A Warning To The Women Of San Antonio
This comes our way from Media Take Out, and there's probably no real reason to believe that it's true, but it's a hell of a story nonetheless. A woman claims that she met former New York Knick and current San Antonio Spur Jackie Butler at the 40/40 Club in New York a few months ago....
Luke Donald's Going To Need A Huge Pair Of Balls
I'm going to try to not make this post entirely about Tiger Woods, as tomorrow's golf post will probably be entirely about Tiger Woods. But yeah, Tiger Woods is tied with Luke Donald for the lead of the PGA Championship after 54 holes. Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods....
Yeah, We Want To Simulate THIS Guy
A couple of weeks ago, we told you about JJ Redick's appearance on the cover of NCAA College Hoops 2K7. Well, it turns out, it's much worse than you thought: They're actually doing the whole mo-cap suit thing to simulate his movements....
NBA Rookies, Striking A Pose
Over the weekend, the NBA had its Rookie Photo Shot, which features various NBA pups posing in various manly poses, except for JJ Redick, who of course looks like he's auditioning for the Rock Chalk Dance Team....
Next Up: Gran Turismo!
We are not, as of this writing, professional marketers. We are confused by what people use to sell their products. We skipped class a lot: Sorry....
Keith Van Horn's Contribution To Society Has Been Judged More Valuable Than Yours
We all know and have long ago accepted that professional athletes make too much damn money, but nothing hammers that point home quite like peeking at SI.com's list of the 50 highest-earning American athletes in sports and seeing Chris Webber, Michael Finley, Jason Giambi, and Stephon Marbury all in ...
Men, Keep Your Wives From Bill Belichick
OK, so it turns out that Patriots coach Bill Belichick is quite the swordsman....
What Game Are They Playing Here?
Someone sent us this photo from sort of cricket match this weekend. We don't watch cricket — we know, like, one guy who does, and he doesn't know who Peyton Manning is, if that tells you anything — so we're not up on the rules....

Your Knicks Highlight Video
We have a feeling you could probably put together 15-20 ugly plays by any player, in any sport, and make them look like the worst player on earth. That said, this montage of Malik Rose "highlights" from last season still made us laugh ... mainly just because it's the Knicks. We'd love to see similar...
Your World Cup Halftime Entertainment
Courtesy of Caddychicks.com. What better way to spice up your boring, uneventful round of golf than by hiring young co-eds to ride along with you, get your ball, grab your tee, or,um, just stand around and look hot. If only they had this service for all intramural sports: intramuralsoftballchicks...

Dirk To Cuban: Pipe Down, Sparky
Dirk Nowitzki is taking his leadership role on the Dallas Mavericks seriously. He's not calling out another player, he's not even calling out a coach. He's got issues with team owner Mark Cuban. From an article in the Dallas Morning News, here's Dirk on Cuban's courtside behavior:...

Knicks Fans Share The Love
Earlier today we introduced you (and several NBA GMs, no doubt) to Knicks' No. 1 draft pick Renaldo Balkman. We'd like to formerly thank Isiah Thomas for making this selection, as it makes our job here so much easier than if he, say, picked someone logical. Knicks' fans, however, are not quite as ha...
Rick Reilly's Wide-Eyed Reaction Shots
Back in April, we told you about "The Beer Belly," a contraption that allowed you to sneak beer into stadiums through a fake beer gut. You would then drink there beer through a tube, or something like that....
Isiah Thomas' Secret Genius
While digging through the breathtaking True Hoop coverage, and after watching Jay Bilas look flabbergasted on "SportsCenter" this morning, we are pleased to report that one of the top stories the day after the NBA Draft is a familiar one: Isiah Thomas is an idiot!...
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...
