Greetings, Spinheads
Happy day after Thanksgiving. Today is gonna be looser than usual, given both the tech issues and that the vast majority of you are out shopping, or hungover, or getting ready for high school reunions. We'll cover some stuff, we'll ignore a lot of stuff, and have some fun being buddy, buddy, buddy a...
Tim McCarver Needs A New Broker
No matter what your opinion is about America's most prominent baseball explainer, you have to feel for Tim McCarver a little bit after hearing this story.

Lenny Dykstra's Financial Acumen Called Into Question (Again)
Did that Lenny "Wally Wall Street" Dykstra story from yesterday seem a little fishy? (And familiar?) Well yes, his troubles with a few of his business partners have been well documented, but those were just friendly disagreements over strategy and don't really change the fact that the guy is filthy ...
After 21 Months Living in the Trees, Cal-Berkeley Tree Protesters Removed
Yeah, 21 months. The protest began when Cal announced that they were planning a $124 million dollar expansion of athletic facilities just outside their football stadium.

There, we find a perfect disconnect from the...

We don't want to throw a cold bucket of confetti on the proceedings late tonight, but could it be that all of the perceived new focus by USA Basketball and its players on preparation and presenting a warm face to the public has an awful lot to do with the 1.3 billion consumers the shoe companies (an...

The Cubs-White Sox Feud Comes To Sesame Street
So it's three more Cubs fans in the hoosegow, another White Sox fan in the hospital, and life goes on in this strange, strange land we call "Illinois." When will the senseless violence end? My deepest regret is that Ernie and Bert had to see this. From the Chicago Tribune: ...
Mike Tyson's Rub Out
Mike Tyson is one of those rare breeds who, whatever kind of trouble they get into or bizarre allegation they have thrown at them, it's never surprising. (Ed. Note: Doesn't Simmons have a theory about this?) The latest one proves it; any other famous person on the planet accused of financing a hit...

Spiraling Down The Coaching Abyss
We remember, a few years ago, when Roy Williams (the coach, not the pizza delivery boy) left Kansas to coach North Carolina.
