Took this Sunday on the Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Angeles:

No sign of Lenny Dykstra, but did spot Darren Daulton detailing the rims.

As we know from our study of horror movies, it’s usually flies that congregate in places where Satan has taken up residence. That’s why I was surprised by this development — Scott Boras‘ private box at Anaheim Stadium was overrun by a giant swarm of bees today.

This brave nature photographer was no help whatsoever, so […]

In the end, Chinese Taipei met their doom in the Little League World Series the way that most vanquished teams do — due to Almond M&M’s. California kids know that you don’t pig out on tasty candy until after the game. But Taiwan was cocky, as we see below in this screencap from their dugout, […]

Jay Cutler knew that he’d have to return to Denver eventually, and that it probably wouldn’t be pretty. But the ritual burning and flushing of his old jersey? Somewhere, Cutler is looking at this photo, as a single tear rolls down his cheek. I hope you’re happy, Broncos fans.

It’s Jay Day everyone! The Bears at […]

One of the main reasons a lot of Americans don’t care for soccer is flopping. In a meritocracy like the United States that prides itself on rugged individualism and ascetic Puritan roots, the idea of gaining an unfair advantage by theatrically throwing oneself on the field at the lightest touch is abhorrent.

Oh boy, this is gonna get ugly.

As […]

Preseason NFL games are meaningless, right? Not so, good friend, not so at all. While the final scores are largely random and better indicators of who’s got better 5th string players, what happens in the first half is still vitally important for coaches - or so they’ll tell you, anyway. Moreover, it helps the team […]

Okay, it’s come to this. Football season is so close, so close. We’re willing to discuss anything and everything about it in the meantime, even if it’s guys who haven’t played in about a decade.

In this case, we’re talking about John Elway - and don’t worry, this has nothing to do with his Nude Vodka. […]

The Rich Rodriguez Era enters its second season in Michigan, and it can’t possibly be worse than the first, right? After all, going 3-9 at Michigan is like going 0-12 at most other schools and having half your team arrested for something the authorities ominously refer to as “gross horse exploitation.” So it has to […]
