• Major League Baseball without steroids is like porn without the silicone.

Just don’t blog about the subject with Raul Ibanez.
• Rodney Harrison doesn’t like how the NFL has become “soft and pansy“.
• A Fox News morning show lambasts MTV for Bruno’s ass-ault on Eminem - then does a segment with a Fox reporter doing basically […]

If there’s one sport most closely connected with the art of trash-talking, without a doubt, it’s basketball. Cripes, the And 1 Tour gives a guy a microphone and puts him on the court to yap at the players. So it’s frustrating to see the David Stern NBA now populated by mediabots, personified best by notorious […]

Just when you thought that the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry couldn’t get any sillier, here’s Mark Teixeira getting royally riled over something Twittered by Red Sox owner John Henry on Thursday.

It was at the end of Boston’s 4-3 win over New York, stretching the Red Sox record against the Yanks this season to 8-0, that Henry […]

It’s a contract year for Braylon Edwards, and if there’s one constant among professional athletes, it’s that contract years are their best years; one good season can erase years of underperformance and lead to a giant contract (these usually make their way into “severe regret” territory; see Austin Croshere for more). If Edwards’ 2009 is […]

We all remember Kayte Taylor, the Santa Rosa, California, woman who prevented a thief from stealing her wallet by shotputting a case of Miller Lite at the man, knocking him off of his getaway bike. Now an eyewitness has come forward, relating to SPORTSbyBROOKS never-before-heard details of the harrowing incident.

Bonnie Davis, a co-worker and friend […]

Sure, that probably goes for everybody, not just athletes, but the last thing someone with an annual salary with more zeroes than a comic book convention (Get it? Because they’re nerds! BAAA-ZING!) needs is an over-inflated sense of entitlement.

(No, it’s not […]

Former Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball player Shane Schilling has had a rough time of it since he was kicked off the team before his junior year. In 2005, he managed to get hurt when he was hit by a car while trying to cross the freeway. Then in 2007, he was convicted of attempted robbery […]

It’s hard to fathom now, but there was once a major professional sport in North America called, if memory serves us right, “iced-hockey.” This sport had its games broadcast on real actual networks like FOX and ESPN, and expanded its reach all over the nation with teams in exotic non-icy locales like Tampa, Florida and […]

I hesitate to mention this after yesterday’s mini-storm involving Rush Limbaugh, but another right-wing icon is in the sports news. That would be Bill O’Reilly, who, for whatever reason, would be the perfect rap duet partner, says the one and only Ron Artest.

The news broke on Twitter, as you knew it had to. Artest wants […]

Karen Sypher is not a criminal mastermind. We’re not sure if she’s even a criminal - that’s for the courts to decide, after all - but if she were, she’s clearly not very good at it.

(She’s the one in the middle.)
