Nothing Says The EPL Like A Botched Orgy
You know, if you can't trust a soccer player to behave himself during an orgy with his teammates and prostitutes, sheesh, who can you trust?...
Pac Man Is "Wrestling" At The Wrong Time
Before your proverbial panties are proverbially bunched by Pac Man Jones not really wrestling, the fine gents at Rich Kotite Banged Your Mom remind us that, in the olden days of 12 years ago, NFL players didn't just wrestle, they headlined Wrestlemania. There was no worry about injury back then, tho...
Actually, It Kind Of Reminds One Of The NFC West
Because college football season is almost here, and because I can already picture Joe Paterno leading a player around by the nose with a pair of pliers, I give you this ... one more reason to love Philadelphia. I mean, besides the Rocky statue, and the fact that Eagles fans travel all the way to Tex...
Our Rick Ankiel Weekend
It really has been bizarre to watch the reaction to Rick Ankiel's triumphant return to St. Louis as a power-hitting outfielder. We understand that it's an inspiring story — obviously — but it's still odd to see a guy we've been quietly stalking following for seven years now suddenly leading newscast...
Hammerin' Hank's Thesaurus
• Hank Aaron, more careful with his words than you even realize. [Foul Balls] • Jeff Reed ain't looking for nothin' but a good time. [Doubt About It] • Hanley Ramirez has been rather awesome this year. [Vegas Watch] • Debating the "draft your star's backup" strategy of fantasy football. [Ghosts Of W...
NFL Season Preview: Jacksonville Jaguars
Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it....
Trying Hard To Be Pure Of Spirit
David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer....
Scoop Jackson And NOIS Meet
Sometimes, when two great minds converge, it can be blinding, like a supernova that outshines its entire host galaxy before fading from view over several weeks or months, or like when they crossed the streams in Ghostbusters....
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 2 p.m. Madden challenge legends: Wait ... THE Jarvis "Young Jarvis" Thomas? • 3 p.m. Fantasy baseball with Pete Becker: Wherefore art thou, Chase Utley? • 4 p.m. Video games w/Aaron Boulding: We're in The Matrix! I need fresh air!...
Pac Man Jones, Making It Pain
Far be it from us to impugn the trustworthiness of professional wrestling, but when a court order comes down saying that the headliner of your pay-per-view event "could not touch or be touched, grapple, shove, throw or have anything thrown at him by anyone working for or watching the show," well, we...
Sorry, Seattle: Your Hoops Team Is Gone
So you know Sonics fans were holding out hope that the Kevin Durant acquisition might spur the new ownership group — which hails from Oklahoma City — to keep the team in Seattle? We wouldn't hold your breath on that....
Vick's Gonna Sit A Year Out ... At Least
Peter King says it's not official yet, but Yahoo Sports — sorry: Yahoo! — has the big scoop: Michael Vick will be suspended for the entire 2007 season....
"How's Tiger Doing?"
It is not, inherently, in the sports fan's nature to root for the dominant favorite. We love underdogs, the scrappy upstart coming from nowhere and upsetting the proverbial applecart; it's our own sad, tiny way of imagining that, sometimes, sports can speak truth to power....
The Orioles Were Who We Thought They Were
And Kevin Millar has left town ... no need to worry about him for awhile. For those who are not Boston fans (and therefore do not have their heads in ovens right now), it was ex-Sox Millar's game-winning home run that gave the Orioles a 6-3 win over the Sox on Sunday; while Jason Giambi was homering...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while watching the meteor shower ... • Golf: Tiger Woods ships off PGA Championship trophy to whatever warehouse holds all of his other metal stuff. • Tennis: Holy crap, is the start of the Novak Djokovic Era in tennis, and I have nothing to wear. • MLB: It's the end of the world as ...
Trip Fisk Probably Isn't A Scimitar Fan, Either
There. I somehow tied a random YouTube video to a sports story. Cash me, Denton....
