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...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after you get home a little bit earlier than anticipated ... • Arena football: Los Angeles at Arizona. Can't wait for this; my hovercraft is full of eels. [ESPN2] • College baseball: NCAA Division I, super regionals, teams TBA, at Wichita. We love college baseball, in a non-professiona...
Boston Media Will Now Officially Cover Anything (And So Will We)
Because no Boston Red Sox stone shall be left unturned over NESN, Scott's Shots points out an odd video that features Manny getting intimate in his hotel room — watch yo mouth! — with his hairdresser, named LMonstro. (You have to sit through an annoying ad to watch the video.)...
There Is Such A Thing As Too Much Sports Cream
• Apparently you have to be careful with your Ben Gay. [ESPN] • ESPN really loves themselves some Patriots. [The Big Lead] • More fun with Julian Tavarez. [The Smittblog] • The umpires in baseball might be out of control again. [Out Of Right Field] • Well, somebody's into the MLS, anyway. [Informati...
Ichiro Does Not Think Cleveland Rocks
If it's Monday, it must be time for Ichiro Suzuki Quote Theater. This week's entry concerns the Mariners' makeup game in Cleveland, and Ichiro's clear desire not to be there....
Your College Hoops Video Game Just Got More Annoying
You might have thought it strange or #### to see J.J. Redick fitted in those motion capture sensors for the NCAA video game last year, but that's nothing compared to the three Florida fellas on the cover of this year's game....
That Girl In The T-Shirt Ads Is Just Not That Into You
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
So A Blogger And A Pig Walk Into A Press Box ...
There are many ways to be thrown out of a college baseball press box (removing our pants and using them to try and snag foul balls has always been our favorite). But University of Louisville reporter Brian Bennett has discovered a new one. For the heinous crime of blogging from the press box during ...
Trouble In Denver
• It was a busy weekend to be a Denver Nugget. [Colorado Homers] • Who exactly was offered for the Trail Blazers' No. 1 pick? [You Been Blinded] • You had to pity a Pirates fan this weekend. [My Brain Says Rage] • Pay attention to the Gold Cup, people. [The Beautiful Game] • The new hand of God. [Th...
Gilbert Arenas Has A Lot Of Baby Stuff To Buy
The Washington Wizards say that they're not surprised that Agent Zero plans to opt out of the final year of his contract, turning down the team's offer of a three-year extension. Arenas signed a six-year, $65 million deal with the team in 2003, but says that he can make bigger money through free age...
Who's Now, America? WHO'S NOW?
Oh, how to fill those dog days of summer, when the sports marketplace bleeds into a repetitive cycle of baseball highlights and reports from NFL minicamp. (And occasional WNBA scores.) ESPN has come up with a clever way of spicing matters up. And by "clever," we mean, "soul-crushingly lame." And it'...
The Sopranos Hold Onto That Feeling
Now that we've all had time to calm down and process last night's final episode of "The Sopranos" — and not screaming like a freaking crazy person — we find ourselves, strangely, pleasantly disappointed. Many have said the whole show was a series of head-fakes and jump-starts, but we're not sure abo...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 1 p.m. NFL with Scouts' Ken Moll: So how about Duante Culpepper quarterbacking the Falcons this season? • 2 p.m. Hall of Famer Jim Palmer: Your infamous underwear ad has scarred two generations, and many generations to come. Regrets? •...

We Congratulate The Spurs On Their Fourth Title
Well, it's certainly starting to look like we're all witnesses to Tim Duncan methodically steamrolling to his fourth NBA title. (That would tie him with Shaq, by the way.) What was most distressing about the Spurs' 103-92 Game 2 win over the Cavaliers last night was that it was over so early; the ou...

Miami Cops Just Want To Have Fun
Before we get into "The Sopranos" and Tim Duncan and an odd new reality "show" ESPN's starting, we thought we'd bring up this little nugget of potential amusement, from yesterday's Palm Beach Post, via our man Lt. Winslow. It appears that the cops who arrested Tony La Russa back in March were comple...

Thank You, Deadspin, And Goodnight!
The past two days have been so much fun that they've reminded me of nothing if not... groin shots. One long string of groin shots. Now, I know this "too-hot-for-TV" beer ad has made the rounds, but — just like the genre was at the Springfield Film Festival — you simply can't get enough of it. I figu...
