We'll Believe It When We See It ... And Even If We Don't
Matthew Berry, whatever you do in this world, you've made a Midwestern boy happy this Tuesday morning. We don't believe it, at all, but you know, no matter what, it's quite the fun next chapter....
Oh, You Are So Totally Grounded
In case you haven't seen this yet, the young Oregon fan giving the double-bird salute from the stands here toward UCLA's Kevin Love got into big trouble when he returned home. It seems that Sports Illustrated ran the photo with its story about rabid college sports fans a couple of weeks ago, and th...
In The Future, All Kickers Will Have JETPACKS!
Pure blogging brilliance from 100 Percent Injury Rate over at FanIQ: While digging through the suddenly free Sports Illustrated archives, they've discovered a 1979 Frank Deford article about what the NFL will look like in the year 2000. It's as hilarious as you think it is....
It's Still Not As Dangerous As A Typical Eagles Game
Please bear with me if you've seen this before; any time I see something this large and angry go into the stands that isn't Ron Artest, I must post it. Three things of note here: 1. Love the three guys sitting under the little overhang in the middle there, safe from harm in the stadium's finest lux...
McDonald's Bag 1, Denver Broncos 0
You've scored some well-earned vacation time, and you're booked for a week or two at the finest resort you can find. Time to check in, unpack, and ... order room service? A larger TV? Five-diamond hookers? Well, no; if you're Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, it's time for a McDonald's ...

Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer... Then Shred It
Be it in practice, on film, inside another man's house, or at an NIT basketball game, Bill Belichick can't help but take notice of some untapped potential. TMZ brings us this transcendent image from Florida's victory in the NIT last night. Clearly Nick Calathes' triple double wasn't the only to imp...
Things That Draw In Denver When Attendance Is Dead
As you may or may not know (probably the latter) the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche aren't doing so well from a financial standpoint. Hell, the Broncos have already begun downsizing. For some reason the city of Denver isn't stuffing enough cash into the coffers of their pro franchises. Of cou...
Scheduling a Huge Sunday In Sports
Apparently the e-Cameron Crazies are not handling the loss very well over at the Duke Basketball Forums. Perhaps one day they will recover. Fortunately the rest of us are ready to move on, and we have an amazing day of sports waiting for us. Continue after the jump for a full breakdown of the day's...
March Madness Up All Night
The night games are finally wrapping up, and the late night session is already underway off in Denver. My Pitt Panthers, led by the one and only Levance Fields, is matched up against a tough Michigan State team and I will not be live blogging for fear of getting way too emotional. I've long been a S...
Someone Alert the Watchdogs!
When will someone invent a bright red "ON-AIR" sign? Alas, it's too late for NESN's Andrew Brickley. The Boston Bruins commentator dropped an unfortunate "fuckin'" during last night's broadcast when he thought they were off air. Fortunately nobody was watching to alert the FCC. Boston Sportz has th...

Woody Allen Explains How Baseball Gloves Are Made
If you enjoy hearing kids repeat the word "leather" over and over (vaguely creepy), seeing Jonathan Winters in a Reds' uniform (like Frank TV, only funny), or listen to Woody Allen explain how to play second base, then you'll enjoy this old episode of Hot Dog; a Saturday morning kids' show from the ...
It's So Cute When Newspapers Fight Over The Cubs
The Chicago Sun-Times announced earlier today that Katie Hamilton, a 22-year-old college student, won its "Zell No" video contest. The newspaper says her entry "chastises [Tribune CEO Sam] Zell for pondering the sale of Wrigley Field's naming rights." What the paper didn't seem to realize was that H...

Athletes Have Fun In Different, Violent Ways
It's hardly news to report that professional athletes have a different definition of "fun" than you or we do. And we don't just mean the groupies at every stop on the road ... though that's certainly a factor too. We mean that they get to do things for amusement that the rest of humanity might find ...

ESPN Has An Northeast Coast Bias? What?
OK, I suppose one could say that we've been guilty of trotting out more than a fair share of Yankees, Mets and Red Sox posts over any given season (although we also have some Rick Ankiel and Barry Bonds posts we'd like you to meet). But ESPN takes its Northeast favoritism to an entire new level (lik...
