Bonds, Conte, Steroids... Blah
I actually can't tell how big of a story this is. When I see the words "Bonds" and "steroids" and a headline, I can try to read it, but in my head, it will all just sound like the teacher in Charlie Brown. But it's the top headline on ESPN.com right now, so it might be worth a mention....

We'll Take It Over Bayless On TV, Anyday
Well, Bill Simmons made his appearance on "The Colbert Report," and, as you'd probably expect, those who can stay up that late are talking about it today.

You Need Jay Mariotti On That Wall
You see, the thing is, folks, Jay Mariotti is not a puffy blowhard who screams schtick into a camera and then types full-throated, half-conceptualized ripjob columns as fast as possible while complaining that Ozzie Guillen mock raped him in the shower (or something) ... that's all just an anti-Mario...

That's All For The Leftover Bulls
Something struck us as awfully sad today when we learned that Toni Kukoc is retiring from the NBA. It always makes sports fans feel old when someone who they remember coming in as a rookie ends up retiring, but somehow Kukoc hanging them up felt different, probably because he was the last guy left...
Being Brad Lidge
We are accustomed, in sports, to one moment changing everything; it's probably the main reason we watch. But it's forever fascinating to see how one moment can affect a human being, morphing them from a dominant force of nature to a scared boy in big pants, alone out there. These moments can't make ...
Chad Johnson Is A Chicken Dance Maestro
