Tiger Woods won another major. Great. Once again, Tiger pulled away from the field on Sunday, creating another major victory completely devoid of any drama whatsoever. Another dominating performance. Sports writers will search their Thesauruses to find synonyms for great to describe Woods. Some creative souls may even make up their own words. The laziest of the […]

A teenage Mets fan forged NBC press credentials in order to get into the locker room at Shea Stadium and interview his favorite players. Authorities became suspicious when he asked sensible questions in a normal tone without trying to instigate controversy. The fan, Ryan Leli has been charged with impersonating a journalist.

Former media darling and current pariah Marion Jones has officially tested positive for EPO, an endurance booster. And you really need a lot of endurance when you’re going for 5 gold medals! A positive B test is all that’s needed to confirm what we already knew anyways: Marion wasn’t all-natural. When your former coach, your […]

Remember when Budweiser’s “Real Men of Genius” campaign was “Real American Heroes?” Some Cadets at West Point resurrected on of the early radio spots, added some pictures of Midshipmen male cheerleaders and created a video of tremendous comedic trash-talk.
Now, I’m all for mocking male cheerleaders. They’re one of the few easy targets where one […]

I generally enjoy Slate, even their sports coverage. But in the recent article about the resurgance of the Detroit Tigers, something didn’t quite sit right with me. Stephen Rodrick spends most of the article describing his love for the Tigers. In the first sentence he calls them “my Detroit Tigers.” He says he’s “fond” of […]

Fantasy Football is costing the American workplace $1.1 billion in lost productivity, according to recent study, ranking it among the top time-wasters. (Online poker and E-bay were the other distraction leaders.) If we really wanted to jump-start the economy, we just need a nation-wide ban on fantasy sports. Because if there wasn’t fantasy football, I’m […]

Rappers and Jewish mobsters are the latest additions to the Maurice Clarett story, which is getting consistently sadder and weirder. The latest news speculates that Mo was stocked so heavily because he feared reprisal from Hai Waknine, a member of The Jerusalem Group whom Clarett met through a mutual rapping friend.
Hai Waknine became Clarett’s de facto […]

Apparently, Tom Brady’s name has been mentioned by Barry Bonds’ former trainer, Greg Anderson. In today’s post-BALCO world, that’s just enough to warrant suspicion.
That picture is enough to quell them.

Ron Artest is back in Detroit performing community service as per his sentencing following the 2004 Brawl at the Palace. Naturally, community service in Detroit means speaking to a group of children about black empowerment at the Judge Mathis Community Center. (Yes, that Judge Mathis.) And what sage advice did the Tru Warier give the youngsters concerning the […]
