Last Day To Avoid Tennis Tax Jail
If you haven't been paying attention, thanks to Sunday being a Sunday and yesterday being some sort of weird DC holiday, today is officially tax day (there's enough, you know, actual news going on today that the yearly "Everyone's at the post office at the last minute!" stories have fallen through t...

The U.S. Olympic Committee Wonders If You Can Spare Anything
When we think of charitable organizations that desperately need our support, we will confess that the United States Olympic Committee doesn't immediately come to mind, considering we think we remember seeing an ad for the official overnight shipping company of the U.S. Olympic Team. So we can't imag...
ESPN Turns "Douche" Into "######"
We will confess, a little bit of Paul Shirley's I'm A WRITER Who Happens To Play Basketball! schtick goes a long way. He's mostly amusing, we guess, but he has a tendency to overwrite — like we can talk — and seems a little too proud of himself from time to time. That said, he's entertaining, and we...

If Only Landon Donovan Had Received This Tough Love
Listen Tiffany, we're sick and tired of coddling your ass. You always recover centrally. And we've told you a million times, dribble toward the defender until he leaves his mark, then pass him! Repeat that, Tiffany! You dribble where? Toward the defender! Don't make us stop the car again....
What's The Right Price For MoPete's Head Sweat?
We are not experts in the field of sports memorabilia, so we have a difficult time gaging just how much a certain piece of game-used swag is supposed to be worth. A John Kruk jock strap? A Michael Barrett cup? Mike Vanderjagt's shoulder pads? We have no idea....
Keith Olbermann Now Vital Seventh Cog In NBC Pregame Team
We like MSNBC/ESPN Radio/NBC/whatever talking head Keith Olbermann, and not just because his presence reminds us of those halcyon days of yesteryear when we actually felt cool for watching "SportsCenter." (God, that seems so strange now.)...

Begin Preparing For The Vince Young Injury
ESPN Video Games had him at 12-1 odds, but Nashville City Paper is reporting that Vince Young will be on the cover of Madden 2008. This is awful news for Titans fans, of course, who have had enough experience with the Madden Curse — Eddie George was Patient Zero of this little game — to be awfully w...
Some Morning Fun Time At Fenway Park
So some of you might have seen the video of the infamous pizza-throwing incident at Fenway Park yesterday, but if you haven't — and you haven't heard Jerry Remy and Co's hilarious commentary on NESN — it's above. The NESN announcers didn't have the ability to talk to the fans, though, so The Bosto...
