One of the first ones we loved was Batgirl, author Anne Ursu's playful, cute and hilarious ode to al...
Yes. Right. Playoffs. Still Happening. Got It.

Andy Roddick Is Not That Jacked Up
Last week, TMZ pointed out that the new cover of Men's Fitness featured a suspiciously pumped-up Andy Roddick. Well, Roddick himself has chimed in, in that wonderful English we've come to love and expect from our professional tennis players....
Donyell Marshall Apparently Doesn't Care Enough About LeBron's Legacy
It is only through the filter of Michael Jordan, the man whose ghost still floats above everything LeBron James does both on and off the court, that LeBron's 10-point performance in the Cavs' 79-76 Game 1 loss to the Pistons can be considered a failure. It was the best of all possible scenarios for ...
Cavaliers Get The Chance To Make Us Care
At this point, most of the NBA world is so afraid of a Spurs-Pistons final that they're willing to do anything to prevent, even rooting for a listless, clearly distracted LeBron James to fulfill some sort of imaginary destiny. We'll find out if he can start it off tonight. Surely, if the Bulls can w...

Fortunately, Nobody Wants To Watch A Playoff Overtime
As MJD pointed out yesterday, NBC, amazingly, cut away from the Senators-Sabres Game 5 overtime yesterday to show ... the first two hours of the Preakness prerace coverage. That's right: Rather than show the most exciting part of an entire hockey season, NBC chose to show Bob Costas interview people...
Have The Conference Finals Started Yet?
At this point, barring a massive surge from LeBron James or Deron Williams deciding to score 18 points in the fourth quarter of every game, that the last image of these playoffs is going to involve Baron Davis, not Tim Duncan or Tayshaun Prince. The Western conference finals started yesterday, and w...
