So through a series of mixups and comic blunders, someone has given me my own sports blog. It’s over at NBCSports.com, and it launches tomorrow at 9 a.m. Title: Out Of Bounds. No, I don’t know the exact url (they tell me very little), but it’ll be promoted on their front page, I’m told. No […]

We take you now to Georgia, where cheerleaders hoist giant signs with bible verses at public school football games, and when you play pickup basketball, it had damned well be shirts vs. shirts.

From the people who gave us dolphin slaughter and the hay fever hat, here’s the latest invention from Japan: A bra that can be unfolded and used as a putting green. Finally, a way for you ladies to work on your short game when you can’t get out to the course. (May also be used […]
