The NEW YORK POST reports that two Major League Baseball investigators met with Jose Canseco during a reading Wednesday of his new stirring bildungsroman “Vindicated” at the Barnes and Noble in midtown Manhattan, which was just coincidentally a few blocks down from their office.

“A baseball source said yesterday they wanted to open a line of [...]

Lost in the odd remark yesterday that Alex Rodriguez made about his daughters marrying Andy Pettitte in order to laud the pitcher’s so-called truth telling about his HGH use was an assertion A-Rod made that he was tested for PEDs “9 or 10 times last season.” Problem is, that number of tests in one year [...]

DEADSPIN finds this amusing anecdote on Matt Mosley’s HASHMARKS (MyESPN!) about Wade Phillips losing his keys after Dallas lost to the Giants yesterday: “I watched Phillips wander into the training room and lean on his mammoth left tackle, Flozell Adams. He sort of collapsed into Adams, who looked a bit startled. Phillips was greeted outside [...]

THE SPORTING NEWS has been on life support for some time now, something we’re sure you’re unaware of, because you’re probably unaware that The Sporting News still exists. Paul Allen bought the mag a few years ago and tried to expand the brand. His company, Vulcan, failed miserably and eventually sold the whole shooting match [...]

We’ve generally found NFL.com pretty worthless from an editorial standpoint, since those churning out the content either work for the NFL or the individual teams. So the stories you’re likely to get are akin to something out of a high school student newspaper.

THE BOSTON HERALD laughs at news of the local sports cable channel trying their hand at humor.

(Dice K’s yuking it up already)
“NESN Comedy All-Stars” is hoping hilarity will ensue for Boston fans this summer. The program will feature no-name local comedians doing sports-themed stand-up routines, taped in front of a live audience (tickets still available!), [...]

• The BIG LEAD has a posting from a Florida State sports fansite that claims students who skip class will have their FSU football tickets taken away (and miss this next to you in the student section):

• Adam Rose of the LOS ANGELES TIMES reviews the entire Reggie Bush book penned by Don Yaeger, and [...]

We don’t spend much time on CBSSports.com. We adored that goofy old Sportsline logo (love the flourish!), and if you click on the CBS Sports logo on the current site to go to the home page, it redirects to Sportsline.com. But no more mention of Sportsline anywhere on the site we can find. Sad, very [...]

The low point of the NBA season was probably Tuesday night, as the teams with the worst records in the league, Miami and Minnesota, squared off in Minneapolis.

The 8-27 Heat, playing without Shaquille O’Neal and with a still-injured Dwyane Wade lost to the 5-29 TWolves 101-91. Miami, just two years removed from an NBA title, [...]

The NEW YORK POST today splashes “exclusive” next to a headline that reads “TERRY BRADSHAW SET TO RETIRE“.
One small detail. He’s not leaving after this season. Nor after next season. Or the Season after that.
He’s retiring when his contract expires after the 2011 season. Done laughing?
Does this sound a little attention-whorish on Bradshaw’s part? Or [...]
