... Or, As The NHL Calls It, 'Thursday'
For those who like their NHL violence varied and wanton, we present Thursday's Ottawa at Buffalo matchup, which makes the Spanish Inquisition look like a tickle fight. The Sabres' 6-5 OT win featured 100 total penalty minutes, with eight penalties for fighting, four for hooking, two for instigating ...
Moon Over Mormon Country
Here's the word from the official USC ice hockey site, which was on the scene as the Trojans ended their season with a 6-4 loss in the ACHA playoffs to BYU this past weekend:...
Baseball Season Preview: New York Mets
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
A-Rod's Tree Fort Now A Very Lonely Place
Listen son, I know that you were hoping that Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter would someday get back together, so that you and your favorite players would be a family again. But it's just not going to happen. Sometimes, people just grow apart, and there's nothing you can do about it. But both Alex and...
The Bunnies Are Not To Be Dunked On, Nate Robinson
I called Nate Robinson "annoying" earlier, but I may have been hasty in my judgment. From the Las Vegas Review Journal, via The FanHouse, comes this report of a dunk that Nate had planned for last night's contest....
Because This Had To End With Tim Hardaway Being Nude On YouTube
Tim Hardaway might not enjoy gay people, but I really think it could give us all a chance to heal if gay people had a chance to enjoy Tim Hardaway. And since there's already footage available on YouTube that might facilitate this healing process... I feel morally obligated to bring it to you....
David Wright Needs Your Help In Choosing A New Theme So
In case you haven't heard, David Wright is retiring his theme music: the Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey, which blared over the Shea Stadium loudspeakers each time he stepped to the plate last season.

Eli Manning Has A Hard Time Meeting Girls
We don't listen to the radio much — we're too busy with Meat Loaf and REO Speedwagon on an endless iPod loop — so we missed this little tidbit from the Opie and Anthony "show." Some guy named Jason Itzler, who used to run the NY Confidential "escort" service, was a guest on the show, and the hosts a...
Chris Berman Isn't Here To Talk About The Past
Clay Travis, one of the bright spots over at CBS Sportsline, once opined about the daily hell that "You're With Me, Leather" could potentially put Chris Berman through, but as far as we knew, no one had ever actually asked him about it in a public forum. That is, until this weekend, at the Pebble Be...
A-Rod's Story Of A Sensitive Boy
We mentioned this when the deal was originally announced, and now, today, the day has finally arrived: Alex Rodriguez's children's book has hit the stands. "Out Of The Ballpark" is the story of a second baseman named Alex who makes an error and — get this — begins to play worse because he's putting ...
This Means It's About Time For Super Bowl Week To End
While I'm trying to truly appreciate my favorite spam e-mail subject line of all-time — "Experience the outbreak of firmness in your pants with Viagra Soft Tabs" — here's something equally weird....
If You See These People At Large, Turn Them In IMMEDIATELY
Sure, you might look at this picture and think you see the kindly, warm-hearted parishioners of The Fall Creek Baptist Church in Indianapolis. It might make you feel warm; it might make you long for home. You might see nice old ladies during an Hawaiian-themed event. You might see that....
OJ Mayo Can Shove Refs With His Mind
We've been hearing all week about video of prep star O.J. Mayo's "incident," in which he supposedly knocked a referee over. Mayo claimed the ref was "vengeful" and that he pulled a soccer-type flop, for whatever reason....

Finally, A Team We Can Really Root For
In case you missed it in last Sunday's New York Times, the Fugees are a group of three youth soccer teams from Clarkston, Ga., who are having big problems finding a place to play. Clarkston residents, you see, don't like soccer. "There will be nothing but baseball and football down there as long as ...
Why You Shouldn't Randomly Promise Tickets To Strangers
When your team makes the Super Bowl, sometimes some promises you've made in the past come back to haunt you. That's what happened to Bears safety Chris Harris, who was on public access earlier this year and found himself in a situation where his mouth was writing checks his ticket stash couldn't cas...

You know what the problem with flight attendants are? You don't? Well, WE'LL TELL YA....
Rex Grossman, Like Jim McMahon, But Without The Sunglasses And Headband
We don't mean to imply that Bears fans can get a little crazy in their devotion to their team — they can, but they're usually not mean about it — but this sign, seen at Soldier Field yesterday, seems a bit much. We're amazed this actually stayed up, we really are....
Peyton Manning, An Image Now In Need Of An Upgrade
A confession to make: We like dynasties. We don't like them because it's fun to watch one team win everything, because it isn't. We like them because they provide clear, distinct rooting interests and fault lines. The Patriots always beat the Colts, Peyton Manning can't figure out the Patriots, one ...
