The Shocking Jose Offerman Video
As everyone struggles to come to terms with Jose Offerman's blatant attack with a baseball bat on Tuesday, we note that apparently no video of the incident exists. Which is probably for the best. In fact, this was the best we could find. Major League-ready swing, that guy....
If Only The Large Breasted Hot Women Would Leave Athletes Alone!
The handsome rapscallion you see right there is Will Demps, a slightly mediocre free safety for the New York Giants who's pretty much destined to be on a reality show in six years. He's a smoldering fellow, and you know what that means: He just can't keep the groupies off him....
Examining Jorts
• Jorts: What does it all MEAN? [ClayNation] • It's ALWAYS fun to talk about college basketball. [Vegas Watch] • Jose Offerman was just honoring baseball history! [One More Dying Quail] • The ridiculousness of the Redskins playbook. [More Credible] • Look, cool white guys! [Ghosts Of Wayne Fontes] •...
NFL Season Preview: Detroit Lions
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....
He Got His Cover, So Now He's Gone
How exciting it must be, to be 20 years old, a sophomore in college and on the cover of Sports Illustrated's College Football Preview edition. (SI has the Illini going 7-5!) What a thrill. What an honor....
The Super Bowl Gets More SUPER
You might think that Richard Simmons hanging out with Howie Long and company is just an anomaly, a tiny bit of happenstance. But then again, you don't know who's hosting the pregame and halftime festivities for Fox at Super Bowl XLII....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation announcers ... • Noon. MLB with Page 2's Jonah Keri: Wow, it's just like Deadspin in here. Except for the words, and the layout, and the pictures. • 3 p.m. Golf with Jason Sobel: Will Tiger's back-to-nature golf course include a petting zoo? • 4 p.m....
Bledsoe Never Really Wanted To Play
It is only in retirement that Drew Bledsoe confirmed what we always pretty much knew: He never really wanted to be much of a football player....
There's Madness Behind The Mask
To help celebrate Bobby Cox's record 132nd career ejection (he was tossed again on Wednesday), Sons of Sam Malone compiled the Top 5 Manager Ejections of recent years. It is a fine list, a noble list, and makes me want to crawl on all fours and pretend to lob a grenade. 'But hey,' you may be saying ...
Careful Where You Work Out, Shuttlesworth
Everything's hunky dory for Ray Allen these days. He's gone from being the lone stud on a lousy team to part of an axis powers of superstars for one of sports' most historic franchises. Things are looking up. Unfortunately, as he apparently realized recently, he's still a black athlete in Boston....
Lots Of Announcers Saying "Bend It"
Any questions? I trust all of you who participated in the month-long orgy of Becklash after Goldenballs landed on our fair shores and healed his ankle poolside at Tom and Katie's will at least stay quiet for another week and let the rest of us enjoy last night's Hollywood moment....
Jobu Come, Take Fear From Bats
Fausto Carmona made sure that the only really compelling race in baseball stayed that way on Wednesday. What, Brewers-Cubs? Yankees-Red Sox? This is me yawning. OK, now this is me going to the fridge for an RC Cola. While I'm gone, reflect on Carmona's career-high 10 strikeouts and his 14th win, the...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while discovering that one of your raccoons has hepatitis ... • Soccer: David Beckham, bitches! • MLB: It ... Is ... ALIVE! Cardinals 3 1/2 out of first. • Tennis: Federer breezes, Nadal says No Mas....
Jason Grilli Is Pretty Sure He Has Fans
Any athlete with his own Web site has several options. He can be entirely weird and wonderful. He can speak blandly about this team and life As A Baseball Player. He can sporadically update and ask for charitable donations. Or he can just try to sell shit. Or, if you're Tigers pitcher Jason Grilli, ...
