Here's Jim Ross Calling LeBron James's Monster Dunk On Jason Terry
We all knew this was coming....
Terry Francona Calls Jason Giambi His "Manager-In-Waiting"
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: The Indians manager sounds thrilled to get back on the job....
Terry Francona Says Red Sox Owners Don't Really Care About Baseball
Terry Francona has a book coming out about his time in Boston. Written with (ugh) Dan Shaughnessy, it probably won't satisfy readers expecting a bridge-burning tell-all, since he's back in baseball managing the Indians and has to work alongside the players he'd probably love to blast. But there are ...
Nick Saban Reportedly Took The Dolphins Job In 2004 Because Wayne Huizenga Bought Off His Wife
Tonight, Nick Saban makes his triumphant return to Miami, where he coached the Dolphins for two largely unpleasant and unmemorable years in 2005 and 2006. Saban's clearly a good coach—he bookended his 15-17 Dolphins stint with a 48-16 record at LSU and a 62-13 record at Alabama—but he never seemed c...
Back In 1995, <em>The Simpsons</em> Visited <em>The NFL On Fox</em>, And Homer Took A Shot At Jerry Jones
This only came to my attention yesterday, and—as I'm a Simpsons fan and something of a sports enthusiast—I figured that if I hadn't seen it, most people likely hadn't. In 1995, the Simpsons did what has to be the best promo for the NFL on Fox—for any pre-game show—ever. It's not quite vintage, unt...
Terry Bradshaw's "Bucket Of Chicken" Comment Was About Jimmy Johnson, Who Apparently Loves Chicken
On Sunday, Terry Bradshaw made a comment about Reggie Bush "chasing a bucket of chicken" while doing the highlights on Fox's NFL halftime show. Today, he went on WFAN to explain that his comment wasn't racially motivated, but rather a reference to an inside joke about fellow analyst Jimmy Johnson's...
Terry Bradshaw Says Reggie Bush Was Chasing A Bucket Of Chicken
It goes without saying that Terry Bradshaw is not very bright. So it is much more plausible that this is a case of an idiot doofus that FOX allows to speak unscripted on live television in a vomit of words unwittingly comparing Reggie Bush running with some strange chasing-after-a-bucket-of-chicke...
Chris Stone Wins The <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Bake-Off, Takes Over The Weekly Magazine
Last month we told you there was a bake-off at Sports Illustrated to determine the magazine's next managing editor. Now we have a winner: assistant managing editor Chris Stone....
Report: Terry Francona Will Manage The Cleveland Indians Next Season
Ken Rosenthal might just be throwing some shit against the wall, but it looks like Terry Francona is headed back to the dugout....
Albert Belle Wants To Be The Indians' Next Manager
The Indians have two pretty good candidates to helm the team next year, after firing Manny Acta with six games remaining. First, Sandy Alomar Jr., the bench coach who is acting as interim manager these last couple days—a beloved former Indian who was something of a field general dating back to his b...
Bake-Off At <em>Sports Illustrated</em>! Jon Wertheim, Chris Stone Battle To Take Over Weekly Magazine
Who's in charge at Sports Illustrated? Earlier this summer, longtime editor Terry McDonell told his staff that he was dialing back on some of his responsibilities. Last month, he got a new office on (SI's parent company) Time Inc.'s corporate floor, fueling even more talk that he was on his way out....
Joe Buck Is Attempting To Grow A Beard
Joe Buck is an old pal of ours, so I must express some alarm at his current approach to facial grooming. It appears to be having a significant and negative effect on his colleagues, as seen before yesterday's Broncos-49ers game in Denver. The power of Joe Buck's protobeard has put Terry Bradshaw to...
Your <em>Expendables 2</em> Power Rankings
The Expendables 2 has 11 names on its poster only because there is not room, either in poster space or running time, for 47. It is New Years Eve with testicles. It is the turducken of action movies. Rather than review the film, I thought I'd just rank those 11 names, in ascending order of Expendable...
Who Exactly Is Running <em>Sports Illustrated</em>? <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Staffers Want To Know.
At Sports Illustrated's weekly editorial meeting on Thursday, top editor Terry McDonell had some news for the 30 or so staffers assembled. Job cuts were over, he said. (There were 16 departures and three layoffs in all.) And then he said something outwardly innocuous that people at the magazine have...
In Desperate Bid To Be Down With The Youngs, <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Uses Instagram Photos In This Week's Issue
Oh boy. We've seen this before. Magazines are a bit of a crossroads, so in order to either (a) appeal to a younger audience or (b) to try to "engage social media," or whatever jargon-laden or ham-fisted way they want to describe it, they do little experiments....
English Soccer Having Another Dumb Racist Twitter Thing
When a student was jailed for racist tweets directed at Fabrice Muamba, it was an opportunity to discuss the British justice system and the perils of online anonymity. When John Terry was cleared of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, it was an opportunity to quote a judge saying "cunt" about 72 times...
FOX, Umpires Conspire To Confuse The Shit Out Of Everyone Watching The Mets And Braves
Here is an almost three minute long clip from this afternoon's Mets-Braves game. The scene: bottom of the fifth, one out, one on (Martin Prado on first), Jason Heyward at the plate. Heyward lines a 1-0 pitch to left and then, well, who the hell knows what happened....
John Terry Found Not Guilty Of Using "Fucking Black Cunt" In A Racial Sense
Go ahead, try out your lipreading: What does Chelsea's John Terry say to QPR's Anton Ferdinand in this video from back in October? If you see anything but "fucking black cunt," you're wrong, because that's totally what he said. He even cops to it....
Memo: Layoffs Coming To <em>Sports Illustrated</em>
Job cuts are coming to Sports Illustrated and now we have a rougher idea of how many people are getting cut....
Terry Francona Apologizes For Some Reason, Says That Towel Photo Was "Pretty In Jest"
Terry Francona is a frequent guest on Michael Kay's radio show in New York, and when he went on the program a few minutes ago, Kay came right out and asked Francona about this, albeit in a way that didn't mention what this was all about....
