• Manny Ramirez does his bobbleheads proud with a pinch-hit grand slam.

• But Minnesota Twins legend Harmon Killebrew isn’t so impressed.
• Michael Vick supposedly spent his first day of freedom at a strip club with Allen Iverson. But the no-longer incarcerated QB denies such reports.
• The Cambridge cop accused of acting racist against Harvard professor […]

So here’s something I didn’t know: You buy a lot with a house on it, and you want to completely rebuild. But instead of paying to have the house razed, you can donate it to your local fire department, who will then burn it down for practice. And you get a nifty tax deduction for […]

One of the greatest unique cultural institutions in our great nation is that of the traditional college town. America, in all its glory, is the only nation on Earth that felt the need to construct hundreds of cities that solely exist as monuments to the avoidance of responsibility and acceptance of binge drinking - and […]

Unless I’m mistaken, Iran isn’t exactly known for its thriving movie industry — they frown on all moving pictures, even the cell phone camera kind. But Ronaldo is ready to change all of that — the Brazilian soccer star has signed to appear in an Iranian movie, of which he is one of the main […]

Based on the past week, we’ve officially reached a tipping point in internet-based sports media. The Lebron James dunk video, ESPN ignoring Ben Roethlisberger’s sex assault complaint and the Erin Andrews peephole fiasco are the top sports stories of the week, and those pieces were all initially generated on the web and subsequently picked up […]

Say, remember a couple days ago when White Sox fans were whipped up in a lather about Ozzie Guillen’s decision to demote Brian Anderson instead of DeWayne Wise in order to make room for Carlos Quentin? Remember how people had gone so far as to claim racism in emails to Guillen?

(Believe it or not, […]

Let’s see: Hat on sideways? Check. Shorts in Detroit Lions colors? Check. Buxom, flag-waving, boozing bikini chicks? Yes. Sunglasses from the Ray Ban Casual Douche collection? Affirmative. Say hello to Matthew Stafford, who looks like he’s having fun in a Jethro-Bodine-way-out-of-his-league-at-the-ceeement-pond kind of way.

Sadly, as the Lions schedule indicates, this was probably Stafford’s last opportunity […]

After Manny Ramirez passed the great Mickey Mantle for sole possession of 15th place in career home runs, the venerable Twins great and Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew told the MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE that “to see his name above Mantle’s on the list . . . that’s a shame.”

(A hero, yes, but an authority on PEDs?)
Killebrew […]

Main media criticism of ESPN has absolutely exploded over the past 48 hours, thanks to the network’s decision to initially not cover Ben Roethlisberger’s sexual assault charge.

(The entire main media, not just ESPN’s Pat Forde, blew off Pitino case)
The basic criticism, first lodged by Mike Florio at the ever-present PRO FOOTBALL TALK, is certainly […]

Well, all I can say is that this is a hell of a thing to learn on Twitter. Clay Travis, who covers the SEC for AOL FANHOUSE like capri pants cover Erin Andrews, is the only journalist brave enough to pose the really important question to Florida QB Tim Tebow. To wit: “Are you still […]
