According to a Nicaraguan newspaper, Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher Vicente Padilla didn’t exactly pull a Plaxico when he was accidentally shot in the right leg on Sunday in the town of Masaya. He was target shooting, said THE JOURNAL OF THE NICARAGUANS, which as far as I know is totally legal there.

However, there is another […]

How many attendants would you say it takes to get Memphis Grizzlies center Hamed Haddadi in and out of his car? Yep, this is his vehicle, according to photos on his Facebook page; just what I would buy if I were 7-foot-2, 280.

You expect him to any minute extend his legs out of the bottom […]

At noon today, CNBC’s Darren Rovell reported that the two were observed “cuddling” at a recent U2 concert.

Okay, no biggie. But another tennis reporter took it a step further.

Two fun facts about Sam Jones: He was almost a Laker (he was drafted by the Minneapolis Lakers, but completed his military service before entering the NBA); and he played on 10 championship Celtics teams. Yep. More than Larry Bird, John Havlicek, or any other Celtic, besides Bill Russell.

The amazing thing about Belgian bodybuilding champ Sarah De Herdt — besides the fact that she has pulled off the rare track & field-slash-bodybuilder-slash-porn star trifecta — is that she publicizes her workouts, and evidently attracts quite a crowd. In fact, the next one is expected to draw in excess of 20,000 people.

I had heard […]

It’s come to this for Tim Floyd: Out of coaching, Herm’s Perm and SBNation tells us that Floyd was recently seen hanging out at a crappy (Morongo) casino foodcourt on a lonely stretch of highway hours outside of Los Angeles. And then this happened:

There’s got to be an explanation for this. Perhaps he was there […]

The Dallas Mavericks recently visited the Staples Center for a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, one that the Mavs won 93-84. Drew Gooden was in street clothes for the game, sidelined with a rib injury, which meant that he wasn’t as readily able to tune out hecklers as a player in the game would. […]

And now, more punchy fun involving the Oakland Raiders, this time without Tom Cable. You may remember Jeremy Brigham (below) as a tight end for the Raiders from 1998-2001 (if so you have a good memory — he scored three career touchdowns). He now lives in the peaceful, leafy Northern California enclave of Pleasanton, where […]
