Brown Bag it, Baby
Matt Bush has really turned himself into a first-class laughing stock. Here’s the deal: if you’re a former first-round bust but you do it quietly like Tim Couch or Brian Bullington, you’re not going to catch much crap. But if …
So here I thought Travis Henry and his 11 kids by nine women was bad, and now I find out that Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie is hot on his trail. A nice Sunday feature on Cromartie in the San Diego Union-Tribune talks about all the work he’s …
OK, I know it’s sad and all that we’ve had nothing but unexpected deaths in the sports world lately, and ones caused by women, but I have questions. Namely, how is it that one of the toughest boxers in the history of the sport can …
The fans on hand at the Mandalay Bay were chanting for referee Herb Dean to stand Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir up once they hit the canvas. He never did because Lesnar started going to work after fighting for position for about 20 seconds. And once …
You know, I’ve never been one of those open casket types. Once someone’s gone, that’s it for me — I don’t want to remember them lying in a casket, completely lifeless. But I guess like most things, I’m in the …
Baseball players will do just about anything to turn their fortunes. Jason Giambi used to wear a gold thong for good luck, Jeff Francoeur didn’t change his boxers, and many players like screwing with their facial hair. We’ve seen Eric …
Mark this down as a “first” for Joel Hanrahan to be mentioned here at LBS. Maybe if he did a white olympics video we’d have reason to write about him other than this. Anyway, the Nats and Astros continued a game on Thursday evening …
Unfortunately this is not the first time we’ve been down the Martellus Bennett composing controversial YouTube videos road. I can’t believe how dumb Martellus is. What sane person in the public eye, open to media scrutiny, would actually …
If you’re familiar with LBS, you are well-aware of our (read: my) affinity for Ozzie Guillen quotes. What can I say? The guy’s a priceless Hall of Famer who keeps me in business. Well Ozzie certainly brought his A-Game to the yard when …
I saw the above photoshop job over at Mouthpiece Sports and just couldn’t resist posting it. Of course that picture is a response to the story that Nike officials bullied a camera guy to take away his tape after he recorded LeBron James getting …
MLB’s attitude towards steroids is very similar to that of Manny Ramirez (who said he didn’t owe the fans an explanation for his suspension) — we’re above you and we don’t have to be accountable. When you’re …
Oh, those sneaky Giants fans and their creative ways to get their players into the All-Star Game. A couple years ago, they created a computer program that would vote for Barry Bonds thousands of times to get him into the game. This year, it’s …
When police said Saturday night that they weren’t looking for any suspects and that they were confident they’d have a conclusion after the autopsy, I had a pretty good idea that the Steve McNair/Sahel Kazemi case was a murder-suicide. …
This NBA offseason, more than any other that I can remember, has solidified the notion that only a handful of teams are competing for the championship. For the most part, it’s the Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets, Celtics, Cavs, Magic, and everyone else …
It’s a yearly tradition unlike any other — the obligatory fans suck at voting and so do the players and managers so here I am to help everyone out — MLB All-Star Game snubs post. I mean, if we can’t figure out All-Star voting …
Maybe it’s the nature of our society to be critical and look for the negative angle in stories, but on the day that Roger Federer became the first player to win 15 majors, the critics already began chirping. How can Roger be the greatest when …
