Woody Johnson Got Flustered When A CNBC Anchor Asked Him If Tim Tebow Was Still A Virgin
The Jets held their own against the best team in football on Monday night while Mitt Romney surged in the polls, so New York owner Woody Johnson must have assumed he was on sure footing when he headed into CNBC's coked-up Squawk Box earlier today. After the usual Mark Sanchez chat, Johnson faced a...

Tonight's NLDS Game 3 at Great American got off to a late start tonight thanks to an Idiot On The Field bearing a Romney-Ryan sign.

Vince Young is broke and out of work, so you'll forgive him if he retweets the occasional encouraging note.

Ichiro's Run Last Night Was Everything You Love About Ichiro And Everything You Hate About The Yankees
This is one of the things about the Yankees, one of the reasons the New York Yankees are a sickness on the soul of baseball, this play from Ichiro Suzuki last night. Ichiro! Honestly, if you root against the Yankees—which is to say, if you are not a native of the Bronx or a depraved human being—thi...

Bob Brenly Doesn't Understand How The Earth's Rotation Works
If there is one thing baseball announcers love talking about, it's shadows. "Boy I tell ya, these shadows are going to play havoc on the hitters this afternoon!"

Camden Yards beefed up security for the Orioles' return to the playoffs, as is customary.

Bengals Cheerleader Pleads Guilty To Sexing Up High School Student, Leaves Courthouse With Him
Sarah Jones has had a busy couple of years. In 2010, the former Ben-Gal (ugh) attempted to sue TheDirty.com for claiming she was riddled with STDs from sleeping with Cincinnati players.

Tiger Woods Apologized For Singlehandedly Losing The Ryder Cup
Despite the hyperbolic headline, Woods has come in for surprisingly little heat after a Ryder Cup the U.S. lost by one point, in which he went 0-3-1. Maybe it's because the outcome was decided before Tiger stepped up to the 18th tee on Sunday, maybe it's because there's plenty of blame to go around,...
