Morning Blogdome: Matt Millen Is Still Drunk On Inexplicable Positivity
• The building blocks for success: "Stay the course," Millen said. "It's a little bump. ... It's not like you have to panic. You don't have to make wholesale changes. You don't have to do all that stuff. It's all right there." [Fanhouse] • Tennessee Vols get Wiki-hacked by Gator online vandals: "The...
The Josh Howard Question Veers Into Dark, Creepy Email Territory
We get our share of nutty email around these parts — oh, do we ever — but I'm fairly confident that it's nothing compared to what Mark Cuban finds each morning when he opens his laptop. When you're a billionaire and an NBA owner and the author of a popular blog, your inbox has to be chock full of ev...

He's Just Your Average Octogenarian Bodybuilder Who Will Not Die
Hmm. Yes, I guess this could technically be categorized as "Nightmare Fuel" but at the same time, there is something comforting in the fact that 80-year-old bodybuilders like Ray Moon do exist. Actually, not all. These men should only exist in the darkest corners of a mescaline-ravaged mind or a Gui...
Jose Reyes' Alleged Side-Sex Lady Denies Rumors That She's Banging Him
The Dirty.com alerted the media to the site's "exclusive" photographic evidence that Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes was having an ongoing affair with a stripper-sounding woman named Bentley Matthews a couple of days ago and most outlets ignored it. But today the New York Daily News caught up with her an...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after finding out that your best one-legged femaile darts player used to be a man ... • College football: West Virginia at Colorado (8:30 p.m., ET). Wait, a Thursday night game at Colorado? What? [ESPN] • MLB: Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees (7 p.m., ET). Yankees as spoilers. Wha...
Cowboys Love Them Wide Open Spaces
We mentioned this in morning blogdome, but felt that it needed to be expanded. See what I did there? Scientists estimate that sometime in the future, perhaps a hundred years from now, the typical human ass will be wider than a Subaru Outback. In Texas, they're already getting close. As workers begin...
Buzz Bissinger Wants To Help You Find Somebody To Love
For those of us lucky enough to be Facebook friends with esteemed author and cantankerous blog-basher Buzz Bissinger, we were all treated with a special surprise in the last 10 minutes when it appeared Buzz had made the effort to write something on our walls. Not the case. It seems poor Buzz got Fac...
Topless Midget Wrestling Controversy Rocks Sleepy Illinois Community
When we allow the government to take away our right to watch tiny ladies wrestle topless, what's next? Will they take away our right to vote? To breathe? It happened in Canton, Illinois: as police were shocked to discover that a recent "midget wrestling event" took place at the Outskirts Bar & Grill...
Afternoon Blogdome: Yeah, That Headline Needs A Little Bit Of A Trim
• I see what you did there: Those crafty rapscallions in the editorial department at the Notre Dame Rivals site are either snickering right now or getting lambasted by the higher-ups. Charlie Weis will inevitably demand an apology. [The World Of Isaac] • Ed Vedder: Cubs fan, crooner: Not gonna lie, ...

Possibly The Most Disturbing Baseball Hazing Photo You'll Ever See
This baseball hazing thing officially went too far on Wednesday, when San Diego Padres rookies were forced to dress as Hooters waitresses; with one there on the right completing the ensemble with fake breasts. God, I hope those are fake. Won't somebody think of the children??! So can anyone provide ...
Cubs Chase Old Man Off Their Lawn
Awhile ago we told you the story of Leo Hildebrand, the 104-year-old Cubs fan whose one big wish was to throw out the first pitch for a game at Wrigley Field. Of course he'd probably need a relay man, and a diaper change to complete the task. But still, how could the Cubs deny the only person in Chi...
Another Senseless Streaking Tragedy
Nathan Roberts is a player on the Virginia B Grade Australian soccer team, but is sidelined due to "fluid in his lungs, pneumonia and an inflamed liver and spleen." This didn't stop him from streaking at a recent match between United and Hummocks Watchman Eagles, however. Watch the fun here as Robe...
Excerpt: "Boys Will Be Boys" By Jeff Pearlman
"Boys Will Be Boys", Jeff Pearlman's fascinating account of the glory days of the Cowboys dynasty is making the media rounds this week and we will happily join in to promote it. It is ridiculously entertaining. Yes, Charles Haley is the star, but there is so much more to it than just his dong-flappi...
Could There Be A More Fitting Metaphor For The AL East Race?
Don't tase Boston's divisional title chances, bro! If this isn't a sign from the baseball gods that the race is over in the East, I don't know what is. This Red Sox fan tried to leap the dugout and run onto the field at the Trop on Wednesday, but was met with Epic Failure: security grabbed him, and ...
Reilly's Column Not Edited For Creepy Sleaziness, But For Out Of Touch Lameness
Yesterday, we received an email about Rick Reilly's latest column on America's chances in the upcoming Ryder Cup, where he gives a list of reasons as to how Paul Azinger's Tiger-less squad could actually win this year's event. It's the usual Reilly-on-golf effort (probably his strongest subject) and...
Ask Not What Tom Brady Can Do For You, Ask What You Can Do For Tom Brady
Excellent piece of satire this morning over at Blogging The Boys — and God, I hope it's satire — in which they write that the remainder of the 2008 NFL season will be officially played in honor of Tom Brady. I have to admit that I read half of it, then raced over to NFL.com to make sure it wasn't tr...
Who Is The Mystery Back-To-Back Homer Guy?
Eat your heart out, Zack Hample. I think it's safe to say that this unknown lad will be the only fan in the history of the old Yankee Stadium to catch home run balls on consecutive nights. Yes Network TV guys Michael Kay and Ken Singleton (I think) are all over the story, with video of the same fan ...
Morning Blogdome: Kirk Herbstreit Upset With "Tropic Thunder" Tan On Gameday Bus?
• He could use a little less color: I actually witnessed this last Saturday at the USC game. The picture of Herbstreit seemed to give his face a very mottled look, like the color was being changed right before your eyes. That's why this story seems somewhat plausible. [Busted Coverage] • Has LT peak...
