There are only five games left for the Metsùthank God. Once the 162nd game is played, we can then turn our attention to brighter and happier pastimes, such as starting petitions to get Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel fired, drinking so much tequila that we forget this season (or decade) ever happened and forming an angry mob while chasing the Mets out of town after SundayÆs game with pitchforks and ...
The Giants defeated Tampa Bay as coolly, methodically and nonchalantly as John Phillips commits incest. Tampa Bay was no match for Big Blue as the Buccaneersáplayed like they were wearing eyepatches and had peg legs and hooks for hands (though that might come in handy on defense). Bucs coach Raheem Morris summed it up best: ôWe were beat by grown men, a team we want to be like one day. ...
The San Antonio Spurs released former University standout Jack McClinton on the eve of training camp. McClinton is the all time 3-point percentage leader in ACC history and was selected by the Spurs in the second round of the 2009 NBA Draft (51st overall). He struggled in the Vegas Summer League but has the potential to light it up as he had consecutive 30-point games against Wake Forest, Duke and North Carolina. ...
Kevin Love will be this year’s version of David Lee: Love almost averaged a double-double in his rookie season (11 points and 9 rebounds). In the last 15 games of the season, he averaged 14.4 points, 10 rebounds and shot 80 percent from the foul line. For the second year player to get on Lee’s level he needs to record more steals and shoot a higher field goal percentage. The injury to Al ...
I had previously slammed Marty Appel’s book Thurman Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain for being just another Munson biography. This is probably because I didn’t get past the first three pages.
After sitting down and actually taking the time to read the book, I have to say that this is THE Munson bio. Pretty much as deep as one would want to delve into the private life ...
With ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball winding down for another season, their announcing team of Joe Morgan, Jon Miller, and Steve Phillips took some time to analyze the New York baseball scene for Hot Stove New York. (Note: This is a fictional conversation)
Joe Morgan: The Yankees are looking pretty good, having the best record in baseball, and they just clinched a spot in the postseason with last night’s win. But you really can’t ...
Andris Biedrins (Warriors)- Among centers last season Biedrins finished second in rebounding (11.2). He also blocked 1.5 shots a game, recorded one steal and shot 57 percent from the field. The Latvian big missed 20 games last season but did not a miss game in 06-07 and missed six in '07-08.

Giants Crash Cowboys’ Party: Win Ruins Home Opener in Dallas
Posted: 21st September 2009 by gozer in NFL
Jerry Jones threw a $1.15 billion party last night, and everybody was there—John Madden, Pat Summerall, LeBron James, one Hall of Fame Cowboy after another, as well as former President George W. Bush—but unfortunately for Dallas, so were the Giants.
Jones’ modern-day Roman Coliseum landed from outer space just in time for the game, giant scoreboard and all (and from the view from space, it’s shaped exactly like Jones’ ego), and ...
Derrick Rose—Chicago BullsDerrick Rose elevated his game in the playoffs averaging 19.7 points, 6.4 assists, 6.3 assists, and shot 49 percent from the field. During the regular season, he finished ranked 17th in assists (6.3), along with .2 three-pointers per game, and .8 steals per game.He is a dynamic point guard with great speed and strength but did not have a great fantasy season. For him to jump into the ...
When we last saw the Jets, the comedy team of Eric Mangini and Brett Favre were sabotaging the season.
Favre confessed that he had a torn biceps tendon, but he’s just covering up for his arm—it wasn’t torn, it was drunk. The team was even fined for the subterfuge.
New and improved coach Rex Ryan gave a pregame speech to remember, which basically boiled down to this: Win one for Richard Todd.
And ...
