First the Fireworks, then the Milli Vanilli Chinese Girl, and now . . . Matt Lauer?

We can’t claim to be surprised by this rumor about Olympics coverage.
The fake fireworks and lip-synching Chinese girl didn’t escape our notice, so hats off to Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports (yes, we’re the only ones who call them that; no, we haven’t the slightest notion why) for going the extra step. Their heads-up journalism added this […]

Prickly Skinny Dipping and Starfish Frisbees

You probably heard about the record-breaking U.S. win in the men’s freestyle 4 x 100m relay. Impressive stuff indeed. Go Team USA!

First, we came across story about an unfortunate German fellow who went skinny […]

Tim Donaghy Pleas for Lighter Sentence?

So, you probably heard how former NBA official and gamblin’ man Tim Donaghy got sent to the pokey for 15 months for betting on games (including those he officiated, natch).
What you haven’t heard, but you will now (thanks to Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports), is that Donaghy won’t be shackled quietly. Cue the […]

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 […]

VIDEO: Justin Timberlake’s ESPY Monologue

Sure, this video of Justin Timberlake’s monologue at the ESPYs is 8m, 39s long, but he’s got some pretty chuckle-worthy impressions and miscellaneous fun—think Shaquille O’Neal’s Kobe Bryant rap and Brett Favre—going on there. Besides, we know plenty of JT fans who won’t mind.

VIDEO: Frank Caliendo as John Madden

We went to see Frank Caliendo perform on Friday, and we’ve been slap-happy-silly ever since. (Don’t worry, that’s just an expression. We haven’t actually slapped anybody
One of Caliendo’s best impersonations (and our personal fave) is of John Madden. Caliendo as Madden capitalizes on the NFL legend’s love for Brett Favre, so given all the Favre–Packers drama this […]

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.

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?
