Chairman Belichick's Revenge
Last month, Eric Gillin, editor of Esquire.com and a founding editor of The Black Table, previewed the New England Patriots by comparing them to Communist China. As you might expect, he had plenty to say about these whole videotaping allegations. After the jump, enjoy the continuation of the metapho...

Larry Johnson's Bewildering Denial
So, what do we know about Chiefs running back Larry Johnson? He's probably a little overworked, he went through a nasty contract battle in the offseason and he's best pals with Jay-Z. So when we listen to his the big alleged Larry Johnson anti-Chiefs rant that's all the rage this morning, we are bew...
Here Comes The Hurt Again
Alternate headline: Everybody Hurts (Sometime). If there's such a thing as momentum in sports — as if games are a rolling wheel of cheese and players are stumbling down a grassy English hill — then the Yankees just lost it on the eve of their most important series of the season. A.J. Burnett pitched...
Today In Illict Drug Use
We were awfully relieved to wake up this morning — the worst part about doing the site on the West Coast is that we still have to get out of bed as if we were still on the East Coast; our wakeup call was 4:30 this morning — and pick up our Seattle Times. We love local papers; they're awfully excited...
He Might Get More Votes Than Mike Gravel
You've been blinded by the breathtaking brilliance of Digger Phelps on ESPN for years. Somehow, in the vast barren nation of banality, Phelps has been a beacon of hope and brilliance. So much so that, sheesh, we should elect him President!...

Bill Belichick Is Very, Very Sorry. Just Kidding ... He Couldn't Care Less
Yes, it's the man whom you never thought you'd see leading off Who's Sorry Now, because he never apologizes for anything ... Mr. Bill Belichick. The New England Patriots coach issued a one-paragraph statement 10 minutes before his regular press conference on Wednesday, concerning the Beligate videot...
Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while dropping a dime on Jimmy Two Times ... • Soccer: You tell your king that William Wallace will NOT be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live. Scotland 1, France 0. • MLB: Aaaannd ... we're tied again. Somebody end this. Pirates 7, Brewers 4. • Tennis: Hantuchova (bless you)...
Hawaii Loves Its Haka
The Hawaii Rainbows have taken, to fire themselves up, to doing the Haka before games. The Haka is mostly famous for being the intimidating pregame ritual for the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. Now the Rainbows do it, mostly because their name is the Rainbows. But the WAC is not happy about it,...
What Went Wrong With Beckham And The MLS?
This is the main picture you see of David Beckham anymore; sitting in a luxury box with his oddly named children, watching his "teammates" of the LA Galaxy play (and lose) without him. The rumors about Beckham being "lent" to England appear to be without merit, but, clearly, Beckham's first year in ...
PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life
We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with p...
Isiah Thomas Is Smooth With His Corporate Sponsors
If you haven't been paying attention — and we briefly looked away ourselves — the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment trial is already far more fun than it has any right to be. Yesterday, Anucha Browne Sanders testified about some disagreements she had with Isiah. She had a lot to say, but not nearly as ...
The NFL Should Combat All Those Who Hurt Its Image
In an age of unprecedented NFL scandals, and player being suspended every which way for conduct detrimental to the league, "satire" blog Pray For Mojo brings up something that's ridiculous, yet just based in truth enough to seem a little scary: Suspensions for Tom Brady and Matt Leinart for having c...

You Should See His ... Well, You Know
Cricket is a man's sport. You don't tend the wickets without paying the price, as Engalnd's Dave Morrison shows here in that bastion of journalism integrity and excellence, The Sun. Actually I know nothing of cricket, or the British health care system, but one thing I do know: Dave gives the best e...
