Memphis Grizzlies All-Star forward Zach Randolph is about to go to jail for a long time. In his home state of Indiana, Police were staking out a stash house. Eventually they pulled over an Escalade that was known to park there, and its driver who frequented the stash house. The vehicle ended up being registered [...]
A naked Diego Maradona.
Today, Argentina’s coach, known mostly as the second greatest soccer player of all time and a tremendous snorter of cocaine, said that if his team wins the World Cup he would celebrate by running naked through the streets of Buenos Aires. I’m sure that, despite their passion for their national team, Argentinians [...]
Los Suns beat the Lakers last night to even the series at 2 apiece. But the most remarkable thing about this is the extraordinary amount of abuse Steve Nash has taken along the way and still led his team to victory. In game 3, which Phoenix also won, Steve Nash had his nose broken while [...]
Wow. We’ve gone over how dumb Steve Phillips is, and then how, even while discussing how incredibly stupid he is, he blows you away with something even dumber. Well, yesterday Steve Phillips decided to top even the most moronic things he’s ever said or done. He really wanted to just set the record straight that [...]
Last night, Hanley Ramirez was benched after he decided not to hustle in chasing after a ball he booted, even though doing so allowed two runs to score. When asked why he didn’t run hard, Hanley said, “I’m Hanley Ramirez, bitch.” He later told manager Freddy Gonzalez, “Fuck your bench, Freddy! Fuck your bench!” Ramirez [...]

First, we need Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez to start hitting. They are the ONLY weak link in our [...]

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig finally responded to requests by the MLB Players Association and by a New York congressman, whose district includes Yankee Stadium, to remove the 2011 All-Star game from Phoenix due to the racist immigration laws recently passed in Arizona. His response? That the game shouldn’t be moved because baseball has such a [...]
Dallas Braden threw a perfecvt game last night. That aught to teach A-Rod a lesson about running over people’s mounds. He’ll think twice next time… unless he’s feeling lucky. Well, do you, A-Rod?
Woo hoo! The Cubs called up 20 year old prodigy shortstop Starlin Castro today. He’s totally going to save our franchise and lead us to the promised land, where we’ll all live happily ever after. I heard one time he slayed a giant, then feasted his on golden goose and magic beans before taking the [...]
In preparation for tonight’s match-up between the Cavaliers and Celtics, I have a few thoughts surrounding Shaquille O’Neal and his legacy. Here it is as it currently stands in 17 seasons of work:
Rings:
4 championships total, including 3 straight (2000-2002). He won with 2 different teams (LA and Miami). Appeared in finals with 3 different teams [...]
