Brown Bag it, Baby
Yes, it’s true. At least according to YES Network broadcaster, David Cone: I have heard of relievers banging chicks from the stands in the clubhouse while the game was going on, and I’ve heard of relievers jerking themselves off while …
You know, this whole concept wouldn’t surprise me. Just think about the sheer basics here: agents make money off their clients, clients get more money if they produce more on the field, steroids increase production, agent refers player to …
Last month I was uber-skeptical of Brett Favre’s sudden, unexpected retirement. Sure, he had contemplated it the past few seasons, but coming off the great year he had and near Super Bowl berth, what possessed him to retire? I wondered if it …
The NHL has a tough enough time trying to grace the pages here at LBS. If the NHL is low on the totem pole, then collegiate hockey is so far down on the agenda it’s shining NHL shoes. But when one of the members of Notre Dame’s hockey …
Commenter JS emails in with the most intriguing proposition. As a Bears fan, he suggested to me, a Bengals fan, that the teams swap problems and trade Brian Urlacher for Chad Johnson. Honestly, upon further review, Urlacher for Ocho Cinco could be …
Talk about an eye-catching headline. I didn’t even need to know who Aaron Fike was to be drawn to that story. ESPN the Magazine tells the tale of NASCAR truck series driver Aaron Fike — a dude I never had heard of — who is currently …
The LA Times reports that both Kevin Love and Darren Collison plan to enter the NBA draft, an announcement I expect to come officially from Ben Howland sometime today. I can’t say I’m too surprised that Love is going. It was said that …

There’s no better time to leave college for the pros than after you’ve won the National Championship game. That is, unless you’re the Florida Gators and you can all return and win back-to-back titles (but cost yourself a few slots …
I remember looking at the photos online when I was getting prepared to purchase my Final Four tickets for the trip I wound up not taking. I automatically ruled out certain sections based on the charts I saw. Now I know why. We have visual photo …
Amongst other issues. That was quite the final eight minutes (including the OT). First off, much props are inline for Jason, the co-founder of the excellent sports/fan networking site Ballhype, who easily won the LBS March Madness Pool by being the …
I would consider myself quite a practical-minded fan; I’m involved and interested, yet tempered in my levels of fanaticism and enthusiasm. I don’t throw stuff when my team loses, nor do I let it ruin my day, week, or year, nor let it …
I love of it when players get mysterious injuries or ailments that disappear suddenly. Like honestly, are there that many 24-hour stomach bugs or 24-hour flus going around athlete circles that seem to skip the rest of the population? And everyone …
We already knew that baseball players sustained some odd injuries. Aaron Rowand got hurt playing tag, Raul Ibanez injured himself while sleeping, and some chick even got attacked by a bird while touring Fenway Pahk. No surprise then to hear how Rays …
I remember last year when the same thing happened with Jason Schmidt. Schmitty was signed by the Dodgers’ to be their ace, but he was slated as the team’s No. 3 to begin the year in order to to avoid facing San Francisco in the opening …
Two notes: One, I blocked out my frequent flyer number — don’t need you all tooling around the country on my account. Two, the only reason I didn’t have a flight scheduled for Friday or Saturday is because I was scheduled to work …
