John Amaechi Is Keeping Busy
Anybody wondering what John Amaechi has been up to since his coming out — first as a former NBA player, secondly as a gay man — in his book Man In The Middle for ESPN Books? Anybody? Somebody was, right?...

Carl Monday: The Early Years
Ever wonder what drives crusading field journalist Carl Monday? He didn't just pursue the Mike Cooper library case out of thin air; there had to be an underlying force, some childhood trauma, perhaps, which would cause him in later life to obsess over a perfectly ordinary human function. We wonder w...
Meet Hawaii's Stank Football Team
Colt Brennan, quarterback at the University of Hawaii, considered giving up his senior season at Hawaii in favor of the NFL Draft. But he opted to return, because he wants three things: a conference championship for the Warriors, a shot at the Heisman, and some goddamn soap....
The Royals Can't Even Accept Charity Anymore
Is Torii Hunter about to be banned by Major League Baseball for the next three years? Well, probably not, but he certainly could be....

Wisconsin Badgers (28-5) vs. Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders (26-6) When: Friday, 2:35 p.m. Where: Chicago...
Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders
1. The house that Arrow built. TAMUCC has only been part of the Texas A&M system since 1989. In 1998, they hired South Alabama coach Ronnie Arrow to create a Division-I basketball program out of thin air. He did just that, cobbling together a pair of respectable .500 seasons before earning Independe...
Lars, You Scamp...
Ah, the plight of the female sports reporter. If someone's not making a video montage of your ass and putting it on YouTube, than a Norwegian skier is sitting behind you, gesturing that you suck cock. These women deserve raises. Every single one of them....
Change The Alert Level To Blinding White
When you're talking major terrorist targets in our vast world of sport, you need to remember to remain constantly vigilant and to trust no one. And, if you're in danger, just bushwalk your way through the snow on out of there....
Prepare For The Pink Taco In '08
It's never too early, friends: Time to get your thinking caps on about Super Bowl XLII! That's right, next year's Super Bowl — which we will not be glogging — will be at the Buzzsaw Pink Taco Stadium, and they've already come up with the logo. It's not quite Olympic-level Nightmare Fuel — he looks l...
Deconstructing Puppy Bowl III
Normally we would say that we take a back seat to no one when it comes to Puppy Bowl coverage; we love puppies, and even watched a few moments of the Bissell Kitty Halftime Show on Sunday. But we didn't count on Planet Haystack, whose coverage of this event was, well, comprehensive, to say the least...
Losing Weight The Wii Way
Here's a guy we respect: A man who decided to use the Nintendo Wii as his workout routine and ended up losing nine pounds. For years, we had been trying the video game diet with no positive effects. We suppose the "getting up off the couch" principle was what was always holding us back....
Winter Sports, The Full Monty And You
Meet Austrian two-time Olympic bronze medalist Rainer Sch nfelder, shown here shooshing about at a crisp 0.5 degrees Celsius, his privates most likely resembling those of a laboratory mouse. Don't worry girls, it's only shrinkage! See you at the lodge! Thank God the bears are hibernating and didn't ...
This Might Be Why They Wear Those Difficult-To-Take-Off Bodysuits
Because we don't quite provide everything you might need to feed your international skiing jones, you might not necessarily have heard of Silvan Zurbriggen, a Swiss skiier who is in Italy for a big slalom event. He was keeping himself busy, apparently; he was arrested for masturbating outdoors in fr...
Sadly, She Was Only On Level One
What happens when you cross Million Dollar Baby with The Miracle Worker? You get this; which we suppose is video boxing, but could also be a clearcut case of demonic possession. We blame two things for these deeply troubling images: The new wireless Wii remote, and Title IX. Clearly there are flaws ...
The OTHER Japanese Pitching Prize
In a much lower-profile — for the Yankees, anyway — announcement yesterday, the Yankees have won the bidding rights to Kei Igawa, a lefthanded pitcher in Japan, for the apparently bargain-rate discount of $26 million....
Torii Hunter Shall Punish His Glove
Here's a weird tidbit we found in a Sunday notes column from over the weekend: Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter has a biblical sense of equipmental retribution....
Talented, Entertaining, and Dainty... it's Ted Ligety's MySpace
I'll be upfront with you. The entire MySpace craze is lost on me. I don't know why so many people have them, I don't know what they're for, I don't know what they do. But when a gold medal skier posts pictures of himself like that one, I become grateful for MySpace....
You May Have Helped Support Julia Mancuso's Training
Julia Mancuso earned a gold medal in the giant slalom yesterday, and, like many Olympians, she couldn't have done it without the support of her family, particularly her father Ciro Mancuso. "He came over when I was struggling a couple of years ago, arranged to get a car and a trainer in Austria, a...
