Michael Phelps Attempts To Keep America Interested In Olympics Tonight
It seems impossible that Michael Phelps will actually win 8 gold medals, but it's a nice thought. If he doesn't win 8, is Phelps' run at Beijing an epic failure? What if he wins 7? Or even 6? No Wheaties box for you, buddy. Jason Lezak helped him out last night, but tonight it's the 200 freestyle fi...

Sean Salisbury Has Finally Conquered His Fear Of The Internet
There have been numerous stories about what Sean Salisbury's been up to since his unfortunate dismissal from ESPN last winter: He's been sulking quietly at home; he's been popping up at random football camps; he's just been hanging out doing his Salisbury-thing, embracing his new found freedom to c...
Let Leo Pitch! Cubs Tempt Fate By Dissing Their Oldest Fan
Leo Hildebrand wants to throw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game. And since the 104-year-old is one of the few living things old enough to have actually seen the Cubs win a World Series (the bristlecone pine and certain species of desert tortoise are the others), one would think that the tea...

Craig Sager Wears Matching Thongs, Has a Blond Fetish, and Loves the Lithuanian Dance Team
Without a doubt Dan Steinberg has conducted the finest interview of the 2008 Olympics. (Honest to God, I just linked the fleshbot Nebraska photos the first time. Whew, that was close. You're safe, I promise.) If you've been watching the Olympics you've probably noticed that Sager isn't wearing his ...
Did The White Sox Just Win The Central?
So the White Sox lost Jose Contreras for the season on Saturday in a loss to Boston, falling out of first in the Central. That made Sunday's contest somewhat more than your run-of-the-mill game. And Chicago's 6-5, come-from-behind win over the Red Sox just may have put them back into first place for...
Olympic Pistol Chicks Are Scary, Inspiring
Olympic highlights from today ... or was it yesterday? Or possibly a few hours in the future. I'm just not sure ...

You Taste Of America, Jason Lezak

Morning Blogdome: He's Pretty Humble For A Guy In An Expensive Suit Making Pouty Faces For The Camera
• Tom Brady knows that he's just a handsome man chucking an oblong ball made of dead pig:" Look at the attention I get: It's because I throw a football. But that's what society values. That's not what God values. God could give a shit, as far as I'm concerned. He didn't invent the game. We did. I ha...
