Today's Bible Lesson: Girls Can't Play Football
There may be nothing in the rulebook that says a mule can't play football, but there's another rule book out there that apparently does say something about girls not being place kickers. That was news to Kacy Stuart, a 14-year-old lass from Spaulding County, Georgia, who is playing for the New Crea...
World Series Preview: Rays Vs. Phillies
The World Series is truly my favorite week of the year. Having the World Series going on is an excuse that gets you out of anything, every year. No matter what plans I might be forced into, all I have to say is, "Hey, the World Series is on," and people understand. You know how Will gets about his ...

Browns Suspend Kellen Winslow For Defending His Testicles
Can a team suspend a player for defending his own nether region? It appears that's exactly what the Cleveland Browns are doing with Kellen Winslow, and excuse me if I call them on their bullshit.

The Phillies Put One In the Win Column Already
Home Run Derby kicks off its World Series coverage in the classiest way possible, by pitting the Ball Girls of the Philadelphia against those people that jump on top of the dugout for the Tampa Bay Rays.

LA Times Sports Writer Chooses Not to Lop Off Penis; Paper is Thrilled
LA Times sports writer Mike Penner made national news last year when he wrote his "Old Mike, New Christine" column about his life as a transsexual and his decision to undergo surgery so he could become "Christine Daniels" for the rest of his journalism career. Well, just like a fickle woman, Mike ch...
Begun, The Blog Wars Have
David Berry never started out to be the Che Guevera of the sports blogosphere. He's actually quite mild-mannered — even for a Canadian — and doesn't even own a beret.

Jemele Hill Just Taking This Whole Lou Holtz-Hitler Backlash in Stride

Not Possible!: The Legend Of Steve Buckhantz
You may remember me saying earlier that I'm not a huge NBA fan, but maybe that's because I don't get to watch enough games narrated by Steve Buckhantz. The Washington Wizards play-by-play man is shall we say ... easily excitable. Like Gus Johnson-level excitable. And because this is the way things w...

The Fact That Kimbo Slice Lost is Purely Coincidental
Even though Elite XC said that Kimbo Slice's controversial loss to pink-haired Seth Petruzelli wasn't the death knell for its slipshod fight promotions company, it appears that proclamation was 100% false. Today, ProElite Inc., the owners of the EliteXC has officially closed up its sweat shop foreve...
Tiger Woods Caddies, Splits Early, Gets No Tip
Who was that caddying at Torrey Pines on Monday? Tiger Woods? Yep, it's true. He was lugging the clubs for 59-year-old New Jersey pressman John Abel, to whom I would have paid a princely amount to just once say to Tiger: "I said a five-iron, dumbass!" That would have ruled. Actually when I say "lugg...
NO MORE COWBELL: The Wretchedness of Tampa Bay's Fledgling Fanbase
Yesterday, we ran The Angryville Chronicles, showcasing the worst-of-the-worst of Philadelphia's spirited sports-loving miscreants. Not surprisingly, the stories about Tampa fans were not as interesting. In fact, I received even more Philadelphia horror stories. Maybe there's some truth to this rep...
