To Watch Tonight
What to watch as the cat finishes your homework ... • MLB: Atlanta at San Francisco. Eric Byrnes, leave your dog at home! [TBS] • WNBA: Detroit at Connecticut; Los Angeles at Sacramento. So many pro sporting events in Connecticut, so little time. [ESPN2] • MLB: Red Sox at Indians. Muggle-Repelling a...
The End Of July Ain't What It Used To Be
As much as we might try, we can't muster up much enthusiasm for the trading deadline this year, which is in week. No matter scenarios they give us, we just don't believe anyone too huge will end up switching teams. The days of the Mark McGwire, Mike Piazza trades seem over. (Not that we ever conside...
Burn, Vick Jersey, BURN
We know this is usually on Chandler's Minor Enterprise beat, but it's Tuesday, and that doesn't run until Friday. So we're grabbing it: The minor league baseball world is capitalizing on Mr. Mexico's troubles....
Jeff Pearlman, On His Subject Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds remains just two homers away from Hank Aaron's record, and in the wake of this historic and confounding achievement, we felt we should talk to a guy who knows the life of Bonds better than anyone else in the media: Jeff Pearlman, Bonds' biographer in Love Me, Hate Me. We've interviewed...
Some Dark Audio
• The original radio call of the line drive that killed Mike Coolbaugh. Warning: Extremely disturbing in retrospect. [Deuce Of Davenport] • Not many original Tecmo Bowlers still around. [100 Percent Injury Rate] • Yeah, pretty nice to have Jon Lester back. [And Here Come The Pretzels] • Could A-Rod ...
NFL Season Preview: Cincinnati Bengals
Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, running one every weekday, we have to start this week. So there you have it....
How To Get The Awful Talking People Off ESPN.com
Like the rest of you, we find it endlessly infuriating that, when we head to ESPN.com, someone starts talking to us. It's loud, it's obnoxious, it's intrusive and it makes us want to keep our distance from their site. Until now, we didn't know you could do anything about it. But you can....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. Author Jonathan Mahler: Bo-ok? How ... how do you turn it on? • 2 p.m.. ESPN Special with Tom Brokaw: What did he say? It sounds like he has pebbles in his mouth. Hank Owen did what? • 3 p.m. Fantasy sports with Matthew Berry: De...
You Had A Bucket? Luxury!
Who among us hasn't locked their young child in his room with a loaf of bread and a bucket and then gone off to watch the Packers at an Indian casino? (Long pause). Um, anyone? Cripes, this is embarrassing....
David Stern Press Conference, Going On Now
Right now, NBA commissioner David Stern is addressing, for the first time, the whole Tim Donaghy situation. We are curious to see if he can avoid picking up the lectern and throwing it across the room....
The NBA, Point Fixing, And You
In lieu of David Stern's big live press conference in about 20 minutes, bloggers weigh in on the Tim Donaghy officiating investigation ... including Mark Cuban!:...
Will We Ever See Vick Play Again?
Allow us to make a small prediction: After NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to ban Michael Vick from training camp yesterday, effectively putting him in an odd purgatory of not being suspended but not being allowed to play either, we will never see Michael Vick play a game for the Atlanta F...
Some Inspiring News For A Change, OK?
Forgive me for skipping the lovefest that is Bonds vs. Aaron today (no homers, Giants lose to Braves if you must know). All things being equal, I would have much rather attended Boston's 6-2 win over the Indians at Jacobs Field, because Jon Lester started for the Sox, went six innings and earned the...
