For the Athlete Who Has Everything, a $1M Swimming Pool (We’re Lookin’ at You, Gilbert Arenas)

One of the snarky themes on this blog** is the joke that celebrities—professional athletes included—are “just like us.” *giggles* See? We can’t even type that with a straight face.
Last week we used Jessica Simpson to illustrate that point. Today, Gilbert Arenas has the honors. Somehow, this Washington Wizard conjured up a staggering $111M contract (yes, that’s […]

Pats Fans Still Trashing John Tomase in the Comments Section; Hilarity Ensues

Sometimes the blog posts just write themselves and yours truly is just the pop culture medium through which they flow. It’s like The Others, except Nicole Kidman isn’t involved, there aren’t any kids who have to stay out of the light, and it’s only scary around here when we talk about Danica Patrick’s temper.

When Your Tennis Career Isn’t Impressive, Pose for Playboy

You’ve got a killer bod but your tennis career isn’t quite taking off. What’s an atheltic hottie to do?

Brett Favre’s Cell Phone Messages

Yes, we heard the latest rumor about Brett Favre talking to the New York Jets, and no, we don’t know why he’d want to go play for Eric “Don’t I Look Like Frosty the Snowman” Mangini. (Don’t mind us. We’re just New England Patriots fans, which means our post-Spygate feelings for the portly coach are about as […]
