• Why did LaLa Vasquez get into some vicious verbal jawing with Mavericks fans? Because she claims she was receiving racist taunts.

• What the Hellman’s? USC basketball coach Tim Floyd supposedly spent $1,000 to get some Mayo.
• Huzzah! NASCAR events can trace their roots back to Medieval times.
• Ex-NBA player Corie Blount is sentenced to […]

When the story broke about Dirk Nowitzki’s fiancee, Cristal Taylor, being arrested at his house on outstanding warrants, one seemingly benign detail that got us salivating was her age: 37. That told us one thing: there’s more. Women don’t turn criminally manipulative in their mid-30’s; it usually hits by puberty. So considering that Taylor’s had […]

I’m happy to announce today that Rick Chandler will be joining SbB as a full-time contributor. Along with Will Leitch, Rick launched DEADSPIN in 2005 and quickly helped turn it into the sports blogging powerhouse we all know and love today.

(I was, as you would expect, a little less subtle)
I’ve long been a huge […]

Skip Bayless has made his name by throwing out brash declaratory statements that tend to be pretty inflammatory. His lived up to that reputation earlier this week on ESPN’s “First Take” (formerly “Cold Pizza”, before that conceptual nameplate was killed off ritualistically), when he said that Dallas Mavericks fans were engaging in “Philly-style behavior“.

Evidently it […]

When I initially heard today about a story of a baseball player who moved into an assisted living facility, my first inclination was to congratulate Jamie Moyer on his new home. But no, this is (sadly?) the tale of a 25-year-old playing for the Lake Erie Crushers of the independent Frontier League who’s just trying […]

Amanda Beard has accomplished a lot in her life. Olympic swimming champ. Nude Playboy model. Nude PETA spokesperson. Resistor of Michael Phelps’ charms (which can’t be said for Caroline Pal, Carrie Prejean, Stephanie Rice & Theresa White).

And now Amanda can add two more notable achievements to her already impressive resume - wife & expecting mother. […]

Another day, another Australian rugby group sex scandal. Matthew Johns, a popular ex-player and current TV commentator, was fired from his job after he admitted to participating in an 11-man, 1-woman escapade at hotel room in New Zealand a few years back. Because really, what’s better than enjoying some intimate moments with a lady with […]

What makes the perfect football recruit for the Tennessee Volunteers? Apparently its a combination of speed, strength and a criminal rap sheet. Which is why it makes complete sense that Lane Kiffin offered star Ohio high school cornerback Dwayne “Deejay” Hunter a scholarship for next year. With his lockdown ability on defense and history of […]

The life of a retired NBA benchwarmer is a rough one. You’ve blown most of your career earnings on bad business deals and overpriced houses, you’re not well known enough to make any money endorsing things, and nobody appreciates the years you spent putting up 10 points per game for an awful expansion team. What’s […]

We all fondly remember Shaquille O’Neal’s breakout performance with the Jaberwockeez during All-Star Weekend. Now RANDBALL passes along more video showing that whether on the court or at home, the Big Cactus just can’t stop dancing:

Hey, if I didn’t know better, I’d think this video was some kind of attempt at viral advertising for Enlyten. […]
