Carl Monday Will Have You Locked In Jail With The Key Thrown Away
A commenter brought this up yesterday, but we still cannot believe it: Mike Cooper, the 23-year-old dreamer with the sad misfortune of unleashing his lonely penis within a four-mile radius of Carl Monday, is being held on $500,000 bond after his arrest for indecency charges. You heard that correct...
Victor Conte And The Day The Music Died
In response to our post on BALCO-ape man Victor Conte from yesterday, a reader (actually a caller) points out that not only is Conte a musician, but he was the bass player for Tower of Power for a time in the 1970s ... albeit for only a little more than a year. His brother, Bruce Conte, was the mo...

Your Halfhearted Stanley Cup Pants Party
We have felt somewhat guilty around these parts for our almost total lack of Stanley Cup coverage. We have meant no offense; we just don't get a particularly strong "Holy crap, the Stanley Cup finals are starting tonight! Gooooo Hurricanes!" vibe. In fact, since the NHL playoffs started, we've recei...

Victor Conte Is Ready To Bring Some RAWK
If you've read Game Of Shadows, you know that BALCO founder Victor Conte is a bit of a self-promotional carnival barker tool. It's part of his charm, we suppose. But you also know that Conte was once a musician, and now that his prison time is served, he appears ready to rock again....

Mark Cuban's Self Diagnosis
We would like to formally congratuate the Dallas Mavericks and their owner, the billion-dollar penised Mark Cuban, for their convincing Western Conference clinching victory Friday evening. The Mavericks have been the most consistently enjoyable team to watch this postseason, and we are pleased to ...
Togo Already Dominating The World Cup
On Thursday, Togo's chief voodoo priest predicted that Togo's World Cup team would win the entire tournament, which is exceedingly unlikely. I think he had his signals confused a little bit, but hey, he was close. Miss Togo did win the Miss World Cup pagent....
To Watch Tonight...
• MLB: Angels @ Indians. The last time I watched CC Sabathia on a Sunday Night on ESPN, it didn't go that well for him. 8:00, ESPN. • Movie: Top Gun.

Ricky's Canadian Debut
Ricky Williams made his Canadian Football League debut last night in a pre-season exhibition game for the Toronto Argonauts. It looks like Ricky's domination of the Canadian game is not a given. He had seven yards on four carries. And I think his numbers get even worse when you consider the exchan...
It Rains Because Jack Nicklaus Hates Leatherlips
It's raining at Muirfield Village this week, site of the PGA's Memorial Tournament. Yesterday's rain delay lasted over six hours, in fact, and a lot of players had to get out early this morning and finish the second round. It's rained 21 times in 31 years at The Memorial. Wow, that seems like a lo...
Shaq Gets His Big Ass Back In The Finals
