Eddie Griffin's Odd Film Choices
In case you were in desperate need of some of the inside details of the Eddie Griffin masturbating in his car story — and, obviously, you were, because what person in his right mind isn't? — the official PDF version of the complaint in the lawsuit against him has been released.

If You Can Trust Anyone, You Can Trust Jose Canseco
Yesterday, Major League Baseball released a Strongly Worded Statement, making it clear that former Madonna statue Jose Canseco's claims — that Bud Selig and Co. could cover up a positive steroid test if the player (namely, Roger Clemens) were popular enough — "complete nonsense." It is the next in...

So, friends, here's a rather terrifying story from AdAge:...
Canseco Signs With Surf Dawgs. Of Course.
It's a story that San Diego anchorman Ron Burgundy would have been all over like a polyester suit: We were surprised to learn this morning that Jose Canseco has agreed to play minor league baseball with the San Diego Surf Dawgs. Surprised, only because, naturally, we assumed his next move would be...

Heckling Stephen A. Without Mercy
The raucousness of the crowds at the NBA and NFL Drafts in New York are somewhat legend, and last night, from many accounts, nobody was hit harder than ESPN's resident screamer Stephen A. Smith. And now it's all captured on video. Stephen A. is hit repeatedly in this video, for his Cheese Doodles,...

Jay Mariotti's Desires Slowly Revealing Themselves
Sometimes, it's instructive to look at why some stories go away within minutes of coming out — Peter Gammons' accidental plagarism — and some stories linger indefinitely, like that sticky film that just won't rinse away....

Well, That Was Miserable
Yeah! Soccer! Reading through the comments from the United States-Ghana live blog — the United States lost, by the way, if you didn't hear — pretty much prepared us for the postgame comments of ESPN analyst Eric Wynalda (whom we've actually enjoyed thus far): "Bruce Arena screwed up this World Cup f...
A Helpful Tip For Ozzie Guillen, And It's Free
Last night, before yet another brutal pasting of the Cardinals — hey, look, the White Sox just put another 10-spot on the board, and it's only noon! — White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen apologized for his reference to Chicago Sun-Times and "Around The Horn" "reporter" Jay Mariotti as a "fag," but not t...
Live Blog: United States Vs. Ghana
Well, here we go: It's the game that will let us know whether we're gonna have a rollicking drunk Tuesday 11 a.m. party next week, or whether ... well, whether the United States will be playing during said drunkenness. As you know, the United States needs an Italian win and a win here, both of whi...
The Deal With The TRL Thing
Back when we announced the sale of the "You're With Me, Leather" T-shirts, we promised a free post for whichever reader was able to feature the shirt on national television. But we — obviously — never dreamed it would be the host of TRL....
Mark Cuban's Relaxation Techniques
Our affection for Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is well-documented, and we certainly don't mean to pile on during what's assuredly a difficult day for him. But nevertheless, we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't show off these photos sent to us this morning, supposedly taken last Friday nigh...

Heat Win First-Ever Title, And Even Cuban's Classy About It
Even though their apparently show their loyalty by dressing up like Klan members — even when they're not actually at the arena in which the games are being played, like in this picture — and even though they don't have an owner whose brain is always on the verge of a noisy (and always smart and en...
YWML Suddenly Huge With 13-Year-Olds
Out of the wilderness, from the depths of madness, comes a strange, unlikely hero. He's got spikey hair, a nifty blazer and a T-shirt he holds close to his heart. His day job might seem like it would fall outside your particular spectrum of interest, but don't fret: There's a twinkle there, a tiny g...
