Remembering what Jackie Robinson meant, and who he was
As we prepare for Jackie Robinson Day in baseball on Sunday — the Cardinals, among other teams, are considering having every player wear No. 42, which gives us the unique opportunity of seeing David Eckstein and Brad Thompson pay tribute to Jackie — we thought we would provide our own tribute to a g...

WHIP Out Some Bling
We play in far too many fantasy sports leagues — we're a little frustrated that Yahoo hasn't counted last night's game in the Stattracker yet; Paul LoDuca had two painful RBIs for me us — but we've never been in one so dorky that it gives out a championship trophy....

Nothing Better Than A Sports Dad
Sports dads creep us out, generally speaking, and yeah: Dads of world-class female athletes actually do creep us out more, whether that's fair or not. We have no children, but if we did, we think we would discourage them to play sports, or at least discouraging them to do so around us. We think, lik...

No Room At The Inn For "SportsCenter"
So here's something strange: For the first time since 2001, "SportsCenter" was was not nominated for a Sports Emmy for "Outstanding Daily Studio Show." This seems odd, because we don't really know of that many other daily sports shows; the other nominees are "Baseball Tonight," "Outside The Lines," ...

Land Of The Giants
One would think that a team with four seven-footers in the starting lineup wouldn't need a last-second shot to win. But this is the American Basketball Association, where the official rules more resemble Calvinball than anything. Why didn't someone inform us earlier that, in their finale against the...

Your Booing Is Crushing The Souls Of America's Youth
I've never really thought of booing as something that could do much psychological damage... you play on the road, you hear it, and that's how it goes. The booers, in most cases, aren't making any sort of judgment on you or the choices you made in your life, they're booing because you're wearing colo...
