In the wake of Le Anne Schreiber's dead-on column this week, we got to thinking about ESPN's much-ballyhooed Corrections Page. Remember that? How it was going to be a regular documentation of all ESPN mistakes, standing accountable? Well, it hasn't quite turned out that way....
It's The Festive Season In Bristol
We missed the official Gawker Media holiday party last week, which is probably for the best; it's all just a bunch of drunk 22-year-olds over there anymore anyway. And, unfortunately, we're not gonna be able to sneak into the ESPN party tomorrow night. Actually, it's not that unfortunate; it sounds ...

Submit Your Body Shots to Bruno Fierce
Craigslist is an almost endless source of entertainment if you're coming down off of a coke bender, otherwise it's good for the occasional laugh.

Dennis Green Mocks Himself For Cash
Say what you will about former Buzzsaw "coach" Dennis Green, but you can't say he's not entrepreneurial. He has moved to copyright the phrase "They Are Who We Thought They Were."...
A-Rod Is Not A Pleasant Landlord
