Phil Mickelson and John Daly Might As Well Go Get Wasted in a Pub
Rolling into the British Open Phil Mickelson was optimistic this could be his year. By 10:30 eastern, we knew that wasn't the case. The Hefty Left swung his manboobs from one side of the fairway to the other on his way to a robust 79. At least he didn't waste any time taking himself out of competiti...
90-Year-Old Pittsburgh Woman Rocking New Steelers Tat

Buzz And Me: An FAQ
Those foolish enough to miss the season premiere of "Project Runway" — and those not "connected" enough for ESPY tickets — might have stumbled across the newest episode of "Costas Now" last night. It was entirely about baseball. Hey, I love baseball! That didn't make the show any less dull; that i...
Sammy Sosa Dissed By All-Star Signage
I'm no Cubs fan, but I'm pretty sure that Aramis Ramirez does not in fact own the Cubs' franchise record for home runs with 38. I can think of about eight players off the top of my head who had more; and Big League Stew can come up with even more. But since this is on the scoreboard at the All-Star ...

Noticeably absent during the whole Brett Favre telenovela has been Fox Sports' NFL dirt dog, Jay Glazer.

Alright, Brett Favre Might Be Kind Of A Dick
Amidst all the Brett Favre will he?/won't he?-coverage during the past two weeks, one topic that's come a lot is the status of his precious legacy in the eyes of his fans and the league. The Brett Favre purists and sycophants don't want to see Brett be "Willie Mays on the Mets" "Johnny Unitas on the...
World Cup 2010: South Africa's Plans to Legalize Prostitution Scrutinized
When are John McCain and Barack Obama going to step up to the plate and demand legalization for the Super Bowl? Pansies, I tell you, each of them. The South African plan would only legalize prostitution for the length of the World Cup and then the laws would return to normal. Just like the marriages...

The Dushbag Chronicles: The Legitimacy Of Debbie Clemens' Body Still Being Scrutinized
Roger Clemens' Brian McNamee-is-lyin' defense took another hit yesterday, when noted roid-pusher and former Mets' clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski told the Feds he had sent HGH samples to the Clemens' home in Texas and he's got the receipts to prove it.
