A radio station with the terrific call letters “WGRR” has a great promotion going at the moment. The station is offering local fans two minor league Cincinnati Cyclones hockey tickets in exchange for Chad Johnson jerseys.

Frankly, we’re surprised the backlash among Bengal faithful took this long.

Some fun (and revealing?) Google ads on SbB today:

Who knew Ronaldo was an avid SbB reader? And cheers to you, Sir Elton!

Let’s face it; professional athletes are the coolest people on Earth. If you don’t believe that, just ask them and they’ll surely tell you so. But maybe you’re wondering how can I, a lowly sports blog reader, become as awesome as my favorite athlete? Well worry no more, friend! SPORTSbyBROOKS is […]

As a Royals fan, we’re constantly scouring the four corners of the sports universe for ways to stay interested in baseball’s Wal-Martians.

(The Royals aren’t faking their dismay - unlike the lungs on KTCK’s Claudia)
Jeff Flanagan keeps us going for another week, reporting today that some show hosts on KTCK-AM in Dallas played “stupid […]

Some recent photos of Hulk Hogan … and daughter Brooke?!:

Pop culture junkies know that Hulk cheated on his wife of 24 years, Linda, with one of Brooke’s friends. So we suppose these photos, in that context, or completely normal.

(Thanks Pau!)

Here’s a clip from something called “Hanging with Mr. Hunter” on FSN (via SI.com’s HOT CLICKS).

The piece documents Torii Hunter’s (alleged) first drive to Angels Stadium, as he’s assisted by a vehicle GPS system he calls “Susan“. And his brother Tram. Both aren’t much help.
Hunter, while en route to the ballpark, riffs on his new […]

Really. What is Jason Taylor getting out of Dancing With The Stars? Here’s a clip from him last night:

(Next up: A fall run as Mansion cage dancer on South Beach)
Embarrassing. Funny. Sad. We especially love the menacing look he tries to put on while dressed as a cabana boy at the Delano (eye black really […]

Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most memorable postgame meltdowns in Major League Baseball. It was on this date in 1983 that then-Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia went off on a terrific tirade that had more utterances of the f-word than the entire run-time of “Scarface“.

(As printed on the front page of […]
