Happy Holidays From The Princes
The above holiday card was waiting in our mailbox when we returned to New York from a week back home in Mattoon. A nice gesture, Mr. Prince, and a happy holidays to you as well. We are pleasantly surprised the card was not covered in poo....

A-Rod, The World's Free Agent
Much talk this morning about Yankees hero of the working man Alex Rodriguez telling a radio station that he is leaning toward playing for the Dominican Republic in the upcoming World Baseball Classic rather than the United States. A-Rod has never, in fact, lived in the Dominican; he was born in Ne...
Rodman Keeps His Low Profile
Hey, Dennis Rodman made some "news" over the weekend. After showing up at a book signing scandalously dressed in revolutionary drag, Rodman apparently showed up at a DJ Tiesto show at Crobar and got himself in a wee bit of trouble....
Waiting For Rodman ...
Let's hear it for the people who waited for three hours outside of Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco on Tuesday for Dennis Rodman to show up for a book signing. (Who gives you coast-to-coast Rodman coverage? Deadspin, that's who). And what an occasion it was. The weather was cool and crisp, the mill...
Athlete Run-Ins: Roddick's Rabbit Phobia
After a pretty darned controversial and debated story about Tim Duncan yesterday, we've got a nice amusing, safe one today, about tennis star Andy Roddick and his unusual, somewhat inexplicable fear. This one comes from Steve in Houston:...
Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
Yep, that's right: Dennis Rodman was on "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" last night. This is like seeing L. Ron Hubbard and Tony Robbins in the same room together. Our mind is officially blown....

Deadspin Field Trip: Rodman's Book Signing
A media friend of ours emailed us yesterday and said, "Dennis Rodman's publicist just called me and promised he's going to pull a 'major' stunt at his book signing tomorrow." We couldn't imagine what Rodman could possibly do that could be classified as "major," save for, you know, sitting down and...
A-Rod ... After Dark!
Oddjack is all over the big story this morning: Yankees lipstick model Alex Rodriguez has been chided by Yankees officials for playing cards in those infamous New York City underground poker rooms everyone's always talking about. Supposedly A-Rod has been playing poker under the cover of darkness ...
A-Rod Battles Brutal "Asshole" Allegations
OK, everyone and their mother has been sending this to us this morning, so we might as well do something on it. Apparently, Yankees third baseman/lipstick model Alex Rodriguez made the mistake last week of dining at the same restaurant as a blogger (or a friend of a blogger, anyway)....
Viva Los Rodmanos!
From the What Could Possibly Go Wrong? file comes today's fun bit from the world of semi-professional basketball: Dennis Rodman is close to signing a contract with the ABA's Tijuana Dragons. Rodman is 44 years old but doesn't look a day over 13. Our love for the ABA is well-documented, and even thou...
Joe Torre, Masochist
One of our favorite games as a kid — and still, actually — was "Rock And A Hard Place." You remember the game: It involved making someone choose between two equally undesirable options. Would you rather kiss a donkey on the butt or look at a naked picture of your mom? You know, that sort of thing....
Wait, Aren't The YANKEES The Sign Of The Beast?
Excellent find from David Pinto at Baseball Musings (which we wholeheartedly endorse as THE site to read for great live updates and commentary during night playoff games; his post today comparing the Doug Eddings incident and computer pattern recognition is fantastic): Apparently an employee of To...
