More Fallout From Derek Lowe's Banging
More fun with Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe, his soon-to-be-ex-wife and Fox Sports "broadcaster" Carolyn Hughes: The Boston Herald reported this weekend that the Red Sox might have actually used Lowe's alleged infidelities as an excuse not to resign him last year. According to the paper, Lowe showed...
Apparently, Stephen A. Smith Is Black
We usually try here to avoid the rantings of fundamentalist Christian stick-in-mud New York Post media columnist Phil Mushnick. He seems to be living in a world that's different than ours, one where all television executives are apparently closet kiddie porn enthusiasts. But we couldn't help but n...
Sheffield Story Eats Itself

The Sound Of MLB Blogs Silence
If you're looking for insight from Orioles fans on the Rafael Palmeiro steroid situation, what better place than MLB Blogs? Um, yeah. Hello? Anyone? (Sound of crickets). Either there are no O's fans at MLB Blogs — a distinct possibility — or they're laying low, waiting for this to blow over. Th...

Mickelson's Wife Openly Mocks Him (Again)
We've always kind of assumed golfer Phil Mickelson's wife is always laughing at him. Her attractiveness level vastly exceeds his — like, vastly — he's more famous for losing at golf than for winning and, all told, he's kind of doof (and a notoriously bad gambler — but we won't get into that here)....
