ESPN Will Dig Up Your Lifeless Body
A man named Michael Bynum is writing a book about George Gipp, and as part of his research ... he had Gipp's body dug up. (We did not put this level of devotion into our book. Sorry.) As part of their Best College Football Players Of All Time series, an ESPN crew was there for the exhuming. That did...
Joe Torre, Hanging Around, Wondering What's Up
Wouldn't it be strange if, after all the fuss of the last few days, if the Yankees decided to keep Joe Torre after all? It certainly would signify, publicly, at last, that George Steinbrenner is finally being considered the doddering old man he is, and that his rantings are being treated with the se...

Holyfield's Brain Cells Becoming Even Less Effective
Evander Holyfield, a man who has been punched in the face so many times that you have to wonder if he's come full circle and now can calculate pi, is fighting some guy named Sultan for the heavyweight championship in Moscow this weekend. If he wins, he'll be set to fight Wladimir Klitschko for a uni...
You Should See The Portion Of The Costume That Fell Off During Mile 3
If you like marathons, and AJ Daulerio, then feast on this! It's from the Chicago Marathon, via 100 Percent Injury Rate, who got it from some site called Avant/Chicago. The funny part is that when you go there, it's all normal, bland photos of people running, until you trip over this one....
ALDS Game 4 Blogdome: Hello Indians, Goodbye Yankees
What they're saying out there in the ether about Cleveland's 6-4 win over New York that ousted the Yankees from the AL Playoffs ......
Bob Ryan Is Drunk On Basebahol
I've always had a soft-spot for Bob Ryan. Oftentimes I disagree with the guy, but I love the way he puts himself out there (like with Juwanna Joumanna Kidd!). I want you to know that I respect Mr. Ryan and I wouldn't every want to unfairly malign the man. But either the Fenway press box was pouring...
The First Few Rows May Get Bloody
This time it's Pac Man who's coming into the ring as a big favorite and he's carrying some additional baggage. Pacquiao began training with Freddie Roach a month late and in a different country than everyone expected. However the biggest questions being raised do not concern his conditioning. Instea...
Bets O' the Week
Gambling and amateur athletics go together like college girls and booze, here are this weeks college football gambling tips... I'm not going to lie to you, I don't know dick. I'm about as familiar with these games as I was with the Haftorah portion at my Bar Mitzvah, and that shit was two-thirds gib...
Which One Is The Dinosaur? We Keep Forgetting
Who is more despised among Colorado Rockies fans right now; their own mascot, Dinger, or Tony Kornheiser? It's a close call, and there's actually a petition afloat to get rid of one of them once and for all....
Farewell To Pete, Our Good Ol' Chum
One day at the lake: "Hey, nice string of fish you've got there. What are you using for bait?" "I'm using Pete!" A Somerset, England fishing enthusiast has changed his will so that his remains will be used as bait at his favorite fishing spot. And Pete Hodge, 51, says that it could be soon: He has M...
Competitive Eating Anyone Can Love
As we've gotten older, we've attempted to eat a little healthier; we're turning 32 next week, and the body doesn't quite bounce back the way it used to. But we remain a sucker for the corndog. It's a hot dog dipped in lard; what's not to like? (In Mattoon, we call them "pronto pups," by the way. It'...
Tom Brady Loves To Fly And It Shows
Tom Brady's offensive line is fierce in their devotion to him, and that includes, apparently, censoring the in-flight movies on flights to away games. No sooner had the movie begun on the Patriots' flight to Cincinnati last week than a moment during the opening credits proved a bit, um, awkward for ...
