About Last Night...
MLB: Marlins 4, Phillies 1. The Marlins only gave up 3 hits, but fear not, Chase Utley has one of them. His streak is at 28 now. WNBA: Shock 77, Storm 67. I wonder if Bill Laimbeer has ever tried to sneak himself into a game. MLB: Diamondbacks 8, Astros 7. It's a cycle, and it has nothing to do with...

The Peter King-KSK Standoff
The rockers over at Kissing Suzy Kobler would like to let you know that they are reasonable people. All they want out of life is to make a few humorous comments about sports, go home to their families and perhaps enjoy a Krispy Kreme. Or three. But even reasonable people can be pushed to the edge, a...
Maurice Clarett, Handling Himself Just Fine, Yep

It's Not Easy For Canadians To Win Golf Clubs
So here's something funny and obscure that a reader just pointed out to us. This week, Sports Illustrated subscribers — like ourselves — were treated to a special promotion with Callaway Golf.

OK, we understand that he had thrown a lot of pitches, and that he had walked five guys, and that the score was 0-0 and that he has been injured enough to need to be coddled a bit....

Earlier today, new NBC broadcaster — it feels weird to type that; we haven't quite adjusted to the NFL being back on NBC — John Madden went to visit Oakland Raiders camp and hang out with his former player Art Shell, the new coach (again) of the Raiders. Since it's a slow, non-sexual-harassing day...
