The NFL Coaches’ Halloween Party

Caesar’s request in the comments section of the previous post reminded us about something. We meant to announce that there will be a Halloween Party for the NFL coaches tomorrow. (’Cause they check with us regarding their social calendars, of course).
As with all costume parties, this one is fraught decisions about what to wear. There’s a good chance […]

Even Cats Use Louisville Sluggers

This animation clip (1m, 26s) made me laugh out loud—they like it when I do that at work, really—and thus earned a spot on the blog. But what do cats waking up their owners have to do with Gossip on Sports?
The rationale is a stretch, but that’s par for the blog anyway. I managed to […]

Let the Smugfest Begin!

The previous post was, of course, in jest. In case you missed the many, many, many references to the Red Sox in recent weeks, you might want to visit this, that, and the other thing from the archives. A glance at those posts should put you on the fast-track to the ‘tude we cop around here. (And […]

Slow Day in Sports?

Hmm . . . Monday is usually a great day to blog about sports. My apologies, but I’m having trouble finding any Gossip on Sports foddah today. *inserts tongue very, very firmly in cheek*
Oh, The Bee tells me there was some kind of baseball game on last night involving the Red Sox. How did that slip […]

Borat is No Randy Moss

. . . but hey, we give him credit for trying to learn [American] football.
If you want a chuckle during halftime (or, you know, before the watching the Sox kick tush and sweep Game 4 of the World Series), check out our favorite fake Kazakhstani learning a new sport—and naturally, tying it in with “something he […]

Veggies & Beef, Baseball & Football

American Idol winner Carrie Underwood will be singing the national anthem for Game 3 of the World Series in Colorado tonight. Conveniently enough, we have something to say about that. Oh, we know you’re surprised. Go ahead, pick up your jaw off the floor discreetly. We won’t look.
Underwood as the songbird adds to the head-scratching irony of national anthem decisions […]

For Those of You Who Are ANNOYED with Red Sox Nation

Which of course would be .  .  .  not us, not unless we were in self-flagellation mode. (New to harming yourself? See the albino monk in The Da Vinci Code for self-flagellation tips and tricks).
Anyway, because we’re good like that, we’re going to share with you a PSA (a Public Service Announcement like the golf […]

Free Tacos For Everyone. Really!

Yes, we’re happy campers today for at least three reasons. First, the Red Sox took the second game of the World Series, 2-1. Second, it’s Friday, the best day of the week for goofing off at work tying up loose ends on various work-related projects. Third, we—the collective “we,” as in, “We, the People of the […]

Three Signs That the Planets Aligned for Boston

In case you haven’t heard, the Red Sox blew away the Rockies 13-1 in Game 1 of the World Series. (Again, Josh Beckett’s ex, a.k.a Cleveland’s Star-Spangled Singer of choice, was a no-show). Red Sox Nation is ecstatic but smartly withholding the smug—it’s only been one game. 
That being said, there were at least three signs that the […]

Jason Kidd Handles More Than Basketballs

New Jersey Nets All-Star Jason Kidd got called for a “reach.” Normally that’s a run-of-the-mill foul . . . unless it happens in a nightclub instead of an NBA game and to a woman instead of a ballhandler.
Kidd hasn’t exactly earned a reputation for class and refined manners, due in part to a bitter divorce battle in which […]
