Via Everything But Hockey, some glorious news. Your new favorite middleweight, Arthur “the Smurf” Abraham, has successfully defended his IBF championship. Not only that, but he spent most of the bout fighting with a broken jaw. And the fight went the distance. Damn. You can call yourself anything you want when you’re that hardcore. I […]

In what could only be described as life imitating art, a drunk Romanian soccer player threatened game officials with a pistol:
“The referee noticed that [Ion] Ciobanu appeared inebriated in the first half and informed club officials, who decided to substitute him with another player, Onlinesport reported.
“Ciobanu initially refused but was eventually replaced. While on the […]

Europe keeps raining on the US golf parade. For the third time in a row Europe has defeated the USA in the Ryder Cup. Europe manhandled the US 18 1/2 to 9 1/2. It’s hard to imagine how you could lose wearing an argyle sweater.
That makes the US 0 for a lot […]

Buddy Bell’s tonsils are inflamed and must be removed. This is the best thing to happen to him all year. He doesn’t have to watch the Royals the rest of the year, plus he gets all the ice cream he can eat. Yummm.

Actually, sometimes they’re significantly worse. Mitsuhiro Tateyama, who makes his living by playing golf better than average human beings, shot a 19 on a par 3. That’s 16 strokes over par. It’s a sexdecuple bogey. The most amazing thing is Tateyama finished the round only 13 strokes over par. He was 3 under the rest […]

Golf is a world of high stake wagers. It’s fans and players are quite wealthy and they routinely bet large sums of money on themselves and each other. So when a bet is placed that dwarfs all other wagers, it’s national news. Some ballsy person has placed near half a million dollars on the underdog […]

When Bob Stoops decided that the Pac-10 officials story wasn’t going away, I don’t think he realized that other people would start voicing there opinions. (He probably figured he’d get a free five day platform to cry away.) Well, Bob Knight wouldn’t stand for that. Despite not being involved with either football or either of […]

Meet Arthur Abraham. Arthur Abraham is the official, recognized IBF middleweight champion. (The IBF being one of the 249 official sanctioning bodies of boxing.) And he’s being sued by the Smurfs.
You see, Arthur’s nickname is the Smurf. Seriously. His ring entrance music is the smurf theme song. He wears a golden smurf hat. For some […]

His hunger for talented but troubled wide receivers is insatiable. He may not draft them, but that’s just a clever rouse. Just a plan to throw you off the trail. Millen will stop at nothing to field an expensive and disappointing receiving corps. With Fat Mike Williams inactive and Charles Rogers, well, wherever the hell […]
