Sacha Baron Cohen's New Guy Is Tall
Wait a minute, where did all of those Hawks fans come from?...

Closing Out This Bissinger Business
We really don't want to get into this too much more today, because yesterday was exhausting enough (and we weren't even working!). But we will say this: We were, bizarrely, on "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" yesterday, and not only was the level of discourse pitched higher than on "Costas Now," b...

This Is What It Sounds Like When A Franchise Dies
We missed Bill Simmons' impassioned work for Sonics fans while we were on vacation, but it's really pretty excellent stuff, and exactly what a national sports columnist should be doing with his platform. Not that anyone will notice, or do anything, or care....

Our Brief Conversation With The Guy Releasing All The Berman Videos
Over the weekend, we emailed the infamous "ampex2000," the guy who has been releasing all those amazing Chris Berman videos that are out to destroy God. We were looking for an interview. Unfortunately, Busted Coverage beat us to it. But we still talked to him anyway....

Chris Berman Is Somewhat Perturbed With The Help
We have no idea why it has taken eight years for this video to come out ... but we think it was worth the wait....

We Proudly Present "A Clockwork Leather"
You may remember back in June, when we underwent our watch-ESPN-for-24-hours experiment for the book. Well, now that the book is out, the mad geniuses at Zubaz Pants have put together a visual interpretation of that chapter of the book....

The Burnley Bee Will Not Tolerate Nakedness
Look, from now on, when a costumed bee tackles a naked man during an English League soccer match — and then does about a half-hour Bee Victory Dance to celebrate the feat — I want to be informed immediately. I'm just seeing this now? Inexcusable. Hirshey, or someone, will pay. Now, on with the show....

Todd Collins and the Early NFL Action
The Flying Mottram Brothers over at Mister Irrelevant posted a rather odd Todd Collins tribute video they found on the U-tubes and it just happened to include a picture of the rookie card you see pictured. I mention this not for any particular reason, I just remember coming across this card many yea...

To Watch Tonight
What to watch while making the world's longest lanyard ... • NBA: Boston at Miami; Los Angeles Lakers at Utah. Everybody was Shaq Fu fighting ... [ESPN] • College football: Fresno State at New Mexico State. Bulldogs vs. Aggies. Um, what's an Aggie again? [ESPN2] • Motor sports: NASCAR Nextel Cup Awa...

NY Baseball Players Love Dem Reggaeton Beats
Still crawling out of that Thanksgiving-induced coma? Need an activity to help burn a few of those 10,000 calories of food and alcohol you just packed on? Then why not turn up Hector El Father's Pa' La Tumba — complete with Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano cameos — and get your hot regga...


Why Aren't Baseball Video Games Any Good?
We like to play the occasional video game, but we don't obsess over them, mostly because we're not very good at them. We have, however, obsessed over Strat-o-Matic before, because we're a nerd for baseball simulation. (A bit redundant phrasing, we agree.)...

Stomper Recognizes The 'Fifth Element' Of Hip-Hop
I, for one, look forward to the day Oakland A's mascot Stomper is voted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. Between "getting hyphy" with the fans, breaking like a member of the Rock Steady Crew, and now this … that elephant's gonna have one hell of an induction ceremony!...

Exclusive New England Patriots Spy Video
Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to leave Bill Belichick alone. ("He's a human being!") But I couldn't resist posting this exclusive video footage that shows just how those sneaky Pats managed to cheat against the Jets. I mean, Madden? Who would've thunk it?...
