Brown Bag it, Baby
It’s that time of year! You know it’s not officially football season until Doc Brown’s Sports Almanac picks are released. To refresh your memory, last NFL season I served as the handicapper at AOL Sports’ FanHouse, picking 3 …
Tony Stewart gave a pretty R-rated interview to Rolling Stone that Deadspin was kind enough to bring to my attention. I’ve already expressed my thoughts on Tony Stewart and his badass ways, so no surprise he was pretty revealing with Rolling …
No noise was made about Floyd Mayweather Jr. getting robbed a few weeks ago, probably because hardly anyone knew about it. We’re now finding out about the robbery because Mayweather’s declared there will be a $100,000 reward for anyone …
I’m not sure whether or not I should laugh at this story or shake my head at how immature Tatum Bell comes off to be, but it sure seems to be the trend lately. After the Bengals released Rudi Johnson this weekend, the Lions worked him out on …
I wouldn’t exactly say this was the same thing as the Saints beating the Falcons in their Monday night opener after Katrina a few years ago, but the energy and thought of something “new” made the UCLA win over Tennessee pretty sweet …
Channeling the true spirit of Deion Sanders, Pacman Jones could wind up playing some wide receiver for the Cowboys. Jerry Jones first floated the idea of Pacman doubling up and going both ways, and it’s something Wade Phillips apparently did …
There’s a reason Ozzie Guillen’s a two-time Hall of Famer here at LBS, and comments like this one are helping his case for a bronze statue as well. Keep in mind that Ozzie Guillen was complimenting Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia …
I guess when you’re 15,000 feet away, football fields can look pretty similar. Will Brinson at FanHouse brings us the video of a pre-game stunt gone wrong. The man in the video was supposed to be skydiving into the stadium at Chapel Hill, not …
Count me as one of the people who believes the December fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao is a farce. I’m never going to knock Oscar for the simple fact that he fights everyone and anyone, bringing the fans the match ups they …
Major props to Rick at Deadspin for uncovering and sharing a sportscast delivered by Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, back when she was an anchor in Alaska, under the name Sarah Heath. Check out the video: No surprise, merely hours …
I just don’t even know what to do with this. I’m not so sure that the outcome of a sporting event really impacted my life to great levels for longer than like an hour, but I know there are some who live and die with each win or loss. It …
Not too surprising for a coke head. I’m not sure about the extent of Jones’ ignorance towards the team’s playbook, but the words come from a pretty reliable source — John Madden via the fine folks of Rotoworld. As the top …
The headline is self explanatory. Umph, that musta hurt. Kid was probably mortified afterwards, not to mention Mike Pelfrey who had the misfortune of being there for it. Much like Jake Brown, the kid somehow walked away from the accident. The best …
Shawn Johnson did not make the All-Hottest Olympians at Beijing Team. Does that deserve a do-over? Shawn Johnson and Nastia Luikin in bikins [Egotastic] via the legendary SpinMax Shawn Johnson talks about her taco [Sports by Brooks] Stephen A. Smith …
Nobody ever accused Yankees GM Brian Cashman of deflecting blame; he’s always been a stand up guy. There was the time in Buster Olney’s book where it’s said Cashman wanted to sign Vlad but Steinbrenner insisted upon Sheffield, but …
I was watching Jim Rome Is Burning Thursday and noticed a familiar guest on the program — Rays pitcher Scott Kazmir — a guy who has been on Jim’s show the last few years. Thing is, every time in the past that Kazmir’s been on, …
