Hugh Johnson Project - Update 2
Lee Corso's grandson appears to hate him. He had his grandson with him at the end when he did his picks. And he was trying to get him to say "hi" and wave (the kid is probably 6). And the kid looked miserable. Corso had to grab his arm and make it wave. - Josh...
Hugh Johnson Project - Update 1
• You know what I hate? "Oooo-EEE! Spendin' limit? Who cares? Not us, cuz them ain't our currrr-edit cards." That's what I hate....
Eddie Johnson Reminds You That He Does Not Molest Children
It was really not the best of weeks for Phoenix Suns broadcaster (and former Illini) Eddie Johnson. As we mentioned, Johnson was consistently confused with fellow former NBA player Eddie Johnson, who was just arrested and charged with child molestation. Problem is, most people don't know that Eddie ...
No, No, Not THAT Eddie Johnson
Yeah, see, yesterday was just a terrible day to be a former basketball player named Eddie Johnson who happened to not be accused of child molestation....
A Look At The Sunday NBC Crew
Earlier today, new NBC broadcaster — it feels weird to type that; we haven't quite adjusted to the NFL being back on NBC — John Madden went to visit Oakland Raiders camp and hang out with his former player Art Shell, the new coach (again) of the Raiders. Since it's a slow, non-sexual-harassing day...
Chalk One Up For The Little Guy
And so the debate rages: Does Johnny Damon, or doesn't he, suck? We refuse to take sides, but one thing we can report is that our nation's babies are now involved. A New Bedford housewife, still miffed over Damon's defection to the Yankees, had been trying to sell "Johnny Damon Sucks" baby bibs on...
It's Good To Be Jimmy Johnson
Every year or so, former Cowboys and Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson is forced to deny rumors that he's returning to coaching, usually with some sort of "I'm having too much fun relaxing on my boat!" response that does little to squash talk....

More Inappropriate Ball Talk
This time, courtesy of everyone's favorite wise little cartoon canary, ESPN football analyst John Clayton.

In Ozzie Guillen's Corner... John Rocker
In regards to the MLB-mandated sensitivity training, Ozzie Guillen can go one of two ways. He can go to the training, or he can go the John Rocker route. Here are John's thoughts on the situation:...
Hey, It Worked In The Warriors
Our affection for Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson is well-documented, so we're obviously down right giddy to see that, in the offseason, Johnson has, inexplicably, decided to grow a mohawk....
One Awfully Strange Way Of Celebrating
We don't know how we missed this the other evening, but apparently, with seconds left and the Mavericks all set to celebrate, coach Avery Johnson ran down the bench to make a substitution. In all his excitement and hurry, he appears to have pulled a Reggie Evans on Josh Howard....
Color Us Impressed
As we mentioned earlier, Randy Johnson hasn't been pitching well lately. But just to drive that point home, he's now in the record books for a feat that is unlikely to be broken soon; most hits given up with a pink bat. The Yankees played Oakland on Sunday, and of the eight hitters Johnson faced i...
Michael, Magic, And Charles Want To Own Your Team
Magic Johnson is envisioning a plan where he, Michael Jordan, and Charles Barkley would combine to own and run an NBA franchise. I don't know how good that team would actually be, but I don't think there would be any question about which team's owners would be having the most fun in the luxury box...
The Closer: Fear The Awesome Hitting Might Of Mark Mulder
Notes from a day of baseball. • 1. Mulder Gets A Little Raucous During Housewarming Party. When they said that the new Busch Stadium would be a pitcher's ballpark, we didn't know they meant it this way. Cardinals starter Mark Mulder clubbed his first career home run on Monday, right over the new H...

Ah, The Pageantry Of Augusta
This is John Daly teeing off during a practice round at the Masters yesterday, in a photo from The Augusta Chronicle. If you ever had any doubt as to why John Daly is popular, that doubt should now rest. Yes, yes, a tradition unlike any other....
It's Never The Crime, It's Always The Coverup ...
We know football season is five months off, but it may take that long to unravel this mystery. At the risk of going all CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on you, we present the photo above, sent in from a reader with the following note attached:...

John Wetteland Apparently Needs Some Cash
