• Before coupling up with cutie Alex Curran, Liverpool soccer player Steve Gerrard used to pursue his gals by following the mantra of “Go Ugly“.

(I don’t think Steve is “going ugly” anymore.)
• At least the Lakers are one step closer to holding up their end of the deal for a Kobe-LeBron finals.
• MLB All-Star […]

As we mentioned this morning, the Stanley Cup finals are now set with a rematch of last year’s Detroit-Pittsburgh finals. Detroit won last year, of course, because the Red Wings always freaking win. Apart from always winning, another galling quirk of the franchise is the fans’ propensity to throw octopi on the ice during playoffs. […]

Rick Majerus: good-natured goofball or basketball tyrant? Despite the image he tries to project (and his resemblance to the Dad from “Just the Ten of Us,” it’s becoming abundantly clear that the only thing the former Utah and current St. Louis coach loves more than a free buffet is making his players’ lives miserable. At […]

A couple of months ago, we theorized that the whole Billy Gillispie contract dispute had had all the makings of an ugly showdown, but that both parties might want to keep the dispute out of the public eye (especially Gillispie, who I assume wants to coach again). Well, that ain’t happening.

Gillipsie has sued UK for […]

Respected journals of anthropology like SPORTSbyBROOKS have long chronicled the behaviour of soccer fans in the wild, for science. SbB’s crack team of scientists traveled the globe to document the fascinating rioting habits of the Irish fan, the Romanian fan, and the Russian fan. We even received data from our South American research station on […]

Just when you think the economy is getting better, bad news from Bristol, Conn.; ESPN is laying off 100 employees. The cuts will span a wide variety of positions, “from production assistants up to executive roles,” which is probably why the network is currently auditioning puppets. They cost less and almost never lose their tempers […]

It’s no secret that last week Michael Vick was released from prison to home confinement; it seems like every major media outlet in the country rolled the completely boring footage of Vick’s entourage rolling up to his Virginia manse. With nowhere to go, you might think the nation’s most famous construction worker would have a […]

The United Milk Council or whatever the hell they’re called (apparently it’s the “National Milk Processor Board”) recently released a Milk Mustache promotion starring Dara Torres. Observe:

(”Dairy Torres”! Now there’s a zinger!)
So. A 41-year-old mother of two looking like that. Normally when you think of women in their 40s showing off, it’s in those […]

My first reaction on hearing that a Cincinnati man was arrested for having sex on a jungle gym (”Please be Cedric Benson, please be Cedrick Benson, please be Cedric Benson …”) was uncalled for, and I apologize. It was actually a man named Douglas Cooper, who will surely now have his own chapter in the […]

Last year, we wrote about (and showed some great pictures from) UCLA’s annual Undie Run, an event where college students in their skivvies take a late-night run around campus. We even uncovered some video of the fun festivities. Turns out the same revealing activities also take place just a little further down Interstate 5.

San Diego […]
