The Final Death Knell For ESPN Mobile
We know you don't need us to occasionally remind you just how much of a disaster ESPN Mobile has been for the Worldwide Leader ... but we thought we'd go ahead and try anyway....
Leftovers: Getting To The Bottom Of Tillman
• So here's the best thing the ESPN E Ticket has ever done. [ESPN] • Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo, still fighting. [Boston Herald] • The only possible explanation we have seen so far that makes sense as to why Barbaro is so "popular." [The Mighty MJD] • Aw, an NFC West preview. We can never get enough...
Where To Get Your NCAA Football 2007 Rosters
This was covered rather thoroughly in the awesome entertaining NCAA Football 2007 comments thread yesterday, but in case anybody didn't sift out the information, there are two sites, we're told, where you can get the rosters for NCAA Football 2007, on PS2 or XBOX....
Whitlock Tells Us How He Really Feels About Scoop
In case there were any lingering doubt what ESPN.com columnist Jason Whitlock thinks of ESPN.com columnist Scoop Jackson, allow Whitlock's Kansas City Star column should clear it up for you. In a column about a study showing how white the sports journalism industry is and what that means, or doesn...
Blogdome: Shea Buttered
• Boy, Shea Hillenbrand is a little fussy right now, no? [The Hater Nation] • You, too, could party with Mike James. [10,000 Takes] • True Hoop has all you need to know about the Sonics business. [True Hoop] • This probably makes more sense than we'd like to admit. [Rubber Arm] • Look at all those N...
Ladies And Gentlemen, Meet Lucious Pusey
The Realests are going bonkers this morning over their latest discovery, but we have to say that we do not find this funny at all. What is so hilarious, after all, about a college football player named Lucious Pusey? (Roman guard begins to giggle). Centurion, why do they titter so? Just because I ...
The Return Of Portis' Head
We supposed part of us should be depressed by the news that Clinton Portis is taking his strangely brilliant "characters" from last season's Redskins press conferences and using them to shill for the NFL Network, but we can't quite summon up much outrage. Honestly? We're just happy to see the char...
Exit, Stage Right
For the record, we would have done the same thing: Here's a video that's old, but has never appeared here, of pitcher Masanori Ishikawa of the Yakult Swallows, plunking former American major leaguer Tony Batista of the SoftBank Hawks in a Japanese League game. When it appeared that the rather imposi...
Here Comes Landis!
OK, after we poked a little fun at him yesterday, we've gotta point out: American cyclist Floyd Landis appears to be a total badass. Today, after being counted out of the Tour de France after collapsing yesterday, he blasted by everyone to win the stage and slip just 30 seconds behind the leaders....
Men, Keep Your Wives From Bill Belichick
OK, so it turns out that Patriots coach Bill Belichick is quite the swordsman....
Who Loves Ya, Baby?
We find it hysterical that we live in a day and age that it's legitimately shocking news when a two-time NBA MVP shaves his head. We're not quite sure what Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash was thinking when he decided to shear all his locks, but we're imagining it involved either Molson or an e...
Boy, This Busch Stadium Place Is Great
Five minutes before first pitch at 7:05 at Busch Stadium last night, all was well. We were sitting in the bleachers with our father and our fiancee, scorebook and four pens in hand, watching David Eckstein toss pop-ups with a kid who had won some contest. It was hot, but it had been hot all week, ...
Sammy And The Cubs, Together Again?
In case you thought Sammy Sosa was out of baseball for good, and you were really broken up about that, well, there's hope. Sosa told a radio station in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday that he is not retired, and would resume his major-league career for the right offer. That, according to ESPN....

About Last Night
What you missed while reinventing the wheel ... • MLB: Let us now tell you a story of Craig Monroe, a grand slam, and a rare win by the Tigers over the White Sox. Wait, that is pretty much the story. • Tour de France: The Floyd Landis Era ends rather suddenly. • Tennis: Former No. 1 Marat Safin fall...
Time For College Football, Already, And It's About Time
Every Day Should Be Saturday is your one-stop shop for everything college football related — even NCAA Football 2007-related — and if you're not going there every day already, sheesh, why not? And just as a quick primer, here's an excellent rundown of the best names in college football this year. ...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while waiting for Godot ... • Boxing: Welterweights, Antonio "Seafood Platter" Mesquita vs. Santo "The Hobbit" Pakau, at Ontario, Calif. Yes, we invented those nicknames just now. Why do you ask? [ESPN] • MLB: Chicago White Sox at Detroit. Shouldn't this be a closer divisional race tha...
The Careful Way To Wedding Plan
With the first leg of the wedding season behind us and the next — in the September range, we think — someone finally asks a perfectly legitimate question: When is an appropriate time to have a wedding without getting in the way of appropriate sports viewing time?...
Leftovers: Shackelford Unshackled
• Reds pitcher Shackelford exonerated. [Cincinnati Enquirer] • Anybody else think it's weird that the editor of TigerWoods.com is writing for ESPN.com about Tiger Woods? [ESPN] • If you're curious what Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla sound like on the radio, here's some MP3s! [Adam FreeFM] • Instead o...
