Finally, YouTube Of Monday-Cooper, Part II
We know, it's a week-and-a-half old now, but we never did get a hold of YouTube of the gripping finale of the Carl Monday-Mike Cooper saga, and it has been nagging us, since we this whole thing started from YouTube anyway....
A Game Grows In Brooklyn
One of our favorite places to watch a baseball game is KeySpan Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones. It's small, intimate and yet still has the carnival atmosphere we love minor league baseball games to have. Well, yesterday, they had the ultimate baseball experience: They...
Boy, This Busch Stadium Place Is Great
Five minutes before first pitch at 7:05 at Busch Stadium last night, all was well. We were sitting in the bleachers with our father and our fiancee, scorebook and four pens in hand, watching David Eckstein toss pop-ups with a kid who had won some contest. It was hot, but it had been hot all week, ...
One Final Monday-Cooper Explosion ... Be Ready
So if you're like us and you spend your weekends doing everything you can to avoid the computer, you might not know about this yet. So we feel like maybe you should sit down. Take a deep breath. You might not be ready....
Wayne Rooney Has A Book
England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has penned an autobiography. And even though he's just 20 years old and doesn't look like the brightest guy around, I find the fact that Rooney has an autobiography way less ridiculous than the fact that Terrell Owens has two. Some tidbits from Wa...
It Just Keeps Giving
I'm afraid I gave you only part of the story with the earlier Mike Cooper post. Carl Monday has gotten himself involved again, and where there's Carl Monday, there's more story....
Mike Cooper Avoids Jail Time; Prison Showers
The sentence has come down, once again, courtesy of our man Jimbo. Mike Cooper, he of library-masturbating fame, was found guilty, and was fined $150 plus court costs. That's it. Bail was $500,000, and the fine is $150. All is well that ends well, I suppose. Who among us hasn't paid $150 for an or...
The Mike Cooper Sentencing ... You Are There!
Well, the Mike Cooper sentencing is over, and our man Jimbo was, indeed, there. We're still not sure precisely what Cooper's sentence was — Jimbo didn't make it that far into the proceedings — but he was there, and he even captured Cooper and his parents on his camera phone ... kind of....
Scott Speed's Impressive Size And Girth
If you're not a Formula One Grand Prix fan — like, say, just about everybody — you might not know that Scott Speed, last weekend in Indianapolis, became the first American to drive Formula One in 12 years. It was a short ride, though; he crashed in the first lap....
God Refuses To Save The Queen
...but Portuguese goalie Ricardo saved just about everything. God left the queen hanging out to dry on penalty kicks, after 120 minutes of scoreless play. Penalties were 3-1 in favor of Portugal, and they'll be advancing to face the winner of Brazil/France in the semifinals....
You Stay White, Miami
At the end of yesterday's victory parade for the Miami Heat, Shaq grabbed the microphone and asked, "Who wanna see Coach Riley dance?" For reasons I can't begin to understand, the people of Miami responded affirmatively, and then the following took place:...
Of Mad Dogs, Nike And Englishmen
This Nike ad featuring England young turk Wayne Rooney, apparently, is drawing all kinds of ire in England....
Heat Win First-Ever Title, And Even Cuban's Classy About It
Even though their apparently show their loyalty by dressing up like Klan members — even when they're not actually at the arena in which the games are being played, like in this picture — and even though they don't have an owner whose brain is always on the verge of a noisy (and always smart and en...
Jerry Stackhouse And Common Sense Have Been Suspended
Jerry Stackhouse was found to be in violation of the NBA's strict "Do Not Touch Shaquille O'Neal" policy yesterday, as the league announced that it was suspending him for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Stackhouse committed a hard foul on Shaq as the big man was driving for a lay-up. Have a look:...
The Kids, They Like The Golf
We've been trying to fire ourselves up for tomorrow's U.S. Open — the amount of morale-pumping required to maintain a face-painting level of excitement for televised golf is sometimes more than we can muster — but we just can't quite regurgitate the same Tiger vs. Phil stories. Sorry. We don't have ...
Is This It For Shaq, Wade And Riley?
Well, if you're not too busy waving David Hasselhoff masks like a maniac, you should certainly be intrigued by tonight's NBA Finals Game 3. The Heat obviously have to win, and the game is perhaps as important to Shaquille O'Neal's legacy as it is to Pat Riley and the rest of the Heat. Even Dwyane ...
Today In Soccer...
• Your World Cup Togo Update: The Togoans, or Togoites, or Togolese players, whatever it is that they're called, are demanding 155,000 euros each to even play in the tournament, plus 30,000 euros for each win and 15,000 for each draw. The government says "No, we're poor, and you suck." It might tu...
Shaq Gets His Big Ass Back In The Finals
Things may have finally gotten rough enough for Pistons guard Rip Hamilton, who loves to spout his slogan, "If it ain't rough, it ain't right," which has always sounded slightly dirty to me....
Your Last World Cup News Of The Day
The Mighty MJD points us to a Web site of considerable terror: Heal Rooney, a page featuring a huge picture (purportedly) of injured England striker Wayne Rooney, who is still in danger of missing the World Cup. The premise of the site, apparently, is for you, the user, to roll your mouse over Roo...
Another Nasty, Evil Fan Speaks
Remember that story from the other day, when Cubs outfielder Jacque Jones was heckled by some Wrigley Field fans and were promptly berated by Jones' mother?...
