Bobby Petrino Kept Jessica Dorrell A Secret As Long As Possible: More Crash Details Emerge
From the beginning, Bobby Petrino's motorcycle accident raised questions beyond the comely blonde involved. From the point of view of the Arkansas State Police, they needed to quickly clear up the matter of Captain Lance King, an off-duty officer who transported Petrino—but not Dorrell—to the hospit...
Three Fat Ex-Packers Linemen Have A Wine Label Called "Three Fat Guys"
What do people in Wisconsin like? Yup, the Packers. And what do people in Wisconsin also like? Yup, alcohol....
It Will Be Hard, But Not Impossible, To Get Drunk At The Blue Jays' Home Opener
A reminder to Blue Jays fans that you should probably get hammered before going through the turnstiles tonight, as the Rogers Centre will be severely curtailing beer sales since you've proven you can't hold your alcohol. Look at you. You're a drunken sloppy mess and you're never going to make anythi...
Here's How Four Broadcast Teams Described The Orioles Streaker On Friday
The ad hoc policy to not televise fans who run onto the field during baseball games is intended to discourage copycats, though its effectiveness is debatable at best. Yet while viewers may be blind to the rogue fan's activities, announcers can't resist providing their own take on the action....

Report: Basketball Hero Skip Bayless Actually Averaged 1.4 Points Per Game As A High School Senior
About a week ago, we told you about the high school exploits of "starting point guard" Skip Bayless. According to Skip, he started for the team that would eventually lose in the state finals. Turns out, Skip Bayless is a fibber. Or, maybe his coach just had an unconventional way of constructing his...
Antoine Walker Is Retiring After Two Seasons With The Idaho Stampede
Easter Sunday was the day for resurrection. But today is not Easter Sunday. Today is Monday. No one gets resurrected on Monday. And so today is the day that Antoine Walker officially retires from basketball....
Augusta National's Gallery Reacted Beautifully To Bubba Watson's Missed Putt In Sudden Death
While Bubba Watson's Masters championship will be remembered best for his miracle shot from the pine straw, it's worth recalling that he actually missed the putt to win on 18 in the first sudden death hole of his playoff with Louis Oosthuizen....
The Marlins Have Become The (Original) Kings Of Comedy
The Miami Marlins are 1-3 so far in their dream season. They'd be fifth in the NL East if not for the fact that an NL East team (Atlanta) had to play the New York JuggerMets and consequently didn't win a game. Their manager offended, like, half of Miami. Someone's squatting on their domain name. The...
Carmelo Anthony And The Promise Of Hero Ball
It's April, and Carmelo Anthony owns New York again. How could he not, after Anthony scored 43 points, including threes for the equalizer in regulation and the winner in overtime, and the Knicks absolutely stole a game from a possible playoff opponent in the Bulls? The love-in has begun, and the n...
Here's What $78 Worth Of Hot Dogs Looks Like
We wrote a few weeks ago about the Texas Rangers' $26 hot dogs, and the ESPN crew decided to order a few up to the booth during last night's broadcast. If all three of those were consumed in their entirety, I have to imagine the pressbox was a pretty miserable place to be by the end of the ballgame...
A Man Named Bubba Is Masters Champion Thanks To This Phenomenal Shot From The Parking Lot
Bubba Watson overcame a missed clutch putt to come back in the second hole of his playoff with Louis Oosthuizen by launching a perfect recovery from well off Augusta National's 10th fairway onto the green. On a day that featured two holes-in-one and a double eagle, it'll be the shot golf fans rem...
The New Season Has Its First Walkoff Homer, And It Capped Off A Classic Red Sox Meltdown
The promise of a new season hasn't shown much inspiration for the Boston Red Sox, as the disappointment at how last season ended has been reflected in their first three games of 2012: all of them losses, and two of them in walkoffs....
Bo Van Pelt Tied The Masters Sunday Round Record Of 64 Thanks To This Hole-In-One
Bo Van Pelt came from nowhere in posting a 64 in today's round at Augusta, tying the best-ever score on a Sunday at the Masters and falling a stroke shy of the all-time single-round record. He did it with the help of this ace on the 16th. ...
Two Games In And The Boston Red Sox Are Being Compared To The Titanic
Oh, this is delicious. The usually level-headed and sane Dan Shaughnessy had a few things to say following the absolute drubbing of the Red Sox by the Detroit Tigers yesterday. This one had it all. An already-short-with-the-media Bobby Valentine, continued Josh Beckett injury speculation and Shaugh...
Boston College Is Your NCAA Hockey Champion, Though This Fan Passed Out Before The Game Was Over
Boston College dispatched Ferris State 4-1 to win tonight's NCAA Division I hockey championship in Tampa, and we wish the Eagles and their fans a hearty congratulations on their third title in five years. We don't know whether to congratulate or be concerned for this fan, though, who appears to h...
Peanuts, Cracker Jack, And Chaw: This Young Rangers Fan Is A Spitting Image Of Dad [UPDATE]
It's just a few days into the baseball season, but we're already reminded that some of the best action takes place in the stands, not on the field. Here's an example, as a young Rangers supporter takes after his father both in physical resemblance and, it appears, in the use of smokeless tobacco....

Amateur Motorcyclist, World Class Adulterer And Asshole: Bobby Petrino's Greatest Hits
Bobby Petrino is no stranger to the thrill of flirting. His dalliance with Jessica Dorrell and their ill-fated motorcycle jaunt is only the latest in a just another notch in the belt-filled career. He's bounced from program to program and coached college kids and professionals, never staying more t...
