Morning Blogdome: The Breakfast of Sideline Princesses
• Erin Andrews hogs out in Tampa: “I always go to Village Inn for breakfast with my dad Steve. I crush the French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. I’m totally excited for that.” [Busted Coverage] • Sal Pal gets housed in book review: "The actual chapters of How Football Explains America are all but ...
Details In Travis Henry Drug Bust Emerge; Will Soon Become A Martin Scorcese Movie
Below is the arrest affidavit on the Travis Henry drug bust from Wednesday, and it's fascinating reading, or at least as good as a typical episode of The Wire. All the requisite elements for a compelling cop drama are there, including a snitch, a sting operation, a drug ripoff, and Henry himself thr...
Not A Bad Way to Spend a Wednesday Afternoon in the Rain
One jumbo hot dog. One cheeseburger. One heat lamp Schmitter. Seven beers. 1-0. The only thing that was pretty about it was Cole Hamels who did everything he was supposed to do as the reluctant ace of the staff. Other than that — thank you Mike Cameron. I guess his glove is also no longer using perf...
We Knew This Might Happen When Tom Brady Went Out For The Season
Don't tell Mr. Iracane I said this, but there are times when someone is interested in your fantasy team. Case in point: This somewhat hilarious case from Florida, where murder nearly resulted from a spat over a handful of fantasy football points. "Only one point for a 50-yard field goal? I cut you!"...
Did Kendra Wilkinson Dump Hank Baskett?
I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just going to say it: Apparently, Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkinson are no longer together. (Some are taking the news kind of hard). It's sad, because if these two crazy kids can't make it, what chance do the rest of us have? The horrible details, and the man...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while you attend flute practice ... • MLB: NLDS, Game 1: Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago Cubs (6:37 p.m., ET) How much mojo can one city hold? [TBS] • WNBA: Finals, Game 1: Detroit Shock at San Antonio Silver Stars. Remember when the Spurs played the Pistons in the Finals? Of course you...
Terrell Owens Loves His Quarterback, Not "Sheshawn" Johnson
T.O. would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few things. Yes, it sounded like he was complaining when he said that 18 throws and 2 running plays called in his honor was not enough involvement in the Dallas Cowboys game plan, but he seriously holds no ill will towards his coach, owner, offen...
Ex-Bronco Travis Henry's New Career Not Working Out So Well
It's safe to say that Travis Henry's last year or so has been a little rough. Signed by the Denver Broncos before the 2007 season, the former Bills and Titans running back immediately failed a drug test (which he challenged and won), then put up an mediocre 691 yards rushing in 12 games, before bein...
Ocho Cinco Knows How To Cure The Bengals: It's Time To Par-tay
The Artist Formerly Known As Chad Johnson does not want to go to that strip club. The last thing he wants is to go on a drunken tequila binge and wake up in his hotel room on Sunday draped in hookers and clutching a reefer the size of a corncob. But damn it, he will do it for the team. No sacrifice ...
Afternoon Blogdome: Did We Forget To Mention It's Almost Hockey Season?
Honest Rip: Either Richard Hamilton is running for President in the 1860s or he's gone all "Witness" on us and joined the simple Amish life. Ask him about his butter churner! [World of Isaac] All seats must go: We're not saying it's panic time for the New Jersey Nets, but they're already slashing pr...
New Yorkers Taunted By Ironical TBS Signage
Anyone notice anything wrong with this gi-normous sign promoting the MLB playoffs on TBS? The banner is hanging on 7th Avenue in downtown New York, and features Josh Beckett of the Red Sox and, hmm, who is that other player exactly? Oh TBS, why do you mock them so? From the New York Post: ...
Middle Tennessee State University Owns the Hail Mary
For about 59 minutes and 56 seconds it appeared that MTSU's blackout was going to be as successful as Georgia's. Then, in final four seconds, MTSU's Joe Craddock lifted a pass and the blackout took over. That's the only explanation for what Florida Atlantic's defensive backs were doing on the fin...
ALDS Preview: Rays Vs. White Sox
The Tampa Bay Rays are in the playoffs. Let it roll off your tongue. Toss it around. Swish it a bit. Look at the sentence closer. It might be a palindrome. The Tampa Bay Rays Are In The Playoffs. Everything's freaking NUTS, people. Series Schedule Game 1: Thursday, October 2, 2:30 p.m. Chicago (Vaz...
Gators Now Answering To A Higher Power
Florida suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday, and Christ — who apparently had a few sheckles on the outcome — is not amused. So he distpatched Eric Brown, the 31-year-old minister at Gainesville's Campus Church of Christ, to keep Tim Tebow out of trouble for the next few weeks. Brown, a...
Jose Calderon Would Like to Apologize Personally For That Whole Slant-Eyed Team Photo Thing
Remember the tempest over the Spanish basketball team photo at the Beijing Olympics; the one where the players all pulled back back the skin at the corner of their eyes to make them look slanted? Jose Calderon is overcome with remorse over that. He's apologizing in the press, but not only that; He's...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Atlanta Hawks
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we begin our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Let's begin with everyone's secret favorite: The Atlanta Hawks. When last we saw them: Finished 37-45, third in the Southeast Division and eig...
The Time Is Now
I'm bagging out early today to head down to Citizens Bank Park with my father (whom some of you in the Philly area may know as sports radio 610 WIP's senior intern "Big Al") to stand in Ashburn Alley and watch Cole Hamels face Yovani Gallardo (The Big Retardo) in the opening game of the NLDS. There'...
The Man Who Snagged Maria Sharapova
The long-legged tennis grunter is officially off the market again, and this time around she went off-court for her new boyfriend. Sharapova is reportedly dating Charlie Ebersol, 25-year-old son of NBC Sports Chairman and President Dick Ebersol. Charlie, as you may remember, was the Ebersol son who s...
When It's Preferable To Lead With Your Face
In my adult softball league, head-first slides are reserved for those goofy yahoos who take things way too seriously; the ones who wear full baseball uniforms and keep stats on a clipboard. If you're a head-first slider, you probably also drive a Prius and have a girlfriend named Bunny. But now we c...
Watch Your Balls Around This Kid
Young Zack Hample, who scrounges for major league baseballs with the determination of a bear in a restaurant dumpster, has recorded rather a noteworthy feat; having caught the final Mets home run ball at Shea Stadium. This came on Sunday (Carlos Beltran), about a week after Hample had caught home ru...
