The All Josh Hamilton Edition
Each weekday morning Awful Announcing, video slash and grab extraordinaire of the sports blogosphere, gives us a visual rundown of everything you missed from the night before. If there's something sports-related you'd like to see with your coffee, shoot him an e-mail and let him know....
Josh Hamilton Doesn't Win Home Run Derby, And You Don't Care
Congratulations to Justin Morneau for winning the Home Run Derby. Too bad the stories tomorrow aren't going to be about you and instead about Josh Hamilton's 28 longballs in the first, his tattoos, his rehab-induced dream about doing this, and his blow habit....
Home Run Derby Live Blog
Eight guys with bats. One Berman. And Three Doors Down, for some reason. It's a Home Run Derby live blog, Charlie Brown. Please adorn your Chan Ho Park faces (for safety reasons) before entering the dinger zone after the Gordon Jump....
The Mighty Wind Of The All-Star Game Festivities Comes Blowin' In
That's apple-bottomed "Today Show" correspondent Maria Menounous all decked out in her finest Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball game get-up presumably ducking from the unholy zephyr that has taken hold of Billy Baldwin's comb-over. This event will be seen tonight on ESPN after the Ho...
Marbury's Head Tattoo Reveals Itself To The Cheap Sneaker-Hungry Masses
Here it is, in all of its brand-pate'n glory, with nary a photoshop magician in sight. Starbury took some time to speak with announcers about his new fashionable (and cheap!) head tat during the Cleveland Cavaliers/New York Knicks summer league game. It's probably as subtle as you can get for a head...
Naked Rock Climbing Hugely Popular with Hot Chicks in America
At least according to the loveable British newspaper The Daily Mail (Some of these images may not be safe for your place of employment. But they're rather tame on the nude-lady-rock-climbing pictorial scale.)The Brit newspaper says, "It is the latest extreme sport craze to sweep the US, and is now t...
Why Is Brett Favre Talking To This Woman?
The strange and seemingly unending saga of Brett Favre's un-retirement took another odd twist this afternoon, as Brett decided that the first person he would talk to about this whole mess is none other than Fox News talking blech Greta Van Susteren. Huh?...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while relaxing on the folding sofa ... • Cycling: Tour de France, stage 10, Pau to Hautacam, France (8 p.m., ET). But emotionally I'm only at stage 9! [Versus] • MLB: Home Run Derby, at New York (8 p.m., ET). Team Uggla, represent. [ESPN] • MLB: Taco Bell Legends & Celebrity Softball G...
Dara Torres' Ex-Husband: Low On Sperm, High On Animosity
It appears the press might be getting a little sick of Dara Torres' old lady swim feats. At least that's the only reason it would seem the Palm Beach Post has decided to interview her embittered ex-husband. West Palm surgeon Itzhak Shasha and Torres were married for 16 months, but then divorced. Soo...
Dallas Talk Radio Rift Features Guns, Women, Booze, Cocaine, and Suicide Attempt
Before reading this story I had no idea who Dallas talk radio host Greg Williams was or why I'd be remotely interested in how he lost his radio gig and came close to taking his life. With Mike and the Mad Dog's alleged feud getting a ton of attention, this story is worth a read and no one is paying ...
Afternoon Blogdome: Colt Brennan Is Ready To Be Objectified
• Somewhere Jeremy Bloom is crying: Last year, Brady Quinn took the homosexual world by storm and this year, it appears the Washington Redskins have hit paydirt with their gay fanbase by signing Colt Brennan. Judging by some of the excitement about Brennan in the past — "Was anyone watching College ...
Dan Patrick Bites Back (Softly) At Jason Whitlock
Unamused by Jason Whitlock's "Football Night In America" take-down piece, Dan Patrick fired back at the mighty Whitlock today on his radio show. Patrick was pretty reserved, but seemed a little miffed at how he was painted by Whitlock as a person "who doesn't care about football." Patrick said on ai...
Charles Barkley Knows Not Of These 'Blogs' You Speak Of
So I was mocked repeatedly for my "interview" with Charles Barkley on Thursday, when I introduced myself and told him that I would be blogging his rounds all weekend. Yes, it somewhat resembled Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. But I'll have you know that from that brief exchange came the ca...
Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....
Scott Boras Emerges In Toronto For Rodriguez Peacekeeping Mission
Given all the wackiness that's ensued since Alex Rodriguez marital woes have hit the news cycle, it's tough to disseminate between truth, fiction, fodder, and horseshit hearsay. Strangely, some of the gossip has been true to a certain degree — Madonna has "canoodled" with A-Rod; Cynthia has used Len...
The Biggest Attractions In Tahoe Were Not Necessarily Golfers
It's true: Tony Romo did fall into a pond at the American Century Championship. And was rescued by a hockey player. But practically no one noticed, as Jessica Simpson was rocking the white dress with the orange whoozits and wowing the crowd with her intellectual prowess. Typical exchange: "Jessica! ...
Cornhole Tournament Comes to Soldier Field
It's been my experience that the only thing more popular in Cincinnati than playing cornhole is going to Kentucky for the night life. For the uninitiated cornhole is an intensely complicated game where you toss bean bags into holes. It's impossible to go to any sporting event in the Midwest or the S...
This Has Become One Famous Wingnut
By now you've seen the exquisite tirade of Wichita Wingnuts manager Kash Beachamp, who executed both the smelly shoe and the armpit maneuver in an argument with a home plate umpire in an Independent American Association game last week. Well, the commotion has still not died down. Who would have thou...
Clearly, He's Not Called Mr. October Because Of Sukkot
Determined to make his All-Star game visit to New York as uncomfortable as possible, the New York Post is reporting that former Yankee Reggie Jackson might have a little bit of a sensitivity problem when it comes to his Hebrew friends....
