In the wake of Manny Ramirez’s PED suspension - perhaps you’ve heard a bit about it - everything about his career has come under increased scrutiny, especially his glory years in Boston. It’s only fair, as long as “scrutiny” doesn’t cross the line into “assumed guilt.” Scrutiny isn’t evidence, it’s looking for evidence.

The NFL has delivered its message to Hawaii’s local and state government by taking away the Pro Bowl for one year to show they’re very willing to do so permanently unless the governments put out like a good taxpayer-funded source of income for the NFL. The $185 million in repairs on Aloha Stadium should be […]

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is no one’s fool.  He knows who to hire and who to sign. He knows how to get free money and make himself look like the hero for doing so.  He knows how to negotiate.  He’s a winner.

Therefore, Frank’s more than a little peeved at Manny Ramirez making him […]

The imminent retirement of Supreme Court Associate Justice David Souter has opened broad speculation about his possible replacement.  If you don’t think that matters much in the world of sports, you better ask around. The NFL is especially interested in the actions of the current Court.

By all accounts, Stephon Marbury’s time in Boston is a bizarre anticlimax. He rarely plays, he’s afraid to shoot, and he’s managed to completely stay out of the media, good or bad. So why does he say he’s happier than any time he’s been in his career?

A simple quote from Bill Russell seems to […]

When you’re young, the ultimate mashup of coolness would probably be close to Nelson Muntz’s “robot with guns for arms shooting a plane made of guns that fires guns.” When you’re older, it’s something even less realistic, like a topless Laker Girl playing guitar.

I must’ve been a very good boy this year, because that […]

The golf community seems to get their knickers in a bunch when it comes to borderline tasetless jokes, which is a shame because it seems like that’s the only time most of us pay any attention to golf.

But CBS golf analyst David Feherty got off a pretty good one at the expense of Speaker […]
