Big Brown Wins Preakness, Thinks, "Boy, I Am Hungry"
Look. This is Big Brown. This is a horse. We suppose Big Brown is a good-looking, as far as horses go, though we're not sure, from this angle, if we could possibly tell the difference between Big Brown and any other horse on the planet that wasn't, you know, a zebra....
Mets Live Again After Feeding On Yankees' Corpse
Those who live there would know better than I, but doesn't there seem to be a weighty, menacing cloud hovering over the Yankees these days?

To Watch Tonight
What to watch while warming up the grill for a cheese race... • MLB: New York Yankees vs. New York Mets. Yep, plenty of erections in Bristol tonight. [ESPN] • Movie: Knocked Up.

Fun At the Preakness
Near as anyone could tell, today's game of beer-can volleyball broke out when someone flung a brew from on top of an outhouse. That, the surrounding masses realized, looked like jolly good fun.

Tyson Hits Cannes (Not Literally)
James Toback's film Tyson debuted on Friday night at the Cannes Film Festival, and reviews are about what you'd expect (the words "honest" and "self-serving" pop up quite a bit). The film is simple in it's approach, consisting mostly of Tyson speaking directly to the camera about how, and why, he's ...
She Does Not Suck
Candace Parker's WNBA debut went about as well as anyone could have hoped. The Tennessee product led her Los Angeles Sparks to a 99-94 win over the Phoenix Mercury, the league's defending champions.

Juuuuust a Bit Outside of Tolerability
Listen Mr. Uecker, if you don't want stalkers you probably shouldn't be walking around on road trips looking so fucking sexy. This picture, via the tremendous Big League Stew at Yahoo(!) (and several other places) shows the Brewers broadcaster enjoying one of the perks of life on the road, watching...
Preakness: WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's time to let these gargantuan mammals race on their precariously thin legs and I'm pumped!

Introducing Yuriorkis Gamboa
Tonight's tremendous card on HBO's Boxing After Dark (keep reading, you'll like it!) features quite possibly the most exciting young fighter in all of boxing.

Jayhawks Believe They're In the Clear
Darrell Arthur probably shouldn't have been eligible to play for Kansas, but the school's Athletic Director doesn't seem to be too concerned with any ramifications.

Enjoying Porn and Chicken In Vilnius
Thanks to Ballin Europe for bringing us this video of Zalgaris' Marcus Brown speaking after his team's playoff victory. Brown must have consumed a lot of chicken and porn over the years, because the Murray State product is the Euroleague's all-time leading scorer.. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm goin...
Previewing the Running of the Horses
The Preakness Stakes is finally upon us and Maryland students couldn't be more eager to get fucked up in celebration (it's not a real party without Scott Van Pelt).

Wait, Stealing Condoms Is A Crime?
We remember when a friend of ours, in high school, gave us advice, handed down to him by his grandfather, on how to buy condoms. "The trick," he said, "is not to try to slip them in with other purchases, or anything like that. Sorry, man: You just have to steal them." We didn't take that tactic, but...
Sean Avery's Internship At Vogue Begins
When we first heard that Rangers left wing Sean Avery was going to intern for Vogue magazine this summer, once the Rangers were finally eliminated from the playoffs, we assumed it was a joke, or some stunt meant to get Avery a seat next to that weird lady with the crazy glasses at Roger Federer matc...
Jason Giambi And The Yankees Sing The Thong Song
Remember how in Bull Durham, when Nuke LaLoosh wears a garter belt to help relax him on the mound? Well, apparently, Jason Giambi has a similar slumpbusting technique ... though it's perhaps one he shouldn't share with the world....
