Oscar De La Hoya Is Feeling Even More Pretty Than Usual
We're not sure what the heck was going through Oscar de la Hoya's mind when he posed for these photos, and, frankly, we probably don't want to. There's another after the jump, and you can find the whole sordid spread right here. Yipes....
The Knicks Know How To Handle A Problem
The Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case updates will come earlier today, mainly because we really can't get over just how Cro-Magnon Madison Square Garden appears to be as a place of business. We know a couple of women who work over there ourselves, actually, and we want to tell them to get the hell...
Isiah Thomas Is A Cunning Linguist
Considering all that's going on in the Isiah Thomas harassment trial, we find it difficult to keep up. If we aren't careful, we'll make every post about it. Anyway, here's yesterday's highlights, with more, surely, to come tomorrow....
Leave Bill Belichick Alone!
This guy must have watched the Crazy Britney Fan video at least fifty times to achieve this degree of nuance, and for that I salute him. He also gets a couple points for the Brady jersey. Not sure about the touque, though. I managed not to laugh out loud until near the end, when he slipped in one fi...
The Day The Poon Died ...
I don't wish to put a damper on your college football fun, but I have very bad news. So, please, stop what you're doing for a second, sit down, and maybe chug some hard liquor. SEC Poon is dead. (I'm sorry.)...

Chairman Belichick's Revenge
Last month, Eric Gillin, editor of Esquire.com and a founding editor of The Black Table, previewed the New England Patriots by comparing them to Communist China. As you might expect, he had plenty to say about these whole videotaping allegations. After the jump, enjoy the continuation of the metapho...
Belichick Is So Grounded It's Not Even Funny

Bill Belichick Is Very, Very Sorry. Just Kidding ... He Couldn't Care Less
Yes, it's the man whom you never thought you'd see leading off Who's Sorry Now, because he never apologizes for anything ... Mr. Bill Belichick. The New England Patriots coach issued a one-paragraph statement 10 minutes before his regular press conference on Wednesday, concerning the Beligate videot...
Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
Isiah Thomas Is Smooth With His Corporate Sponsors
If you haven't been paying attention — and we briefly looked away ourselves — the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment trial is already far more fun than it has any right to be. Yesterday, Anucha Browne Sanders testified about some disagreements she had with Isiah. She had a lot to say, but not nearly as ...
You Should See His ... Well, You Know
Cricket is a man's sport. You don't tend the wickets without paying the price, as Engalnd's Dave Morrison shows here in that bastion of journalism integrity and excellence, The Sun. Actually I know nothing of cricket, or the British health care system, but one thing I do know: Dave gives the best e...
Will This Be Belichick's Watergate?
So you suppose the question now is: What did Bill Belichick know, and when did he know it? After a Patriots staffer was busted videotaping the Jets sideline on Sunday, the NFL checked out the confiscated tape and — cover your ears, Simmons! — determined that the guy was stealing coaches' signs. Ther...
It Won't Be Much Longer Now
Last year, on August 14, 2006, we admitted that if this annoying team actually won the World Series, we'd feel they didn't deserve it. We have changed our viewpoint on that. (Obviously.) But we were off by a year and a month: This Cardinals team stinks. We'd almost rather watch the Buzzsaw....
Soon, You Will Hear Tales Of Isiah's Smooth Talk
If you believe both sides involved in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, the trial that's scheduled to begin today, justice will be served and a full trial will be played out. But anyone who knows anything about the law is practically begging both sides to settle....
Why The Radio Silence From The Cardinals?
It has been about 15 hours since the Rick Ankiel story broke, and so far, the only public comment has been Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty's clearly confused, wha-wha-WHAT? quote of "This is the first I've heard of this; If it's true, obviously it would be very tragic, along with everything ...
What We Lost, And What We Never Had
The Rick Ankiel thing, for Cardinals fans, has always been about hope. There was hope in 2000, when we thought we had discovered a 19-year-old Steve Carlton. There was hope in 2001 when we believed a young man could conquer his demons. There was hope in 2003 when we anguished as another young star w...
Roy Hobbs Strikes Again ... And Again
Since the weekend we spent in St. Louis for Rick Ankiel's first games, we've done our best to take it easy on the coverage around here. Not because we didn't want to, but because we were afraid if we kept down that road, before we knew it, every post would be about him. And you might not like that....
Introducing Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo
We are extremely excited to introduce Kissing Suzy Kolber's Big Daddy Drew's brand new column, which will run every Thursday during the NFL season. It'll preview the weekend's action, occasionally digress and mostly revel in the joy and anticipation we all feel at the end of every week, knowing th...
