If there’s one person I trust to be an arbiter on classy behavior and good sportsmanship, it’s Jay Mariotti. Our nation’s foremost user of hair products proved that most dramatically in August of last year when he resigned from the Chicago Sun-Times, daggering everyone at the paper on his way out, smearing verbal feces on [...]

As The Duke was so kind to inform us all of this morning in the Speed Read, Adam “Pacman” Jones was cut by the Dallas Cowboys yesterday after a story on ESPN talked about his supposed involvement in a shooting outside an suburban Atlanta strip club back in June 2007.

According to the story, while no [...]

Boston, Cleveland and Orlando were a combined 82-17 headed into yesterday. The North Carolina Tar Heels and the White Gritty Hearty Tyler Hansbroughs, a subset of UNC, were a combined 13-0. And they all lost to the Knicks, Wizards, Raptors, and Boston College. A matching game might be fun, but sadly all winners and losers [...]

Let’s face it: there haven’t been a ton of great decisions made at FANHOUSE lately. Their site portal was a disaster, with tech issues that lasted for weeks, their fantasy football ads were kind of prostitute-y, and then there’s the Fantasy Sports Girls fiasco. That’s where those girls – who, shall we say, weren’t quite [...]

Hildebrand, who is old enough to remember much worse economic conditions than these and the Cubs’ last World Series title, threw out the first pitch yesterday. It also [...]

It’s been just about three weeks since Jay Mariotti “resigned” from his columnist gig at the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, and they’ve been an odd three weeks for Chicago sports fans. Without Mariotti telling them why all Chicago teams suck, fans are actually enjoying their team’s division races in baseball, and there is even some optimism about [...]
