Dan Dickau Loses A Potential Best Pal
The kids over at Yay!Sports have this fun game they've decided to play with chats with NBA players on NBA.com: They ask them : "Freestyle a bit for us and I'll be your best friend." (The bit is derived from an actual question to LeBron James in an AOL chat; apparently the joke made him "LOL" so ha...

Blogdom's Best: Boston Red Sox
More than any other sport, baseball lends itself to individual blog obsession. Every Major League Baseball team has several blogs obsessed with chronicling the ins-and-outs of everything.

Does Joe Pa Hate Lesbians Too?
Yesterday, we made a glib remark about Joe Paterno and Penn State's homophobic coach, because hey, we're a blog, we're glib, it's what we do. We joked that you could say what you want about Joe Paterno, but at least unlike his women's basketball coach, he didn't hate lesbians....
Will The Boss Rock Touchdown Jesus?
We keep hearing about all these rumors, so since we are who we are, we might as well publish them.

Playoffs Pants Party: Cardinals vs. Astros
Well, fortunately, we have F/X. Like last year, the Cardinals and Astros are playing a game of their NLCS on an obscure cable network that's up there near the Outdoor Life Network. But that's fine: It's only the playoffs. Anyway, this is a rematch of a series last year that, since apparently nobod...
Checking In With The On The DL Girls
It has been a while since we checked in with the lovely ladies of On The DL, the site full of blind items about Major League Baseball players. So, how's it going over there? Well, it appears that already very busy Boston "closer" Keith Foulke has been even more busy, flashing the World Series ring...

Welcome Back, Artest! Glad To Have Ya!
That Ron Artest is back for a whole season is destined to be one of the sublime joys of the upcoming NBA season; that he vows to be as crazy as ever makes us want to get an NBA League Pass, stat. From an interview with Dave D'Alessandro in today's Newark Star-Ledger:...

Damon Stoudamire: Block Sender
We were at a bar a couple of weeks ago with some female friends of ours when, out of nowhere, some lady came up to us and asked us what we thought of a particularly brand of vodka. We told her we had no real opinions about it, but she continued, saying it mixed well with "tonic and other carbonate...
Lance Armstrong Puppy Updates!
Remember back when ESPN was actually providing updates on the health of Lance Armstrong's dog? Well, we can't just blame them anymore; the Associated Press has take up the cause of Lance's puppy, which was apparently born with a defective valve in its heart, as if any of you could possibly care....
Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks: Bill Conlin
It's not so much that American newspaper editors want to employ mean-spirited sports columnists such as Bill Conlin; we're pretty sure it's the law. How else would one explain it? Every large paper seems to have its resident sports bastard, and Conlin fills that role at the Philadelphia Daily News...

It's Christmas In October
It's one of the happiest days in the blog world: It's the day after the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs.

You Won't Have Martz To Kick Around Anymore
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz — who once almost quit his job to follow Bruce Springsteen around on tour, which we think is awesome — is reporting that everybody's favorite bad coach whipping boy Mike Martz is stepping down as coach of the St. Louis Rams. Martz has suffered heart tro...
