Three Great Tastes That ... You Know, We're Gonna Stop There
We meant to post this yesterday but didn't get around to it. David Beckham visited the Yankees locker room on Monday; he was one of the she-male, muscular types A-Rod usually hangs with while in Toronto. For some reason — and we can't put our finger on why — but these pictures oddly remind us of th...
NBA, All Exotic
• NBA stars, in Chinese mythology. We think. [Sports Rumblings] • The seven games on the NBA schedule you should really be watching. [The Basketball Jones] • Bring A-Rod to St. Louis! [Sports Review Magazine] • Scary minor league heckers. [Home Run Derby] • Who should Yao Ming have married? [The Ang...
NFL Season Preview: Houston Texans
Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it....
Everytime Darius Miles Leaves The House, He's Teaching History
You might not be able to tell from this picture, which comes to us via the Blazers Blog and 100 Percent Injury Rate, but it's an etching (drawing? painting?) on the hood of Darius Miles' car. And it's awesome....
Judge: Brazilian Soccer Is Too Gay
Say what you will about the legal system in our country — we are a country governed by laws, and those laws are enforced by a man who gleefully lies, splendid, amazing, artistically blessed lies — but at least we don't have people like Manoel Maximiniano Junqueira Filho, a Brazilian judge....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. Fantasy FB Hall of Fame: Is this an actual thing, or just a part of Nate Ravich's fevered ramblings? • 2 p.m. Baseball America's Jim Callis: Make some sense of this Bonds thing, Jim. A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. • 4 p.m...
O.J. Is Superbad
From Winning the Turnover Battle comes a very odd story. In fact, we're not entirely convinced that someone didn't dream it. If David Lynch had adapted the Berman "You're With Me, Leather" saga for the big screen, it might have gone something ... like ... this:...
Barry Blogdome: Asterisk-esque!
What they're saying in Blogopolis about No. 756. We apologize for the use of that word, by the way. At least we didn't say "sphere."...
Yankees Fight For A Little Recognition
As New York continued to spit vitriol at Bonds (the Daily News came up with the gimmick of actually putting him on trial), it kind of forgot that the Yankees and Mets also played on Tuesday. In fact, the Yanks won; got into a scuffle with the Blue Jays, and crept to within five games of the Red Sox ...
In The End, You Don't Feel Nothing
By now, we've all pretty much made our peace with it, though there was a little part of us today that wanted to not mention Barry Bonds until about 4 p.m., and then throw up a "holy crap, did you guys see what happened last night? We just noticed" post. We felt that would be too gimmicky, though no...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while attempting to unlock the mystery of Giant Leggo Man ... • You know, I hate to bring this up, but I'm beginning to suspect that this new home run record may not be completely legitimate. • WNBA: New York beats Houston to break four-game losing streak. Well of course; the Comets ...
Rick Reilly Gets Shirtless And Sweaty For His Art
Who's that handsome shirtless man sweating like Aaron Altman? Why, that's Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly, who, in another of his wacky journalistic stunts, entered the World Sauna Championships in Finland this weekend....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after loading all torpedo bays ... • MLB: Yankees at Blue Jays. Is this the face of the Yankees' salvation? [YES Network] • WNBA: Indiana at Chicago. I know not these nicknames. Somebody help! [ESPN2] • MLB: Indians at White Sox. Let's get it started, in here. [WCIU]...
Ireland Has Trouble Keeping The Michigans Straight
Our own Matt Sussman recently spent some time in Northern Ireland — he'll be back for his shift this weekend — and found this incredibly odd T-shirt....
You Don't Want Tiger Pitching Your Product
Remember that old Tiger Woods Caddyshack commercial for American Express? It was one of Tiger's most likable moments; even Tiger can be funny when he's channeling Bill Murray....
