Two weeks into the NFL preseason schedule, my tivo has been working hard to process as many of the NFL Network's rebroadcasts of preseason games as it can. And just as the third preseason week is about to begin, so too will the bulk of many fantasy football drafts. So since girlfriends, boyfr......

• It takes a lot of beer to be a fat toad. Twenty in fact. Former New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu was arrested Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a bartender after drinking 20 mugs of beer, a police official said. Irabu, 39, became angered after his credit card was rejected. He the......

(This is the last of the pre-Hood To Coast entries. We hope to have time/energy to post from the road during the race.) It wasn't supposed to be this way. It wasn't supposed to be a tribute to anything but the organization and logistical prowess of a group of internet strangers. It wasn't sup......

(Editor's Note: Because the author is competing in Hood To Coast next week this entry is being posted one week early.) Once upon a time, The Sports Frog had a feature called The Big Bet. The idea was every day one of the Frog's writers would pick a single game to bet on and then post the result......

The start of the college football season is 10 days away and while it still feels like an eternity, the light is at the end of the tunnel. That means it's time for a wild guess as to the preseason Top 25. The Sports Frog continues to participate in the college football Blogpoll Top 25. At th......

Welcome to AB's Running Blog! Well, maybe it just seems that way as we make a final push to Hood To Coast 2008. It's close enough to taste, and believe me, if you've ever licked the back of a collective someone who has just run 197 miles non stop, you'll know that it is not a taste that can be ......

TommyBoy and Brian were the masterminds of our team. They took the time to crunch the numbers and come up with the running order that would be best for the team. After about seven minutes it was pretty clear to see that TommyBoy likes spreadsheets. He has a tatoo of an empty pivot table on his......

If boybleu is blowing his horn, you best get out of his way, because he's headed to next exchange point. There is something to be said about a guy who, having run the event in the past, is smart enough to volunteer to drive instead. All of the camraderie, none of the shin splints. What we're......

This is all his fault, really. He tricked us with his promise of booze and brotherhood. Then, once we had committed, casually mentioned that, oh yeah, we have to run 197 miles first. We should have known he was lying; he also claims to play soccer weekly in Alabama, which is obviously an outri......

Now how could I forget fair Dave? Maybe because he's neither running nor driving, but rather just showing up for the fun parts? A real team player, that Dave. OOOH, I'll just show up when it is convenient for me. How does that fit your schedule? If he complains about his knees aching he is l......

I guess I could put some joke in here about saving the best for last, etc., but I won't. Or maybe I just did. Anyway, I was too humbled to write my own bio, so I solicited help from the Subject of our first profilee, SL22. Without further ado: AB! The Osiris of this race! AB is here for runni......

SpongeLikeNinja is a punk. I'm positive that when he goes into litigation situations, he goes in with an Armani Suit with the sleeves ripped off (because cutting them off isn't punk enough) and a pink spike mohawk with a studded dog collar around his neck. What else would you expect from an ass......

We did have twelve runners from The Swamp at one point. For one reason or another, good (JoeyClams, PresidentCerrano, GovementChedda, Brainbo) or bad (Bronto - pinnacle of health my ear), like it or not, some had to drop out. Thusly, we have had to scramble to find runners to fill their spots. ......

Brian knows pain. Brian knows the pain of going long distances, hoping to finish strong. Brian knows how hard is to often start out wonderfully, only to hit the proverbial wall and screech to a halt. Brian knows the pain of constant toil, knowing that the only thing in the future is another di......

you'll have to pardon me on this one but it wouldn't be right to use capital letters in this post. for years, the esteemed howard has eschewed large letters for small, and so it is that this post shall be an homage to howard's propensities. a political and pugilistic junkie (a lethal combinatio......
