Another Typical Day At The Fox-Attached-To-Your-Arm 2K Run
Well, there goes my idea for a children's book. A Prescott, Arizona jogger ran a mile with a rabid fox clamped to her arm, then tossed the animal into her car trunk before driving to the hospital, authorities said. The woman, whose name was not released, is receiving rabies vaccinations. As is the f...
It Ain't Easy Being Peezy...
Popcorn-muscled Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter picked a new target this week for his venomous trash-talk and this week's victim is Jacksonville Jaguars' receiver Matt Jones. You might remember when Jones was caught chopping a pile of cocaine in a pick-up truck in June, as did Peezy, who had this to...
Going For Gold At The Peasant Olympics
You didn't think that China spent $500 million of our hard-earned mortgage debt on the Bird's Nest just so some namby pamby athletes could run around inside it for two weeks and then let it sit empty, did you? There are plenty of other athletic contests that can be held there. Like the popular and e...
No, I Give YOU The Yellow Card!
There has to be some way to get Andre Luis to the U.S., get him in a Dallas Cowboys ... or better yet, Cincinnati Bengals, uniform, and sit back and watch the fun. Here's my favorite video of the week so far, which shows the Botafogo defender objecting to receiving a yellow card in the Copa Sudameri...
Stat Nerd Better At Predicting Elections Than Predicting The NL East
If you're a seamhead, you know Nate Silver as the Baseball Prospectus geek who has probably forgotten more about algorithms than you and I will ever know. He invented the PECOTA projection system, which predicted Tampa Bay's first 90-win season way back in February when the Devil Rays were still the...
We Have An Opening Bid In The Manny Auction
The Dodgers have an offer on the table to keep Manny Ramirez, but is it just for show? We'd know better if we knew what it was, but GM Ned Colleti isn't talking. Speculation is that it's "either two years for $50 million or three years for $75 million," according to the Los Angeles Times. That's les...

Gimme The Damn Drapes!
Keyshawn Johnson's post-NFL career as an ESPN analyst has established him as a compelling on-air personality. Television producers have noticed, and now the loudmouth former receiver with the sartorial flair is taking his eye for interior design to the people — and basic cable. In one of the wackies...
Perhaps Burglars Should Skip Ronnie Wilson's House
One, two, three, four, five ... I count about 20 direct hits on the target here, proof that you should probably not try the window at Ronnie Wilson's place if you forget your key. Wilson has had plenty of time for traget pratice lately after being suspended by Florida coach Urban Meyer, who acknowle...
Michael Irvin Shares His Surprising Post-Election Thoughts With the World
ESPN's Mike and Mike in the morning had ex-Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin call in and share his thoughts about last night's election of Barack Obama.

Ohhh, Direct Hit! Soccer Player Down!
It's never been rocket science to be a European soccer fan, until now. These people are now armed with the latest technology.

Pill-Popping Trouble In Ryan Leaf Land
It was just a couple months ago when Portfolio.com did an interesting feature about the post-NFL career of quarterback Ryan Leaf, detailing his remarkable success as football and golf coach at West Texas A & M and, most surprising, the fact that he's still a multi-millionaire thanks to past endorsem...

Stephon Marbury Doomed To Wander Knicks Sideline For All Eternity

Team president Donnie Walsh and new head coach Mike ...
Drunken Redneck Browns Fan Ushers In Brady Quinn Era
These videos were taken last season, when this anonymous Browns fan — we'll call him Doyle, because he reminds me of the Dwight Yoakum stepfather character in Sling Blade — was quite comfortable with the way things were playing out in his world. But as Busted Coverage points out, now "there's a b...
