We Love The Idea Of Her Working With Milton Bradley
The Dodgers are still trying to fill their general manager position, and though they're still holding out hope for John Hart or Theo Epstein (hey, Steve Phillips is available!), so far the only person they've interviewed is assistant GM Kim Ng. Ng would be the first female general manager in baseb...

OK, Seriously, Knock It Off You Guys
All right, we know we've mentioned this already, but we're still kind of obsessed with this daily SportsCenter feature of Steve Phillips "playing" the role of every team's GM. At first, we thought this was just going to be a Boston thing, playing with the Theo Epstein press conference last week. ...

Ray Ratto's Weird Mug
San Francisco Chronicle sports columnist Ray Ratto is a talented writer — he'll never appear in our feature Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks, for instance. (We're pretty sure. Unless he does). A former contributor to ESPN.com, he recently shifted over to CBS Sportsline. But with that move came th...

Why Your City Sucks
Looks like the Maloof brothers got a hold of the Jumbotron controls while drunk again. In what the team says will be a regular feature, when the Pistons were introduced last night, the Kings ran a feature about the city of Detroit on the scoreboard. You can probably guess what it was: horrible vis...

About Last Night ...
You wake up on the stove, wearing oven mitts for slippers. Don't worry, we'll fill you in on what you missed ... • NBA: Kobe records fourth straight game with 30-plus points as Lakers down Hawks.

Rosenhaus Sets T.O.'s Career Ablaze
One pretty amazing press conference involving Terrell Owens this afternoon. Owens came out and made a seemingly sincere statement, apologizing to his fans, the Eagles, Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, the owners, pretty much everybody but Jeff Garcia. We were watching it thinking, "Man, he actually see...

Manning's Cute Little Cheerleader Problem
As you might have noticed, sometimes we like to make fun of Peyton Manning's (heavily) rumored sexual orientation from time to time. But our degenerate gambler brother at Oddjack has a strange little scoop that implies Peyton likes to hang out with cheerleaders of his own. From former Indianapolis...

Freestyle With Ron Artest And He'll Be Your Best Friend
We remain impressed by the quality of guests that AOL Sports Bloggers Live have been bringing to their program. Dwyane Wade was on just the other day, and, in what's pretty clearly their best one yet, Ron Artest shows up and, as he tends to do, just starts freestyle rapping out of nowhere....

Leftovers: You're My Angel, You're My Everything

Internal Shakeups At ESPN's Original Entertainment
We hear serious rumblings of some big changes in ESPN's Original Entertainment. We hear that current executive producer Mike Antinoro is leaving the network for destinations yet unannounced (off to play with Bugs Bunny and Dan Snyder with his old buddy Mark Shapiro?), and that Executive Vice Presi...

Don't Forget About The Sex Cruise!
While the rest of us sully our filthy little minds with stories of lesbian cheerleaders, The Mighty MJD is keeping his eyes on the prize of the whole Vikings sex boat story. (How quickly we forget ...)...

Boy Meets Goat Meets Trampoline
Sure, we know what you're thinking: Another story about a goat and a trampoline. But this one is different — the goats (two, actually) are pets of a 12-year-old boy in Miami Township, Ohio, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The county is trying to evict the animals due to a zoning ...

Panthers Cheerleader Story Remains Hot Hot
Well, we're on day two of the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders story, and, frankly, we're not seeing much letup in the demand for more news news news! And we're with you. Today's big scoop (and big "ups," as the kids say) goes to the fine lads at YAYSports! who have brand-new EXCLUSIVE! photos culle...

Problem Is, He'd Keep Missing The Ribbon With The Scissors
From famed (and much better at this whole business than we are) New York blogger TMFTML, in response to the news that former quarterback bust Heath Shuler is running for Congress, floats the glorious notion of a Ryan Leaf candidacy....

Sean Salisbury Loves To Teach The Ladies Tricks
In his ESPN chat today, "analyst" Sean Salisbury "announced" the launch of his official Web site. We've been scanning it, and we're sad to say there isn't a single "Battlebots" reference. However: Salisbury does post a bizarre press release thing about some "seminar" on teaching women about footb...

Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks: Jim Souhan
OK, we surrender. The white flag you see waving above the rubble means that we're coming out peacefully, kicking several weeks worth of Jim Souhan columns ahead of us. That's it, you've taken all the fight out of us. We have freaking had it with writing like Souhan's — the tortured prose; the slop...

With Enough Weed, What's The Difference?
From the NFL Wives Yahoo Group, in response to the query (not from us, we swear) "Ladies please name any and every athlete whether NFL, NBA or NCAA that is Bi Sexual or just plain GAY!!!."...
