Rick Reilly's Wide-Eyed Reaction Shots
Back in April, we told you about "The Beer Belly," a contraption that allowed you to sneak beer into stadiums through a fake beer gut. You would then drink there beer through a tube, or something like that....
Rick Reilly And His Rimshot
Honestly, we have nothing against Sports Illustrated superstar Rick Reilly. Sure, he mails it in seemingly twice a month, his sudden conversation to an anti-steroid advocate seems to only go for people not named Bill Romanowski and we have no idea what that "Riffs Of Reilly" thing is supposed to b...
Creighton Bluejays
1. Trust The Frosh With The Rock. Creighton was 17-5 for the season before losing true freshman point guard Josh Dotzler to a knee injury, and went 2-4 without Dotzler, who will be back for the NCAA tournament. Dotzler isn't the first true freshman to start at the point for Creighton: Dotzler succee...
Kirilenko's Wife Lets Him Sleep With Other Women; Other Women Say, "Uh, Thanks, But No Thanks"
Meet the anti-Mrs. Doug Christie, ladies and gentlemen....
What's Going On With Zack Greinke?
For those of you who don't have your Google News Alerts set to "Kansas City Royals," you might not being paying close attention to a truly bizarre story involving Zack Greinke. The one-time Royals phenom, once called "the future of pitching" by Baseball Prospectus, has left the team for an unspeci...
Nate Robinson, Controversy, Abound
We can't even have an All-Star Saturday Night without officiating controversy anymore. Last night in the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Contest, 5'9" Nate Robinson took down Andre Iguodala, but not without one of the biggest and most important officiating controversies of our time. Or, maybe not....
Authors With Pure Hearts: Jere Longman
It has been brought to our attention that, as much as people might like our Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks feature, sometimes it's nice to point out good sportswriting. We agree; we're very friendly people and love great sportswriting as much, if not more, than anyone. Henceforth, we introduce ou...
The Woe Of The Eagles Fan
There was a moment last night, during the Eagles' season-crushing 21-20 loss to the Cowboys, when you really grasped just how difficult it must be to be an Eagles fan. Ordinarily, we scoff when fans of successful teams complain about their suffering; we root for the Arizona freaking Cardinals, so ...
Rosenhaus Sets T.O.'s Career Ablaze
One pretty amazing press conference involving Terrell Owens this afternoon. Owens came out and made a seemingly sincere statement, apologizing to his fans, the Eagles, Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, the owners, pretty much everybody but Jeff Garcia. We were watching it thinking, "Man, he actually see...
That's All For T.O.
Making the unofficial officially official, Eagles coach Andy Reid announced a few minutes ago that Terrell Owens will not play for the Eagles again this season....
This Week In Foreign Sports
Their terminology is confusing, they're often not allowed to touch the ball with their hands and occasionally royalty shows up to watch for a few minutes before heading back to the castle. It's weird sports from other lands, which when you get down to it, are no more ridiculous than ours. News it...
The REAL Reason The White Sox Have Suffered
Everyone's talking about curses of the Black Sox and how much White Sox fans have suffered, but MSNBC's Bob Cook points out that the true source of the team's problems is not the past, but the owner Jerry Reinsdorf:...
Bill Romanowski, Workout FREAK
After uncovering the groundbreaking scoop that Ricky Williams likes to smoke pot, "60 Minutes" this weekend talks to former Bronco Bill Romanowski about his steroid abuse. Yep: Romanowski used to take steroids. This, by our count, is about the fourth time Romanowski has "confessed" to steroid use;...
This Week In Foreign Sports: Take Off, Scouser
We tend to find European sports terminology hilarious, mainly because it points to how equally absurd American sports terminology is. To someone not familiar with the lexicon, "a blooper to left" is nonsensical babbling. So here's a look at the big news of the week in odd, confusing sports in othe...
How Much For That Bayless Column In The Window?
So we hadn't visited our old friends at The New York Times on the Web in a while, so we thought we'd log in. We're kind fond of George Vecsey, and we find Selena Roberts quite hot. But on our way inside, we were stopped at the door by a large, sweaty, metaphorical security guard. "May I see your ...
Kiper Currently Ranking Him No. 8 Halfback In His Class
That's Bobby Martin, a special teams player for a Toledo high school and focus of a column by SI's Rick Reilly this week. We haven't seen the story yet, but we really hope it's not another of Rick's "participatory journalism" pieces. Just saying....
This Week In Foreign Sports: Korfball Rules!
We tend to find European sports terminology hilarious, mainly because it points to how equally absurd American sports terminology is. So here's a look at the big news of the week in odd, confusing sports in other lands, with our translation: • "We'll start with the News of the World's interview w...
This Week In Foreign Sports
We tend to find European sports terminology hilarious, mainly because it points to how equally absurd American sports terminology is. We all might know what "a blooper to shallow left" means, but to anyone not intimately familiar with baseball terminology, that s just nonsensical babbling. So here...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 1 p.m. College Football with Todd McShay: Dude, if that's you on the far right of this picture — and we're pretty sure it is — we're gonna have to throw the flag for illegal contact beyond five yards. • 3 p.m. College Football with Kir...
