Brian Urlacher Deplenished Of $100 Grand Worth Of Fluid
OK, so we'll say it: We don't find Gatorade the slightest bit replenishing. We think it mostly tastes like urine distilled through a coffee machine, but that's less to the point; when we work out, the last thing we want is a sugary thick beverage. We're working out to lose calories; why would we wan...
Finally, The Playoffs Are Set
You know, for a regular season that, all told, was rather lackluster, the NBA first-round playoff matchups look rather compelling. The Raptors-Vince Carter reunion is self-explanatory, but we also have Kobe against the Suns again, the Spurs against Carmelo and Iverson, a truly solid and evenly match...
The NBA Season Finally Comes To A Close
Tonight's the last night of the NBA regular season — it's only been going on since freaking October — and we say goodbye to a rather limp sked we're hoping will be redeemed by the playoffs. Up for grabs tonight? That last playoff spot in the West — which the Clippers appears to have given up on — an...
Marathon Man
Tim Gorman, a correspondent for the Boston Globe (read: unemployed writer), decided to conduct a social experiment and run the Boston Marathon dressed as a Yankees fan. This could have ended very badly, but didn't, thank heavens. There was this, however:...
How Virginia Tech Touched Our Little World Here
As you've surely noticed, we haven't gone into the Virginia Tech horrors too much around these parts; we felt we had nothing we could possibly add to something so unfathomable. But there are still ways the tragedy has touched our little world over here....
LT Says "No Thank You" To Madden
So, you know how Vince Young is on the cover of Madden 08, and how Chargers fans breathed deep sighs of relief? Well, according to Darren Rovell at CNBC, LaDainian Tomlinson was supposed to be the cover boy but turned it down....
Beer That Makes You SKINNY!
During the NHL Playoffs, your fans need to bust out the big guns if they're going to appropriately cheer your team onto victory. Your normal selection of Molson and elk bile isn't gonna do it; you're gonna need to start chugging the heroin beer....
Begin Preparing For The Vince Young Injury
ESPN Video Games had him at 12-1 odds, but Nashville City Paper is reporting that Vince Young will be on the cover of Madden 2008. This is awful news for Titans fans, of course, who have had enough experience with the Madden Curse — Eddie George was Patient Zero of this little game — to be awfully w...
Versus Still Working Out The Kinks
Late Wednesday night/Thursday morning, the Dallas Stars and Vancouver Canucks were in the midst of a four-overtime marathon game. Henrik Sedin took a pass from his brother Daniel, aimed to get a shot past Dallas goalie Marty Turco, and hey, could I interest you in the Winsor Pilates total body fitne...
Meet My Least Favorite Former Mets Minor Leaguer
Unless you were a huge fan of the "Man on Street" character so craftily portrayed in "What Women Want," you've probably never heard of Joe Petcka. He was drafted by the Mets in 1992, and knocked around the minor leagues before giving up baseball and taking up acting. And cat-beating....
Pretty Good. Prettaaaaay, Prettaaaaay, Pretty Good.
So you know the gruesome Jets draft video from yesterday? Well, to make sure the Jets have no more draft disasters, they're bringing in the big guns ... they're bringing in Larry David....
Folks, Do We Ever Have The Job For You
A few months ago, we told how our old friend Carl Monday was taking on a new gig with a new station. Well, he's fortifying for his investigations; he's hiring an assistant, and that assistant could be you....
Welcome To The Island Of Doomed Men
The NFL Draft is just more than two weeks away, and because we're slowly warming ourselves up to the prospect of watching Chris Berman read names off a Teleprompter for six hours, we thought we'd bring back one of our favorite videos, which pops up around this time every year....
NHL Western Conference Playoff Pants Party
OK, here's the second half of copyranter's NHL Playoff preview. We still haven't figured out what channel most of these games are on, by the way....
Fun With Facial Hair!
One of our favorite subplots of every NHL playoffs slate is the growing of a playoff beard. Because we didn't start puberty until we were 26, we still cannot grow a beard — honestly, we're barely a mammal — so we look at the tradition with envy. A solid playoff beard can foster team unity or, in a p...
NHL Eastern Conference Playoff Pants Party
Now that you have your playoff beards and your Molson, you should be ready for some NHL Stanley Cup Playoff action. One of the reasons we love the NHL Playoffs is that it's possible for games to last eight hours. At the end, everyone dies. Fun to watch....
