Less than a week after Carlos Zambrano joined our list of weird injuries by hurting his neck watching late-night TV, he almost found himself back on it due to Zambrano-like antics. Unlike all American and most National League pitchers, Zambrano …
At one time associated with unrivaled success and a five-star football school, the name Jim Tressel will now likely become permanently attached to what turned out to be a dirty program. You could certainly argue that most of what Tressel and his …
I know there are plenty of people who are annoyed by Chris Berman, but personally I think he can be hilarious sometimes. His quirky little nicknames are usually such a stretch that you can’t help but laugh at how dumb they are. You also had …
If Shawn Marion has hopped on LBS yet today (since we know he does every day), he would probably have a few things to say about our man Patrick’s guide for picking the winner of the NBA Finals. While the guide is terrific and certainly worth a …
The recent news of actress Hayden Panettiere breaking up with heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko has been accompanied by some Dirty Sanchez speculation. No, I’m talking about Mark Sanchez and Hayden now dating. In typical athlete/celebrity …
The issue of homosexuality in sports has recently become a hot topic. Homophobic slurs by players and coaches like Joakim Noah, Kobe Bryant, and Roger McDowell have been accompanied by a load of negative publicity and almost sparked a rallying cry …
If I were to tell you Carlos Zambrano suffered a non-baseball injury, you would probably think he did something stupid. Maybe you’d figure he got into a fight or punched a wall because he got a question wrong in a game of trivia. Baseball fans …
UPDATE: Naturally, Scottie Pippen has backtracked a bit now that he realized how much attention his comments are getting. “Don’t get me wrong, MJ was and is the greatest,” Pippen said on his Twitter account Friday afternoon. …
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate LB on his pre-playoff NBA Champion knocking mine out of contention on Thursday night. Although I love Dirk and am rooting hard for the Mavericks (along with everyone else), I think the Heat are going …
When we see an injury like the nasty one Buster Posey suffered at home plate on Thursday night, we are reminded that at certain times baseball can be as physical as football — without any of the protection. Fans love to see players who …
When the Tampa Bay Lightning lost Game 5 to the Bruins and allowed Boston to take a 3-2 Eastern Conference Finals lead, Steve Downie sat on the bench by himself for a few minutes after the game. Perhaps he was still baffled by the goal Tim Thomas …
Truth be told, I have kind of forgotten that “Yankees Suck” is a somewhat inappropriate phrase. Seeing “Yankees Suck” written on a t-shirt or hearing 30,000-plus people chant it at a ballgame, parade, or even football game …
It’s no secret that plenty of players have a problem with the way the rules in the NFL have changed over the last few years. In an attempt to “protect” players from serious injury, the NFL has cracked down on head shots and what …
That’s what you call a commitment to partying. We have shown you a lot of crazy fan antics over the years here at LBS, so it’s tough to find something we haven’t seen before. Fish have been thrown onto the ice at NHL games, fans …
There’s an unwritten rule in the college football world that you may or may not have heard of since I just this second made it up: wait until you have coached at least one game to start acting like a jackass in public. Apparently West Virginia …
Relief pitchers are sort of like NFL kickers. They are their own breed of people and need things to be structured in a certain way. Ask a kicker to kick more 40-yard field goals in practice than he normally does and he’ll probably have a …
