Jason Giambi’s Slump-Breaking Thong

Roids, HGH, non-apology apologies aside, this is what makes Jason Giambi a fun guy. In a recent interview with Portfolio, Jason Giambi said that he wears a Golden Thong whenever he needs to break out of a slump: The deepest, darkest secret harbored …

Jets Flip Coin to Determine Quarterback

That’s how you know you’re in bad shape. In a perfect world, your starting quarterback is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning and you don’t have to worry about any competitions. But the reality for most NFL teams is that they’re …

Woody Paige Goes Off on Tony Reali

Much like AA described in his post on the matter, I cannot stand Around the Horn. Just like him, I can’t stand the format, I further loathe the guests, and I find almost nothing redeeming about the show. Like I really want or need to hear the …

Barry Bonds Now Starring in Rap Videos

Since nobody’s interested in picking up the slugger, he’s gotta figure out new ways to occupy his time. Apparently Baroid has figured out what to do in between curls at the gym and hacks at the cages. As AJ mentioned at Deadspin, …

Ken Griffey Jr. Quite the Penny Pincher

Baseball pranks certainly provide tremendous entertainment and help lighten the mood especially when your team’s struggling. One of my favorites was when Jarrod Washburn brought an ostrich into the Angels’ clubhouse and scared the …

Your 2008 Orioles: Where Magic Happens

You have to figure that pretty much anything is fair game when Kevin Millar’s on your team. Mr. Cowboy Up was no doubt a part of this music video the Orioles filmed to promote the team for the upcoming season. An excellent find that Jimmy at SI …

Ricky’s Surprised Parcells Kept Him

And so am I. Remember the tough time Parcells was giving Jason Taylor, according to reports? We were told that when Taylor took his break from Dancing with the Stars, he went to Miami to check in on the team. Parcells supposedly gave him the cold …

There’s Nobody Like Manny

He is just one of those once-in-a-generation players that we are lucky to have playing while we’re all fans. There’s nobody like him, and there probably won’t be anyone similar to him at any point in the future. From pointing to the …

Greatest Sports Collectible Ever?

I saw this little item in Sports Illustrated a few weeks ago and thought that it might just be the perfect addition to any serious sports fan’s memorabilia collection: Not unlike the Patriots version of the Perfectville commercial, this is what …

Tom Brady Critical of ESPN on Spygate

Tom Brady was on WEEI for an interview recently and was pretty candid speaking about a number of topics. He addressed Spygate, whether or not the erroneous Boston Herald report bothered the Patriots (the Herald actually did apologize), his thoughts …

Boston Herald Finally Apologizes to Pats

I firmly criticized the Boston Herald for the timing of their Patriots taping the Rams walk-through story the day before the Super Bowl and called their actions evil. After word from Commissioner Goodell came out saying no such tape existed, I …

Florida State Baseball Makes a Mockery

Don’t know how many people saw this story since it is kind of an oddity, but Florida State baseball player Buster Posey played all nine positions in one game Monday night. At first I thought it was pretty cool when I saw the headline, but then …

Dan Majerle: No as Suns Head Coach, Yes as Assistant

With the news of Mike D’Antoni (no apostrophe necessary) going to the Knicks, that leaves the Suns with a nice big vacancy at their head coaching position. Veterans like Rick Carlisle, Scott Skiles, and my buddy LB are off the board, so …

LeBron Puts His Mom in Check

If you saw Game 4 last night between the Cavs and Celtics, you surely remember the play where Paul Pierce bear-hugged LeBron James to keep him from scoring. If you haven’t, this video will get you up to speed. And even if you have, keep in mind …

Kobe the Only Injured Player in the NBA

If you ever wanted to know the deep-down reasons behind my disgust of one Kobe Bryant, you don’t need to look any farther than this very post (wearing sunglasses to his “going pro” announcement in high school would do the trick, …

Tighten up that Entourage, OJ Mayo

I’ve already made it pretty clear that I can’t stand OJ Mayo for some of his on-court antics. I also said the NCAA was right to investigate him for accepting tickets to an NBA game because that came to close to crossing the line for …
