Roy Halladay Accuses Ken Rosenthal Of Throwing Some Shit Against The Wall
It's one thing when an intern indulges a little skepticism about Ken Rosenthal's rumor-mongering. Now, though, it's Phillies ace Roy Halladay. Yesterday, after Halladay was roughed up in his latest spring outing, Rosenthal cited the observations of two scouts who "expressed concern" about Halladay:...
Police Pointed A Gun At Zach Randolph While He Was In Bed With A Woman
No charges were filed relating to a mansion party hosted by Zach Randolph outside of Portland last year, where a marijuana dealer alleged he was assaulted by Randolph's entourage after a "disagreement in price" over the weed he was selling. This week, police have released a trove of documents relati...
AHL Player Turns Into Crazy Person, Decides To Fight Everybody And Their Goalie
Steve MacIntyre is one of those guys who's always up and down from the NHL, and garners more penalty minutes than scoring chances. So, even with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, he's exactly the sort you'd expect to completely lose his mind and challenge the entire opposing team to a fight. All...
Danilo Gallinari Goes Crossover, Behind The Back, No-Look Pass
For a guy who stands 6-10, Danilo Gallinari is an exceptional ball-handler. Here he is last night with a reminder for the Grizzlies' Quincy Pondexter....
Sure, Jonathan Papelbon Would Have Talked To The Yankees If They Were Interested
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Paps reminds you that rivalries exist in the minds of fans alone....
Shaking The Basket Is Not The Best Way To Try To Distract A Free-Throw Shooter
Because people are going to notice, and they're going to stop the game, and they're going to tell you to cut it out. Just like what happened when a few Montana fans gave it a go during last night's Big Sky final against Weber State....
Montana Is Going Dancing
Congratulations to the Montana Grizzlies , who in beating Weber State 85-66 won the Big Sky tournament and punched their ticket to the dance. [ESPN2]...
Lenny Dykstra's Accountant Wanted To Launch A Charlie Sheen Energy Drink
The latest issue of Sports Illustrated has a feature by David Epstein about the human flotsam that is Lenny Dykstra, who was sentenced on Monday to three years in California state prison after pleading no contest to grand theft auto and filing a false financial statement. Epstein spoke with an LAPD ...
The Guy From The Dropkick Murphys Would Like You To Know He Didn't Really Say Jonathan Papelbon Couldn't Use His Entrance Music
Yesterday, ESPN Music(?!) reported that Ken Casey, vocalist for the Dropkick Murphys, did not want Jonathan Papelbon using his old entrance song. That song, "I'm Shipping Up To Boston," is reserved for the Red Sox closer, Casey supposedly said, and now that Papelbon is in Philadelphia, he's no longe...
The Dropkick Murphys Won't Let Jonathan Papelbon Use His Old Entrance Music (Update)
For the longest time (or at least since The Departed made it famous), Jonathan Papelbon has been entering to the bagpipes-and-guitars opening riff of the Dropkick Murphys' "I'm Shipping Up To Boston." It made sense. The song is instantly recognizable, catchy, and it's about Boston....
Here's How Oakland Squandered A Late 11-Point Lead And Was Upset By Southern Utah
"The Badlands Conference" is my favorite nickname for the Summit League, and it's an apt name given the conference tournament takes place in South Dakota, home to Badlands National Park. Last night's Summit quarterfinal between sixth-seed Southern Utah and third-seeded Oakland left the Golden Gri...
When Is A Goalie Not A Goalie? When He's A Center Forced To Stand In Net And Pray
With the backup goalie unavailable and the starter injured just two minutes into the game, the Erie Otters of the OHL were forced to turn to little-used center Connor Crisp. Crisp, who hadn't played goalie in organized hockey since he was five years old, threw on some secondhand pads and skates an...
The U.S. Beat Italy For The First Time Ever Thanks To This Clint Dempsey Goal
With Landon Donovan unfit to take the pitch, the U.S. wasn't given much chance to beat Italy in today's international friendly match in Genoa. But Clint Dempsey—scoring machine for Fulham of late—drew first blood for the Yanks off a timely pass from Jozy Altidore. It was the first non-penalty sco...

Bill Murray Is Wearing A Ghillie Suit And Punting Footballs At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am
I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A. Points) is competing today at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in a ghillie suit, what appear to be gardening gloves, and at one point he punted a football into the crowd. It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...
Nationals "Take Back The Park" From Phillies Fans, Give It Right Back To Them
Every time the Phillies visit Nationals Park, it feels like a home game for them. The stands are filled with fans who made the two-hour drive south to cheer for the Phillies, and it’s disheartening for Nats fans to be outnumbered in their own stadium. The same thing happens when the Yankees visit Ba...
Report: Allen Iverson In Talks To Play In Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rican league is basically trying to sell the 36-year-old Iverson an opportunity to prove himself to teams in the NBA. It's not like he's already tried to do this or anything. [Yahoo!]...
Apparently Darko Milicic Never Invests Any Of His Money, Or Even Puts It In A Bank
Former NBA scrub Casey Jacobsen—not to be confused with former MLB scrub Bucky Jacobsen—blogs occasionally for SLAM from Germany, where he now plays for Brose Baskets. His most recent post, where he describes his NBA teammates with senior superlatives, offers a real gem about Darko:...
Pat Burrell Is Retiring, But "The Machine" Just Might Live On
MLB Trade Rumors had it first, and noted rich guy Jon Heyman confirmed on Twitter: Pat Burrell is retiring. The thumping, lumbering outfielder posted a .253/.361/.472 line in 12 MLB seasons, most of them with the Phillies. He had ranked 25th among active players in home runs. He won two World Series...
