Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...

Marathon Runner Blows Away Field, Receives Bright And Shiny Piece Of Nothing
Foot races are the oldest form of athletic competition there is and even after 4,000 years or so the premise remains the same: Point A to Point B, who ever gets there first wins. Unless you're at the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco, a race that Arien O'Connell foolishly assumed she's won, sim...

Not Possible!: The Legend Of Steve Buckhantz
You may remember me saying earlier that I'm not a huge NBA fan, but maybe that's because I don't get to watch enough games narrated by Steve Buckhantz. The Washington Wizards play-by-play man is shall we say ... easily excitable. Like Gus Johnson-level excitable. And because this is the way things w...
It's Obama And McCain ... AFTER DARK!
So over the weekend, the two candidates for President — Sen. Barack Obama, head of a Muslim sleeper cell, and Sen.

Um, What The Hell, Patriots Fans?
Sorry to start your day off on the wrong foot, but several people have sent this in; a fan at the Monday Night game in Foxboro last night purportedly wearing blackface. I guess that's what this is — a closer shot is shown following the jump — although I'm no expert on such matters. Would Ted Danson ...

Ageless Wonder Hopkins Executes Pavlik (Metaphorically) in Big Upset
Did you ever play that game where you tried to figure out how old you would have to be before you could finally take your dad? High school was too soon, because he had the insurmountable "man strength" intangible. You figured your first real shot would come in your mid-to-late 20s, when you would b...

The Edmonton Oilers Will Not Tolerate Your Live-Blogging Shenanigans
Last Sunday, the proprietor of the Covered in Oil blog was live-blogging the Oilers-Avalanche game. There was just one tiny problem. It was in violation of his press pass, or something.
