Colombia. It's possible that you just, lo, spent a little too much time ...
Mickelson's Wife Openly Mocks Him (Again)
We've always kind of assumed golfer Phil Mickelson's wife is always laughing at him. Her attractiveness level vastly exceeds his — like, vastly — he's more famous for losing at golf than for winning and, all told, he's kind of doof (and a notoriously bad gambler — but we won't get into that here)....
McMichael Gets Early Jump On Training Camp With Wife
Miami Dolphins tight end Randy McMichael was arrested last week for spousal abuse, his second arrest for that charge in the last 13 months. (The good news is that she wasn't pregnant this time.)...
MLB Makes You Work Hard For Their Money
From the useless junk on MLB Auctions department comes this gem: For $1,640 (and counting), the Chicago Cubs will put your ass to work. If you're the winning bidder — auction closes on Friday — you will be "allowed" to work on the grounds crew at Wrigley Field in August, when they play the rapidl...
Trippin' Balls
We have always heard the stories about former Pittsburgh Pirates Dock Ellis and his no-hitter in 1970. If you haven't, the legend has always been that Ellis threw a no-hitter that day while under the influence of LSD. We were never quite sure whether or not to believe it; we saw someone on LSD on...
Bobby Abreu's Otherworldly Restraint
All right, now, we pay pretty close attention to this sports business. (We do it for a living, after all.) But we'll fess up: We had heard nothing about this Bobby Abreu story from last month. Maybe it's because we don't watch Spanish language TV. But still....
Laughing At Phil Jackson Is Always Fun
We're not as crazy about Onion-esque sports comedy site SportsPickle.com as others are. It's nothing against them; it's just that The Onion does what it does, and everyone else is just trying too hard. That said, we had to laugh at this story: Phil Jackson Narrows Coaching Choices Down to Heat, Pi...
In Praise Of The Guy Who Ruined Sports
Marvin Miller is essentially the guy who invented free agency. He demanded player's rights, he fought for pensions, he made the players' union among the most powerful unions on the planet. Gee, thanks, dick. All-baseball.com's Peter Handrinos argues that Miller should be in the Hall of Fame. Handrin...
