Brett Myers Wishes To Clear The Air
Only one apology in this edition of Who's Sorry Now?, if we're not counting Michael Vick. It's Phillies reliever Brett Myers, who expresses regret over calling Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Sam Carchidi "a retard" during a terse exchange Saturday. Myers had given up a couple of home runs against th...
South Carolina School System, We Salute You
This clip may be somewhat off topic, but you know what? I don't care. Because it's been gnawing at my brain now for nearly 48 hours, like a game of tetris where all you get are the long, L-shaped pieces and nothing fits, and why should I be the only one to suffer? It's from the Teen Miss USA Page...
George Mitchell, Still Slogging Along
In March 2006, we — Rick, actually — wrote, about the announcement of George Mitchell's steroid panel, "it would seem any investigation would have to be so wide-ranging that Bonds could either surpass Ruth and Aaron or retire before it can be completed." We thought that was ridiculous, and we believ...
Premier League
Sorry for the late start, but had some problems connecting to the wifi here in downtown Chicago. Man U versus Manchester City is already underway, then Arsenal v Blackburn, and finally the big match of the day, Chelsea Liverpool. I'll try to keep running updates as the matches go on and giving some ...

[Insert Header Here] (Get it? "Header!" It's a Soccer Joke!)
Surely you've been waiting with bated breath to find out what Marco Materazzi said to Zinedine Zidane that would provoke the shiny-pated Zidane to headbutt the shit out of him during the World Cup last year. (Who hasn't?) In his soon-to-be-released autobiography, Materazzi reveals the now-infamous l...
You Don't Want Tiger Pitching Your Product
Remember that old Tiger Woods Caddyshack commercial for American Express? It was one of Tiger's most likable moments; even Tiger can be funny when he's channeling Bill Murray....

Hope You Didn't Forget About Pedro
Whatever your thoughts about the Mets, or little people, or any of it, we have to say, it just seems right — and exciting even — to see Pedro Martinez making his way back. It doesn't quite feel like baseball is in order without him....
The NBA, Point Fixing, And You
In lieu of David Stern's big live press conference in about 20 minutes, bloggers weigh in on the Tim Donaghy officiating investigation ... including Mark Cuban!:...
A False Alarm For Beckham This Weekend
As people are still discussing whether or not David Beckham is really gonna help out the MLS that much, we pause for a moment for an empty moment of non-hype....
One Grand Salami, Please ... Not On White!
Earlier yesterday, reports leaked that Gary Sheffield said black and white players are treated differently under Yankees skip Joe Torre, Derek Jeter "ain't all the way black," and that he never used steroids because "steroids is something you shoot in your butt," in an upcoming HBO interview. Needle...
ESPN Brings Who's Now In For A Tuneup
You might have thought there would be absolutely no way whatsoever that ESPN could possibly salvage those soul-destroying "Who's Now?" segments. It would be reasonable to think so. But they might have found the only out they had....
David Ross Enjoys Life As A Major Leaguer
"TheNaturalMevs" of DiamondHoggers is rather upset with Reds catcher David Ross. Not just for his low batting average, but for his philandering ways. After the jump (and I can't tell exactly where that will be, the site just puts the jump wherever the hell it feels like these days), a story from a b...
If Only Mike Cooper Called New York City Home...
It's a sad commentary on the state of the summer sports scene that one of the most important things happening today (other than the Arena Football playoffs, of course) is this Mustache Madness tournament going on at Keyboard Quarterbacks....
Mel Hall Is Not A Nice Man
If you're like us, you've always wondered: Whatever happened to Mel Hall? (This is why you are fortunately not like us.) The thoroughly average '80s-early '90s outfielder plays stumbled along for the Cubs and Indians before playing on some truly wretched Yankees teams. Plucky fellow. Hope matters tu...
Pacman Jones Murders Pacman Jones' Dreadlocks
It always seems like the hair is the first casualty in the cleansing of one's image. Pacman Jones, seen there to your right, has not only washed the stripper glitter off of his face, but he's shorn his traditional dreadlocks. His agent says he was going for a more clean-cut, less dangerous image ......
