Morning Blogdome: They Should Really Stop Stuffing The Holes With Salmon
• New hazards on the Senior Tour seem challenging: A bear scampered across the 13th hole of Broadmoor golf club during the U.S. Senior Open Championship. Neither the bear nor the stunned gallery had to be shot. [Colorado Homers] • He brings much rock: Cowboys' guard Marc Columbo is in a band called ...

Pro Football Hall of Fame Game Live Blog
All right, football zealots. Finally, a televised NFL game (for lack of a better word). It's the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins. John Madden has been dipped in bronze gravy for this joyous occasion, and Al Michaels will be sitting on his knee. Before you follow along after the J-M-P,...
Much, Much More Trouble for 'Rampage' Jackson
Terribly sad news in light of MMA star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's arrest from a couple of weeks ago. You might recall, "Rampage" was taken into custody for driving recklessly and striking several vehicles in the process. After his arrest, no drugs or alcohol were found in his system, and police rel...
Another Unfortunate Night For Super Judah
Personally, I blame Affliction. That douchey brand is intent on draping every fighter in that crap, and now it's forced Zab Judah's signature Star of David to a small space near the inseam of his shorts. And now Super Judah's career as a title contender is almost certainly over. Of course some crap...
Morning Blogdome: Don't Watch Me, Watch the Game
• Erin Andrews kindly asks that you stop leering at her legs, and instead focus on the baseball game: "I think my overall reaction is that it’s really sad that in 2008 … I have people watching every single move I make,” Andrews said. “When there’s a big game between the Cubs and Brewers going on, it...
Oh please, don't let me go to L.A! I'll do anything you ask: "For the Sox, the source said, Ramírez's pledge of good behavior only served as a tacit admission that his disruptive conduct of the last couple of weeks had been calculated, and they had had good cause to suspect more was in the offing if...
Morning Blogdome: Math Is Hard
• Manny, paying full attention as always: Larry Brown brings us this amusing screen-grab of a slightly confused Manny Ramirez last night: "It was the top of the third, and Randy Johnson led off the inning by flying out to Manny in left. To repeat, Randy Johnson was the first batter of the inning an...
Steve Smith Punched a Teammate; Training Camp Has Officially Begun
The fists of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith rudely introduced themselves to teammate Ken Lucas's face yesterday, and both guys were kicked out of practice. Lucas, though, had to be treated for injuries on the field before he was taken to the locker room. I'm sure that did wonders for hi...
The Unforgettable Memories Of That Terrible Manny Ramirez
It was a shame I didn't link to the this Manny farewell column today by Boston Herald writer Gerry Callahan, who gave Manny Ramirez the swift Boston dropkick out of New England that was a little over the top in its good riddance-ness. Callahan destroys Ramirez's character with such viciousness that ...
Eric Montross is Paying Hush Money For John Edwards's Love Child?
Once a Tar Heel always a Tar Heel, I guess. Politics and sports make strange bedfellows. The John Edwards love-child affair hasn't really crossed over into the mainstream media because, honestly, I have no idea why it hasn't. Probably because most of the people who would be reporting on the matter ...

Kenny Irons ("AKA The Franchise") Is "Hongry" For Some Hooters
So he does what any man who is hongry for some Hooters does, he takes a camera in and narrates a trip to the restaurant. I'm sure this video will go a long way towards making Bengals fans feel better about the second round pick their team spent on the Auburn running back. If you've ever wondered wh...
Chinese Nicknames For NBA Players Are Confusing, Fun
From now on, Damon Stoudamire will be referred to on this site by his Chinese nickname: Little Flying Mouse. Likewise Steve Francis (Special Rights), Carmelo Anthony (Sweet Melon) and Manu Ginobili (Argentina's Flying Man). Finally, something fun from the Beijing Olympics. Guess whose nickname is Li...
Ken Lucas Owns A Hyperbaric Chamber, And A Black Eye
Panthers' wide receiver Steve Smith got into it with cornerback Ken Lucas earlier today in training camp, the fracas resulting in Lucas being sped off the practice field in a cart with an ice pack over his left eye. But that's not what caught my attention about Lucas. While looking up background on ...
Morning Blogdome: Hey, Little Lady, You Want To Take A Ride On My Rascal?
• You know I wrote "McMahon!", right?: "The only thing I can tell you about this photo is that it is, indeed, Ex-Bear (and Charger, Eagle, Viking, Packer, Cardinal and Brown) Jim McMahon and it was taken by a friend of TSB last week at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. I have no idea who the lucky ...
Oden, Durant Are Fine Judges Of Talent
Here's a photo from the 2007 ESPYs which I haven't seen before, so I suppose it should be officially submitted to our files. Greg Oden and Kevin Durant certainly appreciate fine things, and by that I mean the award, of course. Look on Oden's face = "Not bad." So the consensus is that the lovely on t...
Mike Nadel Got Your E-mail And Is Actually Quite A Reasonable Fellow
Yesterday's column by Mike Nadel caused a major stir in the sports blogatorium and sports media in general when he crucified America's favorite sideline princess, Erin Andrews, for her wardrobe and flirtatious reporting style while she was covering the last game in the Cubs/Brewers series Wednesday ...
The Day Where The Dodgers Ruined Everyone's Deadline
