We Hope You Nailed The Exacta
At the Hollywood Park horse racing track over the weekend, they tried the above gimmick. Ignoring the rather disturbing "bikini women as racing animals" undertone — the runners don't even seem to have names, including "Blazin' Blondie" and "Kieska" — we can't quite get past the announcer's "most of ...
Reintroducing Jack Cust
Anyone who has paid attention the world of sabermetrics and Baseball Prospectus over the last few years is probably familiar with Jack Cust. For years, he was that supposed slugging Colorado catcher we were all waiting to take over the National League, the guy we hoped no one else in our fantasy lea...
J.D. Durbin Is Quite Clear About What He Likes
Yesterday, in one of those small roster moves that no one every pays any attention to, the Red Sox signed reliever J.D. Durbin to help out with a somewhat banged-up bullpen. We won't say it's a desperation move, but in his last appearance, Durbin "pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up seven ear...
Venezuela Not Big On Cutting Athletes Breaks
If you were thinking former big league reliever Ugueth Urbina was going to get off easy during his trial for attacking a guy with a machete, worry not: Urbina has been sentenced to 14 years in prison....

Finally, A Use For A Vanderbilt Center
We're gonna end this lull day with an easy, not-all-that funny video involving Vanderbilt center Ted Skuchas in some mock instructional video they shot on campus or something. (We're gonna keep this page easy to load, because we hear there's a Up All Night! fantasy draft going on tonight.) We would ...

Vanderbilt Commodores
1.How It Got Here. Founded in 1873, Vanderbilt University was originally to be known as Central University in Nashville, on the hope that founding a university in Graceland could heal the sectional wounds inflicted by the Civil War. It was renamed Vanderbilt, however, after Cornelius Vanderbilt aban...
The Stoner Hoops Highlight Reel
Ah, the halcyon days of yesteryear, when life consisted mostly of lying around in your pajamas all day, playing Sega, pretending to study and mostly mastering the art of Nerf basketball. These dorm room kids from Vanderbilt have mastered this art, and the whole enterprise is making us feel extremely...
Go Vandy ... And Duck!
Even though it's Vanderbilt that's being fined for their fans running on the court, this video shows that the real bad guy might have been the Florida player who punch a fan in the face....
Vanderbilt Was Determined To Deny Joakim Noah The Ball
Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings isn't like most coaches. A lot of guys will tell their team to protect the ball, but won't practice what they preach. Kevin Stallings not only will protect the ball, but he'll put a body on Joakim Noah, too....
The Eye Of The Tiger Will Save A Serbian Village
Zitiste is a small Serbian town with a population just over 3,000. I guess the village is only mentioned in the news when they're hit with floods, and they're getting tired of it. To counteract this, they're spending money on not some sort of drainage or irrigation system, but... a big Rocky statue....
Careful: That Punter Will Go For The Nuts
It has been a felonious year for backup punters. There was, of course, the famous leg-stabbing punter of Northern Colorado, and now we have Kyle Keown, punter for Vanderbilt who got himself in all kinds of trouble last week....
Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Fitted National League Cap
This story isn't totally new, but it's the first we've seen of it. And we have to warn you in advance that all sides here are quite possibly insane. Charles Littleton, 22, was tackled, tasered and hauled off to the hoosegow last week for refusing to remove his Los Angeles Dodgers cap during a Sagina...
Find Strength Through "Pre-Milk!"
Because we feel like part of our job is to inform you, the blog reader, about all the different ways to artificially maximize your body's potential, we introduce you to the newest big thing in performance enhancement: cow afterbirth!...
Hugh Johnson Project - Update 2
Lee Corso's grandson appears to hate him. He had his grandson with him at the end when he did his picks. And he was trying to get him to say "hi" and wave (the kid is probably 6). And the kid looked miserable. Corso had to grab his arm and make it wave. - Josh...
Hugh Johnson Project - Update 1
• You know what I hate? "Oooo-EEE! Spendin' limit? Who cares? Not us, cuz them ain't our currrr-edit cards." That's what I hate....
The Real Story Of The World Cup
After all the talk of diving in soccer yesterday, we couldn't possibly have been happier to receive this comprehensive study from "Information Builders." The point of the study is to look at the World Cup so far — up to but not including this morning's Germany-Argentina game — and tally which teams ...
Live Blog: Serbia & Montenegro Vs. Cote d'Ivoire
OK, so fine: This is another one of those games that doesn't mean anything. The Poland-Costa Rica game yesterday was supposedly "meaningless" too, and that didn't stop it from being perhaps the most entertaining game of the day....
Live Blog: Argentina Vs. Serbia & Montenegro
You know, we're pretty proud of ourselves for not once — not once — making a single "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" comment. Maybe it's because they haven't lost yet. We're gonna see if we can keep that going. Except for now, that is....
