VIDEO: Giants Turn a Pretty Darn Cool Triple Play

It’s not quite as cool as Troy Tulowitzki’s unassisted triple play last year or (cool name alert) Asdrubal Cabrera’s one-man show earlier this month, but the San Francisco Giants‘ 5-4-3 groundball triple play still rates high on the Snazzy Fielding Scale and gets a Barry Bonds-sized gold star. Jose Castillo, Ray Durham, and John Bowker had the honors.
The Giants smoked […]

One Reason Why Men Should Wear a Cup While Traveling in Australia

Hey guys, sometimes you need equipment to protect the equipment, right?
Male athletes wearing cups for protection is nothing new, but don’t rule out the possibility of bringing the trend over to leisure activites like visiting Australia.
Huh?
Well, we can think of one unlucky fella who might endorse the trend: The guy on a roadside bathroom break who came head-to-head—well, sort of—with a snake in […]

John Tomase’s Article Bombarded With Inflammatory Comments

Yesterday we pointed out two Boston Herald articles in which some not-so-subtle readers used the comments section as a means of imploring the newspaper to help John Tomase, creator of the Pats-Rams Super Bowl Videotape Myth, do his best John the Baptist impression.
Those articles were written by Tomase’s colleagues. Wait until you see the comments […]

NBA to Wallace: “Shut Up You Mouth!”

Rocky & Bullwinkle fans might recognize that as a Boris Badinov quote, but the $25K fine the NBA slapped Rasheed Wallace with conveys pretty much the same idea.
Why? Well, the Detroit Pistons forward ripped officials and was a pottymouth to boot following his team’s Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 loss to the Boston Celtics, 106-102. (And […]

Not That Patriots Fans Hold a Grudge or Anything . . .

You know that whole Spygate thing, the one that died a slow death and then came back from the grave in the form of a Super Bowl XXXVI-St. Louis Rams-”Videotaped Practice“-Matt Walsh ghoul scarier than Tonya Harding’s memoir and Mindy McCready’s documentary combined?
And you know how the Boston Herald and wannabe hack sports writer John Tomase got […]

VIDEO: Rays’ Ballboy Makes Awesome Catch

For the sake of this post, we’re going to put aside our feelings about
(A) the disconcerting AL East rise of the once-wimpy Tampa Bay Rays;
(B) the equally disconcerting fact that the team is no longer the “Devil” Rays, even though it’s a slight against one of our fave ocean dwellers;
(C) the envy-generating luck of any kid who gets […]

Proof That Jessica Simpson Sings Better Than Tony Romo

Since the Jessica Simpson-Tony Romo rumors are currently favoring togetherness, posting about the starlet’s new single, Come On Over, is fair game. (We said so).
Curious? Listen to Simpson’s song on WQIK.
Warning: It’s country music. This bloggerette generally avoids country music the way LeBron James steers clear of a wedding with his baby mama (times three, supposedly), so […]

Mike Tyson: Boxing Champ, Ear Chomper, and . . . Lying Chump?

So James Toback’s documentary Tyson was all the rage at Cannes. Well, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were all the rage, but this film about Mike Tyson’s life and career did get a favorable reception and win an award.
But . . . was it full of lies?
Former Tyson manager Steve Lott claims the answer is […]

VIDEO: Danica Patrick is Cute When She’s Mad

Is it just us, or is Danica Patrick cute even when she’s mad? Maybe this bloggerette just has a soft spot for fellow petite chicks.
Anyway, Danica was none too happy about being knocked out of the Indy 500 yesterday on lap 171 by Ryan Briscoe.  The pit exit dust-up—for which Briscoe is not apologetic—literally led to the […]

VIDEO: A Goldfish That “Plays” Sports

When you think “pets who do tricks,” you usually think of dogs, birds, hamsters, and cats.
Don’t laugh about that last one. We taught The Katz a few things, such as how to sit on our pillow at 5:30am until we get up to feed them. OK, maybe we didn’t teach them that, but it’s still […]
