Mike Tyson Would Like To Help You Carry Those Groceries To Your Car
Meet the new Mike Tyson. He's relaxed, he's sweet; he's whistling a happy tune. Frankly, we'd be less surprised if Kim Jong Ill suddenly began a tour of the U.S. singing old Bobby Sherman hits, but there you have it. There's a bluebird on his shoulder. Are we as a nation ready for this? Tyson appe...
Revenge Of The Nerds
Our first thought when we heard of the NFL "terror threat" on Thursday? Al Qaeda is slipping; Osama is just phoning it in at this point. As Sportsocracy pointed out (in a post we mentioned on Thursday), three of the seven prospective terror targets were hosting afternoon games. What, the terrorist...
Hopefully He Won't Get Confused And Sing A Car Commercial
Before Game 1 of the 2004 World Series, we were talking to our father, little pregame discussion of how these Red Sox were going down, man, when he stopped. "Holy shit," he said. "The guy from Aerosmith is singing the national anthem. Damn, that makes me feel old." Our father, who missed the Diane W...

You Can Shove Your Sorrys In A Sack, Mister
The week began with violence and bravado, but has concluded in ignominious regret. Yes, it's time for the "sorry" roundup. And while none of these apologies rise to the level of that of that of the great Pete Rose, rest assured that all of the participants are nonetheless terribly filled with sham...
Fun With Extinct Clothing
We're sure this happens all the time, but it's still funny when Major League Baseball accidentally slips and posts it.

Four Moments In October
The thing about a Game 7 for your team, we're noticing this morning, is that you forget that you and the people you are with aren't the only people watching it. Every pitch is so intense, every second's pressure so heightened, you lose all perspective: It feels like it's only happening to you. And...

Now That's A Pleasant Way To Spend An Evening
It's 3:30 in the morning, and we have just returned from a night of screaming, biting, man hugs and other general insanity with 20 other Cardinals fans in the enemy territory of Manhattan. We are covered in champagne — seriously — and just about as giddy as a human being can be. The Cardinals are in...
The Fight To Lose To Detroit Ends Tonight
This photo is from the 2004 National League Championship Series, in which Jeff Suppan outdueled Roger Clemens — and laid down a perfect squeeze bunt, for good measure — to send the Cardinals to the World Series, where they went to Boston and ... well, we don't remember much after that....

A Cards Fan And A Mets Fan Discuss Game 7
You've followed your team every day for six, nearly seven months. You've sweated one-run games in May, stayed up until 2 a.m. for the 14-inning marathon in July, cursed rainouts in August and finally felt some release come September and October. This has been your life — not their life; your life — ...

Game 7, The Weirdest-Case Scenario

Sir, Please Allow Me To Retort
The Bills play the Patriots this weekend, and, just for shits and giggles, we present you this video of a Bills fan from last year who would like everyone to know that, in his opinion, the Bills have a more skilled roster and a better coaching stuff than the Patriots....
