We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. Big East Media Day: Ha! It's July, and you're in school taking notes! • 2 p.m. Sports writer Robert Ward: So who is the straw that stirs your drink? • 3 p.m. Fantasy BB w/Nate Ravitz: In my dream, Boof Bonser is chasing me while ...
Tommy Morrison Is A Deep Thinker
One would think "boxer" Tommy Morrison's constant claims that AIDS is "an invented virus" making money for the drug industry, and that "heterosexuals can't transmit the virus" would inspire people to stop taking him seriously and no longer listen to him. That hasn't worked, but maybe his new enlight...
Elijah Dukes' Divorce Proceedings, Shockingly, Are Getting Nasty
As you probably might expect, the wife of "troubled" Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes is filing for divorce. (This tends to happen when you send your wife's cell phones photos of guns.) She has come up with some not-really-all-that-surprising accusations....
Please Do Not Run Over The Man In The Enormous Thong
If you think the Tour de France is boring, well, you're obviously missing the regular appearances from Borat. We hear they're making a new version of "American Gladiators." We're going to have to insist they all wear this swimsuit....
Phillies Get Started On The Next 10,000
I think we all remember the halcyon days of April 1883; a simpler time, when Chester Allen Arthur was President, the Brooklyn Bridge had just opened and the Philadelphia Phillies franchise had no losses whatsoever....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while solemnly disposing of all your John Gilmore III Presidential campaign posters ... • MLB: Griffey hits No. 587 ... take that, Frank Robinson. • Tennis: Federer, Nadal on collision course again. • Softball: It's the year of the Cat ... U.S, wins World Cup....
Alyssa Milano Makes A New Friend
This might seem like an odd thing for us to say, but we don't actually hate Alyssa Milano's MLB.com blog. Pseudo TV starlets who once played Schwarzenegger's daughter in Commando don't necessarily do it for us anymore, but, well, it's not every day you read the phrase "Butterflies in my tummy" on a ...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you wish that Michael would row that damn boat ashore already ... • MLB: San Francisco at Chicago Cubs. Why not meet at Cubby Bear and watch the game on TV? [ESPN] • Women's softball: World Cup, championship game, at Okla. City. Why is Oklahoma City our softball headquarters? [ESPN2...
Kicking Pepperoni On The Ump
There are so many ways to express your displeasure with an umpire. You can boo; some do this quite effectively. You can send him angry letters. You can say nasty things about him on a message board. Or you can throw pizza at him....
Everything's Coming Up Ohio!
We hadn't realized this, but with the impending Arena Bowl XXI loss by the Columbus Destroyers — a team that's 7-9, by the way; the Arena League lets 7-9 teams in the playoffs? — the state of Ohio is putting together a rather amazing string of crushing losses over the last 12 months....
Everywhere You Look, Pants Parties
We had a grand time at the Philadelphia Pants Party this weekend; it was oddly less drunken than usual — might have been the crushing heat, or perhaps just the Mamula sandwiches — but as grand as we could have hoped. We are consistently amazed by how nice everyone is at all these; we've been to four...
Teach The Children Skills They Can Use
Say what you will, man, but it certainly seems to us that there's a lot of children being left behind. Kids just aren't getting the education they need; our school system is helplessly flawed. Thankfully, one man stands bravely ahead of the pack, doing what he can to teach the youth the skills they ...
Hockey, Commenter Style
• There's a new Deadspin spinoff blog ... and it's about hockey! [Melt Your Face Off] • Careful of the gay porn on the new NHL video game. [Dorothy Mantooth Is A Saint] • A wrapup of that golf tournament you missed this weekend. [Golf Talk] • How can the Giants justify extending Brian Sabean's contr...
Wilfredo Ledezma Is Careless With His Laundry
We haven't done much international travel, and, in fact, we just got our first passport about a year-and-a-half ago. We've heard countless nightmarish stories of people losing their passports and never getting home — we actually stitch it to our kneecap anytime we travel — but Tigers pitcher Wilfred...
Adam Laroche Knows Comedy
You know, it's really difficult to find a species of human being with a more refined sense of humor than a professional baseball player. Hell, the Padres all urinate on each other, after all....
