At Last, Proof The Book Will Actually Exist
We're going to do our absolute best to not overdo the whole book promotion thing — it's out January 22 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com — but we haven't shown you the cover yet (that's it, by Jim Cooke, of course), and we're doing our first public reading tomorrow night. So we thought yo...
David Wright Has A Head Wound
We don't have the slightest idea what the heck David Wright was doing wearing his ninja hat on SNY last night ... but heavens, man, that kid's gone plum crazy. UPDATE: Turns out, this was in honor of cancer patients. Yes. Ahem. Well then. We're dicks.)...
This Tattoo Should Cause No Problems Whatsoever
Know how I know your team is gay? It's, um, tattooed right on your arm there. Let this be a lesson to you kids: Beer, Aussie Rules football and Thai tattoo parlors generally don't mix. That's always been my motto, anyway....
Everyone Opens Up To Bubba The Love Sponge
Orioles Professional Hitter Aubrey Huff wouldn't seem like the type of guy who would let himself cut loose and act crazy on the radio, but hey, take a bat out of a man's hands, and he's liable to do some crazy things....
About Last Night

Dick Nolan, Rest In Peace
Before Ronnie Lott and Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, there was a plucky band of guys in shiny gold pants with names like John Brodie, Gene Washington and Cedrick Hardman. Many don't remember that it wasn't Bill Walsh who put the San Francisco 49ers on the map; it was Dick Nolan. He was the first coach...

The Gripping Ravens Quarterback Controversy
Say what you will about how bad Steve McNair has been this year … but it sure beats Kyle Boller. For Ravens fans, we can't imagine how depressing this sideline cutaway must be....
Budweiser's Right: The Browns Are So Good They Don't Even Need A Logo
Gus Johnson, calling that exhilarating Bills-Fins game today, just got done saying before the half that he thinks the Steelers are being slept on and that they could easily hang with the Patriots or Colts. DA says, "Suck on my Horse Balls, Gussy!" Browns 21, Steelers 9...

Miguel Cotto Once KO'd A Salesman ... Over The Phone
• Boxing. Miguel Cotto retained his WBA welterweight championship with a unanimous decision over Shane Mosley in New York. The fight was so close that both of fighters landed exactly 248 punches. That's creepy. Cotto, who is now 31-0, took the judges' cards at 116-113, 115-113 and 115-113. Mosley, n...
Kevin Garnett Doesn't Breathe, He Holds Air Hostage
• Just Seventy-Seven Games To Go. Hours after attending the funeral of his father, Doc Rivers watched his Celtics remain the NBA's only undefeated team with an impressive 112-101 win over the Nets.

Kevin Durant, Trail Blazer
We're longtime fans of the Draft Kevin Durant blog, if just because of the obsessive single-mindedness of it. (Even if it hasn't been updated in a while.) When Greg Oden went down with an injury, it was all the site could do not to cackle....
John Elway Should Be Free To Drink To His Heart's Content
The deification of John Elway in the Denver area is all-encompassing; we think Colorado might give Elway their presidential electoral votes just on general principle. Which is why we couldn't be more stunned: Someone cut off Elway from drinking at a bar!...
