30 Previews In 30 Days: The Toronto Raptors
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that I'm previewing before the Spurs. Sorry, San Antonio. They are: The Toronto Raptors. When last we saw them: Finished ...
Mike Singletary Will Surely Kill Someone Before The Year Is Out
The forecast for the San Francisco 49ers season changed dramatically on Sunday from dismal to dangerous; like the difference between a cold, monotonous drizzle and a lightening storm in the mountains. And we can thank Mike Singletary for that. Not only did the 49ers' new interim coach pull a player ...
Blazing Saddles; A Day At The Breeders' Cup
I don't have many living idols, due to the fact that such folk have an unfortunate tendency to let you down. But I make an exception with this gentleman, who is a big reason that I accepted an invitation to attend the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita this past Saturday. Meeting the great Mel Brooks was ...
Morning Blogdome: Can You Wait Another 91 Minutes?
[email protected] knows your sister. What's this about rain?: Baseball writers—not that creative. They're also not very original, either. [Wrigleyville23] They should get a 3-minute minor for that: They play hockey a little differently in Boston—mostly because the face off circles at the Garden...
Fat, Drunk And Stupid Is No Way To Go Through West Virginia, Son
When you're so drunk and obnoxious that you're heckled by your fellow West Virginia fans, you know it's time for an intervention. Meet someone whom I assume is named Larry ... or possibly Rodney. But first please turn down the volume if you're at work, unless you want your co-workers to start chanti...
Angryville Prepares for The Great Unmooring
This was taken at Broad and Walnut last night about 12:47, just an hour after the game ended. Just like the night before, after that rain-delayed, preposterous walk-off win in Game 3, the city's most boisterous emptied their homes, the bars, their cars, and just took it to the street. Cops were sum...
Week Eight Of The NFL And The Phils Are One Game Away
Each Monday morning Awful Announcing, video slash and grab extraordinaire of the sports blogosphere, gives us a visual rundown of everything you missed from the weekend. If there's something sports-related you'd like to see with your coffee, shoot him an e-mail and let him know....
Stand Up For Joe Blanton!
Okay. This has been a fun weekend. Don't really know what to say right now. I'm sure it'll all be covered in blogdome. But for now, for those who were there tonight, well, you know what this photo means. Maybe. For those who don't, well, it's just a photo of Jessica Biel. Everybody wins! And there'...
World Series Game Four Live Blog: Rays at Phillies
We've reached Game 4, which is traditionally known as either "The Desperation Start" or "Who the @&$^ Are You and Why Have We Pinned All Our Dreams to You?" Welcome to Andy Sonnanstine vs. Joe Blanton, your fourth starters. Andy's a soft tosser that doesn't walk a lot of fellows; Joe's a Billy Beane...
Happy Valley, Bloody Sunday Morning
How long must we sing this DUAN? College football team has unusual amount of success; college students and townies with a taste for danger stumble into the streets; police break out the riot juice; hilarity ensues. Welcome back to the club, Penn State! Your celebration after last night's defeat of O...
Why Can't NFL Fans Celebrate Like That?
To my knowledge there haven't been any delightful female-on-female celebrations in the stands at today's NFL games, but as we all know the real action takes place in the Carolina bathrooms. Fortunately the games themselves have produced their own entertainment, unlike your average Big 10 game. New ...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you drown your sorrows in a few glasses of Messiah Bold. • MLB: World Series Game 4 (8pm Eastern) [FOX, unless Comcast gets in the way again] • College football: Central Florida at Tulsa (8pm Eastern) [ESPN] • Motor Sports: MotoGP World Championship, Valencia Grand Prix (6pm Eastern...
Jamie Moyer Was Sick Last Night, In A Very Literal Way
Last night's pitching performance by Jamie Moyer is already becoming the stuff that legends are made of. Not only did the 167-year-old baffle the Rays hitters with pinpoint accuracy and a fastball that barely reached 80mph, but according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal - who would be one sick bastard i...
President Condi Possible This January in San Francisco?
Condoleezza Rice, National Security Adviser to President Bush Secretary of Flippin' State (and we're rather embarrassed about THAT), has been fishing for an NFL job post-Executive Branch for awhile. She's quoted in 2002 trolling for the NFL Commissioner position (only to be beaten out by Guantanamo ...
NFL Update 4: Welcome To My Nightmare
There's really no good reason to run this photo, especially in relation to any NFL Update post. But when something like this lands in your inbox, forcing you to spend the next hour washing your eyes out with lava soap, even though you know it's never going to escape from where it has burrowed on th...
Afternoon Blogdome: Sure, Ya Did
And I bet you got gonorrhea from riding your tractor, too: Kellen Winslow got staph infection from a car door. [Pro Football Talk] Is that what Matt Garza was wiping away?: Tim McGraw spreads father's ashes on World Series mound. [Big League Stew] The end of an era in which most people like Jon Mill...
NFL Update 3: Like A Kid Out There
Like a stupid child, Brett Favre just couldn't stop throwing the football to the other team today, giving away 3 interceptions (one of them as bad of a pick you'll ever see) against a Chiefs team that isn't - how would one put this? - very good. And that was before they lost their starting RB for s...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Sacramento Kings
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that may get a royal flush right down the Western Conference commode this season. They are: The Sacramento Kings. When la...
NFL Update 2: Who Is The Eighth?
Looks like we got a few more names on WaterPillGate. Jay Glazer is reporting that the two Minnesota Williamses - Pat and Kevin - both tested positive for whatever it is people are testing positive for these days. That'll put a decent-sized hole in their defensive line. Glazer also says Falcons defen...
David Stern Invites Seattle to Watch Their Ex-Girlfriend With New Boyfriend
On the weekend before the NBA finally returns to action after its six-week sabbatical after the NBA Finals, we must take one more moment to remember one city that will not be joining the rest of us in our journey this season as Oklahoma City tries to pretend they can support both an NBA franchise an...
