Pistons Finally Tire Of Toying With Bulls
Remember in the last game of the NBA regular season, when the Bulls simply needed a victory over the Nets to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference? If they hadn't lost that game, this Bulls-Pistons whitewash could have been our conference finals; this could be all there is....
Sean Salisbury Eventually Will Be Doing High School Games In Boise
Citizens of Chicago, your long civic nightmare is over: Your morning radio "star" Sean Salisbury is no longer haunting your airwaves.

Don't Piss Off Jon Bon Jovi
You know, we haven't decided if Jon Bon Jovi's part-ownership of the Arena League's Philadelphia Soul makes the league more interesting, or less. On the one hand, a "rock star" who writes about just the perfect karaoke song owns a sports franchise and screams and yells from the luxury booth. On the ...

Mike Golic Suffering From Peter Pan Salmonella
So here's something bizarre and sad. You know that salmonella outbreak that has been tied to Peter Pan peanut butter? (And, to a lesser extend, Wal-Mart's "Great Value" house brand?) It hasn't caused any deaths yet, but almost 300 people in 39 states have fallen ill from it....
Coach K Is Now A Sexagenarian
So here's a little factoid for you: Today, February 13, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski turns 60 years old. It's strange to think of him as that old; not only does he continue to be that irrepressible lovable impish scamp that we all adore, but he also has retained his thick, lustrous black hair. (Becaus...
It Appears That Mike Tyson Might Need Some Help Or Something
This is going to come as a shock to most of you — it certainly came as a shock to us — but former heavyweight champion and all-around beacon of stability Mike Tyson has never been in rehab before.

Agent Zero Revenge Tour Makes Imaginary Stop At Duke
We must report that our new favorite place to visit on the Internet is Gilbert Arenas' NBA.com blog (sorry, Fleshbot). This is because A). He actually writes it himself, unlike some people; B). There are posts with headlines such as "ESPN The Magazine Took Me Off the Cover" and "I Was Fouled Against...

Someone Is Going To Coach The Steelers
But it might not be Mike Tomlin. I linked to an article yesterday that reported that Tomlin had the job, then Tomlin denied that that was true... and then ESPN's Chris Mortensen said that it was true, and so did everyone else... and last night, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said the job belongs to R...

Just Blow Into This Tube, Mr. Tyson
Mike Tyson, ex-pugilist extraordinairre, gnawer of earlobes, raper of women, can add a new dubious title to his evergrowing legend: possessor of cocaine.

Your Last Night Of MNF Brett Favre Backrubbing
Of all the tired Brett Favre storylines out there, our least favorite is the "He's playing against Mike Holmgren again!" theme. Yes, yes, they won a Super Bowl together; we're not sure this makes this all that necessarily compelling. Besides, that would require remembering a time when Brett Favre we...
Cancel Those Reservations, Ladies
First O.J.'s television interview is canceled, and now this. Remember how Mike Tyson was supposed to be all set to go to work for Heidi Fleiss at her new stud farm in Nevada? Turns out, evidently, that it's not true. And our Wednesday just got a little bit sadder. From ContactMusic.com:...
