Live Blog: Spain Vs. France
A little way to keep yourself entertained during this World Cup if you happen to be the sort who has trouble retaining interest? Pretend the countries are their corresponding characters in "Mike Tyson's Punch Out." Therefore, this one is Don Flamenco vs. Glass Joe. There. Don't you feel better? Yo...
Death On The Rugby Field
So imagine if during a baseball brawl, instead of the usual hijinks of bench-clearing brawls and pretend lemme-at-'em pretense, things got so out of hand that one player actually killed another player. Seems crazy for baseball, but in rugby, apparently, anything goes....

If we were bigger NASCAR fans, we would have certainly known about this earlier — since it happened about a month ago — but we're not, so we needed We Are The Postmen to point it out to us....
Jay The Joke: For All Your Jay Mariotti Mocking Needs
For skewering of our friend Jay Mariotti, quite frankly, we like to think we take a back seat to no one. Well, excepting perhaps Jay the Joke, a new blog dedicated to, as they put it "uniting Cubs fans and Sox fans through a common hatred of Jay Mariotti." And in so doing, does this blog not unite...

Hopeless Geeks Superman Fans Assemble!
In honor of Superman Returns, which opens on Wednesday and is rumored to be pretty good, we pose the question: How is it ruled when a ball is driven underground? (We suspect that this has happened once or twice to Royals' pitchers already this season). If no one can dig it out in time, is it a hom...

We know you couldn't possibly have gotten enough of the great Joe Mikulik yesterday, so here's some more from everyone's favorite minor league manager. First, here's video from the stands, one long unbroken take that starts with the now infamous stolen base and ends with Mikulik exiting stage right ...
Live Blog: Brazil Vs. Ghana
If you're the type of person who's still upset about the United States losing to Ghana last week, you might be lamenting that this could have been the U.S. playing in this game. But you know what? We highly doubt you're that type of person....

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m.. Baseball with Joe Morgan: Hi Joe, I would like to ask an important qu ... wait, just got a phone call. Gotta run. • Noon..

The Manly, Manly Sports Reporters
So we've been noticing something goofy going on with the coverage of the Ozzie Guillen-Jay Mariotti story; on the whole, the sturm und drang seems to be directed away from Guillen, who, after all, is Ozzie Guillen, a guy whose rantings whom we all kind of accept like the drunk uncle at Thanksgivin...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as the roller coaster ride hits the apex, and things begin going downhill ... • College World Series: Game 3, North Carolina vs. Oregon State, at Omaha.
