Quincy Carter Struggling With His af2 Responsibilities
Because being employed by the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings wasn't enough to hammer convince Quincy Carter that he needs to pull it together, the Battle Wings have suspended him two games for missing team meetings....
Watch Out For That Post, Mate
There's a prevailing stereotype out there that athletes are dumb. Yesterday, Australian Rules Football player Matthew Westfield did his part to see that this stereotype was upheld globally. He ran full-speed into a goal-post, broke it out of the ground, and wasn't phased....

Spurs vs. Jazz: Because They're What's Left
For those of you who haven't yet boycotted the NBA Playoffs, the Western Conference Finals are getting underway in about a half-hour. The Jazz head to San Antonio to take on the Spurs in a battle of teams who beat teams that most people liked a whole lot more than either of these teams....
The Number 30 Is Worth A House
The sale of jersey numbers is a time-honored tradition in sports. A team will sign or trade for a star free-agent, and some other scrub on the roster is already wearing the number that said star has worn his entire career ... and the star will pay the scrub tens of thousands of dollars for his numbe...
Hockey Is Not NBC's Top Priority
It's nice that the NHL has a deal with NBC. It would be even nicer if NBC didn't remind hockey fans just how insignificant their little Canadian game is at every single opportunity....
If There Is No Poontang For Plax, Then Plax Is Leaving
According to the New York Post's Page Six, Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress had a difficult time breaking through the coverage last night....

About Last Night...
• NASCAR: Kevin Harvick wins Nextel All-Star Challenge. That sumbitch knows how to drive. • MLB: Rockies 6, Royals 4. This rivalry is really starting to heat up. • Boxing: Jermain Taylor wins split decision over Cory Spinks. The judges cards: 117-111 for Taylor, 115-113 for Taylor ... and then 117-1...
Mr. Gourcuff Is A Team Player
It's been kind of a slow day (other than the hockey, which has been awesome ... so I'm told), so why not end things with a picture of a French guy who looks like he's about to go down on his AC Milan teammate. The official caption:...

John Denver Would Be So Proud
I post this as a favor to the students and fans of the University of Montana football team. If any of you were out there thinking, "Oh, that's so embarrassing," please allow West Fuckin' Virginia to steal a little bit of your thunder....
I Hope They Sold A Lot Of Those 'We Believe' T-Shirts
• The Warriors owner has some tax problems. [The Sports Oasis] • Video exists of that flight Fred Taylor was on where the door blew open. It doesn't look quite as harrowing as I'd have expected. [Larry Brown Sports] • Matt Schaub is showing some leadership skills with the Texans. I have to assume th...
Consider This Your WNBA Season Preview
It's time to break out the glittered wigs and fanny packs ... the WNBA, or, as I like to call it, Diana Taurasi's secondary source of income, sees their 2007 season kick-off today. The Detroit Shock take on the Sacramento Monarchs at 3:30 on ABC today, which probably has nothing to do with why the W...
Bengal Arrested ... Blah Blah Blah
I would've gotten to this sooner, but I thought it was probably a good idea to wait a few hours, see if any other Bengals got arrested, and then combine them into one post. Alas, they put together an unprecedented 12-hour streak of good behavior....
Chelsea Are Your FA Champions
It must've been a rough morning for our pal David Hirshey. Not only did Chelsea get a 1-0 win when Didier Drogba scored in extra time, but it came at the end of a game that's been described as "rubbish football" and "cack."...
Putting The 'Montana' Back In Tony Montana
When a college football team and a drug cartel are linked, quick, what school might you suspect it would be? Correct, it is the U of M, but it's not that one....
Leonard Davis Gives A Damn About Your Horse
It's the biggest time of the year in horse racing, and you know what that means: total disregard for the health of animals while the rest of us drink bourbon and gamble. But not for Cowboys offensive lineman Leonard Davis. Davis is an equine hero....
That'll Be All, Suns
If you love fast-paced, up-and-down, uptempo basketball, I hope you have a DVR ... because if you're craving anything of that ilk, you might have to watch the conference finals at about 4 times the normal speed....
