Lleyton Hewitt's Sister Probably Works Out
This is Lleyton Hewitt's sister Jaslyn. Obviously being some sort of body builder she's significantly more intimidating than any of the nancy boys on the ATP Tour, but on the women's side of things she'd just be another face. The wily Mottram brothers at Mister Irrelevant couldn't help but noticing ...
Arizona Plays Two-On-Five ... And Still Almost Wins
So here's a story that's kind of fun: The Arizona women's basketball team only dressed six players in their game last night. It did not end well....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while perusing fake Craigslist ads... • 8:00 p.m. — Hawaii Bowl: East Carolina vs. Boise State. It's so inconvenient to have to bring your own blue paint on road trips, but it's worth it. [ESPN] • 8:15 p.m. — NFL: Redskins at Vikings. Or, a rematch of the colonization of Newfoundland. ...
Colleen Bellotti Is In Tents
Colleen Bellotti-who may or may not be the First Lady of Oregon football-laid in to the Oregonian's John Canzano at Saturday's game, and she didn't care who was around. Canzano had written some uncomfortable stories regarding Bellotti's son's DUI, which is pretty odd, considering he's also a member ...

No One Will Be Stripping After A Goal This Year
Considering it is soccer, it was only a matter of time until the rest of the world caught up with the United States. But this morning's 4-0 loss to Brazil in the semifinals of the Women's World Cup was still rather shocking....
The Knicks Know How To Handle A Problem
The Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case updates will come earlier today, mainly because we really can't get over just how Cro-Magnon Madison Square Garden appears to be as a place of business. We know a couple of women who work over there ourselves, actually, and we want to tell them to get the hell...
Rob Stone Knows How To Liven Up A Broadcast
All told, we find this rather clever — and, to be honest, we've been enjoying the Women's World Cup considerably more than we would enjoy a Troy-Oklahoma State game — and we pretty much enjoy everything Stone does. (We had no idea sideline reporters could be funny; isn't that against the rules?) Tho...

Dance, Marshall Fella, Dance
Last night, in Huntington, W.Va., the Marshall football team hosted a Women's Clinic, meant, apparently, to explain to feeble minded babymakers the basic concepts of football so that they will understand when to leave the room, when to leave the house and when to just bring more beer. It's not easy...
How Not To Help A Player Cheat In Class
If you're going to cheat in class to help a college athlete, it's probably a wise idea to at least pretend to try to hide it. Use a fake email account, wear a fake mustache, something. Cover your tracks a little, you know?...
Make These Women Carry Your Stuff
The woman in this photo is Lucy Dardiner, one of the specialty caddies from England's Eye Candy Caddies. The concept is what you think it is: Attractive people, carrying your clubs and, we dunno, feeding you grapes or something....
You Stole The Wrong Car, Dude
We know this will come as a shock to you, but apparently sometimes they steal cars in the Detroit. We know; we're as stunned as you. Anyway, if you're gonna steal a car in Detroit, we'd highly recommend you make sure the people you steal it from don't play for the Detroit Demolition women's football...
Christie Kerr Is Going To Celebrate
I spent some time watching women's golf this afternoon. This isn't something I do a lot of ... but I was rooting for Lorena Ochoa, who's got a little bit of a reputation of a ... well, a choker, in clutch situations in the majors....
Most NASCAR Owners Started This Way
Because she adds to what already could be the most historic weekend ever for women in auto racing, let's take a second to appreciate the "NASCAR stripper."...
As The Old Joke Goes, She's Out With A Womb
Considering we don't, you know, pay all the collegiate athletes who bring in so much money for their universities, an athletic scholarship is the holy grail, the precious, the one benefit to spending so much time training and sweating. So one can't lose it, lest the whole matter go to waste....
You Have No Idea How Hard It Is Not To Make A "Pokey" Joke
This, friends, is Pokey Chatman, who, until about 16 hours ago, was one of the most successful young coaches in women's college basketball, leading her LSU Tigers into the NCAA tournament and earning the respect of her peers. Now, though, she's decidedly less than that: Now she's a disgraced former ...
