Look, it’s pretty obvious that the Northwestern Wildcats will probably end up doing bad, bad things to the woeful Eastern Michigan Eagles today. It’s a matchup borne out of money and a desire for an easy win. You know it, I know it, both teams probably know it. No, Northwestern isn’t exactly national championship material, […]

The scene: Jemele Hill’s brain, which very much resembles Oliver Hardy, is glaring at her mouth, which is the spitting image of Stan Laurel. Her brain looks disgusted, adjusts its bowler hat, and says derisively: “Well, here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into!” Oh, Jemele. Why?

Apparently still feeling the effects of being allegedly stalked […]

Personally I think that preseason all-conference voting is somewhat stupid, but if you’re going to have it, for Pete’s sake take it seriously. Steve Spurrier, no Tim Tebow action figure for you. Spurrier revealed that it was indeed he who was the lone coach who did not vote for Tebow on the preseason All-SEC ballot, […]

You never really know what’s going to happen on the 17th at Edgewood Tahoe when the American Century Celebrity Championship is in town. The fairway runs right along the lake, which means anyone with a boat can anchor right off the beach and watch for free. Many hop off their boats and watch up close, […]

We suppose that we can forgive Dana Jacobson this minor transgression, but it’s hilarious nonetheless. During ESPN’s “First Take” this morning, Jacobson referred to college basketball analyst Stephen Bardo thusly: “St. Louis is considered one of America’s greatest sports towns, but is it the best? Skip and Stephen A. will debate that, coming up next.” […]

When Joe Morgan tells this story four or five years from now, it’s going to be a lot more interesting than it is today. President Obama will likely be involved, and Joe will be the hero, possibly saving a busload of schoolchildren from a bear. So I would advise waiting until then for him to […]

You laughed at their jerseys, and searched their media guide to no avail trying to find someone named Jordan Zimmerman. Now the Washington Nationals have struck again. Hmm. Instead of signing a pitcher before the trading deadline, I suggest a couple of characters from “Sesame Street.”

The most remedial of all major professional sports franchises is […]

When some alien race arrives here in the distant future and digs up the artifacts of our long-extinct civilization, I hope they don’t find the Stanley Cup. I’d hate for us to be remembered by the unfortunate etchings on that ancient punch bowl. Not to mention the germs.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL has a story today […]

Amid the drama and excitement of Orlando forcing a Game 7 with Boston was a peculiar sight: Rafer Alston, apparently trying to atone for his Eddie House headslap by, um, kissing a referee’s bald head, as seen below.

(Okay, then.)
But as sharp-minded sports fans like HG at YOU BEEN BLINDED recall, this isn’t a crazy, one-off […]

No doubt millions of people throughout the United States had spent their winter counting down the days to the Southern Mississippi spring game, and on Saturday the day they’d been waiting for finally arrived. Of course, the problem for all of those Golden Eagles fans in New York, California, and everywhere outside Mississippi was that […]
