Brown Bag it, Baby
Weird title, but allow me to explain. Word came out Sunday afternoon that an MRI on Angels pitcher Ervin Santana’s elbow revealed a strained MCL. As a response, the Angels are shutting Santana down for the time being and they’re going to …
In case your March Madness brackets turn out to suck like mine usually do, I’m giving you the chance to get something else right instead (and win some swag too). We’re running an LBS conference tourney picks pool here, presented by No …
You already got a taste of what a fraud I think the World Baseball Classic is based on my criticism of ESPN for continuing to use A-Rod to promote the WBC in commercials. In that vain, I’m still wondering what the point of this entire event is. …
Considering no NFL teams have shown interest in him, I’m surprised Pacman Jones hasn’t gone back to TNA wrestling for a second spin as “The Lap Dance Man.” Maybe the paychecks doing the turnbuckle thing weren’t quite …
All that nonsense about having confidence in Scott Boras to get a deal done was apparently rubbish. Just like I said here about a month ago, Manny was telling Albert Pujols that nobody wanted to sign him. Truth is, he really was worried. From …
So Tony Mandarich has come clean on his use of steroids back when he played for Michigan State. The use of the roids allowed him to beef up, become super-human, and get drafted second overall by the Green Bay Packers in ’89. Mandarich has …
I doubt this bill actually gets passed because it’s pretty outrageous. Nonetheless, it’s worth pointing out what’s floating around out there. There’s a proposed bill in North Carolina that would end athletics in high schools …
What do you do when you’re 38, rich, beloved in a city, and unemployed? Well, you do what any other man would do — you host a stripper pole dancing party! That’s what Jim Edmonds is up to, as Deadspin notified us. Check out this …
Word came down late Wednesday night, and kudos to the boys at ESPN for picking this one up, that Terrell Owens would be released by the Cowboys. I guess it’s fair to say that Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Jason Garrett, Roy Williams, et al won the …
In these harsh economic times, not only should cuts be reflected in the amount of money players are being paid and the revenue a club generates, but first and foremost, ticket prices. Apparently the Minnesota Timberwolves have the right idea, and for …
When I first called for the Cardinals to stop screwing around and get Kurt Warner signed already, we joked around that the lord had told him he deserved a raise and that he should use the 49ers for leverage. Well, turns out we weren’t too far …
It was a true pleasure to watch the Suns and Magic battle on Tuesday night and see Orlando’s original Superman go up against the Magic’s new Superman. Even at this age, Shaq can still out-muscle anyone in the paint just because of his …
It’s too bad I wasn’t unleashed on this Earth until Straw’s rookie season because from what I’ve been told, he was a pretty darn good ballplayer. By the time I began to understand anything about anything, Strawberry was just a …
I think it’s been pretty firmly established that the Patriots, especially under Bill Belichick, are one of the shrewdest organizations in the NFL. They’ve been known to pull off great deals and bring players in for below market value. …
For a guy who hasn’t pitched in over a year, Curt Schilling still manages to keep his name in the news like Britney Spears making a comeback album. Perhaps it’s because he keeps his own blog — 38 Pitches — and because he would …
Man, a lot happened in just like two days. Michael Curry finally announced (about effing time!) that Allen Iverson would be coming off the bench and that Rip Hamilton would finally be back in the starting lineup (after Hamilton initiated the …
