Your Derby Morning Horsey Preview
This may come as a surprise to some, given my affinity for sports nobody else likes, but I don't know dick about horse racing. That's why I've brought in reader Randy King to provide a little bit of knowledge while we wait to lose lots of money. His words are after the jump....

Dontrelle Is Injured, Fat
Dontrelle Willis lasted all of 14 pitches before leaving with a hyper-extended knee, but he was just as shitty before the injury. The high-kicking lefty couldn''t seem to get his kick all the way up, which the Baseball Tonight crew was quick to attribute to his physique, which can only be described...
Brian Kenny's Media Approval Rating Went Up A Little Bit
"That's it," Chad said, which startled Kenny. He then attempted a follow-up question which also went nowhere. Again, Kenny tries to sign-off gracefully and, again, Chad doesn't go away....
Your Super Sweet 16
Once again the highly debated field of 64 has been whittled down to 16 and we can all throw out our Georgetown/Duke heavy brackets and get to work on that Sweet 16 pool. Most of the favorites are still standing but two 12 sees, Villanova and Western Kentucky, are still alive. However, they both face...

Felix Pie's Minor Surgery, No Big Deal, Nothing To See Here
The sad saga of Felix Pie took a new twist yesterday, and we're sorry we just used that punnish metaphor and actually have doubled over in our chair and are fighting off dry heaves....
Felix Pie Out With A YEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWW
The Cubs have suffered a spate of unfortunate and somewhat bizarre injuries already this spring. Alfonso Soriano has a fractured finger. Jose Ascanio had a bruised face after getting punched in a robbery attempt. Mark DeRosa was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat. But none has a painful tale a...
"Everything Stops When The Bobcats Play"
I've gone to four NBA games the last two seasons - courtesy of fellow Weekend Daddy Unsilent Majority's Verizon Center season tickets - and somehow three of them have involved the Bobcats. Despite that, I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand the number of Charlotte jerseys I've seen. Nevertheles...
This Ends Badly
That's just fucked up. The man you see above, Arsenal's Eduardo Da Silva, is about to have his tibia and/or fibula poking through his sock. Needless to say, it's pretty brutal and because you might not want to see it, I'll just link to it after the jump, along with the non-crippling Premier League a...
Rams' Lawyers Attempt to Do What Team Could Not
It's two weeks after Losergate (or, if you will, Super Bowl XLII) and people are still making a hue and cry over cheating charges leveled at the now-humbled Patriots. The latest comes from former Rams player Willie Gary and two Rams season ticket holders, who are suing the Pats, seeking $100 millio...

Lleyton Hewitt's Sister Probably Works Out
This is Lleyton Hewitt's sister Jaslyn. Obviously being some sort of body builder she's significantly more intimidating than any of the nancy boys on the ATP Tour, but on the women's side of things she'd just be another face. The wily Mottram brothers at Mister Irrelevant couldn't help but noticing ...

Peterson Breaks Rushing Record, Transubstantiates
Forget about rookie records, Adrian Peterson is going after bigger game. It's taken Minnesota's first-year wunderkind a mere eight attempts to break the NFL's record for rushing in a game. The 296 yard eruption led the Vikings to a 35-17 flattening of the San Diego Chargers and put Peterson over the...
