The Comeback Pig: Marv Albert, And How To Survive Any Sex Scandal
Today, we are reminded, marks the 15th anniversary of Marv Albert telling a Virginia Circuit Court that he would be pleading innocent to sexually assaulting—biting—his side piece. We thought this, originally published June 27, 2011, would be a nice jaunt down memory lane....
Lions DT Nick Fairley Was Arrested Again Last Night, This Time On DUI And "Eluding" Police Charges
Nick Fairley sure is having a busy off season. In the distant past of April, Fairley was busted in Alabama (around the corner from his mom's house) for marijuana possession. Early this morning, he found himself handcuffed by Alabama police once again....
Where In The World Was Chuck Knoblauch This Weekend?
When a story involving a visibly intoxicated Chuck Knoblauch hitting on women on a late-night Brooklyn subway ride surfaced yesterday, we were surprised and not surprised. Surprised because Knoblauch is about the most random former major leaguer imaginable—a good-to-very-good infielder who won four ...
"A Drunk Chuck Knoblauch Hit On Us On The G Train"
The G Train, after dark, on a weekend, is a place where magical things happen. You may never get to where you actually want to go, but you'll find yourself right where you need to be.

Your '90s High School Movie Cast Power Rankings
American Reunion comes out today, and I'll confess to liking it a bit more than Grierson does. I agree that these characters aren't close to interesting enough to justify four movies, but I can't help but admire the simply, ingenious premise: Just turn it into a high school reunion. It's a bit baffl...
High School Girl Charged With Assault After Brutal Soccer Beatdown
Throw out the formalities when Lewisville and Chester get together, that's what I always say. The South Carolina schools met for a women's soccer match Monday evening, and it ended with the police being called. That New Mexico-BYU game has nothing on this one....
March Madness Strikes Middle School Hoops: Model Parent Beat Assistant Coach Silly For Disciplining His Daughter

The Oregon 5A Girls' High School Championship Ended With A 16-7 Final Score

Report: This Is Terry Francona's New 20-Something Girlfriend [UPDATE: Nope!]
A few months back, the Boston Globe wrote, more or less, that deposed Red Sox manager Terry Francona spent the 2011 season popping pills and wallowing in the wreckage of his failed marriage. The paper said he lived in a hotel all year....
High School Basketball Team Suspended For Racist Pregame Chants
At least twelve girls from Kenmore East High School have been suspended for, among other things, taking part in a pregame chant that goes a little something like this: "One, two, three [N-word]!" Seriously. I copied and pasted it just to be safe. For years, apparently, the girls of Kenmore East Hig...
