Brown Bag it, Baby
I was watching some of the White Sox/Tigers game in the afternoon Tuesday (the first game of a doubleheader) and saw the most rare occurrence. Leadoff man Juan Pierre stepped up to the plate to lead off the 5th and proceeded to launch a home run to …
The NBA season lasts 82 games. That’s a lot of games. When a season lasts that long, it’s not unreasonable to say that the first game of the season is … well … worthless. Somehow I don’t think that’s going to be …
According to Pro Football Talk, via Reuters, the NFL is exploring the possibility of installing an electronic chip inside footballs that would help officials determine whether or not the ball breaks the plane of the goal line on questionable plays in …
With the way the Cubs came charging out of the All-Star break taking three of four from the Phillies, I was convinced they were going to make a run at the NL Central title. And if they were not going to make the playoffs, I at least felt they would …
Alexander Ovechkin has a new girlfriend, and in my opinion she’s not very hot. I obviously wouldn’t tell him that because he’d probably shove me or something. Maybe the reason I feel that way is that I’m not into girls who …
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with the way LeBron James has gone about his business over the past month or so. The whole ESPN “The Decision” gimmick was an abomination and I think he should have avoided making such a …
Tim Tebow may have saved the manatees and he may be able to touch MC Hammer, but he did not help Nick Swisher propose to girlfriend Joanna Garcia. In a wild rumor amongst rumors, Swisher’s wikipedia page suggests “Football player Tim …
The Manny Ramirez experiment in Los Angeles has been a failure. When Manny became a cancer in the Red Sox clubhouse and completely forced his way out of town, it looked like the Dodgers were grabbing a legitimate slugger that could anchor the middle …
Wow, apparently he was not joking this off-season. Back in March we told you that Favre said he was undecided about his future. We figured that was just part of Favre’s annual charade; even his own agent called him a drama queen. But Jeff …
On Saturday we posted a video of FOX 5 reporter Lindsay Murphy running the Albert Haynesworth conditioning test. Murphy beat Haynesworth’s time for the first 300 yard run but failed to complete the second shuttle run in the necessary time. As a …
Ever since there was much ado about Dez Bryant refusing to carry Roy Williams’ shoulder pads all rookies have been judged by the same standard: pad carrier or not? We already know that Dolphins rookie Travis Ivey is a card carrying member and …
The Chicago Blackhawks lost their arbitration case with goaltender Antti Niemi and would have had to pay him $2.75 million in salary. They had the option to keep him, trade him or release him as a free agent. Their decision? They let him walk away. I …
At a time when members of the mainstream media are abuzz with talk of new labor agreements and star quarterbacks whose contracts are expiring after this season, I’m a little surprised to hear Indianapolis Colts Owner Jim Irsay admit that he …
Either LA Times Magazine is writing some fat checks, or west coast athletes couldn’t care less about their public image. Chances are the former is more true but whatever the case, Andre Ethier was somehow coaxed into making the same mistake …
You don’t need a jury, a judge, or an LBS writer to tell you that Barry Bonds’ single-season home run record of 73 is a product of steroids. Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and the other poster boys of Major League Baseball’s …
If there were ever two NFL players perfectly MFEO, Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens were them. These guys are on the same mental level and will probably cancel each other out in the Bengals locker room with all their idiocy. That’s why it …
