The Onion, But With Sports!
We'd like to take this moment to congratulate fellow Interweb sports humor site SportsPickle on its 200th "issue" and its fourth birthday. On the whole, we find Onion knockoff sites exhausting, mostly just pale photocopies of the real thing, but we've always liked what ESPN Mag contributor DJ Gall...
Sorry, Man: Gays Like Football Too
Via Towleroad comes this fun little story from the Northwestern football program. Apparently, there's a muchly gay-friendly Web site devoted to Wildcats freshman wide receiver Ross Lane called, understandably, The Ross Lane Fan Club. The site tackles all things Northwestern sporty but has a partic...

Boxing (And "Ultimate Fighting") Hit Rock Bottom
The only way anyone can get to care about boxing anymore is when celebrities hit each other. Henceforth, an upcoming fight between "Fear Factor"'s Joe Rogan and fledgling wanna-be kung-fu star Wesley Snipes. It is indicative of the world of boxing that on boxing Web sites, this has become a semi-b...
Your Source For All Things Evil
It's been around for a while now, but we thought we'd wait a couple of days, until people were starting to forget about the guy, and then we'd drop this on you: FireDrewRosenhaus.com. The site's not just a funny URL, though; it's pretty much the best resource we've found for anti-Rosenhaus vitriol...
Drunk Fat Dudes With Guns
We'll admit: We've been behind on this whole Chicago Bears fighting each other at a shooting range story. We're not sure why: It just kind of fell in that strange corner of the couch where we're always losing the remote. But let's get you up to speed....
Athlete Run-Ins: When Shaq Wants Your Girl
Continuing our string of great athlete run-ins — and by the way, just because the book contest is over doesn't mean we still don't want your stories; send yours to [email protected] — is this tale from "Dan from New York." It's too long to fit in one little post — it's too long for a newspaper to ...
Some Things You See That You Can't Unsee
From the evil-minded souls at Rotten.com — a site best viewed alone in an abandoned, completely dark dorm room, at 4 a.m. — comes a site that has apparently been around a while, though we hadn't seen it: The aptly named SportsDignity.com, which features countless photos of athletes (and fans) is v...

This is a bit trifling so early in the morning, but we don't care, it makes us happy. The auction just closed, but since there were no bids, we're sure it'll come back up: An eBay auction where you can buy Detroit Lions helmet buggy. It is "larger than a golf cart; about the size of a small car" a...
Rock Me Like An Extreme Weather Pattern
Well, it might be easy for Larry Coker and his Miami crew to hide from us, but it's not as easy for them to hide from ESPN. (For now.) Now that the moralists at the worldwide leader (and the AP) have picked up our bit about the Miami football team's rather intense rap, all kinds of heck is breakin...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while making elaborate plans to beat the urinalysis ... • NBA: Kobe's 42 lead Jackson's Lakers over Brown's Knicks (yes, those are their official team names now). • NBA: Not to be outdone, Iverson scores 42 as 76ers win sixth straight. • NHL: Flames beat Red Wings for eighth straight...

Authors With Pure Hearts: Jere Longman
It has been brought to our attention that, as much as people might like our Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks feature, sometimes it's nice to point out good sportswriting.
