Brown Bag it, Baby
As much as Mark McGwire tries to stay out of the spotlight — for which he’s done a damn good job — he’s been in the news quite a bit lately. First Deadspin caught some sections of the book Jay McGwire has written that details …
UPDATE: Many more Monta Ellis tattoo pics below I was pretty excited to watch the Cavs/Warriors game Friday night for several reasons. For one, the back end of the ESPN Friday night double-header was the Winter X Games. Secondly, the Clippers/Thunder …
I’m well aware of how wacky fan voting for All-Star games can get. We had Giants fans using online programs to vote Barry Bonds into the All-Star Game. There was a movement to get scrub Rory Fitzpatrick into the NHL game a few years ago. The …
With the NBA trending towards the “what have you done for me lately” attitude towards coaches, it was only a matter of time before the Memphis Grizzlies fired Marc Iavaroni. And according to TNT’s David Aldridge, who got the …
Once teammates in San Francisco from ’97-’02, Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds will be forever linked. The two formed a powerful duo in the heart of the Giants order for several years, leading San Francisco into the World Series in ’02 …
Here’s one thing we haven’t had enough of: Tom Brady. Even when he was the star of the league, we saw much less of him than Peyton Manning, and most of it is Brady’s own doing. For us football fans, hearing Brady’s voice on …
I’m sure you’ve all been to games where they have promotions that are game-related, not just based on completely random draws. For instance, the team scores 100 or more points in a basketball game, everyone gets tacos. A home run is hit …
After hearing from Dominic Raiola of the Lions, I really started to ease up on them down the stretch hoping they’d win a game. Naturally it didn’t happen and they have gone down as the first 0-16 team in NFL history. Things really got …
The big news of the day in the world of baseball — outside of the surprise that Jonathan Papelbon didn’t take the Red Sox to arbitration — was Ryan Howard’s submitted salary for the arbitration process. Howard has asked for an …
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last thing the Dallas Cowboys need is a big personality on their team and in their locker room. Granted, at least adding Ray Lewis would bring some positives in terms of building a “team,” but how …
The Cardinals have been running flea flickers all season and have had tremendous success with it. They’ve used it in the playoffs to their advantage, scoring a touchdown against the Falcons and also the Eagles. The one in the NFC Championship …
I’ve heard of guys getting their behinds tatted to win a bet or whatnot — Justin Miller and Billy Koch being the prime example — but that’s something I could never really grasp. Tattoos in general, much less to commemorate …
I’ve grown increasingly worried about the health of Eagles coach Andy Reid the past month. Every single weekend I listen on his post game press conferences and the man has more and more difficulty getting through the task. I’m not sure if …
If you’re a Saints fan at least you can be happy that you have one side of the ball taken care of. Problem is, that side of the ball’s been fine since Drew Brees came to town; it’s the defense that stinks. The Saints fired their …
Something about Willis McGahee getting injured in big games and Ryan Clark delivering big hits. We knew going into the game at Heinz Field that this AFC Championship Game would be a hard-hitting battle, and it proved to be one. In fact, with under …
It’s crazy the way things work. Just two nights ago I was having a conversation regarding LeBron James’ physique and athletic ability. Knowing that he was an All-State wide receiver in high school, I said LeBron would be an All-Pro if he …
