Brown Bag it, Baby
Probably the funniest thing I’ve heard about Pacman Jones recently came from my buddy Ben Maller who said it’s like a cartoon — one of those black clouds must follow Pacman around. How does he get into so much trouble? Well, …
I’m not even going to ask if someone can knock him off. I wonder if someone will even take a set from him. That’s going to be the real challenge. On Day 1 at Wimbledon, Roger advanced in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. That’s almost …
Nueva Chicago and Tigre — like I know WTF that means — were trying to play some soccer when … a riot broke out. This isn’t just any riot either; it’s a riot to end all riots. Gang bangers, anarchists, inmates, take note: …
Cubbies were up 8-3 going into the 9th. Which is like most other teams nursing a one-run lead. As you might have guessed, they gave up three runs before Troy Tulowitzki cracked a 3-run home run off Bobby Howry, giving the Rockies the 9-8 lead, much …

I assume that most of you who are reading this are pretty hard core sports fans just like me. Probably somewhere along the line you had a dream of working in sports, that is, if you couldn’t make it as an athlete. With that in mind, I had a …
It’s a rumor I posted at FanHouse, based on the suck(up) job he gave the city of San Francisco in some recent comments. What sucks is that the more he puffs these towns up, the more it increases the likelihood they’ll open up the vault …
Count me in. I am a sucker. And a believer. After watching Hingis fight back from a pair of match points to win her first round match in three sets, I realized how much I miss seeing her on my TV. And how much I’ll enjoy seeing her again in her …
At least that’s what Robby Gordon thinks. No, don’t get it twisted, I’m not a fan of motorsports, but I sure enjoy a good storyline. And Robby Gordon — he of three career wins — calling Juan Pablo Montoya’s win at …
Beck happens to be one of the more successful athletes to have graduated from my high school. That in no way brings me anywhere closer to him, it just reminds me that he was a kid from the San Fernando Valley who went to Grant High School in Van Nuys …
On the cusp of free agency to be followed by millions upon millions of dollars, Andruw Jones is struggling through a crappy season. No matter, Braves GM John Schuerholz is already preparing for life without Andruw. Asked if he could imagine the …
I may be making a return to the diamond … Israeli baseball debuts [Lion in Oil] Maria Sharapova digs chicks with large racks [SPORTSbyBROOKS] Oregon St. had a losing record in conference, still won the CWS [The Big Picture] Megan Fox‘s …
See, I just can’t help myself when I read comments like this. Not to discourage the Detroit Lions or anything, but I just don’t have a lot of confidence in them. And this isn’t the first time a Lion got carried away — Roy …
Nothing like one veteran team leader calling a fellow veteran team leader a pussy in so many words. That’s basically what’s going on in Atlanta, if you can read between the lines of John Smoltz’s recent remarks. The stud pitcher, …
When it comes to football player arrests, this one might actually take the cake. Not that I even know what taking the cake means, but I guess people like that expression. Anywhoo, 23-year-old hardly used Dolphins defensive lineman Frederick Evans …
Remember when Tank met with Commissioner Goodell to be punished for all his misbehavior during the NFL season? Johnson ended up being suspended for eight games, with the possibility of the sentence being cut to six games for good behavior. Prior to …
