Predictably, Jason Whitlock has offered up his take on the Erin Andrews fiasco . I don’t like Jason Whitlock. I actually think he’s a gifted writer, but he’s just a pot-stirrer. It bothers me to no end that such a controversial-for-the-sake-of-controversy personality can be considered legitimate. Whitlock carefully crafts an image that he’s a level-headed champion of truth, scrawling late into the night in his notebook of superior reason. However, the picture of Jason Whitlock is more likely... Read Full Story

I found this clip via Awful Announcing and it first appeared on TheMikeFrancesa . I watch Francesa on a near-daily basis, so I’m familiar with his attempts to feign knowledge on a wide range of subjects. He does this so often that there is an entire fake list of his areas of expertise (excerpted below the video). As many of you may know, Francesa doesn’t know a thing about technology. He used to sit in the studio with the newspaper — you know, the one printed on actual paper — in front of him... Read Full Story

Clinton Portis has been known to wear costumes and wigs.  So I can’t say I was surprised to see the pictures of his new style.  As originally posted on Mister Irrelevant , the pictures are about a month old but have just surfaced.  CP26 has certainly hopped up out da bed and turned his swag on.  Mister Irrelevant attributed the look to Sisqo’s style, but I like to think it was inspired by Simon Phoenix as played by Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man. Always bet on blonde This swag is... Read Full Story

Most hockey players have a mean streak that they leave on the ice. The others are largely unstable. Included in this group of goons are former University of North Dakota defenseman Joe Finley and current forward Matt Frattin. Finley was a first round pick in the 2005 NHL draft and recently attended the Washington Capitals’ development camp. Hilariously, he was interviewed and commented about the maturity attending North Dakota gave him. That was until this Tuesday when the dudes decided to... Read Full Story

I like watching the Mets, but this year they’ve having been less than amazing. Luckily, the SNY crew of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling has been picking up the slack while the Mets stink it up on the field. Recent acquisition Jeff Francoeur was the latest Mets outfielder to be victimized by a baseball. I wasn’t watching the game, so I don’t know the context of this play… but a picture is worth a thousand words. Via TheSportsHernia : It appears as if Francoeur is defending... Read Full Story

Stephon Marbury is a man of many words.  Typically, he strings them together to creates statements that make little sense.  One of my favorite examples is when he appeared to be drunk on Mike’d Up and even answered his cell phone during the taping.  Since then, he’s also done an interview at a bus stop.  Most recently, Starbury took the time to connect with his fans (?) by using UStream.TV.  There’s really no way to preface the insanity below.  Read on… Bong hits for everyone!

Taylor Mattingly does not enjoy being insulted by text message. He proved this by going insane on his mother this week. Apparently, Mattingly received a text and promptly went to her house so he could tear it apart. Taylor Mattingly was a 42nd round draft pick by the New York Yankees in 2003. He quit baseball due to nagging shoulder problems. Via TMZ : The son of former New York Yankees star Don Mattingly was arrested in Evansville, Indiana yesterday after cops say he shoved his poor...
