Why Can't They Just Leave Poor Michael Vick Alone?
Well, now that legal expert Emmitt Smith has weighed in on the Michael Vick situation — saying the feds are just leaning on Vick to get "to everyone else," though we're trying to figure out who's more involved that the guy who slammed a dog into the ground until he died, we can wrap the whole matte...
Alyssa Milano Makes A New Friend
This might seem like an odd thing for us to say, but we don't actually hate Alyssa Milano's MLB.com blog. Pseudo TV starlets who once played Schwarzenegger's daughter in Commando don't necessarily do it for us anymore, but, well, it's not every day you read the phrase "Butterflies in my tummy" on a ...
A-Rod Scores Them In Bunches
The guy who provided this here site with The Tip That Shook The Nation — involving Chris Berman and a certain leather-clad female — of course earned a place in our our mythical Tipster Hall of Fame. And in our hearts. But he's slipping, unfortunately. His once great fastball is now merely a languid ...
The Nationwide Punter Menace Tredges On
Remember Mitch Cozad? He's the Northern Colorado backup punter who, last September, allegedly stabbed the starting punter to take his starting spot. It was more proof, once again, that you can never, ever trust a goddamned punter....
The Stephen A. Smith Hecklers Return!
We had been told The Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society Of Gentlemen would not be at the NBA Draft this year. We were wrong; oh, how we were....
Remembering Stephen A. Smith's Night Of NBA Draft Glory
To remind: The NBA Draft is three days away. To make sure you're appropriately fired up, we bring you this brilliant blast from the past, the fantastic Stephen A. Smith heckling video from last year's NBA Draft. HE LOVES THESE CHEESY DOODLES....
Look, Another Steroids Story
Poor George Mitchell. Most people thought his steroids investigation into baseball was doomed more than a year ago, when it began, because if you don't have to talk to a guy like that, why would you? What, this guy's gonna bust this wide open? George Mitchell is a respected public figure, but, you k...
How Virginia Tech Touched Our Little World Here
As you've surely noticed, we haven't gone into the Virginia Tech horrors too much around these parts; we felt we had nothing we could possibly add to something so unfathomable. But there are still ways the tragedy has touched our little world over here....
ESPN Tries To Find Someone Who Can Match Skip Bayless' Intelligence
So you know how "Cold Pizza" is changing its name to "ESPN First Take" and moving from New York City to Bristol next month? You didn't know this? What's that you say? You don't care at all? Yeah. We can probably understand where you're coming from there....
Lexington's Long National Nightmare Now Over
This just in: We'll try not to go all Politico / John Edwards on you here — for the record, we love that site, occasional big error aside — but we've received word from a TV station in Louisville and from another source that Kentucky fans desperate to rid themselves of Tubby Smith have had their wis...
Stephon Marbury Has Something In Common With All Of You
Namely, he doesn't like Stephen A. Smith. That delightful zinger was the outro for Stephon Marbury's new talk show, called... actually, I don't know what the hell it's called. But it exists, and that, to be honest with you, is more than I wanted to know about it in the first place....
Well, That Was A Bit Of A Letdown
Whether she was channeling Bruce Pearl or Minnie Pearl, Pat Summitt's antics before the Tennessee men's game on Tuesday was the least offensive aspect of the evening, as it turns out. When one considers that Dick Vitale was there, and that Peyton Manning was in the crowd singing, viewers should cons...
Ready For Some Good, Old-Fashioned College Basketball Nightmare Fuel?
Note to Bruce Pearl: There's such a thing as overselling an event, as may be the case tonight when Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is supposed to appear at the men's game against No. 5 Florida and "do something special." Pearl (personal motto: Dignity, Always Dignity), the Tennessee m...
Trying To Understand The Illini Car Crash
Now that Illini center Brian Carlwell's condition after Monday's accident in a car driven by teammate Jamar Smith has been upgraded to "fair," we think it's probably OK to look at some of the more bizarre aspects to the crash....
Inside The Awful Illini Car Accident
As most of you have heard by now, two Illinois basketball players — center Brian Carlwell and shooting guard Jamar Smith — were injured in a car accident last night in Champaign. Smith suffered a concussion, but Carlwell is currently listed in critical condition at Carle Foundation Hospital, a hospi...
Stephen A. Smith, Voice Of Reason In A World Of Insanity
OK, now we're not gonna get into politics this morning, but someone sent us this clip of Stephen A. Smith — listed as "Stephen Smith" — debating atheism on CNN. This isn't the first time he's debated non-sports topics on CNN, but this is the first time we've grabbed a clip....
That Other Guy... He Wasn't Even Acting
That's Stephen A. Smith's brief appearance on "General Hospital," an ABC daytime soap that never really recovered from the loss of Jack Wagner (don't judge me). I've gotta hand it to Stephen A., that wasn't bad. He was able to step outside himself, fully immerse himself in the role, and, just for a ...
Daulerio at SBXLI: Yes, Somehow Freddie Mitchell Got Into the Maxim Party
Maxim's Superbowl Shitshow party was everything one could hope for and so much more. The Sagamore Hotel transformed itself into a beachfront paradise with celebrities and athletes, and, of course FredEx and his Godly hands cavorting about the joint. Freddie Mitchell was attached to Irishman Brady Qu...
Jay Mariotti Was On To Lovie Smith From The Beginning
We haven't made fun of Jay Mariotti for a while, so it's probably time. Good to shake off the rust sometimes....
