Brown Bag it, Baby
While three of the four division round playoff series went the maximum five games, the Texas Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in four games. Their offense put up eight runs in Game 2, and their pitching shut it down the next two. If they seemed …
Wondering what David Eckstein is up to these days? America’s favorite symbol for an athlete overachieving, and FJM’s favorite symbol for the media glorifying an athlete, is now narrating children’s books (in App form!). The OC …
Prior to Game 4 of the NLDS between the Diamondbacks and Brewers in Arizona, blind man Max Ashton threw out the first pitch. The young man threw a perfect strike too, doing a better job than many other folks who attempt to throw out the first pitch. …
If you didn’t find the new Miami Vice-themed Marlins logo to be bad enough, this will almost assuredly make you throw up. The Marlins will join the likes of the Mets, Brewers, Astros, and Angels by having a tradition after their team hits home …
Kobe Bryant spoke with a psychology class at UCSB this week. While he was there, he answered many questions from the audience. The story that is getting the most attention is one Kobe shared about his former teammate, Kwame Brown. Kobe was talking …
LaMichael James may be my new favorite player in college football. The Oregon running back went for 239 yards on 30 carries Thursday night in a 43-15 win over Cal. It marked his third straight 200-yard game, but that’s not the part that left us …
If you’re wondering why baseball is not as popular as it used to be, it’s because they allow nonsense like this to go on: Honestly, Joe Girardi? You made Joaquin Benoit remove a bandage from his face because it was large and too much of a …
Earlier this week, we showed you a picture of the throwback jerseys Oregon planned to wear against Cal Thursday night. The Ducks wore ’em and wrecked Cal, as you may have expected. The cool thing about those jerseys was that they had the Donald …
I used to be one of those people that defended A-Rod for his playoff struggles. “Too small of a sample size,” I would say, in response to people who judged him too harshly for his October failures. Or “What about what he did in 2000 …
We’ve seen plenty of players go undercover as store workers recently. We had Dwyane Wade work at a sporting goods store as “Gordon the nerd,” and then Danny Woodhead tried to sell his owner jersey at a store. Both were pretty funny, …
Michigan star quarterback Denard Robinson joined Twitter not long ago, and it’s proving to be a decision he may regret. His account (@denardx) has been suspended after he was apparently hacked by an ex-girlfriend. Here are some of the tweets …
Jim Leyland had a routine pre-game press conference Thursday leading up to Game 5 between the Tigers and Yankees. He was asked by a reporter if he arrived at the ballpark early for the game. Apparently that was a reference to a previous occasion when …
Ron Artest will do almost anything for attention, and that includes faking news about the lockout being over. The Lakers forward has long expressed a desire to try out different sports when he’s done playing basketball. He said last year that …
Jason Witten and Tony Romo are pretty tight, so we’ve heard. The two may have to welcome a third man into their circle after receiving unsolicited support earlier in the week. Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki tweeted some words of …
Anyone who follows New England Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco on Twitter will realize that the typically prolific social media maven has been inactive the last several days. In fact, Ocho hasn’t tweeted since September 24th. For a guy …
I’ll tell you something I’ll bet you didn’t know: the WNBA is in the middle of its finals right now. Not even joking. The mandatory WNBA headline on NBA.com must have failed us because I had no clue. Anyway, Cheryl Reeve’s …
