Two years ago, Jim Harbaugh and Stanford buried USC’s hopes at a national title, 23-21, in what’s largely believed to be the biggest upset against the point spread in college football history. Last year, USC went to Palo Alto and won 45-23 in a game that got a little coach-chippy with some unnecessary scoring in […]

Is Danica Patrick played out? It seems sudden, being that she’s still on the rise in her young IRL career and her commercials are still popular. But lo and behold, there’s two ladies in the latest GODADDY.COM commercial… and neither of them are her.

(Oh! Oh! They’re looking at each other like that! Something might happen!)

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled SPORTSbyBROOKS programming. We hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, or at the very least, got drunk and embarrassed yourself somehow.
Somebody who didn’t drink and embarrass herself over the weekend was Danica Patrick. While she didn’t win the Indy 500 on Sunday, she did manage to finish […]

We’ve had our fun with Lindsay Soto (or more accurately, made dirty jokes about having our fun with Lindsay Soto). But the woman is nothing if not a professional. The Versus between-the-boards reporter managed to successfully interview a Ducks player, while simultaneously doing everything she could to make she we couldn’t see down her dress. […]

When Brittney Griner started playing basketball at Houston’s Nimitz High School as a freshman, she was already pretty tall for a girl her age. She was already 6 feet, and over the last few years she’s continued growing. And when I say continued growing, I mean like a tree on steroids. Here’s a picture of […]

There aren’t many sports power couples, but there’s definitely a hierarchy. Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are the A-listers. Shelden Williams and Candace Parker are, generously, B-list. Jennie Finch and Casey Daigle are just scraping by as C-listers. So where does that leave MMA Fighter KJ Noons and Lingerie Football League “player” Melany Lorenzo? […]

Does anything scream Major League Baseball like that dude from “Moonlight and Valentino” singing a country music song? (Correct answer: Yes, everything.)

More impressive than Jon Bon Jovi — the visionary responsible for Slippery When Wet — getting all countrified in this TBS spot for the upcoming playoffs, is the breaking news that the Yankees are […]

Kids, it was a long day for ol’ Brooksie. This is the first chance I’ve had today to sit down and actually put keyboard to flatscreen for the site. Next time I goto the DMV, I probably shouldn’t take hostages for a better “next served” number.

Very soon, I’ll be coming […]

FUTURE MOM MIA HAMM CAN FINALLY USE HER HANDS: Julie Foudy and Mia Hamm know each other pretty darn well. They played together on the Women’s U.S. National Soccer team for 18 years, retiring together in 2004 (and in since probably you missed it, Tuesday they were inducted together in the National Soccer Hall of […]

The eye-candy-conscious admakers for GoDaddy.com admit they’ve resoted to using IRL driver/hottie Danica Patrick in their three 30-second Super Bowl spots that’ll air during the Feb. 4 contest on CBS.

Of course, “Go Daddy Girl” Candice Michelle will also be included, along with motorcycle racer Valerie Thompson.GoDaddy insists it submitted 14 versions of its commercial spots […]
