Golden State's Chance To Make History (And Probably Kill Cuban)
Imagine the ramifications if, perchance, the Warriors eliminate the Mavericks tonight. First off, poor Dirk Nowitzki might never show his face in public again, or at least not around his coach. We'll have proof that the Warriors sold their souls to the devil. And Don Nelson will have his final, brut...
Fun With Rampant Irresponsible Steroid Speculation!
Rangers "closer" Eric Gagne is hurt again — this time it's his hip — and his impending absence allows everyone, once again, to play the great early-season He's Hurt Because He's Off Steroids Now game. It's fun because we have no idea!...
There's Nothing Quite Like A No Hitter
We love no-hitters; we're kind of obsessed with them, actually. It's one of the reasons we love baseball more than any other sport; any time you show up at a game, there's a chance you'll see one, which is their appeal. They're rare enough to be spectacular, but they're common enough that they seem ...
Time Once Again To Play The Mark Trail Drinking Game
Somewhere out west — we think it may be Idaho — is a land where the native fish are frisky and plentiful; and occasionally leap from the stream to blurt out answers to mysteries....
The Dysfunctional Family Circus Lives
To wash the taste of The Ladies takeover of Kissing Suzy Kolber yesterday out of their proverbial gullets, the gang at KSK brought one of our favorite (if derivative) gimmicks out of mothballs today: the Family Circus NFL riffs...
Strangely, The Statue Is All Natural
See, this is why you should hold off of bronzing your players until they've been retired for a while....
Could Mark Cuban Be Taking Over Wrigley?
We're not sure whether Cubs fans should be happy or sad about this — we tend to think that it couldn't hurt! — but Radar Online reports (and they would know) that Mavericks madman Mark Cuban is deadly serious about attempting to buy the on-the-block franchise....

Mark Cuban's Queer Eye For The NBA Guy
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is of the opinion that, if there is a gay player out there on a current NBA roster, he should come out, because he would be totally rich and respected if he did. Because that's just the way it happens in the real world, right? You announce that you're gay, and they ...
Mark Shapiro's Reign Of Destruction Officially Over
It's a sad anniversary tomorrow, totally; January 17 marks the one-year anniversary of the cancellation of "ESPN Hollywood." The show lasted almost six months, and hoo, what a six months they were!...
Wiki It Up With Cuban And The Mavs
Are you a Dallas Mavericks fan, frustrated by your inability to adequately chronicle in a collective fashion each and every move of your trusted hardwood heroes? Worry not! Mark Cuban would like you to make your voice heard....
Student Reporter Gets First Boring McGwire Quotes
So everybody wants to hear from Mark McGwire, the slugger-in-exile. What does he think about the Hall of Fame voting? Did he ever do steroids? What was the deal with appearing on "Mad About You?" No one has been able to get him to come out of hiding ... except for abused children, anyway. McGwire sh...
Welcome To The Hall, Cal And Tubby; We're Not Here To Talk About Your Past, Mac
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch appears to have jumped the gun on Hall of Fame voting results — and they don't have final totals — but it looks like there's no surprise: Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken are in ... and, obviously, Mark McGwire is out. (And likely not close.) Actual announcement in about five mi...
The 1998 Baseballs Are Not Here to Talk About the Past
Here's a story that may not have any credibility whatsoever, depending upon your knowledge of the porny sounding " larger rubberized core "and "synthetic rubber rings", allegedly found in baseballs during the 1998 season and, specifically, in Mark McGwire's magical 70th homerun ball....
Some Casting Director Has Their Work Cut Out For Them
Apparently, they'll make a movie about damn near anyone these days. The latest athlete to get the big screen treatment is spectacularly-bearded former Jazz center Mark Eaton. Eaton will be the subject of a film by Stacy Dymalski that will probably not be entitled, "What's Eatin' Mark Eaton?"...
The McGwire Maelstrom Is Upon Us
Well, as pretty much everyone has weighed in on now, Mark McGwire is on the Hall of Fame ballot, and it's got everybody's panties in a bunch. We typically get exhausted by Hall of Fame debates anyway — they're like regular sports debates, except it's about stuff that ended a decade ago — but this on...
