Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...

From Upstate Underdog at Walk Off Walk comes this video of Philly fans joyfully destroying an automobile in the wake of last night's victory.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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...
