Joakim Noah Is Already Making Friends
Of all the funny love connections that came out of last night's NBA Draft, the one we were most tickled by was the match of Joakim Noah and the Chicago Bulls. Seriously. Look at that guy. He looks like that before comes into the sanitarium that is the NBA. In six years, he's going to have physically...
He Wasn't A Paid Drug Dealer; He Was Just Volunteering
We like Florida head coach Urban Meyer for many reasons, not least of which is the fact that his first name describes a type of city. (We hope to someday name our child "Rural Juror Leitch.") But the reason we really love him is that EDSBS figures he believes if you kick a player off your team for s...
That's How You Note An Achievement
We have to say, it's pretty awesome that on the night each of them reached a career milestone that assured they will be in Hall of Fame, Frank Thomas and Craig Biggio did something stupid/embarrassing within a matter of minutes....
Mark Cuban Is Suing Don Nelson For Knowing His Team
You know, it's possible that Mark Cuban isn't quite over his Mavericks' loss to the Warriors in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. How can we tell? Because he's actually suing Don Nelson for having "confidential information" and using it in the Warriors' victory. He's really doing this....
The Stephen A. Smith Hecklers Return!
We had been told The Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society Of Gentlemen would not be at the NBA Draft this year. We were wrong; oh, how we were....
Look! NBA Draft Analysis!
Obviously, the Internets are gonna be buzzing all day today with draft analysis and all that dirty business, and everyone's gonna be telling you who the winners and losers were after a night where nothing other than the reading of names happened....
NBA Draft Live Blog: Free Darko Is Here
Some sad news, folks: The world-famous Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society Of Gentlemen, responsible for the brilliant SAS draft night heckling video, turned out to be unable to garner tickets to tonight's NBA Draft. This is going to severely diminish the amount of fun we're going to have tomorrow. (S...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch when you're done riding your zebra horse ... • NBA: Draft, at New York. Kevin Durant ... come on down! [ESPN] • Soccer: MLS, Colorado at D.C. United. Apparently they frown on the jersey exchange among fans. [ESPN2] • Golf: Nationwide Tour, Peek'n Peak Classic, first round, at Findley L...
Come "Party" With Daequan Cook
According to the most recent — and, we presume, the final — NBADraft.net projection — Ohio State guard Daequan Cook is slated to be drafted tonight with the 22nd pick by the Charlotte Bobcats. We hope it works out for him, because he's hosting a party tonight, and it's totally gonna be embarrassing ...
How Do They Sleep At Night? On A 10-Foot High Pile Of Money
You might remember back, a few months ago, when we told you about the brothers Silna, the former owners of the ABA St. Louis Spirits who, to this day, get one-seventh of the revenue of all NBA television contracts even though they haven't owned a team in 30 years. Well, with the new NBA/ABC/ESPN con...
Happy Birthday To The Madmen At KSK
This graphic, whipped up by the great twoeightnine at With Leather, signifies a historic anniversary today: The folks at Kissing Suzy Kolber are celebrating their one-year birthday today. It's rather amazing to think it has just been a year since they spawned; they legitimately made last year's most...
Yep: The Kobe Video Guys Are Dorks
This site claims to have pictures of the two guys responsible for that increasingly lame "Kobe Video Rant", smiling with Kobe during happier times. (In other words, right before he spouted off and caused them to think you could sell 25-second video clips on the Web.) It's not confirmed that's reall...
The Pirates Care Not For Your "Protest"
As anyone who has watched a Baltimore Orioles game in the last decade knows, fan protests never work. They're usually more of a boon for the radio station that sponsors them than anyone else. Not that it's a problem; they garner some publicity and allow a bunch more fans to leave a game early, all t...
"Hey, Guys! It's Oliver!"
Maybe we just couldn't muster up the incredible enthusiasm of these "baseball" "players."...
Skip Bayless Would Absolutely Tap That
Because "ESPN First Take" is a revolutionary step in the world of sports programming, Skip Bayless and whoever the other person forced to sit across from him was were discussing who should win ... the ESPYs. (Television at its finest!) Anyway, Bayless did little but drool over Arizona softball star ...
How The "Mighty" Have Fallen
You might remember, almost three years ago, when the Arizona Diamondbacks hired former Met Wally Backman to be their manager before firing him when they discovered an old DUI arrest and his impending bankruptcy. It was a tough break, particularly when he had to take a job managing the South Georgia ...
Rainy And Dumb At Shea
Think about how, on a daily basis, the weather affects your life. Sure, it can be a pain to carry an umbrella on the way to the car, and maybe your mood as you glance out the window from your anonymous, soulless cubicle on the fourth floor. But you can deal with it; it's mostly just something to tal...
