Avery And Spitzer Connected By More Than New York
Rangers left wing Sean Avery, former beau of Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter, has popped up in the black book of Manhattan madam-to-the-stars Kristin Davis (not to be confused with actress in unwatchable Manhattan fantasy show for harpies Kristin Davis). Unlike fellow Davis client former Gov. Eli...
Look, Media Approval Ratings, In Graph Form
We meant to get to this yesterday, but we got wrapped up in Canseco madness. Anyway, we had hoped someone would do this, but we didn't imagine it being done so well. Ballhype has taken our Media Approval Ratings and put them into a nifty Media Approval Leaderboard....
It's Still Not As Dangerous As A Typical Eagles Game
Please bear with me if you've seen this before; any time I see something this large and angry go into the stands that isn't Ron Artest, I must post it. Three things of note here: 1. Love the three guys sitting under the little overhang in the middle there, safe from harm in the stadium's finest lux...
McDonald's Bag 1, Denver Broncos 0
You've scored some well-earned vacation time, and you're booked for a week or two at the finest resort you can find. Time to check in, unpack, and ... order room service? A larger TV? Five-diamond hookers? Well, no; if you're Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, it's time for a McDonald's ...
Bob Costas Ain't Lyin', Y'all Are Losers
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane, co-editor of Walk Off Walk, to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
Manning Vs. Brady, Round II
OK, I might see Tom Brady wearing Ermenegildo Zegna clothing, but Eli Manning, I don't think so. Isn't he more of a Miller's Outpost kind of guy? Anyway, they were both on hand for the big Zegna store opening in Manhattan on Thursday, or so we are led to believe. Mr. Manning here actually looks very...
Who Wants To Sound Like Mutumbo?
By the way, there's all kinds of Rockets video goodness on the series of tubes today....
Speedo Guy More Profane Than You Remember
Yup, the magic of Speedo Guy and his Cameron crotch chops didn't prove enough to turn away the Tar Heels (though I did turn away)....
What's Creepier Than A Draft Combine? How About A Junior High Draft Combine?
You know what youth football has always been missing? Creepy draft combines! Honestly, for too long we have not had the opportunity to nail down and discover the top physical specimens at the age of 12. But worry not!...
If Wilt's 100-Point Game Were Modernized
As we conclude another lazy "Baked Doritos and curling on TV" Sunday, we remember that 46 years ago was the night Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points against the New York Knicks (snerk) in a game. And the Dayton Daily News poses a good question: how would it be covered today? Oh, there's nothing bett...
Night Of The Killer Zamboni
• Help! I don't know how it works! • Bob Knight is an ESPN analyst! I see no way this can end badly. • The St. Louis Cardinals post that almost wasn't. • Canadian hockey players remind us that high school is supposed to be fun. • Will goes on a tropical island vacation, wakes up in the Scottish mili...
Would You Hire This Man To Sell Your Underwear?
So word is that Calvin Klein is driving hard to the basket, trying to lure Tom Brady as their underwear model/spokesman. For seven figures. Wow. Do I want to live in a world where Tom Brady makes more for underwear modeling than Heidi Klum?...
White People Make Us Laugh
More fun from the NFL Draft Combine: Vivid reminders that, as we all know and love from the world of comedy, black people are so much cooler than white people. This is quite vividly illustrated when they are stripped down to their underwear and asked to move around....
The NFL Network's Weekend Of Scantily Clad Men
We've said this before, but it bears repeating: The NFL Combine has always creeped us out. Call us old-fashioned, but we just can't muster the appropriate interest in recruiting and draft prospect stories. We like to see a guy show up on our team and then see how he fits in. We know: We're a geezer....
When You're Too Slow To Avoid The Zamboni
No, don't worry: A Pittsburgh Penguin did not get crushed on the ice. It's just what happens when a Zamboni's transmission fails, as reported by reader War Penguin, who was on the scene in Pittsburgh in its game against the San Jose Sharks. More action photos after the jump....
What I Learned From the Combine
There's nothing quite like a sunny Sunday afternoon spent indoors at the computer while watching live coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine. I may not be off in football nerd heaven like FanHouse's MDS but I'm content with the high def broadcast accompanied by the dulcet tones of Rich Eisen and co. T...
Justice Is Blind, Which Accounts For All The Typos
Finally, Barry Bonds has discovered an airtight defense for his upcoming trial on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. Typos! Yep, Bonds' lawyers on Thursday contended that, because the government filed court papers on their client that had at least two typos, that Barry should walk free. Hey...
It's Almost Time For the NFL Combine And That Means...<em>Mamula</em>
ESPN dove into the Mamula pool early this year with the annual "Hey, let's get Mike Mamula to talk about how much of a bust he was..."-story that antsy NFL reporters hop on during the post-Pro Bowl dead zone. This year at ESPN, Pat Yasinskas (rhymes with "Dasplinkas" — maybe ) drew the Mamula card, ...
