Play Sports, Drink Beer
If a serial killer broke into my apartment while I was sleeping in the nude, and I only had enough time to either throw on pair of jeans OR put on some running shoes, I would pick the running shoes every time. Yup. I feel much more vulnerable barefoot than when I'm actually naked. Shoes give me powe...
October Was Not Kind To The Bay Area
It's been a rough couple of weeks for sports fans in the ol' Bay Area. The Warriors look to have lost last year's sexy playoff mojo; the 49ers are struggling to even notch a 100 yards per game; and the Raiders keep finding (fairly impressive) ways to giveaway football games....

Kevin Durant, Trail Blazer
We're longtime fans of the Draft Kevin Durant blog, if just because of the obsessive single-mindedness of it. (Even if it hasn't been updated in a while.) When Greg Oden went down with an injury, it was all the site could do not to cackle....
Yao Vs. Yi: 250 Million Chinese Viewers Can't Be Wrong
It's a fine Friday afternoon as Awful Announcing asks the musical question, is anyone aware that the largest television audience ever for a sporting event could take place tonight? That's right folks, it's Yi vs. Yao! From the Houston Chronicle:...

Cry, Little Messier, Cry
We hope Dick Vermeil is someday elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, because you know he's just gonna go cry crazy. That place will look like New Orleans when he's done with the waterworks. Until that happens, though, we'll just have to make do with Mark Messier's Hall of Fame induction on Mond...
"Frank TV" Destined To Live Up To The Hype
If you were to add up all the time spent promoting "Frank TV" on TBS during the baseball playoffs, we'd guess it totaled about four years. (Give or take.) And how many hours of the show will end up being aired? Thanks to the writers' strike, about four....
Mourning Your Grandmother Is Fineable Offense For Vikings
When we first heard that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver was being docked a game's pay for missing a game for his grandmother's funeral, we figured there had to be a catch. He had a history of skipping practice. He was generally an attitude problem. His grandmother was a Fascist. Something. But nope...
Manute Bol And Spud Webb Can Sell Chicken
We're not going to harp on this, and we're not going to try to steal their luster, so we're just gonna beg you to sprint over to Wizznutzz and check out what is truly "the greatest piece of sports memorabilia of all time....
Clinton Portis Is Happily Weird Again
Via DC Sports Bog, which was invented for this very thing, it's Clinton Portis' newest "character." It's "Choo-Choo." We don't know what it means, and we don't care. It's like the final season of "Arrested Development;" not as inspired as the first go-arounds, but we're all just grateful it's back,...

Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon....
Welcome To The NHL, Kid
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jiri Tlusty is one of the top young prospects in the NHL, and he scored two goals a couple weeks ago despite only being 19 years old. So how is he welcomed to the big time? Some Canadian Perez Hilton knockoff site keeps calling him gay....
Pedro's Offseason Workout Regimen
Far be it from us to tell a professional athlete how to live his/her life, but heavens, Pedro, you're turning into Schilling....
Dennis Dixon Takes Tougher Classes Than Matt Leinart
You might remember a couple of years ago, when everyone had their proverbial panties in a proverbial bunch about Matt Leinart taking only one class his senior year, ballroom dancing. This ultimately didn't turn out well for Leinart; all that extra time just gave him more impregnation opportunities. ...
MLS Exhibition Livened Up By Naked Man
This is from last night's exhibition match between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps. Honestly, if we were a security guard, you couldn't pay us enough to tackle that guy....
This Morning, Ashley Judd Weeps
The college basketball season has barely started — really, it hasn't, not at all — and we've already had three ridiculous upsets (even if two didn't count). This is a welcome break; if you'll remember the NCAA tournament last year, we barely had any. We hope this is a good sign....
