NBA Player Uses Alias ‘Sponge Bob Square Pants’ at Hotels

The USA Basketball team is now in Beijing getting ready for Olympics tuneups. Before that though, they were in Las Vegas practicing and whatnot. Though this note is a little old at this point, it’s a goodie. It comes to us from the Las Vegas …

Memo to P.R. Reps: Newspapers Ads in Player’s Former Hometown Is a Bad Idea

I first broached this topic last year when Eric Gagne spurned the Dodgers to sign with the Rangers for a few extra million dollars. Even though he left the Dodgers and their fans high and dry — a year after taking a full season’s salary …

Jason Giambi Says Eff You to the Shift

Jason Giambi’s a colorful player, to say the least. It’s stories like his slump-busting golden thong and his lucky porn stache that endears him to the fans (and probably what gets him off the steroids hook in the eye of the public). …

Dodgers Need to Trade Andruw Jones

***This is a special farce written by site contributor Alex Ubeda*** After being benched for three days in a row, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andruw Jones and his agent Scott Boras asked for a trade and the Dodgers responded. The Dodgers are …

Great Day to Be an Angels Fan

The double-coup the Angels pulled on Tuesday was easily one of the peaks of the baseball season. First, things got exciting when reports in the morning said the Angels were warming to the idea of acquiring Mark Teixeira from the Braves. Later in the …

Gilbert Arenas Is Making Good Use of His New Contract

OK, so I realize that Gil was talking about building a replica of the Playboy Mansion pool at his house before signing his new deal, but it just makes it more fun to say it this way. Anyway, DC Sports Bog was able to snag some photos of Gil’s …

Dodgers Holding Joe Beimel Bobblehead Giveaway Night

Alright, so I was watching the Dodger game the other night when a particular giveaway night they were promoting caught my attention. Just like every other team in MLB, the Dodgers do the whole Fireworks Night, back to school lunch bag giveaway, hat …

10 Worst Deadline Deals of the Decade

Note: This is something I posted two years ago at my blog on Fox Sports before I had started this site. Since I put so much time into it, I felt it was worth sharing here (and I’ve copied and pasted word-for-word). In light of the upcoming …

Kordell Stewart Wants Back in the NFL

Kordell Stewart appeared on ESPNEWS as an analyst Monday. I’m not sure if this is a new role for him or if he’s just doing an appearance or two, but it didn’t take Slash long to use the opportunity to hop on the soap box. Sure, he …

So That Madonna’s Looking Pretty Hot

I’ve already touched on Alex Rodriguez’s pretty crappy taste in women. Just in case you had some vision of Madonna looking hot and sexy from one of her 80s music videos, let me give you a taste of what she looks like now. Honestly A-Rod, …

Could Manny Wind Up a Yankee?

For some reason all the talk out of Boston over the weekend revolved around Manny. I guess it sort of started when he pushed the traveling secretary for the team and had the matter “handled internally” by the organization. Since then, he …

Video: Tony Stewart Goes Nuts on USAC Racing Officials

I’ve already expressed my feelings on Tony Stewart before. It’s no surprise that I’m a fan; the guy always speaks his mind and doesn’t back down to anyone or anything. What’s there not to like about him? Well, maybe …

Bust Matt Bush Busted at Bar, Again

If this story looks familiar to you, it’s because we went through this whole thing four years ago. Matt Bush was the No. 1 overall selection in the 2004 MLB draft. The Padres took the local product ahead of top talents who have already produced …

Randy Moss’ Daughter Is a Baller

Following in the tradition of many professional athletes, Randy Moss’ offspring is apparently quite talented. The Louisville Courier-Journal has the story of Sydney Moss, Randy’s 14-year-old daughter, who despite her youth has already …

Europe Will Never Threaten the NBA

I know the word “never” sounds pretty absolute, but I’m extremely confident that the European game won’t threaten the health of the NBA. Sure Brandon Jennings electing to play pro ball in Italy instead of going to college at …

So Jeff Samardzija Throws Pretty Hard

To understand how I feel about Jeff Samardzija, all you need to know about is one play. Does 20-17 say enough to you? In case it doesn’t, here’s a refresher. Anyway, it’s pretty incredible to see the guy go from balling on the …
