Off To Seattle We Go ...
In about two hours, we'll be hopping on a plane — JetBlue; we love the JetBlue — for the sunny peninsula of Seattle, Washington. (Note: Seattle is neither sunny nor a peninsula.) We've got quite a weekend schedule in Seattle, thanks largely to the fine folks at KJR 950, which has even set up the wo...
Anybody Out There Notice The Indians?
We'll confess, we're as guilty as anyone: No one seems to have noticed that the Cleveland Indians are in striking distance of the best record in baseball....
Hawaii Loves Its Haka
The Hawaii Rainbows have taken, to fire themselves up, to doing the Haka before games. The Haka is mostly famous for being the intimidating pregame ritual for the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. Now the Rainbows do it, mostly because their name is the Rainbows. But the WAC is not happy about it,...
Vote Boulware! (Or Something)
When we think about NFL players of the last 10 years or so we'd imagine running for office someday, we can't say that former Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware was the first guy to come to mind. He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...
What Went Wrong With Beckham And The MLS?
This is the main picture you see of David Beckham anymore; sitting in a luxury box with his oddly named children, watching his "teammates" of the LA Galaxy play (and lose) without him. The rumors about Beckham being "lent" to England appear to be without merit, but, clearly, Beckham's first year in ...
PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life
We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with p...
Isiah Thomas Is Smooth With His Corporate Sponsors
If you haven't been paying attention — and we briefly looked away ourselves — the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment trial is already far more fun than it has any right to be. Yesterday, Anucha Browne Sanders testified about some disagreements she had with Isiah. She had a lot to say, but not nearly as ...
The Worst Days To Be A Buzzsaw
• We disagree with No. 1 — nothing will ever, EVER beat that Bears loss — but this is a compelling list of crushing Buzzsaw losses. [Arizona Sports Hub] • Are Rutgers fans becoming assholes? [College Gameballs] • What they found in the Raiders' Black Hole. [The Sports Hernia] • Who is really controv...
The NFL Should Combat All Those Who Hurt Its Image
In an age of unprecedented NFL scandals, and player being suspended every which way for conduct detrimental to the league, "satire" blog Pray For Mojo brings up something that's ridiculous, yet just based in truth enough to seem a little scary: Suspensions for Tom Brady and Matt Leinart for having c...
Kige Ramsey Is No Sell Out!
It appears our friend Kige is growing larger than we ever could have imagined: He's now doing paid advertisements....
You Should See His ... Well, You Know
Cricket is a man's sport. You don't tend the wickets without paying the price, as Engalnd's Dave Morrison shows here in that bastion of journalism integrity and excellence, The Sun. Actually I know nothing of cricket, or the British health care system, but one thing I do know: Dave gives the best e...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. NFL with Chris Mortenson: Chris, you 've been wrong about a few things. Time to take a break and let Kige Ramsey move into the chair for a week or two? • 2 p.m. NFL blogger Matt Mosely: Yes, but can you glog? • 2 p.m. Baseball ...
Karma Smiles On The Buffalo Bills
As you've surely heard by now, there's some fantastic news about Bills tight end Kevin Everett: He's moving, and doctor's think he'll walk again....
Does Anyone On Earth Own A Fathead?
We ask with genuine curiosity: Who in the world puts a Fathead on their wall? What started out as an odd marketing campaign with Ben Roethlisberger screaming at us to "get a Fathead," or "be a Fathead," or whatever, has clearly grown into ... well, a larger marketing campaign. We've never quite seen...
Will This Be Belichick's Watergate?
So you suppose the question now is: What did Bill Belichick know, and when did he know it? After a Patriots staffer was busted videotaping the Jets sideline on Sunday, the NFL checked out the confiscated tape and — cover your ears, Simmons! — determined that the guy was stealing coaches' signs. Ther...
D-Backs Keep Doing The Bartman
We love the Kiss Cam. We absolutely can't resist it. We have three favorite Kiss Cam moments....
Baseball Remembers, Even If The FDNY Lost
We interrupt our ongoing coverage of HGH, cattle steroids, Bud Selig's befuddled countenance, the gyroball, Barry Bonds' expanding head, Roger Clemens' expanding waistline, Craig Biggio's farewell tour, Joba Chamberlain's welcome tour, Boof Bonser, Rally Squirrel, The Big Tilde, Stubby Clapp, Curt S...
