Basketball Day? Pfft. Let's Talk Hockey!
I'm Canadian, but I despise ice hockey. While I mostly hold my thrifty parents responsible for this sad, but true fact — they refused to register me in "such an expensive sport" — I guess some of the blame has to fall on my weak-ass ankles, too. Yeah, I can't skate worth a shit. I can't turn in skat...

Some Casting Director Has Their Work Cut Out For Them
Apparently, they'll make a movie about damn near anyone these days. The latest athlete to get the big screen treatment is spectacularly-bearded former Jazz center Mark Eaton. Eaton will be the subject of a film by Stacy Dymalski that will probably not be entitled, "What's Eatin' Mark Eaton?"...

Fred Smoot's jaw is broken in five places as the result of a recent car accident, and he's out of the hospital and recovering, according to Vikings head coach Brad Childress.

Carmelo's Suspension Gives Him More Time To Punch People
It's sort of like Tank Johnson using his time on house arrest to do some firearm shopping online, but Carmelo Anthony has taken up boxing as he waits out his 15-game suspension. Carmelo had taken up boxing as a hobby this offseason, and he's picking it back up now that he's got some extra time on ...
Barbaro's Swan Song
We've all had a lot of fun with the Barbaro phenomenon, sure. But a long time ago we made this solemn vow: Once we came upon a tribute video which consisted of nothing but Barbaro bath photos, set to the music of Bobby Darin's Splish Splash, then that would be the end of it. We would not ... could n...
Doug Johnson Must Be Some Kind Of Douchebag
With a staggering 39% of the vote, Terrell Owens was the "winner" of an SI.com poll among NFL athletes on the subject of the league's most annoying player. Owens was one of only two players to get into a double digit percentage, the other being Joey Porter with a disappointing 10%....

Michigan Legends Are Dropping Like Flies
To the best of my knowledge, there was never a band called "The Dead Gerald Fords," but if such a band does exist, they're going to have to change their name, too.

Kobe Displays His Beef
I know I promised you no more kicker cock, but I don't recall saying anything about nude NBA 2-guards. Mr. Smith mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I thought it deserved its own post. It's not every day you see Kobe Bryant naked, although that might happen more often that it should....
