We're Apparently Going To The Wrong Bars
You might have heard about Jeff Adams, the world-class wheelchair athlete who claimed a woman placed cocaine in his mouth, and that's why he later failed a drug test.

We don't know why more athlete/celebrity bodyguards don't write tell-alls. (It's entirely possible they don't know how to write.) It seems like they'd have all the best stories, going to the places no one else is allowed to touch....

Even If You Wanted To Watch The NHL, You Couldn't
If you were wanting to watch the NHL Awards on Versus last night — and you were, of course — you probably noticed that they weren't on at the time they were supposed to be. In fact, they ran two hours late, taped, with some sort of "Toughman" competition on instead. Literally dozens of NHL fans were...

Your Gripping NBA Champions
It is probably not a good sign that the morning after we crown a new NBA champion — and we do congratulate the Spurs, sure — more people are emailing us about a guy who hasn't been in the NBA for 11 years than they are about the game.

What to watch as about 300 dogs bark and claw at your back door, for some reason. Could it be your shorts? • MLB: Atlanta at Minnesota.

If Detroit Pitchers Played All Nine Positions ...
We have to agree with Bugs and Cranks: Seeing a truly awful defensive play in baseball is darned near as good as seeing a truly great one. The site's Lead Glove Awards are out, and once again we see Manny Ramirez in a place of honor. A couple of our favorite lines:...
