I'll Have Another Scratched From Belmont Stakes
There will be no Triple Crown this year, either.

O'Neill also thinks I'll Have Another wi...
Trent Williams Owns A Painting Of Himself As A Gorilla, Because Of Course He Does
Redskins tackle Trent Williams has a nickname: Silverback. It's a self-bestowed nickname, but he's really committed to the idea. He dropped six figures on a massive diamond gorilla head chain, had Roger Goodell introduce him as Silverback when he was drafted, and apparently has remodeled his basemen...

Watch Charlie Manuel Read Phillies Players' Tweets Out Loud
I went to the MLB Fan Cave about a year ago. The place bummed me out. Two aspiring actors—actors, in the sense that they'd be good fits to play Turtle in Entourage: the Musical—sat before a lot of TV screens and Pepsi Max ads. Now I think back on it, there was bottomless Pepsi Max. And Bud Light, in...
Todd Frazier Can Do Anything Better Than Anyone
OK, this is getting ridiculous. After telling you all about Reds third baseman Todd Frazier's Herculean accomplishments on and off the field, and uncovering his status as the prodigal son of Toms River, N.J., we were pretty certain that the man couldn't get any more like like Bill Brasky. We were wr...
Bill Maher Buys A Piece Of The Mets

Hockey Killed Derek Boogaard
Hockey doesn't show up on a toxicology report. The coroner will tell you that it was too much alcohol and too much oxycodone that stopped Boogaard's heart on an early morning last May, and the NHL will tell you the same. But it was hockey that caused Boogaard to turn to pills, hockey that caused him...

Lauren Tannehill Is Doing Maxim
Two weeks ago, photographer Roger Snider did a pair of shoots with Lauren Tannehill, the wife of Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill. He doesn't say for whom, but according to LobShots, it's for Maxim.

Who Gave The Green Light To Release The Saints' Bounty Tape?
When documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon released the Bountygate audio back in early April, was he acting on his own?

I'll Have Another Barely Escapes Assassin Horse (Shadowy Steinbrenner Cabal Update!)
At Belmont Park today, a still-unidentified horse took a gallop at I'll Have Another, just nine days before he makes his run at the Triple Crown.

Curt Schilling Blames Government For Pointing Out That 38 Studios Was Broke
Not a great month for Curt Schilling. Forget all that business about his video game company missing payroll, missing loan payments, bouncing a check, and laying off every single employee. You know whose fault those were? The government, for going public with the bad news. Earlier this week Schilling...
Phillies Fan Goes Knuckle-Deep
I'm not sure what this Phillies fan, who made it up to Citi Field for last night's win over the Mets, should be more embarrassed about. The fact that the cameras perfectly caught him prospecting for green gold, or that he's wearing a division championship shirt. (H/T Debra)...
