Hannah Storm Crosses the Line with Skimpy Outfit Again

We’ve been down this road several times before, even to the point when Tony Kornheiser was suspended for making cracks about Hannah Storm’s outfits. But let’s get this straight once and for all: what Storm wears on air is …

Bob Knight Blasts Chicken S*** Defense on ESPN GameDay

Bob Knight is known for speaking his mind and dropping cuss words as he pleases. For some reason, he comes across as mild by his standards when he’s on TV. But Knight had a Bob Knight moment on GameDay Saturday morning on ESPN where he dropped …

Howard Bryant Arrested and Charged with Assault, Resisting Arrest (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Bryant’s lawyer is pulling the race card. “This case is about the fact that racism still exists in America, and Howard Bryant is a victim of it,” said attorney Buz Eisenberg.  His wife, Veronique Bryant, is not pressing charges …

Kobe Bryant Calls Out Jason Whitlock for Stretching Statement About Young Players

Did Sixers Announcer Eric Snow Fall Asleep During Game? (Video)

At 27-29, the Philadelphia 76ers probably aren’t the most exciting team to watch in the NBA.  Fans undoubtedly have trouble getting behind the Sixers, but their broadcast team is supposed to always remain interested, right?  Apparently not.  It …

Pam Oliver Interview Video: Struggling with Question for Greg Jennings

No matter the profession, everybody has bad moments. It’s particularly awful when you suffer one of those screwups on a big stage, as Pam Oliver did during Super Bowl XLV. Oliver is usually fantastic at her job — concise and to the point …

Clearing Up the John Elway ‘Not a Tim Tebow Fan’ Misinformation

Charles Barkley Goes Off on Anti-Blog Rant Over Cam Newton Tickets Story

TNT analyst Charles Barkley is a loudmouth media personality who’s not afraid to speak his mind, when he’s not getting DUIs or flipping people off on camera. Most of his rants are outrageous but funny enough for people to forget how …

Michele Tafoya Stiffarmed by Jim Harbaugh, Horse Collars Andrew Luck

One of the worst aspects of watching the Orange Bowl was seeing a television production focused on Jim Harbaugh’s future as much as the game at hand. The constant speculation of where the Stanford coach will go and what quarterback Andrew Luck …

ESPN Announcer Ron Franklin Apologizes for Calling Jeannine Edwards ‘Sweet Baby’

ESPN announcer Ron Franklin was pulled off the radio broadcast of the Fiesta Bowl after an incident with reporter Jeannine Edwards. As Sports by Brooks explained Sunday, ESPN announcer Rod Gilmore and Edwards were discussing the subject of …

Washington Capitals’ Analyst Craig Laughlin Swears on the Air (Video)

It looks like analysts and announcers have gone crazy.  At least when Howie Rose trashed the Islanders and Bob Lamey ripped Peyton Manning they both thought they were off the air.  Washington Capitals color analyst Craig Laughlin has taken it to the …

Dumb Story Alert: Red Sox Would Have Let Papelbon Go if they Got Rivera

I saw this story Friday night on ESPN.com but did not get a chance to address it until now. One of the main headlines on the site’s front page was that the Red Sox were prepared to let closer Jonathan Papelbon go if they were able to sign …

Stuart Scott Drops an Accidental F-Bomb in Referencing Derek Anderson (Video)

Derek Anderson can thank Stuart Scott for making sure he wasn’t the only one dropping curse words on live television after the Cardinals embarrassing loss to the 49ers on Monday night.  Last night, we showed you Anderson’s rant after a …

Islanders’ Announcer Howie Rose is Sick of the Islanders (Video)

The New York Islanders are absolutely atrocious this year.  With a 4-12-4 record through 18 games, I can’t imagine there are many Islanders fans out there who are still holding out hope for a successful season.  Many have likely lost interest, …

No, Derek Jeter Is Not Interested in the Houston Astros

Oh boy, it’s been a rough week for the fellas over at Thirty Mile Zone. Despite their tabloid nature, it’s been proven that TMZ’s stories actually have remarkable accuracy, including this report on Floyd Mayweather Jr. Monday. This …
