Before we can spend time mourning a celebrity, or appreciating their life’s work, we obsess over the circumstances of their death, especially if they were as young as Steve McNair. Now at least we can put one question to rest.

Police are set to announce today that McNair was killed by 20-year old Sahel “Jenny” […]

The knock on former Hawaii quarterback Timmy Chang coming out of college was that he lacked the arm strength to be an NFL quarterback, which explains why he’s out of football after bouncing through the NFL and CFL after leaving the Warriors as the NCAA’s all-time passing leader.

But perhaps a team should give him a […]

Michael Jackson’s death affected the sports world in many ways, from his music video with Michael Jordan to his epic Super Bowl performance, to say nothing of the effect his life had on individual athletes. So it’s no surprise to see a CFL player pay tribute to him during a touchdown celebration. Sounds like a […]

In the long run, not only did Jerry Manuel’s latest brainstorm contribute to team unity, but it’s going to save the Mets a ton of money. On Tuesday following New York’s season-worst fifth straight loss, Manuel read the riot act to his underachieving minions in a closed-door meeting, and ended things by making an unexpected […]

Knoxville, Tennessee, has a problem. No, it’s not the age-old question of what to do with the Sunsphere, or the struggles to find prosperity after the decline of the manufacturing sector. Well, true, those are problems that are facing or have faced Knoxville (the set of 1987 World Book Encyclopedias in the SbB research library […]

As any attorney can tell you, it’s very time consuming and frankly wasteful to have to write the same thing over and over again, when a standard form can be devised to make things much easier. THE DAILY EVERGREEN, the student newspaper at Washington State University, has taken this concept and run with it in […]

Much like the U.S. soccer team in the Confederations Cup, Terrell Owens and Joanna Krupa faced certain elimination in ABC’s time-wasting action-packed series “The Superstars,” only to come back in semi-triumph. Yes, America’s favorite couple are still alive, as you surely know from watching last night. What do you mean you read a book instead? […]

Can’t say we expected this one. After ticking off just about everybody from Ron Paul to Paula Abdul, Brüno has offended a most unlikely group: the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s not-so-subtly gay Austrian fashionista took a trip to the States for his latest movie, and stopped off in Los Angeles to do […]

OK, let’s look on the bright side. When Brandon Marshall is driving drunk and being hauled to jail for refusing a breath test, at least he’s not beating up his girlfriend. But if he’s looking for someone to show up with some cash to bail him out of jail after his next offense, I wouldn’t […]

Among all of God’s commandments, Thou Shalt Not Pilfer Dallas Cowboys Memorabilia is probably the most sacrosanct (thanks for losing that one on the way down the hill, Moses). While the thieves who ransacked Butch Franklin’s apartment last week will receive their justice in the next life, Mr. Franklin is getting his right now. Turns […]
