Cricket Star Not Well-Endowed, Kind of Chubby
Warne, whom the British tabloids have been tracking for years, is being divorced by his wife after he was nailed for cheating on his her for the umpteenth time. This in itself is not necessarily newsworthy; athletes, we hear, are known to sleep around a bit, maybe, not sure. But the story here is pr...
Hey, Sometimes You Need A Place To Sleep During Devil Rays Games
Well, it was only a matter of time. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays — the saddest, cheapest, most desperate franchise in baseball — has taken to selling furniture at the ballpark. Seriously. The D-Rays have a deal with a local furniture outlet to sell ottomans and sofas and all kinds of things you lie d...

This Week In Weird Foreign Sports
We tend to find European sports terminology hilarious, mainly because it points to how equally absurd American sports terminology is. We all might know what "a blooper to shallow left" means, but to anyone not intimately familiar with baseball terminology, that's just nonsensical babbling. So here...
Tracking The Sportswriter Hacks
Yesterday, we speculated how much backtracking each of the major sports pundits would do if they were wrong about last night's Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Here's a look:...

Tracking The Sportswriter Hacks
Tonight is Game 7 of the NBA Finals, which always inspires Cheetos-stained hacks to break out all their superlatives and bold proclamations. Like all sportswriters, they presume that no one will remember today's birdcage liner when tomorrow's hotsheets come out. But they are wrong. We are watching...

Ricky Williams Slinks Back Into Town
We still can't quite believe running stoner Ricky Williams is really going to play this year. This guy quit football to smoke pot — and hey, we're not gonna mock him for that; the only difference between him and a lot of our friends is that he actually had a job to quit — and left all his teammate...

Kutcher, Iverson and T.O All Punk Each Other And Smile
Remember the story of Ashton Kutcher punking Alex Rodriguez? Essentially, Kutcher and his "Punk'd" buddies pulled a prank on A-Rod where they had a Red Sox fan get all belligerant with him. Supposedly — Rodriguez refused to sign the waiver for the footage to be shown — A-Rod freaked out and becam...

We Bring Tiger Here To Bury, Not To Praise, Him
Yet another reason why being a multi-millionaire athlete that people worship all the world over must be a pain in the ass: People are always looking for you to screw up so they can metaphorically punch you in the face. Two golf strokes, over a 72-hole tournament, ultimately isn't much, but in the ...

Bobby Abreu's Otherworldly Restraint
All right, now, we pay pretty close attention to this sports business. (We do it for a living, after all.) But we'll fess up: We had heard nothing about this Bobby Abreu story from last month. Maybe it's because we don't watch Spanish language TV. But still....
