About a year ago, man-bander Nick Lachey became an owner of a minor league baseball team called the Tacoma Rainiers. That’s cool to me, because the dude can probably pour a little bit of cash into the organization should the need arise. What I …
This is why you must be on the look out for everything … head on a swivel, head on a swivel, head on a swivel … Yes, that was from Sunday night’s Steelers/Eagles game. I know they don’t do it full time, but I sure hope the …
When you parents tuck your kids in at night, I’m sure you have wishes for them to be outstanding people when they grow up. You want them to have the honesty of Lincoln, the work ethic of Ripken, the knowledge of Einstein. Probably not on that …

It’s not often that an absolute gem of a story just drops in our laps like this one, so we must act accordingly. We have a nice little anecdote from Mickey Mantle suggesting he had some fun with the ladies. Big surprise right? Of course not. …
You figure the head coach of one the most successful college football programs in the country probably spends his practices imparting the wisdom of his predecessors. You would think he’d be barking out coaching methods from Tom Landry and Bear …
Commenter SpinMax emails in with this story about Travis Henry, who apparently is giving Shawn Kemp a run for his money as the newest punchline when it comes to fathering kids out of wedlock. As you read in the headline, Henry has fathered nine kids …
I’ve always been partial to David Boston because I had him on my fantasy team back in ’01 and because the guy has his stool samples analyzed during training camp. That’s gotta count for something right? Well, you knew he was a …
I’ve heard a lot of unusual comparisons before in my life, but I’ve never heard one as hard to imagine as this one is. New Titans receiver Eric Moulds who I’m advised by ESPN’s fantasy football preview has the best hands in …
Alright, we can all pretty much agree that what Michael Vick is alleged to have done is pretty bad. But if anyone would stick up for him, you would at least figure it would be his family, right? Wrong. Vick’s dad, who’s been described as …

I guess dropping about 50 lbs gives you the right to talk as much trash as you want. Then again, when your name’s Warren Sapp, you probably feel like you already have that privilege, because the 34-year-old fossil can still dish some ish better …
I was pretty incensed when the NBA was talking about fining Mark Cuban because of what he said about Michael Finley. To me, it just seemed like they were going entirely overboard. Well, this latest story, that the Sonics co-owner will be fined …
MJD had an outstanding Debriefing column on Wednesday. It was about fantasy do’s and don’ts. I’ve been a huge fantasy sports guy for quite some time, thus I’m generally a fan of such lists. Matt Berry back in the day had some …
