Pete Carroll guested on the (Steve) Mason & (John) Ireland show on ESPN 710 in Los Angeles this week. The coach attempted to hedge his comments about Harbaugh’s decision to go for two with his Stanford team already ahead of Carroll’s USC Trojans 48-21 last Saturday in L.A.. But instead, Carroll let slip smoldering resentment.

MASON: […]

Amid yesterday’s unmentionable unfortunateness was vindication for FOX SPORTS’ Jay Glazer. When he’s not being Michael Strahan’s little bobo and riding around on his back, Glazer’s making a name for himself as the best reporter in the NFL, consistently sonning ESPN’s cadre of mic-holding talking heads.

(This? This is his fightin’ beard!)
That dynamic came to a […]

Even though their football face-off is still a couple of weeks away, the hatred between USC & UCLA is a year-long affair. Just ask any SoCal alum-slash-current NFL running back.

And KLAA-AM’s “Sports Lodge” did just that. Roger Lodge & Dave Smith had ‘SC alum & Tennessee […]

Michael Phelps‘ handlers might need to brush up on their avoid-entertaining-interviews technique after allowing their client to go on Dan Le Batard’s radio show on 790 The Ticket in Miami today.

Yes, it really was too easy for Le Batard, when he asked Phelps the question, […]

As we wait here in Los Angeles for the titanic tilt between USC and Ohio State in three weeks, we need something to keep us entertained. (The Trojans eating Virginia on Saturday just will not do.)

(Maybe L.W. was just talkin’ bout OSU sucking down his favorite, In-N-Out?)
Enter former Trojan and current Tennessee Titan LenDale […]

Fans of sports radio were dealt a harsh blow this morning when they learned that the “little hiatus” that Mike and the Mad Dog were on had turned into a full-blown permanent breakup. Chris “Mad Dog” Russo has left the WFAN building.

(The pair, during happier times)
The pair, only weeks from their 19th anniversary on the […]

BOING BOING wonders if you could play Tecmo Bowl with this controller.

YOU’VE BEEN BLINDED sits down with Jason Whitlock. And by “sits down,” we mean “probably exchanged emails.”

Dan Le Batard interviewed ESPN NBA analyst Tim Legler on WAXY-AM in Miami this week (audio starts at 5:36), and asked him, “What one thing would you change that bothers you about the (sports) media?”
Legler’s response: “The thing that bothers me the most is what has become a very blurred line between a journalist and […]

We haven’t listened much to Dan Patrick’s radio show (now cleared in Bakersfield!) since he left ESPN. Thankfully, HUGGING HAROLD REYOLDS, on their big day, has some (ESPN days?) audio from DP’s show to remind us just how much we miss it.

We’re guessing the clip is rather old, since Patrick claims on it that […]

Having toweled off after detailing Bill Parcells’ training camp golf cart in the stifling South Florida humidity, Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland met with the media today.

When he was asked about Miami’s first selection in next week’s NFL draft, Ireland suffered a verbal slip that might’ve expose a significant sliver of the Fins’ intention for pick. […]
