Which Sports-Related Person Would Engage In A 2Girls1Cup-Type Video?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday ... well, that next five Fridays, anyway. Yes, after more than a year of goodness, Mr. Daulerio is retiring the Cultural Oddsmaker column at the beginning of 2008. There are now FIVE left. Email him to let him know how much you'll miss him....
He Seems To Have Thought Of Everything: How In The World Did This Not Work?
So this guy robs a bank, and during his getaway he stops at a salon about a block away for hair extensions and a manicure (by now you've guessed that this occurred in Florida). But that's not the best part. The loot he stole was booby trapped, and during his escape it exploded, covering him in red d...
The Barry Bonds CourtTV Business Begins
Barry Bonds is going to be arraigned in San Francisco in about 20 minutes or so. We have a hard time firing ourselves up about arraignments; it's pretty much just a bunch of guys in ties saying about 10 words so low that we can't hear them....

Curt Schilling On His Bonus Clause, And Others'
Curt Schilling, on his immaculately typed blog this week, blasted the new Baseball Writers Association rule that says anyone who has an incentive in their contract to win an MVP or Cy Young award will be ineligible. There's money to be lost, but that doesn't seem to be his issue; actually, we're not...
Fun With Bermanisms
What is the worst Bermanism of all time? Sure, they're all cringe-inducing; especially if you imagine him blurting them out during pickup sex. Plus, they seem to multiply like fleas; there must be about a hundred of them. Well, actually, 528 to be exact. Yep, some poor sap compiled a list of every b...
Barry Bonds Could Really Use Johnnie Cochran Right About Now
Considering the charges against him — and the public opinion forces, going all the way up to President bush — one would think Barry Bonds' legal team would be coming together and preparing a fierce, scorched earth strategy to take down what are arguably pumped-up charges. One would be wrong....

What you missed while playing Zap-A-Bug ... • NHL: In a game narrated by Morgan Freeman, Crosby's first trip to Edmonton results in 4-2 win by Pittsburgh. • NBA: Always Be Closing!

Robert Wuhl Is Still Getting Work, Kind Of
Sometimes we feel bad for Robert Wuhl. Sure, "Arliss" was pretty horrible, but the guy was in Batman and Bull Durham, and all he has to show for it are some lingering hangers-on friendships with past-their-prime former athletes. (We doubt LeBron ever knew his show existed.) But hey: At least he gets...
The Upcoming Vivisection Of Mike And Mike, Truly
On January 11, 2008, you're likely to still be recovering from Dennis Kucinich's stunning wins in Iowa and New Hampshire on his way to become the 44th President of the United States. So there's not much better way to clear your cluttered mind than to attend the Mike and Mike Celebrity Roast....

Stephen A. Smith Imagines A Utopian Society Without Bloggers
It's the question that has plagued scientists for the better part of a decade: Is there life inside of Stephen A. Smith's head? It would be foolish to rule it out ... after all, life can take many forms, including the smallest of single-cell organisms. But as of now, NASA has no plans beyond sendi...

About Last Night
Sure you love that bottle of Captain Morgan, but did it love you back? • NFL: Some sort of dramatic finish involving the Patriots and Ravens, with a game-ending melee near the goal line.

Bob Knight, Remaining Mellow
