Get This ... Duke Now Hates ESPN
As we all know, Duke basketball and ESPN grew up together; slept on each other's sofas, double-dated, brought each other homework when the other was too hung over to make it to class. But now the relationship has become frosty. Hey, we all grow up, man. Duke and ESPN just don't like all of the same ...
Eat Ice, Evil Doers!
In Canada, it's never too early to teach the fundamentals of the national sport, even to eight-year-olds. Inside and outside edges, skating backward, forward crossovers, and if there's a scuffle on the ice you go over the boards and get in a few good shots, son!...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you ruminate over who would win a fight between Anton Chigurh and Kaiser Soze ... • College football: Middle Tennessee at Troy. Yes, I believe it was Homer who wrote of the war between the Trojans and the Blue Raiders. [ESPN2] • College basketball: Maui Invitational, semifinals, Mar...
Those Crazy Kids And Their Flying Machines
If they suspended the kid who spelled out "We Suck" in the opposing team's cheering section, we can't imagine what they'll do to a North Carolina student who almost crashed a plane into his home football stadium on a dare....
Kirby Freeman Did Not Have a Good Day
It’s nice to see that someone took the time to dedicate a video to Kirby Freeman’s other-worldly stat line from Miami’s overtime loss to NC State. 1-14 84 yards 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions—that’s just fantastic. But hey, that 84 yard touchdown was probably the highlight of the day....
Welcome To The Fukudome
As the baseball offseason enters its sixth day, it's already time to begin looking at our latest Japanese imports. In this case, it's another Hideki Matsui-type player, Kosuke Fukudome. Pronunciation could get a little dangerous. It's either co-SOO-kay FOO-coo-DOUGH-may or kuh-SUCK-ee FUCK-a-DOME....
Your Heart Says No, But Your Eyes Say Yes
Grandpa returns home from the hospital today, and you're throwing a party to celebrate his successful triple-bypass surgery. But what can you serve that's both easy to prepare and economical? Thanks to the genius of And I Am Not Lying, your problems are solved!...
DC's Mainstream Sports Media Makes Beautiful Music
I haven't the slightest clue whether or not you will care about this story, but I find it positively delightful. The DC sports media (of which I am certainly not a member) conducted quite the karaoke competition and it was all documented in sublime fashion by the master himself, Dan Steinberg....
What, No Facepaint?
For a franchise with such a short and unremarkable history the Carolina Panthers sure seem to attract an odd level of devotion. Most recently a curious young couple thought fit to devote their entire wedding ceremony to the team they love so much....
This Ain't Over
Don't be confused everyone, it's me, Unsilent Majority. I'm filling in tonight because Will was delayed in his travels or he just doesn't love you anymore...the text message wasn't entirely clear on that matter....
Just Another Peaceful Day Of Youth Baseball On Long Island
At first glance it's the story you've heard a hundred times before: Little League coach benches player for swearing; player calls dad on cell phone; dad and uncle arrive and pummel the coach unconscious on the pitcher's mound; arrests ensue. But this one has a few twists: Mob connections, federal wi...
About Last Night
What you missed while flossing ... • MLB: God and John Denver do helicopter high-five, Rockies advance to World Series. • NFL: When the machines rise up and attempt to conquer mankind, Eli Manning shall lead us. Giants 31, Falcons 10. • NHL: We're relatively sure that the Ducks played on Monday, and...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while hunting the great white whale ... • MLB: Torre's execution delayed on appeal, thanks to Johnny Damon. Yankees 8, Indians 4. • NFL: Favre breaks another hallowed record, that you probably won't hear much about from Madden. Bears 27, Packers 20. • NHL: Well, at least something we...
Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom....
Pat White Has A Special Friend
West Virginia quarterback Pat White would seem like the guy who has everything. NFL-ready talent — we guess — a spot on one of college football's best team and, you know, he's kind of handsome, if you're into that sort of thing. But the guy just wants more....
