Greg Norman, Chris Evert End 15-Month Marriage

Well, that was quick. Only 15 months after tying the knot, Greg Norman & Chris Evert have untied it.

(And they said it wouldn’t last. And they were right!)
The golf champ & tennis star, both 54, were engaged in South Africa in December in 2007 and married in the Bahamas the following June. But their union […]

Whicker, Blount: Brothers In Alarm Both Pardoned

Today Oregon announced it was going to probably rescind its season-long suspension of right-cross-impaired LeGarrette Blount.

Based on Blount’s questionable behavior before the Boise State game ever occurred, I didn’t have a problem with Ducks Coach Chip Kelly ’suspending’ Blount for the season. I also think it’s reasonable to rescind the suspension if Blount has shown […]

Playoff Proponents’ PAC Pushes Political Priorities

Hey, it’s a Friday. Fridays are for alliteration.
It’s pretty obvious at this point that politicians don’t listen to people’s concerns just based on their merits. Part of the reason is that it’s impossible to balance the individual needs of their ever-numerous constituents, and part is that there’s really no money in doing things that way, […]

Yet More Sad Agriculture-Related Football Violence

I don’t know what it was like when you went to agricultural high school, but when I attended, it was all about the agriculture. None of this all-out, bench-clearing brawling at football games. I mean, really. Is that any way for future farmers and plant health researchers to act?

The Mississippi High Schools Activity Association is […]

Miked-Up Mediasaurus Napalmed Into Stone Age

Apparently WFAN-AM’s Mike Francesa spent one of the 27 consecutive live hours of his daily show (live from Queens!) ripping into ESPN.com columnist Bill Simmons. Called him a “stooge” and a “fraud.”

In the old days, if Simmons was a newspaper columnist, he’d have very little recourse. Back when Francesa mattered to under-54s outside the Tri-State, […]

The 2016 Olympics: Welcome To The City Of Jesus

Although things aren’t too cheerful at the White House right now, there’s much banging of percussion instruments and dancing the Samba in other parts of the world over Rio de Janeiro’s choice as host of the 2016 Olympic Games. Exotic beaches. Beautiful women. These guys. It’s gonna be the world’s biggest party, right?

Well, maybe, but […]

HIPSTER RED ALERT: Chicago 2016 Shirts On Sale

If you’ve got a healthy sense of irony and a sh*theel streak a mile long, we’ve got sensational news for you. As you’ve likely heard, Chicago was axed from Olympic consideration this afternoon as the IOC tabbed Rio for the 2016 games. Thongs and drugs ahoy! What does that mean for you, hipster? Only a […]

Rio de Janeiro Gets The 2016 Summer Olympics

Just gone official. Good for them.

(Why do I have formerly jaded Oly-attending media members will be there?)
Pretty astonishing there’s never been an Olympic Games in South America to this point. That may have been the final, driving force in the decision. (At least I hope it was.)

(Somehow IOC was able to avoid the rapturous allure […]
