In the long litany of awful All-Star game jerseys, these may have been the worst for the mere fact that they actually hindered viewing. You (unfortunately) see, the East jerseys had blue fronts and very-white-looking-but-apparently-silver backs, while the West jerseys had white fronts and gold backs. An interesting idea, but it had the unfortunate […]

I’ve really been trying to work some Soulja Boy Tell’em lyrics into my posts. I really been hoping that someone would “Throw some D’s” on something, but Dwight Howard busted out the Superman outfit in the Slam Dunk Contest. He forced my hand. Technically, it wasn’t even a slam dunk, but whatever. It was entertaining, […]

Yesterday, McNamee’s lawyer, Richard Emery, said that President Bush would pardon Roger Clemens. What do you have to say to that, Rusty Hardin?
“Richard Emery just has to quit smoking his own dope,” said Rusty Hardin, one of Clemens’ attorneys.
Goodness, was Rusty Hardin this hi-larious when defending Arthur Andersen?

After yesterday’s bigger-waste-of-tax-dollars-than-usual, the backwater lawyers of each client continue to spout off about nearly anything and everything. Now, although Roger Clemens hasn’t been convicted (or charged) with a crime, Brian McNamee’s lawyer thinks President Bush will pardon Clemens. Sure, why the hell not?
Lawyer Richard Emery made the claims Thursday, a day after a congressional […]

Yesterday, we all thought that Jason Kidd was heading to the Dallas Mavericks for Devin Harris and Jerry Stackhouse. Also, apparently Devean George was in the deal. Devean George does not want to go to New Jersey. Thusly, the trade is now on hold. Now I don’t know what to believe.
George was supposed to be […]

First Shaq, now Jason Kidd. More GMs continue to make trades for players who were really good eight years ago and are still pretty good but not quite as good as they were eight years ago, which is probably the player that the GMs think they’re getting. Anyways, Jason Kidd is back in Dallas, which […]

Ok, so I ran out of Uno-related puns. And why am I referencing everyone’s favorite card game? Why, because America’s favorite dog for the past couple days, Uno the beagle, won the Westminster Dog Show. This is clearly an important victory for America, or at least a distraction until March Madness. Anyway, the dog’s adorable. […]

Ah, the doldrums of February, where I’m so starved for meaningful competition that I turn my lonely eyes to Madison Square Garden. No, not the Knicks, I said meaningful competition. Yes, that’s right, it’s the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Did you know there are three different types of dachshunds? I do now. Also, there’s […]

John Rocker claims that Bud Selig knew that Rocker was on steroids way back in 2000. Rocker added, hey, look at me! Remember me? The Mets hated me. I was in Sports Illustrated. Selig and MLB quickly retorted that this was 2000, back when MLB didn’t care if you were on steroids or not.
“As part […]

I will say one good thing about Comcast — or rather, two, the other being that the Joel Zumaya commercial is still awesome — during the Olympics, I get to watch live Olympic events, mostly thanks to CBC. Ah yes, Canada, our delightful neighbors to the north. You see, they actually show the Olympic events […]

I really don’t want to write about the Clemens steroids thing. I really truly don’t. The story itself is remarkably boring. McNamee says Clemens took steroids. Clemens says he didn’t. Congress doesn’t have better things to do, so they get involved. Ho-hum. But the star of this whole process — the one who makes this […]

Well, actually not even technically. It’s the Pro Bowl, the least entertaining and most worthless of all the All-Star games. In the NBA and NHL events, defense becomes more of a theory and less of a practice, so it’s more of a high-flying spectacle. The Pro Bowl features simple, water-downed offenses. For MLB, it decides […]

Tonight is the last episode of the strike-shortened Season 2. I’m a ridiculous amount of episodes behind on TiVo, so I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m fairly certain I can catch up by season 3, if it ever happens. Help it happen by going here and doing whatever these wonderful people tell […]

First all those baseball players, then Clemens’ wife. McNamee probably injects so easily because he has low self esteem and he just wants to feel wanted.
Brian McNamee told congressional investigators he injected Roger Clemens‘ wife with human growth hormone as she prepared for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo session five years ago, the New […]

Super Tuesday was yesterday. Screw Super Tuesday. Whoever the President is, it will in no way affect the next four years of my life as much as where Terrelle Pryor goes to college. You see, Terrelle Pryor is apparently the greatest thing to ever happen to football. And he had narrowed his choice of […]

I always expected the last days of Bobby Knight to be, well, like the last days. There would be fire and brimstone, certainly. Probably beasts and flying chairs and most likely Bill Parcells. It would not be quiet. It couldn’t be. Of course, it was. Knight retired (quit) abruptly yesterday, putting his son Pat at […]
