The Post Where Stephen A. Calls Us A Liar, And We Return The Favor
On Wednesday, we told you about how several Cubs blogs reported receiving emails from "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" staffers encouraging them to come out and boo Cubs manager Dusty Baker. Well, it turns out, Baker caught wind of the emails and cancelled his appearance on the program. In th...
Who Loves Ya, Baby?
We find it hysterical that we live in a day and age that it's legitimately shocking news when a two-time NBA MVP shaves his head. We're not quite sure what Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash was thinking when he decided to shear all his locks, but we're imagining it involved either Molson or an e...
Come On Down And Boo Our Guests!
You know how audience coordinators at "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" are always trolling Web message boards trying to get people to come to their shows? Well, now it's getting rather extreme....

Spend The Day With Stephen A. (Kinda)
We all know it's not particularly difficult to get tickets to "Quite Frankly" tapings — a guy we know in New York for the summer has gone three times already, and he's been here, like, a month; we have no idea why he keeps putting himself through this — but that doesn't mean a meet-and-greet with ...
Inside The Pepsi 400
A reader, who explains he's "not a Nascar fan, but [his] company had a suite to the race and [he] figured I'd give it a shot," attended last week's Pepsi 400 in Daytona. He claims it was his mission to "take as many pictures of rednecks as possible." This collection of photos, obviously aiming for t...
Heckling Stephen A. Without Mercy
The raucousness of the crowds at the NBA and NFL Drafts in New York are somewhat legend, and last night, from many accounts, nobody was hit harder than ESPN's resident screamer Stephen A. Smith. And now it's all captured on video. Stephen A. is hit repeatedly in this video, for his Cheese Doodles,...
Stage Diving, NASCAR Style
If we were bigger NASCAR fans, we would have certainly known about this earlier — since it happened about a month ago — but we're not, so we needed We Are The Postmen to point it out to us....

Non-Retired Guy Comes Out Of Non-Retirement To Non-Retire
Our long national nightmare is over: Roger Clemens is back. How did we ever make it so long without him? His "return," obviously, would have a little more resonance if he had, you know, ever left, but whatever. He's back. Playing the Twins. We hope Bat Girl comes up with a Lego version of him....
Roger Clemens! Pitching! It's Like He Never Retired!
Well, it's a big night in Lexington; Roger Clemens is coming to town, to pitch with his son Koby at third base. It's the first of three minor league stints for Roger, all of which, of course, have a definitive financial incentive for Roger Clemens. (The other two games are for teams Clemens partia...
Free Personality Test! (The Race Will Cost You, Though)
Outstanding find from The Mighty MJD: Apparently, the Church of Scientology is sponsoring a NASCAR team at a race in California. Well, actually, it's not the church sponsoring the car; it's founder L. Ron Hubbard's book "Dianetics," which, phew, has nothing to do with Scientology at all....
Steve Nash's Monstrous Chest Hair. See It. Love It.
A site we'd never heard of — but was probably inevitable — called Drunk Athletes has typically just posted the warmed-over Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Leinart, Dirk Nowitzki drunk pictures we've all seen countless times. Must give them credit today, though, because they dredged one up that was new to u...
NASCAR Shocks!
A reader sends us this picture, which he took of NASCAR veteran Rusty Wallace at The Sanctuary, a golf resort in Charleston, S.C. He didn't think much about it until he got home and noticed Wallace's shirt....
Clemens Decides To Stay In Houston, Yep
Credit Newsday's Ken Davidoff with the big scoop: Roger Clemens is signing with the Houston Astros....
NASCAR Gets An Asterisk Of Its Own
When the Coca-Cola 600 kicks off later today, Michael Waltrip will make his 262nd consecutive start, which ranks sixth on the all-time list. But I'm favor of adding a big fat asterisk to Waltrip's spot on the list, because he didn't earn his spot, he bought it....
Steve Nash Politely Reminds You He's The MVP (In A Canadian Way)

When You're Talking Sex, You're Talking Enron Field
On Sunday, the Houston Astros shutout the Texas Rangers 5-0 in Houston, securing a series win over their in-state rivals. To celebrate, a Houston policeman at the game decided to have sex with two women. Makes sense!...
The Porn Stars Of Tempe
Inspired by a post at Every Day Should Be Saturday comparing the Texas Longhorns logo to female reproductive organs, the fine folks at The M Zone have come up with other college sports logos that have more than passing resemblances to various pop cultural icons....
