ESPN Rewards Its Employees With A Small Beverage
Monday's "Monday Night Football" game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, perhaps because of the possible midfield suicide of Terrell Owens, scored a 12.8 Neilsen rating, the highest cable television rating in history. This is a cause for celebration in Bristol, obviously, but we had...
We Say Replace Theismann With Borat Right Now
The Borat movie — Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan — is almost here, which pleases us greatly. We're kind of confounded by the release schedule, though. There was a premiere in Los Angeles on Monday (Defamer, of course, was there), and there was o...

Ugly, Cold And Wet: The Beauty Of Game 3

It was basically Chris Carpenter being completely filthy and a bunch of Tigers players being hit in the testicles and fall...

It's Nice To Have Chris Carpenter
Sometimes we forget that sometimes, all you need, is a dominant No. 1 starter — even one who claims his favorite band is the Dave Matthews Band — and an opposing pitcher with bloodshot eyes who throws 100 mile-per-hour fastballs five feet to the left of an already-running third baseman....
Time For Game 3 At Busch

He's Got Some Great Open-Field Moves
We did not see this over the weekend, but apparently, after California's win over Washington on Saturday, Golden Bears running back Marshawn Lynch got a hold of the motorized stretcher cart and went to town. This is yet another reason, as we all know, we need the bullpen car back....
The Cardinals Always Bring Much Rock
