Brown Bag it, Baby
Ron Artest is one of those people who you can never seem to get a read on. Buried within the maniac who drinks liquor at halftime and chokes opposing players on the court is a humanitarian who gave up his championship ring for mental health charity, …
Every once in a while we hear a classic tale from the ballpark that only comes along — as cliche as it may sound — once in a lifetime. This past Saturday, the script for one of those tales was written for longtime Angels fan and former …
With a headline like that, do we even need commentary? How does something like this happen at a Twins-Royals game while a Phillies fan — a Phillies fan of all people — was once seen giving a foul ball away to a young fan. And that was a …
We thought this clip was worth showing for two reasons. The first is the obvious: the fan was dressed in a cow onesie. I don’t know what it is with adult onesies lately but we got to see some great ones with the Rays pajama picture and now …
That Joe Maddon must be quite the character to have come up with the idea of dressing up for road trips. While it’s nothing new for the Tampa Bay Rays, they still manage to come up with some funny themes for playing dress-up before they hit …
Like most other NFL players and coaches whose careers hinge on an agreement being reached between the NFL and the NFL Players Association, Mark Brunell is hoping there is football in the fall. However, unlike guys like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, …
There are a lot of things a mascot can do to be fired. Punching a student in the face and giving him a bloody nose, starting a fight with a fan, and throwing snowballs at the crowd are just a few things mascots can do to warrant being canned. …

For whatever reason, baseball players tend to be the most superstitious people on the planet. We rarely hear about football players sacrificing a chicken to recover from a string of bad performances. We have never heard of a basketball player …
Loyola High pole vaulter Evan Barr only needed to clear his final height in order to win an individual state title at the California state track and field meet on Saturday. All the Los Angeles product needed to do to ensure that his team won a state …
Don’t get me wrong, I think the J.J. Barea billboard is clever and I’m glad his Mavericks swept the Lakers. Barea is the prototypical underdog story while many of the Lakers are worldwide celebrities. The thing I don’t understand …
Managers have been known to rip their teams and fans. Players have been known to do the same. Heck, sometimes even an owner like Fred Wilpon gets frustrated and decides to take it out on his own players. But when a first base coach feels the need …
Do you think the people of Vancouver like hockey? Maybe just a little bit. When the Canadian national team won the gold medal in hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, none of us were surprised. The United States put up a fight, but the …
Over the past few months, the football coaching situation at West Virginia has quickly transformed into a drama-packed episode of Days of Our Lives. About two weeks ago we told you about an alleged incident involving head coach-in-waiting Dana …
We see crazy knockouts in the MMA world at almost every event, but there’s something about the snap front kicks that just never seems to get old. Maybe it’s the element of surprise that comes along with a boot to the face, but we …
