We knew Manny Ramirez was serious this year about wanting to be traded, based on actions and remarks like this. We also knew that the Boston Red Sox were ready to cut him loose.
At last, it’s official . . . but with a last-minute plot twist. The buzz most of the day surrounded a possible three-way deal involving the […]

Does New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick have some kind of videotape fetish?
Everyone knows about the so-called Spygate shenanigans and the fallout (including the false story on the Pats taping the Rams, for which sports writer John Tomase is still paying). But the latest rumor linking Bill Belichick to a videotape is a little less […]

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 […]

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.

Should he stay or should he go? We think he should stay. Here’s why:

You’ve got a killer bod but your tennis career isn’t quite taking off. What’s an atheltic hottie to do?
Why, pose for Playboy, of course.
We know that the heads-up about American player Ashley Harkleroad giving ol’ Hef a photographic thrill hit the media several months ago. Now that the August 2008 issue is here, we’re just tossing […]

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 […]

Is it National Brawl for the Camera Week or something? First the WNBA’s LA Sparks and Detroit Shock cleared the benches, and now a minor league team in Ohio played pigpile.
Tempers rose and fists flew between the Dayton Dragons and Peoria Chiefs of the Midwest League yesterday, with a whopping 15 players ejected along with […]

Question: Why is Jessica Simpson such an easy target for bloggers?

B. She says stupid things during interviews with magazines.
