Great Moments In Sports Poop History: Mike Florio
We all have our unfortunate poop stories. As you may or may not know, I once pooped my pants while out on the golf course. There was also the one time I woke up in my NYC apartment after a long night of drinking only to discover a Big Daddy Drew shitpattie stuck to the inside of my shorts. Surely, ...
Tom Brady Isn't Doing So Hot
If you see Tom Brady this weekend, don't ask him about the knee! After finding out that his joints aren't made out of cotton candy and lollipops, doctors are worried about an infection that arose after his ACL reconstruction. They have now performed three separate procedures to try and fight it, and...
So Rick Telander Meets Jay Mariotti Sweaty and Nude...
The long-standing feud between former Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti and current CST columnist Rick Telander has been well-publicized and generated notoriety given its potential for violence. Once Jay quit, the yelps of joy from inside the Sun-Times' newsroom could pretty much be heard (or...
Um, What The Hell, Patriots Fans?
Sorry to start your day off on the wrong foot, but several people have sent this in; a fan at the Monday Night game in Foxboro last night purportedly wearing blackface. I guess that's what this is — a closer shot is shown following the jump — although I'm no expert on such matters. Would Ted Danson ...
Jay Cutler Out to Prove his Arm is Bigger Than His Mouth
Tonight, the Denver Broncos and mouthy quarterback Jay Cutler swagger into Foxboro and will attempt to frustrate the completely neutralized New England Patriots on their home field. Even though the Pats do not remotely resemble anything close to the juggernaut they were last year, they're still favo...
Kellen Winslow: Please Stop Asking About My Junk
Good news, Browns fans. Your cantankerously talented tight end Kellen Winslow is no longer suffering from a mysterious ailment that may or may not be related to his testicular area. And...he might even suit up against the Redskins. Winslow addressed the media at practice today and let them know that...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Golden State Warriors
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that is so totally screwed: The Golden State Warriors. When last we saw them: Finished 48-38, third in the Pacific Divisi...
Michael Phelps Gill Nets Him A Keeper
We can forgive Michael Phelps for tapping a far-off state for girlfriend material, and for picking a Miss California runner up. But what's unforgivable is sporting a Tigers cap when everyone knows you were born and raised in Baltimore. Attending the University of Michigan is no excuse; you support t...
HBO's BAD Is KO Central
All three of the title contenders showcased on HBO's Boxing After Dark triple-header came through with knockout wins last night in Temecula, California. Yuriorkis Gamboa was sloppy throughout the first round of his fight with Marcos Ramirez, even suffering a flash knockdown at one point. However th...
Two Future Champions Highlight 'Boxing After Dark'
HBO's Boxing After Dark series has committed itself to highlighting the sports rising stars, and now it's time for fight fans to reap the benefits. The last time Yuriorkis Gamboa (11-0, 9 KO's) shared an HBO card with Alfredo Angulo (13-0, 10 KO's) both showed exactly why everyone is so high on the...
The Bigger The Hands, The Larger The ... Wristband
This came in a little too late to make Who's Sorry Now?, but the Boston Globe has issued an apology on its web site that can only be described as comedy gold. The paper today apologized for a photo it ran in Sunday's paper that depicted Patriots' back-up quarterback Kevin O'Connell throwing a pass i...
On The Beach With Baron Davis And Mrs. Fantastic
So, is Baron Davis' Jenny Craig diet working? You be the judge. Perhaps Jessica Alba can dispense weight-loss tips (she had a baby in June). Here they are cavorting last week in Cabo — Jessica's in the towel — as Davis prepares for the NBA preseason which begins Oct. 5 against the Hornets. This phot...
Has Success Spoiled The Patriots Fan?
Boos in Foxboro? Having grown up in California, I'm kind of used to seeing streams of disgruntled fans heading for the exits way before the game has ended (and that includes high school crowds, when I was playing). I just never thought I'd see it in Patriots Land. Has seven years of football success...
Ask Not What Tom Brady Can Do For You, Ask What You Can Do For Tom Brady
Excellent piece of satire this morning over at Blogging The Boys — and God, I hope it's satire — in which they write that the remainder of the 2008 NFL season will be officially played in honor of Tom Brady. I have to admit that I read half of it, then raced over to NFL.com to make sure it wasn't tr...
Tribune Kills Mariotti Talks As A Thankful Populace Rejoices
Attention, residents of Chicago: Jay Mariotti will not be coming to the Tribune. We repeat: Will NOT be employed there. This is official. (Wary citizens emerge from concrete bunkers, shielding eyes from the sun as "all clear" siren sounds). Although he proved as hard to kill as the evil robot in Ter...
Mariotti To Tribune Apparently Just A Matter Of When, Not If
Get ready Chicagoland, your Jay is back. Jay Mariotti to the Chicago Tribune! Let those words luxuriate on your tongue for a moment. At least that's the word according to two of our sources, one of whom is quite close to the situation. Tribune higher-ups — and by that I mean higher than the editoria...
Randy Moss Tells Jets That Patriots Are 'Still The Team To Beat.' That Seems Wise
If there's one thing that Matt Cassel wishes for his starting debut with the Patriots on Sunday, it's that a prominent teammate talk some smack to the opposing team, which already has a contract out on him to begin with. Oh, and a very painful cold sore; that would be good. Randy Moss just couldn't ...
Jason Whitlock Continues To Be Part-Time Publicist For Jeff George's Lonely Right Arm
Love him or loathe him, Jason Whitlock is one of the most fascinating sports writers working today. His columns are always infused with a stridency and subversion that make his words compelling, regardless of how batshitty the context or opinion. Like Jason Whitlock. Like him a lot. And today's colu...
Those Pesky Mariotti-To-Tribune Rumors Will Not Dissipate
Rumors continue to flutter over Chicago this afternoon concerning sensitive Around the Horn talking head Jay Mariotti and his possible move to the Chicago Tribune. A couple of sources close to the situation have emailed me and said that the Trib's editorial staff are taking the rumors seriously, and...
The Casselification Of America Has Begun
So you thought you were suffering from Tom Brady overload? At least there's only one of him. Meet the Cassels! Matt, of course, you know; he filled in for the mangled Brady on Sunday and led the Patriots to a 17-10 win over the Chiefs. He is set to assault every one of our six senses — especially he...
