• Major League Baseball without steroids is like porn without the silicone.

Just don’t blog about the subject with Raul Ibanez.
• Rodney Harrison doesn’t like how the NFL has become “soft and pansy“.
• A Fox News morning show lambasts MTV for Bruno’s ass-ault on Eminem – then does a segment with a Fox reporter doing basically [...]

The newest owner in the NFL just could be a portly individual with strong vocal chords and a problem with illegal prescription drugs. No, not Britney Spears. It’s political chatterbox Rush Limbaugh, the despot Teddy Ruxpin who has made a fortune marketing right-wing bravado like Pop Tarts (which is the only fruit he ever eats, [...]

Sports fans in St. Louis spend an inordinate amount of time telling anyone and everyone who will listen that they are the “best fans in baseball.” Unfortunately, with all the time they spent patting themselves on the back in baseball over the past few years, they didn’t notice that their football team, the St. Louis [...]

When the story broke about Dirk Nowitzki’s fiancee, Cristal Taylor, being arrested at his house on outstanding warrants, one seemingly benign detail that got us salivating was her age: 37. That told us one thing: there’s more. Women don’t turn criminally manipulative in their mid-30’s; it usually hits by puberty. So considering that Taylor’s had [...]

But that can turn veteran degenerate [...]

It’s not too often that you can manage to give up eight scores in a single half of football, especially at the NFL level. This isn’t some Washington State-USC game we’re talking about here. The St. Louis Rams somehow won a couple of games this year (including a blowout of the Cowboys), but they’re throwing [...]

Go Rays, I’m sick of the Red Sox and their new dynasty. It would kill me to see them win this game and then sweep the Phillies in the World Series, that would make it a third ALCS comeback that would lead them to a World Series sweep. Please Tampa Bay, don’t let that happen.

Hey, remember when about two weeks ago I was spouting off some amazing reasoning on why the World Series would be Los Angeles and Boston for the sole purpose of perpetuating a great storyline? Well, here’s a better one: two under-the-radar teams are the only squads remaining on the World Series Doppler. Philly’s series tickets [...]

• The New York Mets are out of the playoff picture, thanks to a late-season swoon. This is not a repeat.

• Not Ram tough: Scott Linehan is given the St. Louis toodle-oo.
