Sabathia One-Hits, Possibly No-Hits Bucs
I'd say this trade has worked out well for the Brewers, wouldn't you? CC Sabathia was ridiculously dominant again today as Milwaukee beat the Pirates 7-0, strengthening their hold on the NL wild card. Sabathia only allowed one piddly little hit, and according to ESPN, even that has yet to be finally...

Ricky Williams Gets High...er Salary, 1-Year Extension
The love affair between Miami RB Ricky Williams and Dolphins management is in full bloom, as the NFL's house practitioner of holistic medicine received an extension through the 2009 season, and reportedly a pay raise to boot. Terms of the raise were not disclosed, but my guess is that it involves la...

Make of this what you will, but there is a yet-to-be-confirmed rumour floating out there that Tom Brady's foot injury may be worse than he's been letting on. Like, "out for four games" worse. From NFL Juice: ...
Does The Governor's Cup Also Contain The Governor's Jewels?
Louisville and Kentucky deserve credit today for saving us from the Sunday blahs by actually scheduling their game one full week before the bulk of the NFL slate gets underway (3:30, ESPN). No, it's not basketball, but it's a fun in-state rivalry, matching up teams that have recently been competitiv...
Great Moments in Confused Skydiving
The Tar Heels football program planned to kick off their season in style yesterday.

Would You Let This Woman Handle Your Stub?
I don't know how you feel about Jean Hsu (Jean who?) but that broad knows how to get into a tennis tournament. Somehow, she and a friend scored front row seats to an Andy Roddick match.

CBS' MMA Property Might Get KTFO
It's common sense that any sports league needs the cash and exposure that come from being on television, and while the big sports have tidy, lucrative TV deals in place, there's one league that's still sorting out its path to the living rooms of America. No, NHL, we're not talking about you. UFC, th...

Woody Paige and Jay Crawford fans can breath a sigh of relief: sexual harassment charges against the two have been thrown out of a Manhattan court.

Pre-Draft Fantasy Update: Fred Taylor To Split Carries, Arrested [UPDATED]
It's stories like this that give the phrase "arrested at 4 a.m. outside a South Beach Club" a bad name. Miami Beach police charged Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor with disorderly conduct yesterday outside the awesomely named "Club Cristal". Taylor wasn't jailed, but instead pinky-swore...
A Tale of Two Bullpens
•Back Away From the Ledge, Mets Fans: In all fairness, you can't expect a major league bullpen to hold a one-run lead for almost three whole innings.

Starting 0-1 Hurts, And It Should
You know that the shittiness of a boring sports summer (with apologies to Michael Phelps) is subsiding when the universities of America put on their pads and start beating the hell out of each other again.
