The Real Irony Is They Just Mopped That Street
Many years from now, when we all have personal jet packs and Brett Favre finally retires, mop jousting will be as commonplace at buttered toast. ESPN will have four channels devoted to it, all hosted by Mike Golic. Your kid will be in a mop jousting league. Every family will own at least seven mops....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for tonight's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy MLB w/Tristan Cockcroft. I'm tellin' ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Cockcroft. • 1 p.m. NHL w/Scott Burnside: Hockey puck-shaped Krispy Kremes ... an idea whose time has come? • 3 p.m. FB Recruiting w/Craig Haube...
Ryan Leaf About To Be Immortalized On Digital Film
Six months ago, Football Outsiders told the tale of "Leaf: An Almost True Story," a mock-documentary about Ryan Leaf. Apparently, the movie has progressed a bit since then: It looks like it's going to be "released" in October....
Not A Coach, But He Played One On TV
We happily welcome Reggie Theus, mustached oiled man of mystery, back to the NBA, thanks to his new gig as head coach of the Sacramento Kings. Theus, of course, is probably more famous for his modeling and thespian work than his coaching, though he did bring New Mexico State to the NCAA tournament l...
Elijah Dukes Is On The Air
We hope you weren't trying to get through to WDAE Radio on Tuesday, as various members of the Dukes family had the phone lines jammed pretty much all day. We hate when that happens. Tuesday was Fun Day for Ron Diaz and Ian Beckles over at the Ft. Lauderdale station, as an agitated Elijah Dukes calle...
About Last Night ...
What you missed due to the mop fight ... • MLB: It's Twins! Mets fall 9-0, decide to disband. • College baseball: OK, who else is rooting for an Anteaters, Beavers final? • Tennis: There are some who call me ... Tim. Henman advances at Nottingham Open....
Baseball Remains Very Good To Sammy Sosa
As the last smidgen of interleague play fades from our consciousness — and we'll never forget that magical June of 2007! — we lament, for a moment, that tonight's Rangers-Cubs game will be played in Arlington rather than at Wrigley. We would love to see how Sammy Sosa's homecoming to the Friendly Co...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while the new White Stripes melts your face off • College baseball: World Series, at Omaha, UC Irvine vs. Arizona State. ZOT! [ESPN2] • Golf: CVS/pharmacy Charity Classic, final round, at Barrington, R.I. We could go on about this, but it doesn't have anything to do with Tiger's baby, ...
The USFL Lives On Through Golf Scrambles
The Wizard Of Odds tips us off to quite the reunion this weekend: It's the 25th anniversary of the USFL! Yes, the football league in which the most powerful person was Donald Trump — never a good sign....
People ... Vince McMahon Is Not Dead
• Heavens ... it's not too difficult to "fool" WWE fans. [CNBC] • Robinson Cano, ambulance chaser. [New York Times] • Brits, THIS is how football works. [Kissing Suzy Kolber] • The Devil Rays manager is a fan of the Buzzsaw. Figures. [Arizona Republic] • Alexi Lalas somewhat overstates the importanc...
AJ Burnett, Not Dissuaded By A Little DL Trip
A.J. Burnett might be making $55 million over five years, but that's not keeping him off the DL. And it's also not stopping him from racing enormous hot peppers. Money well spent!...
When Your ERA Is 0.04, Nobody Cares Whom You Took To Prom
One of the women in this photo — we're not sure which one, and we're not gonna go try and find out, lest their father hunt us down and call us out in the pages of a national newspaper — is Katie Osburn, a pitcher for Allen Park Cabrini high school in Michigan. Well, we say "a" pitcher, but we really...
College Helps You Spell
One of the main reasons to enjoy the College World Series: The brilliant, obviously university-educated, fan signs in the crowd. That one's from a Mississippi State fan....
Malcolm In The Middle Front Row
The Los Angeles Times has a nifty collection of celebrity photos taken at sporting events on their site today, which got us to thinking: Which LA team had the best celebrity sightings in the fall/winter seasons? One might automatically say the Lakers win this, but not so fast. Let's do a quick tally...
What Now For Lavar?
• How the motorcycle accident caps off what we know about Lavar Arrington's career. [And Here Come The Pretzels] • What Sam Perlozzo did to get himself fired. [Shakedown Sports] • Metroville's crush on Pat Coyle remains, for now, unrequited. [Metroville] • The Detroit Tigers bullpen can be hallucina...
Real Jews Root For The Red Sox
Via Bar Stool Sports — and we're slightly late on this — we learn that American Jewish Life Magazine (not edited by David Hirshey) makes the solid case that all Jews should love the Red Sox and hate the Yankees....
We Welcome Sam Woods To The Planet
A few months back, our own AJ Daulerio wondered what Tiger Woods would name his impending child. Sadly, Tiger did not go with "Urethra;" instead he went with the boring Sam Alexis Woods. SAW. We suppose it's better than ASS....
We Like The Way He Talks And He Likes The Way We Talk, Mmm Hmm
With the news yesterday that running back Quincy Wilson has become the 10th Cincinnati Bengal to be arrested in the past 14 months, we now need the measured, no-nonsense sports commentary of Kige Ramsey more than ever. If you're unfamiliar, just think of him as the Jason Whitlock of Youtube ... if, ...
