Why Didn't Anyone Try This On Donaghy?
The New Castle County soccer league of Delaware might not be home to the kind of grace and skill we've seen from Euro 2008, but their games sure as hell sound entertaining. Ranord A. "Not Pacman" Jones disagreed with a referee's call, so the player reacted as any of us would, by taking a chunk out ...

The Rangers (née Senators) and the Nationals (like the Senators minus Frank Howard) took 14 innings to decide things before Elijah Dukes delivered with his second walk-off hit of the month.

A Thoughtful, Critical Analysis On Jiggling Breasts And Overeating
Excuse the blatant self-promotion for a minute, but it's Friday, and it's always important to celebrate high points in one's career. That is why I am posting an article I wrote for this month's Penthouse magazine about last year's venerable Philadelphia gorge-puke-and-boobfest, "Wing Bowl."...
Jay Mariotti: Still In Dire Need Of A Serious Pounding
Chicago Sun-Times columnist, hockey-haired yakkity-yak, and out-and-out dickface, Jay Mariotti, recently signed a three-year extension at his paper, but it seems like at the end of that contract, he may very well be the only one left writing for the sports section....

Charles Barkley Doing His Best To Ignore His Gambling Problem
