Friendly reminder - SbB’s live blogging tonight’s Cavs-Wizards Game 3.
• If Kobe Bryant can jump a car, why can’t Kenny Smith?

• Erin Phillips is one basketballer we’d like to pick ‘n’ roll with.
• Mets pitcher Joe Smith engages in some friendly chatter with the folks at the Friendly Confines.
• Gatorade demands that they’re the […]

Is Jeremy Shockey on his way to the Pacific Northwest? No way, Jose. The SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER reports that the Seahawks have denied a report in the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS that they were one of the teams interested in acquiring the Giants’ injured tight end.

Too bad. Shockey was such a joy to watch last time […]

WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids has the interesting story of a Michigan woman collecting baseball autographs. But what makes Margaret Lapham’s collection so special is how far back the signatures go - over 100 years.

Legendary Hall of Famers like Cy Young and Rogers Hornsby have added their names to the century of pages in Lapham’s little […]

Well, a New York-based TV network can at least pretend, right? On a recent episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a popular quarterback who wears No. 12 and dates a foreign supermodel was convicted of murdering his secret gay lover.

No, it’s not No. 12-wearing, supermodel-dating Tom Brady. Nice guess, though! It’s fictional […]

• It’s […]

Rich Rodriguez, who we assume is renting and not buying in Ann Arbor, has slowly been learning why the legal system calls the research phase of a trial the “discovery process”: we’re all discovering how refreshing he would be as a women’s cleansing product.

Now the discovery process has unearthed that Rodriguez sent a go-between to […]

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 […]

FORTUNE magazine does the impossible this week, publishing a piece about NHL commissioner Gary Bettman that we found somewhat interesting. It’s not really a profile per se, but inside look at his daily life - with the focus on his travel habits.

Now we’ve always pictured a big-time sports league commissioner jetting around on a Gulfstream […]
