Jack Kent Cooke's Daughter Has Lots Of Moxie, Little Class
The daughter of former Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke is a feisty little lassie named Jacqueline Kent Cooke and, like most millionaire heiresses, she seems to have a problem with authority and a staggering sense of entitlement. That would explain why she sued the executors of her beloved dead fat...
Offend Lance Armstrong, And Face The Consequences
The hatred so many people in the cycling world have for Lance Armstrong once seemed a little bewildering to us outsiders. The guy beat cancer! He's the only reason anyone has ever cared about cycling! He pisses off the French! What's not to like? And then he started dating Kate Hudson and jogging wi...

Piling On The Mets
We know Rick already covered this this morning, but we really can't quite get over what has happened to the New York Mets. We don't think Willie Randolph belongs in Isiah Thomas Country — for example, Willie Randolph, as far as we know, has not encouraged an atmosphere where interns can sleep with p...

Apparently, The Jennie Finchification Of Softball Is Under Way
So, has Jennie Finch completely transformed softball from a sport once overtaken by rampant lesbianism to one more appealing to bubbly straight girls ? It depends. You can talk to one person and they'll tell you about how half the people they knew on their college and high school softball team wore ...
About Last Night
What you missed after being arrested for having Wii in your pants ... • NBA: Celtics stubbornly refuse to give up plan to win all home games, lose all on the road. Boston 88, Detroit 79. • NFL: No salary cap in 2010? What could possibly go wrong? • MLB: Now that Lacckkkkey's, back in toowwwwnnn ... ...
Tyler Hansbrough Regrets NOTHINGGGGGG!!!!!!
Via 850: The Buzz and The Big Lead, here's North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough jumping off a roof into (hopefully) a pool....
Hugh Douglas Wants To Kill Me
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel, and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th ) awf...
Which Golden Boy Will Get Wooden?
Storming The Floor looks at the Wooden Award ... if they dare!...
Miami Hurricanes SID Seems To Be A Bit Of A Monster
Today's entirely creepy and queasy story comes to us from ... well, from The U, which probably isn't entirely surprising. But this isn't a fun tale of coked up strippers or the Seventh Floor Crew. This one involves child porn and the school's child porn....
And Now ... A Coach Reaction Montage
As Virginia Tech fell to North Carolina on the final shot, Dick Vitale declared "there should be an investigation" if Tech doesn't receive an at-large berth to the tournament, which does hold a modicum of truth. There are 65 invites, and with 12 ACC teams, that leaves 53 slots for the entire country...
Racial Controversy In College Basketball? Certainly Not!
CBS Sportsline columnist Mike Freeman has taken issue with all of the media attention afforded to North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. So he wrote a column about it, and, as they say, hilarity ensued. It was a rather amusing rant by Freeman as he took aim at Dick Vitale, Sports Illustrated, and Bill ...

Beijing Olympics To Be Devoid Of Dramatic Closeups, Mechanical Sharks
Bad news for all those who actually watch the opening and closing ceremonies at the Summer Olympics; Steven Spielberg has dropped out as director at the Beijing Games. Or actually he was going to be the "artistic adviser," whatever that means. All I know is that now my dream of watching Dennis Weave...
Tom Coughlin's Audacious Hands Of Hope And Joy
As much as we enjoyed the Giants-Packers NFC Championship Game on Sunday — we were hardly rooting for the Giants, but hey, what's more exciting than a guy finally hitting a game-winning field goal on his third try? — we found it somewhat disorienting: We are absolutely not used to see Giants coach T...
Read Our Site, Or This UFC Guy Will Pummel You
Those of you kids who like the Ultimate Fighting Championships — and we will confess a fascination ourselves — are surely familiar with Matt Hughes. Not only is he a nine-time UFC welterweight champion, he's also author of the New York Times bestselling autobiography Made In America (his co-author...
NFC Championship: First Half
Sorry for the delayed start, but we're underway in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which I'm told is positively lovely this time of year. The Packers are starting with the ball and Favre comes out in a succession of naked bootlegs. Perhaps this morning's episode of the Mayne Event was actually trying to tell ...
