Apologies to those that accidentally clicked the link. It appears Black Rob’s links join the group of other things about him that are gay [...]

The Fukudome Effect on the Cubs has been astronomical, according to one fan’s analysis. I don’t know how much this impact can be attributed to Kosuke, but either way the numbers are interesting. Good riddance to Jay Mariotti. You will not be missed. In fact, I would punch you in the face if I saw [...]

The actual video isn’t that funny I guess, but I just find it hilarious that Berkley is giving Jordan shit about his golf game for two reasons. 1) Barkley has the ugliest golf swing in history; and 2) You know Jordan is just steaming about this. Remember how he used to get with the Bulls [...]

According to Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times, Lindsay Lohan thinks Kyle Orton is “super-hot”.

Check out this report from the RealGM: New York Daily News – Jason Giambi and Joba Chamberlain were recently celebrating a win against the Kansas City Royals at Southern Hospitality, on Second Avenue, when a table of fans challenged them to a game of [Beer Pong] the college drinking sport. “The fans gave them a [...]

The Olympics are over. Redeem Team this , Phelps that and Usain Bolt blah blah blah. This event was covered so intensely with every single ounce of emotion squeezed from every storyline. So, really I have nothing more to add except to make sure that you check these two things out. The first is something [...]

Thanks to Danimal for sending this to us. Wow. Kyle Orton rides the train or drives his Prius. He goes “all the way green” apparently.

As reader hacocacyb said when he sent me this picture he made, “a photo speaks a bazillion words”. I don’t know much about fundamentals, but I doubt Grossman’s drop looked like this. I do like Orton more and more to manage this offense, though I don’t know if his neckbeard will be able to overcome [...]
