Our Long National Nightmare Could End Tonight
We're not sure what the official name is for what we'll be doing to the Spurs when if they win the NBA Championship tonight. Will we coronate them? Dub them a dynasty? Crown their asses?...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as about 300 dogs bark and claw at your back door, for some reason. Could it be your shorts? • MLB: Atlanta at Minnesota. And then he calls me a jerk and says the last guy who thought he was a jerk was dead now. So I don't say nothin' and he says, 'What do ya think about that?' So I sa...
Sportsline Columnist On Suicide Mission To Fly
So you know those wacky videos they show every year of some Red Bull event where silly folks try to fly their homemade "airplanes" off a 30-foot cliff? (The 10 best crashes are here.) That's called The Flugtag, and this year, Clay Travis, of CBS Sportsline Claynation fame — and our own Tennessee Tit...

It's Always Lima Time
So here's a question: Whatever happened to Jose Lima? Everybody's favorite 7.80 ERA pitcher with the rather disproportioned wife seemed to have vanished after being mercifully released by the Mets last year. But you cannot keep Jose Lima down. You underestimate Jose Lima at your own risk....
If Detroit Pitchers Played All Nine Positions ...
We have to agree with Bugs and Cranks: Seeing a truly awful defensive play in baseball is darned near as good as seeing a truly great one. The site's Lead Glove Awards are out, and once again we see Manny Ramirez in a place of honor. A couple of our favorite lines:...
Let's Laugh At The Dancing Red Sox Fans
Just to pile on ... some douchey Red Sox fans....
How Mark McGwire Will Get You On Jury Duty
Part of our job is to bring you the best links we can from around the Web, highlighting all the talented people doing amazing things simply because they love it. But the site we think might be the best, and the one we read more religiously than any other, is Viva El Birdos. We don't link it that oft...
Actually, Keep 'Em The Way They Are
• No, don't restructure the playoffs. [Winning The Turnover Battle] • Look, Philadelphians can be nice! [The 700 Level] • Don't trade for Adam Dunn, people.

For Freedom! To The Death! For Bongs!
Thank you, Awful Announcing, thank you tremendously for this random piece of brilliance: It's 300-esque Noodle Fighting on the campus of UC Davis. Somedays we don't miss the aimless shambling of college ... and somedays, like today, we do, oh, how we do....
We Re-Introduce You To The Comedy Stylings Of Sinbad
Last night, in Indianapolis, the Colts were awarded their Super Bowl rings at some sort of soiree. Some sports marketing guy was there and filed a full report. It will come as little surprise to you that the Comedy Ringleader of the evening was ... Sinbad....
Baseball Fans Search For Loopholes On Billy Donovan Night
We are not here to mock you, Billy Donovan. Yes, you backed out of your $27.5 million deal to coach the Orlando Magic; but we feel your pain. Steve Spurrier feels your pain. Homer and Ned feel your pain. And the Fort Myers Miracle minor league baseball team, they ... well, OK, they're here to mock y...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NBA with Chad Ford: Quick! Throw everything out of Quicken Loans Arena that isn't nailed down!

Behind The Scenes Of The Eastern Motors Magic
You might remember those famous Eastern Motors advertisements in Washington D.C., in which various area athletes remind residents that "their job is their credit," through the majesty of song. Well, DC Sports Bog, which is the future, was on set for the taping of the newest commercial, and it's proo...
Whew! Now The Cavaliers Have A Chance!
We would like to formally congratulate LeBron James who, just in time for Game 4, became a father for the second time at 12:15 this morning. The kid's name is "Bryce Maximus James," which is exactly what our parents once considered naming us....
Another Way To Waste Your Workday
As mentioned in the comments below, if you're stuck at work today and love the U.S. Open, you can pretty much watch the whole thing live in HD on your computer at USOpen.com. We have a Mac, which isn't always the best at playing video, but the reception on this is clear and free of burps....
About Last Night ...
