In The NBA, One Player Makes All The Difference

Yesterday morning, the Celtics were the laughingstock of the NBA, a maybe playoff team, even in the horrid East. Today, because of this supposed deal for Kevin Garnett, they're a serious threat. They're a championship contender. They're "maybe the...

Bill Walsh: 1931-2007

We don't typically like to talk about death, here. This is through no cold-heartedness -- it's just a sensitive subject, and in the year-plus we've been working on this site, there hasn't been a death incredibly close to us;...

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year....

The time between the NFL Draft and the beginning of training camps is excruciating for me. For three months, I scrounge for any possible pigskin crumbs -- this year it began in May, when I downloaded the Saints' entire...

Arbitration Hurts Feelings

If you're a hockey player going to arbitration, you're going to need to brush up on your Daily Affirmations. It's a tough, tough process -- players do their best to convince an arbitrator of all the ways he contributes...

Ugggghhhh....

Just imagining what might have happened to this dog just minutes after this picture was taken makes me want to destroy Mike Vick with every fiber I have. Go to PETA's website to send a letter to Roger Goodell....

David Stern Terrifies Me

We haven't commented on the plight of NBA referee Tim Donaghy, the subject of the most obvious breaking story (people WITHIN sports are gambling on games?! gasp!) since word came down that Tom Brady likes to impregnate many beautiful...

Mike Vick Indicted; In Other News, He Still Sucks

So the news came down yesterday -- Mike Vick was indicted on seven counts of "being a disgusting, cruel, murderous cunt who knowingly spreads herpes and doesn't know how to travel with weed properly." Oh, also, the dog fighting...

We'll Miss You, Julio

Sad news out of Queens, as Julio Franco has been designated for assignment, effectively ending his stint with the Mets and possibly his career. Franco, weeks before his 49th birthday and with a goal to inexplicably play until 50,...

Who Will Be the Mets Hitting Coach?

It was announced yesterday that Rick Down is out as Mets hitting coach. Rickey Henderson is in as a coach. However, he has not been announced as hitting coach yet. And I don't think he will. Rickey Henderson was...

OU Just Got Eternal Sunshined

Looks like the NCAA got into the business of mind erasing. In 2005, a couple of Oklahoma football players, including then quarterback Rhett Bomar, were getting paid for working at a car dealership they didn't actually work at. Basically,...

You Got Served: Peyton Manning

We're back from our vacation, and it doesn't appear as if we missed much. The Home Run Derby is still meaningless, it's still not football season, and the ongoing drama surrounding Darko and Easy Yi's future destinations remains as...

Buona Notte, NFL Europa

NFL Europa, we hardly knew thee. The NFL's overseas daughter-league is dead, and no one cares. In fact, I believe more people care about the league's demise in America, where we have the real thing, than Europa's abroad target...
