Brown Bag it, Baby
Funny thing how I was recently pointing out Pretty Boy’s interview with The Grand Rapids Press where he called out HBO for being racist and having double standards when it comes to criticism of athletes versus announcers. Well apparently …
It was only last year that Ichiro revealed in an interview that pitching is on his list of things to do while in the big leagues. At the time Ichiro said he’d start pitching when he turned 40, but that he’d have to learn a knuckleball. …
When I read this story, I was literally laughing out loud. Here’s Chipper Jones, high royalty in the baseball universe, and he’s telling a tale of being snubbed by a singer who made a name for herself on a TV reality show. As he told …
Wow, this interview sure explains a lot. In an interview with The Grand Rapids Press, Floyd Mayweather Jr. revealed a lot about himself and his feelings that can really help to explain what’s been going on his career lately. Before I get to the …
Just like Andruw Jones to go 0-for-5 with 4 strikeouts in his first game back from injury. I saw the numbers both he and Nomar put up in their rehab stint together, and I thought it was encouraging. Now, (finally) I’m beginning to come around …
It was so fitting: I was over at my boy Hop-a-Long’s to enjoy 4th of July festivities, and what comes on Seinfeld as the rerun episodes? That’s right, the Keith Hernandez Magic Loogie episode. And why was that so fitting? As Hop-a-Long …
I have no idea how this stuff works out, but somehow Chris Kaman is going to wind up playing for Germany in the Olympics. Yes, the dude was born in Michigan, which in case you had forgotten, is in the U.S., and even went to school at Central …
Well, at least there is some good news in the face of Ana’s third round loss at Wimbledon — we’re soon to see her on the August cover of FHM. I haven’t been shy about posting my feelings of Ana previously, so in case you …
I didn’t get a chance to post on the original A-Rod and Madonna rumors that were floating around the last two days, mainly because I didn’t know what to make of them. Well, now it’s starting to look a heck of a lot more like those …
Maybe this explains why some baseball telecasts aren’t too enjoyable (putting aside what happens on the field). When FOX’s top national play-by-play man says he barely watches sports and doesn’t really enjoy baseball anymore, you …
The NFL rookie symposium is an excellent event. All the youngsters are schooled by the vets on many topics including staying out of trouble, handling the media, watching finances, and maximizing opportunities in the league. It’s quite a helpful …
And when I say they’re contenders, I don’t mean in the sense that they could win a title like the Lakers or Celtics, I mean a contender in the Clipper sense. And the Clipper sense of being a contender means they have a shot at earning a …
Alternate title: 756th ball to make it to Hall before Bonds (ever does …). Perhaps it’s fitting that it’s worked out this way, given the fact that, you know, Barry Bonds juiced to get the record. Bonds is right to say that Marc Ecko …
It’s quite a reality check when even the manager’s kid rips on you. That’s how you know what people really think about you because nine-year-olds for the most part, just parrot what they hear around them. So when Griffey asked the …
I have been quite negligent with Sombrero Watch, missing out on Carlos Beltran’s efforts on Saturday (I’m letting you off the hook on this one, buddy), and Ryan Howard last week. Though a day late, invitations were extended to Milton …
Times are tough, and to make matters worse, Dykstra’s athlete/magazine business plan fell apart. Perhaps it’s no surprise then that Lenny Dykstra has decided to sell his house. If you remember, Nails moved into Wayne Gretzky’s pad …
