After “Moving Day,” or the Saturday leg of the Masters, we’ve got an interesting scenario. The final pairing is Angel Cabrera and Kenny Perry at -11, while Chad Campbell sits at -9 after a late double bogey. Jim Furyk’s an intriguing comeback pick at -8. Then there’s Tiger, tied for 10th place, but seven shots […]

For whatever reason, France hates Lance Armstrong. Seriously, they haaaate him. They hate him with a visceral disgust that they usually reserve for the Spanish (we’re just assuming that, like the residents here, Europeans hate anyone who lives across a political border from them). They were even discussing whether to make the day Lance broke […]

In the pantheon of purely iconic boxers, few have the media presence that Oscar de la Hoya has. His boyish grin commands a camera’s attention, even as he’s spent the last 20 years beating up other comically small welterweight and middleweight fighters. But he got rocked by Manny Pacquiao in his most recent fight, and […]

We saw Dikembe Mutombo at NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, toting enough concession food to kill a younger man.  Perhaps that’s his secret to longevity in the NBA.
While covering for Yao Ming’s latest foot-based absence last night, Mutombo sent four shots onto a new trajectory in a statistic oft-called “blocks”.  Honestly, though, we’d be alright […]

Former NBA player Kevin Johnson may have won the Sacramento mayoral election last fall, but that didn’t make all the dirt the previous mayor (Heather Fargo) and her supporters kicked up just disappear. (For your convenience: hints of underage sexual assault, evil landlordism, slimy direct mailings, etc.) Johnson and the city of Sacramento are still […]

Corey Surrency is still in NCAA limbo, due to obscure rules designed to punish the least deserving of offenders. Well, let’s add the Iowa High School Athletic Association to the list of organizations deserving of our scorn.

Jim Gabella, coach of the minor league Burlington Bees, thought it would be a nice gesture to let his […]

Old Zen kōan: if something happens involving Charlie Villanueva, and he doesn’t Twitter about it, can it be said to really have happened at all? Regardless, we’ve got to report that the Bucks forward is being sued for assaulting a man at a nightclub last February.

The uploaded PDF of the complaint is missing a […]

Suddenly, Terrell Owens isn’t the biggest distraction in Buffalo anymore. Instead, that role falls to Donte Whitner, whose first big mistake may have been being a Bills player in Cleveland. Whether it’s that or his general bad timing in going off the boil outside the House of Blues — isn’t that supposed to be a […]

It’s Easter weekend, and plenty of us are heading home to celebrate the religious holiday with our families. Well, before Notre Dame football players got a chance to skip out of town, the FORT WAYNE JOURNAL-GAZETTE got them to say who they’d be for one day if they had their pick. Not surprisingly, most of […]
