What, No Facepaint?
For a franchise with such a short and unremarkable history the Carolina Panthers sure seem to attract an odd level of devotion. Most recently a curious young couple thought fit to devote their entire wedding ceremony to the team they love so much....

David Boston Will Attack You With Comfortable Pillows
Poor David Boston. A Pro Bowl receiver with the Cardinals in 2001, he's dogged by injuries and bounces around to three other teams, tests positive for steroids, then is nabbed for DUI. And now the worst of all misdeeds: Domestic cushion assault....
Meet Eric "Whizzer" Schnupp
The man you see here is Eric Schnupp, the offensive line coach for the Baylor Bears. Saturday afternoon was a rough one for Schnupp and his team; they lost 58-10 to undefeated Kansas. Fortunately, Schnupp was unfazed by the shellacking and found a way to inspire his troops....
Why Aren't Baseball Video Games Any Good?
We like to play the occasional video game, but we don't obsess over them, mostly because we're not very good at them. We have, however, obsessed over Strat-o-Matic before, because we're a nerd for baseball simulation. (A bit redundant phrasing, we agree.)...
Kirby Puckett, Off-Off-Broadway
When Kirby Puckett died last year, he left behind a most complicated legacy....
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
The early games are beginning to wrap up and to everyone's surprise things have gotten quite a bit more interesting out there. Miami has launched an admirable comeback on their former coach and fierce rivals from Chapel Hill and Michigan State is in a shootout with Northwestern, the baddest motherfu...
LeBron James Has Cursed the Yankees
Last night the Indians drove a nail into the coffin that has become the Yankees season. It took Cleveland every bit of 11 innings to take a 2-0 series lead, but Travis Hafner's bases-loadedtwo-out walk-off single finally put them on top 2-1. Fausto Carmona was the real hero for the Tribe. He pitched...
Travis Henry Is One Stoned Strategist
Travis Henry has long since shown his particular skill at innovation, siring seven children with seven women, which is not easy to do even if you are trying. And now he's dealing with the positive drug test the NFL made him take by suing the NFL....

Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
Vote Boulware! (Or Something)
When we think about NFL players of the last 10 years or so we'd imagine running for office someday, we can't say that former Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware was the first guy to come to mind. He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...

Stefan Fatsis, the author of Word Freak, sportswriter (on leave) from the Wall Street Journal and sports commentator on NPR's "All Things Considered," knows kickers.

It's The AFC West Pants Party
