While many NBA fans—this Boston-loving blogerette included—are excited about the fact that the Celtics are going to win the Celtics–Lakers rivalry breathes again, many are also noticing the big white elephant in the room: Tim Donaghy. Actually, since he was a ref, it’s more like the big zebra in the room, but you get the […]

One day you’re a pop diva throwing out the first pitch at a ballgame in Japan, the next you’re still a pop diva . . . . but now the Kansas City Royals want to sign you.
Welcome to the world of Mariah Carey as told by Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas over there at the always […]

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 […]

Former figure skaters are certainly making their mark on the pop culture scene this week. First we had memoir-hawking Tonya Harding, whose 15 minutes of fame was over so long ago they used a sundial to keep track of it. And then we had Kristi Yamaguchi as the Dancing With the Stars winner (and Ex-Miami […]

IRL driver Danica Patrick got into a much-publicized accident last week when her car struck a crewman from another team during Indy 500 practice. It was pretty head-scratching and had an overall air of “WTF?” because let’s face it, Danica’s been around the track a few times.
But it all makes sense now, thanks to Frank Coffey […]

Exciting news here at Gossip On Sports!
Veteran broadcaster and all-around sports media guy Ed Berliner runs the Speeding Bullet Network, a multimedia site (webcasts and audio clips) dedicated to what’s hot—or not—in the sports. Ed recently invited yours truly to take part in the fun, so once a week or so I’ll be dishing up […]

MLB.com/Entertainment did one of those hilarious posts we wish we thought of first. Alas, the next best thing is to throw a little link love their way for coming up with a list of the Top 9 Hairdos of 1970s Baseball Cards. Man perms, bushy hair, plastered sideburn curly-Q thingys . . . it’s all there in […]

Yay for commenters who leave fun things for us to post! Last month we posted about Brandon Marshall, the Denver Broncos wide receiver who had a McDonald’s wrapper mishap. (We also did a follow-up to Marshall’s slip-and-fall and subsequent arm laceration). Reader “boltvolt” recently left us a YouTube link in that post and observed how this 2-year-old […]

We’re just not that into South Park. However, we are into making fun of people—even some of our favorite sports figures. (Here’s looking at you, Bill Belichick. But we wear the hoodie, so you’ll forgive us for this, right?)
Kudos to reader Prospero for giving us a heads up about this one: A South Park clip (1m, […]

Sigh. The New York Yankees took the fun out of the would-be curse by retrieving the t-shirt buried (by a Boston Red Sox fan) in the concrete of the new stadium—although they get a gold-star for donating the proceeds to a Boston-area charity. Still, here are four reasons they should have let sleeping clothes lie.
