There’s all sorts of bad ideas involved with this one, I’ll try to get through them. Major League Baseball, in their infinite wisdom, felt that civil rights would not be complete without their own personal tribute, a spring training exhibition called “The Civil Rights Game.” (T-Shirts still available!) They are playing the exhibition in AutoZone […]

Nothing says more about a baseball player than his at-bat music. Well, maybe OPS, but after that, it’s totally at-bat music. That’s why it’s extremely risky for David Wright to put his at-bat music in the hands of us fickle internet denizens. It’s not like we vote disingenuously for more hilarious results. That has never […]

Pakistani cricket coach Bob Woolmer’s death went from a horrific example of the effects of stress, to a suspicious coincidence and possible suicide, to a strangulation.
“Because Bob was a large man, it would have taken some significant force to subdue him, but of course at this stage we do not know how many people were […]

I, of course, don’t believe her. All known contraceptives can’t stop the power of Brady’s little swimmers.
“It’s crazy how people can make up these stories,” the Brazilian bombshell said on TVE’s “Corazon de Primavera.” “I’m not pregnant and I’m not planning to be pregnant anytime soon. I have so many contracts to do, so many […]

Josh McRoberts is declaring himself eligible for the draft. He must mean that he finally signed up for Selective Services, because I am declaring him incapable of playing in the NBA.

The Cricket World Cup is starting to terrify me. As the investigation of the “suspicious” death of Bob Woolmer continues, another prominent cricket personality died yesterday. Bob Kerr was found dead in his hotel room after an apparent heart attack. At this point, I’m not really believing anything about anyone dying of heart attacks in […]

Don King got a front row seat at the Pope’s general audience yesterday and was dangerously close to getting a private meeting with his Holiness. If only they had walked into a bar, we’d have a joke on our hands. Ok, we actually have many jokes on our hands:
King was to inquire where Pope Benedict […]

Adam Archuleta, you remember him right? He was the white safety for the Rams. No, not the one who became the surprisingly good wide receiver for the Lions. The one who became a wildly overpaid backup safety for the Redskins. Yeah, him. Well, he’s reunited with Lovie Smith, a coach who actually uses a defense […]

Before I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Sure, cricket fans are crazy, but not so crazy to, you know, poison a coach. Just crazy enough to watch cricket. They’re not soccer fans. I mean, right? But now, oh shit.
Jamaican officials are calling the death “suspicious,” but refuse to comment whether it was suspiciously […]

You can push them out of a plane, you can march them off a cliff, you can send them off to die on some God-forsaken rock, but for some reason you can’t slap them.
- Grandpa Simpson from “Bart the General”
Grandpa Simpson was talking about Bart’s legion of 10-year-old “soldiers,” but apparently the same rule applies […]

Someone should tell Danny Ainge that — really — you don’t have to convince anyone to sign with a pro team when they’re going to be a rookie. You just draft them. You draft them, and they sign with you. That’s pretty much how it works. No one pulls an Eli Manning in the NBA. […]

Because the NCAA tournament had been unusually boring this weekend, I was looking around the internet for something interesting to write about. Then this happy little nugget came across my desk(top.) On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish National team upset the heavily favored Pakistan team in the Cricket World Cup. Well, that’s a neat little […]

Bryant put in 65 in the overtime victory scoring over half of the Lakers 116 points. It was Bryant’s second highest scoring game behind his 81-point effort last season.
It […]
