YES Network Host Bob Lorenz Arrested On DUI Charges, Allegedly Found Slumped Over Steering Wheel At Stop Sign
Bob Lorenz isn't currently a star on the Yankees' broadcast arm, the YES Network. (He does lots of solid studio work.) And judging from what police allege happened early this morning in Westport, Connecticut, Lorenz won't become a star at YES anytime soon....

"OMG! He's Got A Gun!" The UMass Post-Super Bowl Riot, As Commentated By Two Very Sheltered Young Ladies
We're not sure what's the best part of this video: the UMass students rioting because the Patriots lost, or the two women commentating on the action. (That they couldn't figure out how to shut the camera off should tell you all you need to know about them.) We're told this is actually the second r...

They're Already Running "Congratulations Super Bowl Champion Patriots" Ads In New England
Here's an ad for Dick's Sporting Goods informing viewers the availability of New England Patriots Super Bowl Champions gear. It ran one and a half times during today's local Comcast SportsNet broadcast of the Grizzlies-Celtics game (the second time through, it was cut off as somebody finally notic...
Mike Brown Earned His Ejection With This On-Court Meltdown
The rage came forth from Lakers coach Mike Brown in the final period of L.A.'s 96-87 loss to the Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City. It's unclear whether Brown made contact with the referee—which would earn him at least a one-game suspension—but his outburst earned him a double-technical, immediate e...
Youth Basketball Coach Tells Kid Wrong Time To Show Up For Playoff Game Because He Stinks
Here's a messed up story and proof that those steak heads you went to high school with never, ever change. From a tipster who wishes to remain anonymous, a youth basketball league in California is about to kick off its playoff season next week and sent out a friendly reminder to coaches notifying t...
"Dumb Fuckers" Attend University Club Fair, Student Paper Reports
Unlike the inexplicable floating fuck in the Greenville News's story on the SEC Title Game, we have a pretty good idea of how the Suffolk Journal ended up running this subhed yesterday. As explained by a red-faced editor's note, it was some joke text meant to be switched out later, only it never was...
All The Photos Other Reporters Took Of Ines Sainz At Super Bowl Media Day
There is nothing more predictable than TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz attending Media Day, except maybe a rush of other reporters commenting on how Ines Sainz is attending Media Day. To illustrate how she's only there for attention, a large number of these reporters either pose for photos with her, o...
Give Them A Pretty Lady In A Tight Dress, And Reporters At Media Day Become Comic-Con Nerds
Doing the lord's work, the guys at Sports790 in Houston followed around Televisa Deportes sensation Marisol Gonzalez for a bit. Not to leer, but to see who might be caught leering. They were not disappointed. [via @sportsfeeder1]...
"Somebody Fucking Go": Broadcaster Mocks Dion Phaneuf's Girly Voice When He Thinks He's In Commercial
Ray Ferraro called TSN's broadcast of Leafs/Penguins tonight, and as sometimes happens with online streams (in this case, the NHL's GameCenter Live), viewers watching during televised ad breaks were treated to a live mic. And while we've heard announcers swear before, hearing Ferraro take a stab a...
A Madman Handcuffed Himself To The Goal During The Everton-Manchester City Match
We've no clue the protest this man is engineering (his t-shirt says something about Irish airline Ryanair) but the Everton-Man City match was put on hold for about five minutes as police attempted to unchain this hooligan from the goal. It's a good thing he chose the opposite end from Tim Howard;...
Hand Trying To Win Job
Here's the tail end of a package that ran on KSTP-TV in St. Paul tonight about Marlins pitcher Brad Hand, a Minneapolis native fighting for a spot in the Miami rotation. You can see a bit of a giggle in sports anchor Joe Schmit's voice as he realizes the unfortunate turn of phrase in the over-the...
Jon Heyman's Tweets Make Him Seem Like The Richest Man Alive
Jon Heyman, late of Sports Illustrated and Newsday, now of CBS, is a fine baseball reporter. He keeps up with rumors at an impressive clip, and, when he's not the first with a scoop, he'll credit whoever had it first on Twitter. Judging by his TV and Twitter personas, he seems reasonable. But he als...
Please Get J.R. Smith Out Of China Before His Family Starts World War III
The last time we checked in with J.R. Smith, he was breaking ankles while his sister Stephanie was starting brawls....
What Earned This On-Air Double-Bird From San Francisco's NBC Affiliate? News The Raiders Hired Dennis Allen
This is actually from Wednesday's 6 p.m. newscast on KNTV in San Francisco, during which a CSN Bay Area producer in the background appears to react quite negatively to the Dennis Allen news being delivered by sports anchor Henry Wofford. We're not sure how someone working on TV wouldn't know he i...

CBS Fires The Guy Who Reported Joe Paterno's Death Before It Happened
Adam Jacobi: "In the end, CBS had to let me go for the Paterno story going out the way it did, and I understand completely. Thanks, everyone, for reading." [via]...
Somebody Let Dirk Nowitzki Have The Microphone Again, And The Results Were <em>Äußerst Komisch</em>
Dirk Nowitzki's occasional stints as a TV analyst have led to catchphrases including "Take Dat With You," which became an unofficial rallying cry for last year's Mavericks. Dirk's grunts and ejaculations are funny, for sure—even if sometimes in a "does my breath smell funny" or "does my car sound ...
Lawrence Taylor, On If He Is A Changed Man After Getting Busted With An Underage Prostitute: "No"
In a meandering and bizarre interview aired Wednesday night on Showtime's Inside The NFL, Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor attempted to respond to questions about his 2010 arrest for soliciting an underage prostitute but mostly left the impression that more trouble's in his future....
