Andy Roddick Is Not That Jacked Up

A-Rod Digs Deep Within
We were at the Yankees-Red Sox game last night, and noticed something that, finally, someone has clearly pointed out: Alex Rodriguez fiddles with his cup more than anyone else in baseball....
Tyler Clippard, Dane Cook Fan
Yankees fans rejoiced — well, maybe rejoiced was the wrong word — when rookie Tyler Clippard avoided a sweep at the hands of the Mets on Sunday night. And, as Newsday pointed out yesterday, it brought all kinds of new friends to Clippard's MySpace page. So we're happy to send a few more over....

A sun-splashed Saturday afternoon, on a Little League Field somewhere in America:...
We'd Classify This As A Waste Of Beer
With Leather had this yesterday, but it's too beautiful not to share with you as well: It's Port-a-John racing, in which you run on top of portable urinals and have beers thrown at you. This is exactly what our parents' wedding was like. This is from the Preakness ... of course....

Welcome, Jezebel: Turn To The Worship Of Her God Baal
The classy, bombastic lovely ladies seen here are the editors of the newest site from our benevolent benefactors at Gawker Media, Jezebel, which launched today. The basic premise of the site is mapped out in a manifesto about the five biggest lies that women's magazines spew. Personally, we've alway...
AJ Hawk Has Brady Quinn's Back
Last week, we published some rather unusual photos of new Browns quarterback Brady Quinn and the wedding of his sister and Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk. Well, Hawk spoke this weekend about the photos and he isn't too happy....
Fortunately, Nobody Wants To Watch A Playoff Overtime
As MJD pointed out yesterday, NBC, amazingly, cut away from the Senators-Sabres Game 5 overtime yesterday to show ... the first two hours of the Preakness prerace coverage. That's right: Rather than show the most exciting part of an entire hockey season, NBC chose to show Bob Costas interview people...
The Series That Could Bury The Yankees For Good
Notes from a day in baseball:...
To Watch Tonight...
• 8:00, ESPN. MLB. New York Yankees @ New York Mets. Tyler Clippard, to the rescue. • 8:00, FX. Movie. Dodgeball. I was never a huge fan of this one. I just kinda wanted to punch that pirate guy. • 8:00, Comedy Central. Movie. Office Space. You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the ...

Mr. Gourcuff Is A Team Player
It's been kind of a slow day (other than the hockey, which has been awesome ... so I'm told), so why not end things with a picture of a French guy who looks like he's about to go down on his AC Milan teammate. The official caption:...
To Watch Tonight...

John Denver Would Be So Proud
I post this as a favor to the students and fans of the University of Montana football team. If any of you were out there thinking, "Oh, that's so embarrassing," please allow West Fuckin' Virginia to steal a little bit of your thunder....
Consider This Your WNBA Season Preview
It's time to break out the glittered wigs and fanny packs ... the WNBA, or, as I like to call it, Diana Taurasi's secondary source of income, sees their 2007 season kick-off today. The Detroit Shock take on the Sacramento Monarchs at 3:30 on ABC today, which probably has nothing to do with why the W...
