Brown Bag it, Baby
When a Philadelphia Phillies security guard Tasered a fan for running onto the field at Citizens Bank Park a couple of weeks ago, it apparently did little to strike fear into the hearts of prospective field-rushers. Actually, a fan tried it again at …
They said New Orleans would throw the greatest party in American history if the Saints won the Super Bowl. Well, the Saints did indeed win the Super Bowl and the partying on Bourbon Street in New Orleans has been spectacular. It’s been so …
The thing that’s so much fun about maintaining this site is seeing all the new, crazy stuff that happens on a daily basis. It’s almost like that part in the Howard Stern movie, Private Parts, where listeners are asked why they tune into …
The word “fan” is short for a word we often forget — fanatic. That term is more appropriate for the people who vandalized Leodis McKelvin’s lawn following the Bills’ loss on Monday night to the Patriots. Yes McKelvin …
If this were a basketball game in Detroit, Shane Victorino might have wound up in the bleachers. As it stood, Victorino made a catch in the bottom of the 5th at Wrigley Field with the bases loaded and one out. Some dopey Cubs fan who likely was a) …
File this story under the header for “Money grabs.” Many teams will have giveaways where they launch stuff into the crowd, creating a frenzy as people who just dropped $50 for a ticket, parking, and food, all scramble for a $5 shirt. It …
I’ve heard of guys getting their behinds tatted to win a bet or whatnot — Justin Miller and Billy Koch being the prime example — but that’s something I could never really grasp. Tattoos in general, much less to commemorate …
The malice in the Palace was bad enough and certainly nothing I thought I would ever see. Then again, you never know what’s going to happen when we’re talking about live games. This time Marquette and Providence were playing in Rhode …
And we can’t even use the excuse that they were just trying to keep warm since it took place indoors. In case you missed it because it was played late on Saturday night, Iowa trounced Minnesota 55-0 to retain the Floyd of Rosedale. With the …
I’d like to think that most Dodger fans are pretty sensible creatures. Unfortunately Doyer fans have decided to make up for the Raiders not being in town anymore and have left me disappointed. They’ve been involved in stadium shootings, …
I’ve never been much of a mohawk fan, going back to the 90s when it was making a bit of a run. That aside, I’m a fan of team-building activities. I was on a squad where we all bleached our hair for camaraderie — it’s part of …
If there’s one thing we can all learn from this, it’s that you don’t show crowd shots of fans of the home team following an interception by their quarterback –This is not some gentle english sport like cricket or horse racing. …
I just don’t even know what to do with this. I’m not so sure that the outcome of a sporting event really impacted my life to great levels for longer than like an hour, but I know there are some who live and die with each win or loss. It …
The headline is self explanatory. Umph, that musta hurt. Kid was probably mortified afterwards, not to mention Mike Pelfrey who had the misfortune of being there for it. Much like Jake Brown, the kid somehow walked away from the accident. The best …
Without much hesitation, I’m comfortable saying that Aaron Rodgers is in the toughest position of all NFL players who had to follow in the footsteps of a legend. First of all, nobody who has taken over for a legend has played in 2008 with the …
As I said the other day, sometimes words are not necessary. What is that saying about pictures anyway? Photo via Spencer Hall’s trusty musket over at The Sporting Blog and Friends of the Program.
