Andy Reid's Kids Are Not Holding Up The Family Name Very Well
If you think that Eagles fans are annoyed at Andy Reid's sons, consider my position as a diehard Green Hornet supporter. Britt Reid, of course, is Andy Reid's drug-enjoying, car-wrecking son ... but that's also the name of the Green Hornet's alter ego, newspaper publisher Britt Reid. Imagine my chag...
FINALLY, Little League Is Over
Had your fill of kids' baseball for the summer? Jesus, school starts in a week, and we're just now wrapping up. Warner Robins' championship win over Japan was great and all, but don't forget we had to slosh through nearly a month of televised children's programming on to get there; a kind of creepy ...
You're A World Series Hero! Here, Have A Milkshake
As mentioned earlier today, the Little League World Series championship started about an hour and a half ago, and it's Japan vs. Georgia, in an epic battle of which nation's future is brighter. (No, seriously. This game will determine that.)...
Boston-Area Little Leaguers Have Strange Allegiances
Wallpole is located about 20 minutes southwest of Boston. So before the game, the team got a pep talk from Curt Schilling, Coco Crisp and Red Sox manager Terry Francona, and Rando's catch was shown on the scoreboard at Fenway Park. All well and good ... but check out the Walpole team introductions, ...
Bacon Pants: Junior Division
SOMEBODY wants to be a bacon pants when he grows up: Thanks to a perfectly timed hop at the fence, Walpole, Mass. center fielder Michael Rando earned himself a place in Little League World Series history. With the tying runner at third, and a high, arcing shot to straightaway center field, Rando kep...
A False Alarm For Beckham This Weekend
As people are still discussing whether or not David Beckham is really gonna help out the MLS that much, we pause for a moment for an empty moment of non-hype....
ESPN Is Just CRAWLING With Sexual Harassers
On his radio show Friday, ESPN fella Dan LeBatard, because he's out in Miami and apparently no one in Bristol listens out there, had a few choice words to say about the Woody Paige, "Cold Pizza" sexual harassment case. He called ESPN "filled with sexual harassment" and said "it's actually funny." An...
O-State Ballaz!
We congratulate the Oregon State Beavers on their second consecutive College World Series title, particularly because they're a bunch of crazy rapping white guys. The video above is of catcher Mitch Canham, who wants to make sure you check out O State Ballaz, the official hip-hop homepage of the 200...
College Helps You Spell
One of the main reasons to enjoy the College World Series: The brilliant, obviously university-educated, fan signs in the crowd. That one's from a Mississippi State fan....
Our Interview With Harold Reynolds
Friday afternoon, we accepted an invitation to MLB.com's offices in Manhattan for an interview with ... Harold Reynolds. This is the first SHOTY nominee we've interviewed — save for the imaginary conversations with Barbaro that go on in our head every day — and we talked for about an hour on a varie...
Female Jordan Retires Out Of Boredom With The WNBA
Imagine, for a moment, if LeBron James were clinically depressed. If all his natural skill was wasted on a mind that couldn't get its act together; a million dollar body in a 10-cent head, if you will. He would be a tragic figure, Steve Blass writ large, an epic athletics cautionary tale....
Harold Reynolds Is BACK, Baby!
Well, it only took almost a freaking year, but you're never gonna believe who finally has a new job, folks....
The NCAA Hates The Series Of Tubes
So the more and more we think about this NCAA rule about no live-blogging in the press box, the more insane it seems. It might be one of the dumbest Internet decisions we've seen an athletic organization make, and considering Major League Baseball once did a promotion with Creed, that's no small ach...
Harold Reynolds Still Wondering What The Heck Happened
Your friend and ours Harold Reynolds showed up at Safeco Field on Sunday and is still trying to find gainful employment. And he's still not over the whole ESPN thing....
Remembering what Jackie Robinson meant, and who he was
As we prepare for Jackie Robinson Day in baseball on Sunday — the Cardinals, among other teams, are considering having every player wear No. 42, which gives us the unique opportunity of seeing David Eckstein and Brad Thompson pay tribute to Jackie — we thought we would provide our own tribute to a g...
That's Right! TBS Is Doing Non-Braves Games This Year! We Forgot!
These two handsome gentleman were once called "athletes," fairly recently, which is kind of funny, when you look at them....
Ronald, Wooden And Some Teenagers
Last night was the McDonald's All-American Game in Louisville. It attracts a colorful, surreal crowd....
Reynolds Taking Down Misconduct Charges, One Nuke At A Time
You know, we're starting to think the ESPN cafeteria really is like our high school cafeteria. A different clique at every table, awkward social advances and perhaps well-meaning but still odd gestures from the goofy seniors toward the attractive freshmen....
Smoot Isn't The Only One Who Misbehaves On Boats
Gerald Swindle is known as the G-Man, and he likes rock 'n roll music (I'm guessing from his website) and catchin' fish. That's him crying in the picture. He's crying because he's a huge dick....
