High School Football: Gayer Than Gay?
This isn't easy to say so we're just going to say it: According to a new survey, one third of former high school football players have had sexual relations with other men. That's according to a new study to be published in the Journal of Sex Roles, which I totally just read by accident, and that's t...
Baseball Remains SO Tough On Steroids
The New York Times this morning confirmed something we all pretty much suspected: Baseball's steroid "tests" are so easy to usurp and foil that you'd have to be an idiot to fail one. (Or Mike Cameron.)...

A Look At Kevin Garnett
We're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alph...

One More Time To Kill the Pain
Well here we are, staring at what's likely to be the final game of the 2007 Major League Baseball season. If Leitch were here he'd probably be inconsolable, but I think I'm handling it just fine. After the marathon regular season the post season has been unremarkable at best. I'm ready for next year...
Luis Castillo Is On That "Stuff" Again
In China they say that a hippopotamus in your swimming pool is a sign of good fortune and virility*. In San Diego it means that the poor big bastard needed to soak his shit out. Seriously, those wildfires will dry out your skin before you know it....

Boston College got things off to a good start for the undefeated teams back on Thursday night. By the time Monday morning rolled around all four of the unbeaten BCS schools remained perfect. The Sun Devils of Arizona State came out with the most significant-and perhaps most unexpected-victory of the...
DC's Mainstream Sports Media Makes Beautiful Music
I haven't the slightest clue whether or not you will care about this story, but I find it positively delightful. The DC sports media (of which I am certainly not a member) conducted quite the karaoke competition and it was all documented in sublime fashion by the master himself, Dan Steinberg....
What, No Facepaint?
For a franchise with such a short and unremarkable history the Carolina Panthers sure seem to attract an odd level of devotion. Most recently a curious young couple thought fit to devote their entire wedding ceremony to the team they love so much....
For Giants Fans, Crazy Is As Crazy Does
Sure the Red Sox have a bit of momentum going, and it looks like they're going to cruise to their second World Series title. That's because Colorado Rockies fans are relatively new at this. They don't understand that, when things aren't going your way, it's never too early to call in a bomb threat....
Hey Kids, It's The Giant Colon!
Seriously, the kids could spend all day playing in the giant colon. And they would, if the state capitol building didn't close at 4. Actually, the display is called "Super Colon and Friends," and is on display in Carson City, Nev., to raise colon cancer awareness. But I just call it fun! (Yes, I ha...

Barry Bonds Will Now Accept Your Admiration On A Neatly Typed Index Card
Clearly, Barry Bonds has learned a lot from Karl Rove. The mad scientist behind George W. Bush's rise to power had one sentence scribbled over and over in his campaign playbook; never let your guy have an unscripted moment. And so Barry's big "interview" at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on ...
