I’ll Be Home for Christmas . . . In One Piece

Do you ever feel like you’re just spinning your wheels, especially at this time of year? Nobody can answer a more resounding “yes” to that than these guys in Australia(16s):

Now, lest you think it’s rather Grinch-y of us to feature pain and suffering on the blog just before Christmas, note that no one was seriously injured. 
Besides, we’re realists. […]

World Series Chew Toys

Looking for a Christmas gift for that special dog or puppy in your life? Never mind browsing the aisles in Petco for run-of-the-mill chew toys. Why not get Fido, Fluffy, or Dudley some 2007 World Series memorabilia to chomp on?
But if “the Series-winning ball pitched by Jonathan Papelbon” tops your list, you (”and your little dog, too,” she […]

Schilling Fires a Rocket

We haven’t yet touched on that White Elephant known as the Mitchell Report, but the time is right now that Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has made things interesting.
You know how Roger “The Rocket” Clemens said “nuh-uh” in response to steroid accusations? Well, our pal (and “ah, if only” dinner date) Curt Schilling blogged about it yesterday. Here’s […]

Gratitude from a Would-Be Grinch

Posting the Gossip on Sports wishlist and the follow-up to it got us thinking that maybe, just maybe, it’s time to give back. It’s below freezing here in New England, but we have the technology (i.e., a space heater) to thaw—temporarily—our normally frozen solid GoS heart. 
You see, in our last post, we begged and pleaded invited you to VOTE for Gossip […]

Rock the Vote—It’s a Close One!

The Project Blog poll usually closes on Tuesdays at noon, but . . . Host Allison Boyer has extended the voting for another day because the race is so tight (insert the inappropriate “tight” joke of your choice here). We’re duking it out for third place in the reader poll—last week we missed the bronze metal […]

The Elves are A-OK

Why? Because not only did they sway that whole naughty-nice thing in our favor (yay for payoffs!), but they’re helping us cross things off the Gossip on Sports wishlist a week early.
Undefeated Pats? Check, so far. Sure, there are two more regular season games, but that “0″ in the loss column looks too comfy to leave […]

What Happens in Vegas . . . and in Paris . . .

One sports celebrity couple is whooping it up in the City of Sin. Another is fending off infidelity rumors from the City of Lights. Who’s hot to trot, and who’s hot to trot . . . for someone else?
If you guessed Tony Parker and Eva Longoria as the Vegas partygoers, you’d be wrong. More about them […]

Big (Dinner) Plans for 2008

“Auld Lang Syne,” champagne, and ball-dropping (not that kind! Unless you come in from the cold . . .) are just a few weeks away. Know what that means, kiddos?
It’s New Year’s Resolution time! And in 2008, yours truly is aiming higher than a pre-rehab Lindsay Lohan.
The goal: To have dinner with our favorite re-signed free agents, […]

Sopranos-Style Tennis & McEnroe Tantrums

Remember those fishy match-fixing allegations that rocked the tennis world this summer? Tennis great and fab broadcaster John McEnroe thinks the Russian mob may be literally calling the shots.
“Someone may have threatened the players,” Mac suggests to the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph. ” . . . I’m guessing that could happen. That would make more sense to me than top […]
