Our Version Of The Joslyn Morse Photos
Friday, good ole With Leather posted the naked photos of A-Rod's lady friend, and our friends at Fleshbot have them today....
Gary Sheffield Is Full Of Opinions
As we sift through the carnage of yet another Gary Sheffield interview — and the accompanying brilliant Dugout reaction — we take a look back at the quotable career of Gary Sheffield. 100 Percent Injury Rate has compiled some of Gary's greatest hits throughout the years. Here are a few of our favori...
Lemme At 'Em! Lemme At 'Em!
Twice a year, members of the New York media play members of the Boston media in baseball. This is surely amusing to watch — fat guys fielding grounders is always a reliable source of comedy — but yesterday, at Fenway Park, there was a truly beautiful happening: They almost had a bench-clearing brawl...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 2 p.m. NBA Insider John Hollinger: Looking forward to Game 6 of the Finals on the Fourth of July? • 2:30 p.m. AFL's Crush DB Rashad Floyd: What's more futile, AFL defensive back or air hockey goalie? • 4 p.m. NCAA BB with Andy Katz: I ...
Donovan, Beckham Each Politely Request A Mulligan
It's buyer's remorse day here at Who's Sorry Now, as Billy Donovan and David Beckham each ask the musical question: What exactly is the cooling off period for switching high-profile sports jobs? In Donovan's case, on Friday he decided to leave the Florida Gators to take the Orlando Magic job, then t...
Eric Mangini Enjoys Vesuvio's
We like Jets coach Eric Mangini, even if he's way too young to be that football-coach tubby. But we — as obsessed "Sopranos" fans since the very first episode — hope he understands the honor bestowed upon him. He cameoed last night on what was one of the most intense, breathtaking episodes of the mo...
Thanks, LeBron, From Everybody
Because it happened over the weekend, we didn't get a chance to appropriately salute LeBron James and the Cavaliers not only for reaching the NBA Finals, but giving us a reason to watch those Finals. As the whole Cleveland area goes nuts, we note that even Spurs fans are happy with how this turned o...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while holed up in the attic, waiting the apocalypse ... • MLB: Lou Piniella watches on TV as Cubs beat Braves, 10-1. • Motor Sports: We love it when chicks fight guys in the pit. • Golf: Thank you, Obi-Wan Nicklaus. K.J. Choi wins Memorial....
It's An Awkward Angle, But Its Not THAT Awkward
"It doesn't have to be picture-perfect, just get it in the goal," says the MLS announcer. How about we make our goals a little more modest, and settle for keeping it in the stadium?...
To Watch Tonight...

Hooray For American Soccer!
• Pretty bad-ass performance by our soccer team yesterday. [That's On Point] • Last night's Daniel Gibson breakout was not a surprise. [Breaking the Press] • Get some of those Goodyear Tires with the aqua channel things, and race, pussies. [TSN] • Duck defenseman Chris Pronger is suspended for Game ...
Gary Sheffield, Unlike You Latin Pushovers, Will Not Be Controlled
I don't know if it was the conspiracy he was talking about yesterday, but Gary Sheffield did tell GQ all about his thoughts on why there are dwindling numbers of African-Americans in Major League Baseball....
The Chestnut Vs. Kobayashi Rivalry Heats Up
LeBron James wasn't the only world-class athlete who made a significant breakthrough yesterday. Joey Chestnut sucked down 59 and 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes, breaking Takeru Kobayashi's previous record of 54 and 1/4. The feat was accomplished, as so many notable athletic feats are, at the Arizona Mil...
Ladies And Gentlemen, Football Great Johnnie Morton
Johnnie Morton spent most of his NFL career with the Detroit Lions. His MMA debut puts him on roughly the same career arc....
Jack Trudeau Likes Alcohol ... Policemen, Not So Much
It's that time of year. The kids are graduating from high school, and former Colts quarterbacks are getting them shitfaced. It seems like just yesterday, it was me donning the cap and gown, getting my diploma, and Jeff George threatening to beat my ass if I couldn't do a keg stand for 45 seconds....
The Danes Like To Punch
If the Second War of Schleswig taught us anything, it's that the Danish lack problem-solving skills. Yesterday, during a Euro 2008 qualifier, a Danish player punched a Swedish player in the stomach, and was, of course, red-carded and sent off. Apparently feeling like it should be perfectly legal to ...
It's Enough To Make You Want To Hug Damon Jones
I don't know if it's enough to erase the pain of Jordan-over-Ehlo or Earnest Byner's fumble, but last night had to be the best Cleveland sports fans have felt since ... well, since the ping-pong balls bounced their way and they won the right to draft LeBron James....

About Last Night...
• NBA Playoffs. Cavs 98, Pistons 82. I don't think Rasheed Wallace is taking this well. • MLB. Padres 11, Nationals 3. Justin Germano refuses to lose. Ever. • NHL. Senators 5, Mighty Ducks 3. Candadian pride might yet be salvaged....
