Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
This Is Getting Ridiculous
Lee to Theriot to Dempster is the new Tinkers to Evers to Chance? With a runner on third and nursing a one-run lead, reliever Ryan Dempster induced a bad-hop grounder to first baseman Derek Lee, who converted it into a game-ending double play. Cubs 3, Astros 2, and coupled with Milwaukee's 7-4 loss ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while dropping a dime on Jimmy Two Times ... • Soccer: You tell your king that William Wallace will NOT be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live. Scotland 1, France 0. • MLB: Aaaannd ... we're tied again. Somebody end this. Pirates 7, Brewers 4. • Tennis: Hantuchova (bless you)...
At Last, Ned Has His Opportunity At Revenge
Sure, you can talk all you want about Michigan-Notre Dame — and the apparent curse of Bo Schembechler — but the real story this weekend is what's happening at the Orange Bowl on Saturday. That's right: It's the return of Ned!...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as global warming melts your cold, indifferent heart ... • MLB: Atlanta at New York Mets. It's Mr. Met's September victory lap. [ESPN] • Chicago Cubs at Houston. Back into first, or slip 'n slide toward doom? [WGN] • UFC: UFC Unleashed. It's either this or 5 a.m. women's soccer. [Spike...
Off To Seattle We Go ...
In about two hours, we'll be hopping on a plane — JetBlue; we love the JetBlue — for the sunny peninsula of Seattle, Washington. (Note: Seattle is neither sunny nor a peninsula.) We've got quite a weekend schedule in Seattle, thanks largely to the fine folks at KJR 950, which has even set up the wo...
Anybody Out There Notice The Indians?
We'll confess, we're as guilty as anyone: No one seems to have noticed that the Cleveland Indians are in striking distance of the best record in baseball....
Hawaii Loves Its Haka
The Hawaii Rainbows have taken, to fire themselves up, to doing the Haka before games. The Haka is mostly famous for being the intimidating pregame ritual for the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. Now the Rainbows do it, mostly because their name is the Rainbows. But the WAC is not happy about it,...
Vote Boulware! (Or Something)
When we think about NFL players of the last 10 years or so we'd imagine running for office someday, we can't say that former Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware was the first guy to come to mind. He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...
What Went Wrong With Beckham And The MLS?
This is the main picture you see of David Beckham anymore; sitting in a luxury box with his oddly named children, watching his "teammates" of the LA Galaxy play (and lose) without him. The rumors about Beckham being "lent" to England appear to be without merit, but, clearly, Beckham's first year in ...
PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life
We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with p...
Isiah Thomas Is Smooth With His Corporate Sponsors
If you haven't been paying attention — and we briefly looked away ourselves — the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment trial is already far more fun than it has any right to be. Yesterday, Anucha Browne Sanders testified about some disagreements she had with Isiah. She had a lot to say, but not nearly as ...
The Worst Days To Be A Buzzsaw
• We disagree with No. 1 — nothing will ever, EVER beat that Bears loss — but this is a compelling list of crushing Buzzsaw losses. [Arizona Sports Hub] • Are Rutgers fans becoming assholes? [College Gameballs] • What they found in the Raiders' Black Hole. [The Sports Hernia] • Who is really controv...
The NFL Should Combat All Those Who Hurt Its Image
In an age of unprecedented NFL scandals, and player being suspended every which way for conduct detrimental to the league, "satire" blog Pray For Mojo brings up something that's ridiculous, yet just based in truth enough to seem a little scary: Suspensions for Tom Brady and Matt Leinart for having c...
Kige Ramsey Is No Sell Out!
It appears our friend Kige is growing larger than we ever could have imagined: He's now doing paid advertisements....
You Should See His ... Well, You Know
Cricket is a man's sport. You don't tend the wickets without paying the price, as Engalnd's Dave Morrison shows here in that bastion of journalism integrity and excellence, The Sun. Actually I know nothing of cricket, or the British health care system, but one thing I do know: Dave gives the best e...
