Roger Clemens’ Agent Says, “Nuh-Uh”

Randy Hendricks, agent to Roger Clemens, can now add “Defender of the Rocket” to his business card.
Hendricks released an 18,000-word statistical report today in response to former trainer Brian McNamee’s allegations that the would-be Hall of Famer jumped on the steroid bandwagon. Fortunately, we’ve taken the time to decode and summarize the whole shebang for […]

LeBron James Injures a Trash Can

Tom Brady isn’t the only athlete we can talk about when it comes to boots. LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers was filmed actually giving the boot (yay for YouTube and German announcers!) to an inconveniently located—and quite likely sore today—trash can on Friday night.
Losing to the Phoenix Suns 110-108 thanks to a Shawn Marion […]

Tom Brady, Bootless Quarterback

Did you hear that? It was the sound of every New England Patriots in the world fan heaving a very deep sigh of relief. Now listen closely. Did you hear that, the expletive-filled rush of noise? That’s the sound of every New York Giants and/or anti-Patriots fan cursing the quarterback.
We’re happy—no, make that ecstatic—to report […]

The Mannings Like Their Oreos

Just when we thought it was safe. With Peyton Manning’s season over, we hoped and prayed thought we’d seen the last of the Indianapolis Colts QB and his never-ending commercials.
But no. The Powers That Be on Madison Avenue merely tossed brother and Super Bowl contender Eli Manning of the “giddy” New York Giants into the […]

When Evil Empires Collide

Our New England-based feelings about the New York Yankees are, perhaps, the worst-kept secret on the blog. Why, just yesterday we managed to reference them (courtesy of the handy “strikethrough” feature) as the Evil Empire.
And now, thanks to LeBron James’s Nike gig, we face a metaphysical sports question: What happens when evil empires (i.e., the […]

Top 10 Answers to the Question, “Where is Tom Brady?”

Chuck Knoblauch isn’t the only athlete who’s gone MIA. The buzz in New England—and by “buzz” we mean “it was ‘breaking news’ on every station here for about 12 hours”—was Tom Brady’s no-show status at practice for the second day in a row.

Brady’s teammates, not to mention Coach Bill Belichick, joked around with the oh-so-curious press concerning […]

Chuck Knoblauch on the Run

Steroid Abuse Scandal 1, Chuck Knoblauch 0
Roger Clemens is fighting back. Andy Pettitte ‘fessed up. And Chuck Knoblauch is rounding the bases . . . but has yet to go home. To Houston. To collect his subpoena.

Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson to Sing a Duet?

File this under H for Hope It Isn’t True For the Sake of All Footballdom.
Or, file it under M for “Man, Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson are a Gift to Sports Gossip Bloggers Everywhere.”

Remember the “reason” Jinxy Jessica skipped the playoff game of her favorite Dallas Cowboys quarterback? She was busy recording her new country album.
Tony Romo will […]

Cast-Less Tom Brady Wades Through Paparazzi

We’re delighted to see the TMZ.com video showing Tom Brady without a cast (1m).
We’re in California right now. No, not to rub in the AFC win to San Diego Chargers fans (even if yours truly did wear the Bill Belichick hoodie on the plane). Anyway, if we listen closely, we can almost here the collective “Phew!” from New England.
And […]

Diehard Fan Gets Helmet Head Tattoo

When we look at Tom Brady in a New England Patriots helmet, a variety of thoughts come to mind. Getting a head tattoo of said helmet, even if we were bald instead of blonde, wouldn’t be one of them.
Sometimes, the YouTube clips speak for themselves, and there’s not a whole lot we need to add (besides the […]
