Bert Blyleven Loves To Fart
OK, now I get it. I've always wondered why Bert Blyleven wasn't in the Hall of Fame, and now it's clear: Post-game flatulence. He's just simply farted on too many writers over his long career. It's all here in this rather surreal interview with Big League Stew....

How Far We've Come From The Kobe Video
Amazingly, it has been less than a year since the ridiculous Kobe Video broke; look at Kobe now. To this day, we cannot fathom what compelled Kobe to light Bynum up like that to two random dudes he started talking to in the parking lot. We love TheKobeVideo.com; the famously "entrepreneurial" site p...

Christiano Ronaldo's Gal Seems A Little Narcissistic
Anytime British tabs plop a naked lady in the middle of their paper whenever they bloody well please, it is a little jarring, but always amusing. Yes, there are hundreds of girl-on-manatee-style snuff films out there that would be more much more shocking to porny internet-attuned senses, but these p...

Ice Hockey At Wrigley Field: The End Times Are Here

Julian Tavarez, Still Crazy, Still Losing Stuff
Next month, we'll be heading to Fenway Park to see our Cardinals play the Red Sox. We've been trying to calm our parents down; they're a little afraid Boston fans will come after them for wearing Cardinals garb. We don't think so. Cardinals fans and Red Sox fans have always gotten along well, thanks...
When Did Fernando Tatis Come Back?
Forgive us here, but we couldn't help but wonder, upon seeing highlights of the Mets' 12th-inning win over the Marlins last night ... Fernando Tatis is back in baseball? Wha?...

Michael Jackson's Big Night Out
Each time Michael Jackson pops up in public, I always think, hey, that guy who seemed to be the most captivating entertainer on the planet is still somewhere hidden behind that Play-Doh face. Probably not, but, come on, am I the only one who, as a 10-year-old, once thought my life would change for ...
The (Bleep) Pot Is Boiling Over In Kansas City. (Bleep)
Speaking just for myself, I think it's refreshing that we have a profanity-laced, post-game tirade by someone named Guillen whose first name is not Ozzie. Meet José Guillen, the Royals outfielder who lit into teammates on Wednesday following their 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Twins, which ran Kansas C...

The NHL Closer is written by the five Star Trek: The Next Generation enthusiasts from Melt Your Face Off. When not attending conventions, they can be found in their makeshift Holodeck, where they practice putting the moves on a virtual Counselor Troi. Set your phasers to stun, Deadspinners, because ...
