One of the most jarring aspects of the Stanley Cup finals, other than the ease with which the Red Wings dispatched the Penguins on Sunday night to push the series to 3-2, has been NBC’s hardball with fans in Detroit and Pittsburgh. For the duration of the playoffs, both teams have been able to hold [...]

PROTIP: If you’re trying to determine whether a lady is actually, y’know, a lady (and let’s face it, we’ve all been there), you may not be looking for the right signs. Ladies can have manhands, Adam’s apples, or even hairy chests.* The key is to look at the structure the hips and legs; men’s legs [...]

If we told you Sir Elton John was a baseball fan, how would you respond? Is it really that surprising? After all, there’s nothing in The Gay Manifesto: How All Gay People Act All The Time (this book, by the way, doesn’t exist – for many, many reasons) that says gay people can’t like sports [...]

Hey, it looks like Brett Favre is not going to have surgery anytime soon, and…you know what, I’m not even going to pretend to give a crap about any of this anymore. So let’s talk about something else, like the Mets going full-on Chico’s Bail Bonds last night at Dodger Stadium.

Luckily for the Mets, the [...]

Normally he just drops f-bombs on live television, but Minnesota Twins analyst Bert Blyleven’s going to embarrass himself in a different fashion on a live broadcast tonight at the Metrodome.

(Can’t he just bring this shirt back and wear it on the air instead?)
Blyleven, whose father died of Parkinson’s Disease a few years back, is [...]

After turning a blind eye for so many years, Major League Baseball is finally taking a stand and doing something about a horrible blight that’s been a blemish on their sport for much too long. Of course I’m talking about players pulling their pants over their cleats.

(Denard Span [L] & Alexi Casilla [R] – keep [...]

You’d think Twins fans would think a little more fondly of former catcher A.J. Pierzynski, even if he does now play for a division rival. After all, he played hard for six years in Minnesota, and it’s not like he left – he was traded. Even better, he was traded for Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano [...]

• Ricky Williams really wanted to get high during the Dolphins’ bye – but the RB had the strength to spike such smoky thoughts.

• The Steelers & Ravens really played some smashmouth football Monday night – along with smashed legs, smashed shoulders, smashed knees, etc.
• Oakland Raiders assistant Randy Hanson says Lane Kiffin was trying [...]

How big is tonight’s game between the White Sox and Twins in Chicago? So big that all of the fans are being encouraged to show up wearing the same color. Because, as we all know, that always works:

Ladies of Chicago, break out that pea coat you haven’t worn since 2003 ’cause it’s a blackout night [...]

The baseball gods (or MLB’s broadcasting office) just don’t want this season to end. Because the AL Central is still up for grabs, the Chicago White Sox had to face the Detroit Tigers in a make-up game at US Cellular Field on Monday. The scenario was simple – White Sox win, Twins come to town [...]
