So, This One Time, On The Band Bus ...
Nothing can beat the international mystery and intrigue of collegiate marching bands, and the Wisconsin band apparently did something so "boorish and patently offensive" that it can never be spoken of....
Stalking Lloyd Carr
We are no experts in the field of stalking — really! — but as far as potential stalking targets go, we're not sure we'd include Michigan coach Lloyd Carr as a particularly targetable vessel for rage and frustration. Well, at least not this year....
What They Did On Their Day Off
Though the woman in this photo apparently didn't get the memo, anyone in the New York City area yesterday, when not preoccupied with planes coming out of the sky and Alec Baldwin all full of bustle, knew there wasn't going to be a NLCS game last night. It was pouring rain and was just getting wors...
I Was In 'The Cat In The Hat,' Dammit!
In a tragic time such this, it's easy to forget who the real victims are. Specifically, actor Alec Baldwin, shown here on Wednesday near the Manhattan accident scene where Cory Lidle's small plane crashed into a high-rise building. Baldwin is giving a New York City police officer the Glengarry Gle...
Cory Lidle, The Day After
As we take a step back from the Cory Lidle story a day later, we look at, perhaps predictably, the strange situation that arises when a journeyman (but capable) pitcher like Lidle suddenly becomes a household name in the worst way possible....

Canvassing the blogs after Detroit's 8-5 win over Oakland in the ALCS:...
The Post That Will Probably End Up Jinxing Them Again
Well, we know we're going to get yelled at for saying this, but we can't deny the facts, jack: The Tigers look like they're not gonna be beaten by anyone, in either league. Before the NLCS has even had a chance to start yet — more on this later — the Tigers have sucked the life out of the A's and th...

Plane That Crashed Into NYC Building Flown By Yanks' Cory Lidle
So the plane that crashed into the Belaire buildling on the Upper East Side of Manhattan about two hours ago, freaking everybody around here the hell out?...
The Long Wait Is Over (Probably)
We repeat our caveat: It's very possible tonight's Cardinals-Mets game is going to rain out. (Fortunately, you know, there's some other baseball tonight, just in case, and we think it's unlikely Oakland's gonna get a rainstorm.) But nevertheless, the NLCS is scheduled to begin tonight, with the vete...

Death Is Not An Option!

[Sports Business Journal] • This is probably what everyone should do with the Stanley Cup. [College Humor] • Some idiot yammering about the Cardinals. [Mets Blog] • Another ode to t...
The Biggest Games Of The Year ... On F/X?
Barring rainouts, tonight is the one night of the baseball postseason that features two games going on simultaneously. Depending on where you are, you'll be watching one series on FOX and the other on F/X. So if you're a Tigers fan living in New York City, for example, you either need to find your...
Look, Naked British People!
Just to be crude, and because we can't imagine you can look at Tiger Woods that much longer, we decided to toss out a little bon mot for you: A top 10 list of female streakers at British sporting events. (Link NSFW)...

Rick Ankiel, Six Years Later
As we await tonight's hopefully-not-rained-out NCLS Game 1, we think back to 2000, when the Cardinals and Mets last met under these circumstances. This is known, of course, as the Rick Ankiel series, when the blistering lefthander, whose curveball was one of the most gravity-defying things we had ...
