One benefit to late nights and early mornings in the grasp of excessive intoxication is the simplicity it bestows on the world. Whereas a sober person can look out the window and see hundreds if not thousands of different things, a drunk man sees an array of urinals, foodstuffs, curios, and targets. You can do […]

It’s been remarkable to see the assblasting that Alex Rodriguez’s reputation has taken in light of Selena Roberts‘ well-publicized character assassination book, A-Rod. The steroid stuff made its way through the headlines and resulted in the unintentionally funniest press conference in years, but now there’s a different sort of accusation being brought to the forefront, […]

When you think of current baseball players who have permanent green lights on the basepath, the list is pretty much Jose Reyes, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford… and that’s probably it (Bobby Abreu’s 11 steals are a frightening anomaly and will be summarily ignored).

(Today, Crawford is Captain Awesome.)
And while Ellsbury’s steal of home plate was the […]

While his quarterback is out slinging erection pills these days, ex-Bears wide receiver Willie Gault is still doing what he always did best — running. And he’s running really fast. Faster than most of us could ever dream, and he’s 48 years old.

Gault recently clocked a 10.80 in the 100-meter dash, and he holds the […]

It’s already been a special NBA Playoffs. The Celtics and Bulls have treated us to perhaps the greatest non-Finals series of all time, but that series’ exact opposite just wrapped up in Atlanta. Yes, I’m going out on a limb and say that the Hawks-Heat series was the worst series to go 7 games in […]

A good trade has an impact on both teams. So while the Seibu Lions gave up one of the best pitchers in Japanese history in Daisuke Matsuzaka, let no one say they didn’t get anything in return. Like the most amazing bathrooms you’ve ever seen.

With the $51 million they received from the Red Sox, Seibu […]

China’s got a ways to go with race relations; during the Olympics, they held many black people in custody because they were believed to be drug dealers. But the world is about to get its first look at China’s surprisingly heterogeneous population.

Ding Hui will be China’s first black international athlete. The 19-year-old volleyballer has been […]

Softball’s a civil sport, right? With well tempered fans? Evidently not in the Carolinas, where the parents of players still haven’t figured out to get along.

As first reported this morning in BUSTED COVERAGE, the closed circuit cameras from last weekend’s game between Western Carolina and Furman got a gem of a brawl behind home plate […]

It’s not every day that a former quarterback jumps on the ticket of a pretty unpopular presidential candidate. Yet that’s exactly what Jack Kemp did, and he pulled it off pretty damn well. Not as well as he was a Bills quarterback, but pretty well nonetheless. It’s just part of what stands out the morning […]
