Bay Area Calls Out Mr. Barkley
So Charles Barkley has been having a little fun at the Bay Area's expense during his TNT commentary on the Mavericks-Warriors series. Saying "Oakland sucks" on national television and wearing a Mavericks jersey, well, fine. While it's a bit like rooting for Margaret Dumont in a Marx Bros. film, we s...
It's Almost As If — NO! — Michael Vick Was Lying
So you know how Michael Vick says he had nothing to do with that whole dog fighting business? Well, SHOCKINGLY, his explanation has some holes in it. Big ones....

Keeps The Hot Side Hot, The Cool Side Cool!
As if tennis weren't odd enough, we give you the half grass, half clay playing surface. On the right is Wimbledon champ Roger Federer, who is unbeaten in 48 matches on grass, and on the left is French Open champ Rafael Nadal, unbeaten in 72 matches on clay. In the middle is a confused referee, and o...
ESPN Trots Out The Barbaro Crazies Again
We have enjoyed, in this week of Barbaro remembrance, the new focus on the kind, not-at-all-unbalanced souls who worship at the altar of the great lost champion, the ones we've been following with somewhat concerned fascination over the last year. Without fail, every reporter who talks to the Dee Mi...
Kobe, Carmelo, Iverson ... Exit Stage Left, Please
Before last night's Suns-Lakers Game 5, Henry at True Hoop looked at just how much the Lakers would change in the offseason if they lost, which, of course, they did. So now it can start. Trade Kobe! For Shaq! Or whatever: We can't imagine Phil Jackson will enjoy being a part of this for too much lon...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while texting Roger Clemens ... • NBA: Suns finally administer that stake in the heart to Lakers. Phoenix 119, LA 110. • MLB: Josh Beckett closing in on team record held by ...

Keyshawn's Final Moments As A Panther
If you want to relieve the sublime comedy of Keyshawn Johnson's "excitement" after learning that the Carolina Panthers drafted his "buddy" Dwayne Jarrett — thus securing his release from the team — the video above has the complete footage. It was funny at the time, but it improves considerably knowi...

Nothing Beats A Toupee Mullet
A story we've been wanting to write for sometime involves the sad plight of the toupee maker. We don't know anyone under the age of 40 who would ever wear a toupee again; these days, it's easier just to shave it. Nobody minds, everyone understands, it even looks kind of cool. But there are hundreds ...
Why You Shouldn't Get A Tattoo In An Extreme Emotional State
We don't have any tattoos, but if we were ever to go through with one, it would have been, obviously, after the Cardinals won the World Series last year. One Cardinals fan had the same idea, and, well, considering his experience, we're glad we didn't go through with it....
He Makes His Own Holes
In the sixth round of the NFL Draft on Sunday, the Miami Dolphins selected Hawaii running back Reagan Mauia, a cannonball who was actually named after Ronald Reagan. And, as this video shows, he's a fan of the X-Men and loves to smash himself into things....

Behold, The Power Of Beer
You scoffed when Brewers' fans predicted big things for their team this season. But then they rolled out the Mighty 12-Person Beer Bong, and, well, who's laughing now, bitches?...
What Should Happen To All People Who Wear White Levis
This is an old video, but we've never seen it before, which is odd, because we have every episode of Hard Copy on DVD. So a bully smacks around a few people and is feeling pretty good about himself, until an ex-boxer steps in and administers a little vigilante justice. So many things to hold our int...
