Michael Barrett: animated cubs catcher.  Fought A.J. Pierzynski.  Fought Carlos Zambrano.  Now, pleads guilty to shadily videotaping Erin Andrews nude?  Yikes, glad the Cubs shipped this guy out of town!  Ok, so the guy who videotaped the hot broadcaster isn’t the same Michael Barrett who played in Chicago, but I don’t think either guy is happy to [...]

This is the kind of thing people joke about, using exaggeration for humor.  ESPN defies the doubters:
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre’s streak is not in danger: He has a bent fingernail.
Favre’s throwing hand was clearly hurting after his last throw for Minnesota in Sunday’s win over Detroit. He was hit by two defenders in [...]

You’ve probably already heard about Mark Buerhle’s perfect game, but did anyone happen to check ESPN sometime around the 7th inning? Let’s just say their math didn’t quite add up.  According to this screenshot sent to me by South Side Sheik, Buerhle had retired 23 men and had only 6 outs to go.  Hmmm, [...]

The Cubs played the Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN the other night.  As ESPN always does on those national telecasts, it broadcast many live views of Chicago landmarks.  Notice anything wrong with this one?

I’ll give you a hint, take a look at the building on the left.  It’s the Sun-Times building, right?  Well [...]

Steve Phillips of ESPN has something stupid to say about everything when it comes to baseball.  We can’t really fault him for talking about baseball, it’s his job.  We can yell at him for not doing any research and talking out of his ass though.  Don’t worry though, you don’t have to yell at him.  [...]

Busted Coverage has the 20 best signs ever to appear on College Gameday. Plenty of good stuff there.
Upon further review of further review…maybe Lebron should get that triple-double at MSG after all.
Indiana’s Devan Dumes throws elbows to the junk, gets suspended indefinitely. Somehow Indiana manages to get worse.
Lil’ Wayne will be on [...]

This video from NESW Sports is priceless. Apparently Skip Bayless said Tim Tebow is the next Brett Favre. Stephen A. Smith rips him a new one for it. You know things are bad at ESPN when I agree with Stephen A. Smith.

As in, whose brow will be part of the “Mt. Rushmore of Sports”? In case the ridiculousness of the idea didn’t give it away, this will be ESPN’s new fan-driven gimmick that we all will hate after…well, we already hate it. Awful Announcing fittingly has the release from ESPN:
SportsCenter, ESPN’s flagship news and [...]

One of the best things on ESPN’s website is the column by the Ombuds(wo)man Le Anne Schreiber. It’s her job to call ESPN on all of their crap, not to mention sift through the e-mounds of complaints that the world-wide leader receives every day. She really does a great job and I highly [...]

If you are a reader of ESPN.com (I am, reluctantly) then you know about the recent renovation of their site. Obviously there are going to be a few bugs, but pre-writing stories before the game ends? That’s pretty shady. Well they clearly did that with regards to the Bulls game last night, [...]

When I posted about Schlereth and Wiley slobbering over Tom Brady on NFL Live, I had no idea that hot NFL quarterbacks was a company-wide topic of interest for ESPN. Skip Bayless and Jemele Hill were also in on the party.
Except in this case, they made a list. Apparently this is something that [...]

My quick trip to ESPN’s site tonight yielded an interesting poll. Naturally, I voted for the top option.
I always new they were pretty self-interested, but this is a little much.

Ed Werder has essentially spent the last handful of his dorky existence covering the Dallas Cowboys. I really never liked Ed Werder, but he never really rose to the level of obnoxiousness of a Berman or a Stu Scott. However, this season Werder is pissing me off a bit. First, when the [...]

Sports coverage has changed significantly in our lifetime. A lot of it has been good, but there are some things that have gone horribly wrong. Every week I’ll be taking a little time to whine about one of these things with no hope whatsoever that anything will change.
Somehow when I think of the new deal [...]
