Who's #7 On The Knicks?
If you tune into tonight's preseason game between the Knicks and Maccabi Tel Aviv you might experience a bit of deja vu. With a twist. The 6'6" shooting guard will look familiar and the sweet shooting stroke will tickle both the twine and the far reaches of your memory...
Woe Is Curt Schilling
Curt Schilling took to the internets today to extol the virtues of the American League Champion Boston Red Sox. It makes me taste vomit in the back of my throat just to utter a congratulation in their direction but they deserve the honor. They got two gems from Josh Beckett, tons...
What's New In Jets Land?
Pretty big game for the Jets this weekend. The Eagles, not exactly setting the world on fire themselves, are coming to town and Chad Pennington's fighting for his job and, perhaps, his future with the Jets. I discussed this weekend's matchup and a lot more with Brian Bassett...
Today On The FanHouse
A quick link to all of my work at the FanHouse today:
Jets Woes Go Well Beyond Pennington

Two Men, Two And A Half Games
Two Yankees solidified their spots on the postseason roster and the entire team crept closer to an unlikely division title during a 12-0 rout of the Orioles. Mike Mussina, all-but-certain Game Four starter in October, threw seven shutout innings with sharpness that eluded him most...
They Can Find $36 Million For Jared Jeffries But...
Why in the world is James Dolan allowing this Isiah Thomas trial to keep moving forward? If you owned a business that was getting dragged through the mud on a daily basis in front of your customer base what would it be worth to you to make it stop? Take into account that said...
A Bronx Cheer For Me, Yankees
Yeah, I know it's been awhile. I've been wrapped up with the new gig at the FanHouse and shirking my duties to the horse that brung me. For that I'm deeply sorry and will try my best to make up for the long absence. What better place to start making up for lost...
The Greatest
I was watching PTI at the gym this afternoon and in the first four stories Wilbon and Kornheiser called something the greatest of all time. First up were the Patriots, who Tony said would go 19-0 and were the best football team of all time. Then came Devin Hester, the greatest kick...
Shelley Duncan Is A True Yankee
They say that when September rolls around rookies have graduated to an in between level of experience. Something like floor 7 1/2 in Being John Malkovich, I guess. You aren't quite a veteran but you are more than just a greenhorn. Shelley Duncan of the Yankees, for example, is...
It's Getting Tight In The Collar Out There
Tim Wakefield might want to consider throwing four wide ones the next time Frank Thomas lumbers to the plate. The Big Hurt had gone deep three times in one game before last night's game - September 15, 1996 with all three coming against the knuckleballer - and repeated the trick...
25 And 6 To 4
Last night's 8-5 win over the Orioles have the Yankees three and a half games behind the Red Sox and ahead of the Tigers by the same amount. Given their schedule edge over the gang from Detroit it's hard not to start looking ahead to October and part of that gazing includes...
What Does 2-0 Mean To You?
Every football season brings a handful of teams that win their first two games and dreams of postseason crop up in places that were just hoping for a .500 record before the season started. According to the Houston Chronicle, since 2002 41 teams have started 2-0 but only 24 of those...
Mets Lose Again
In an article on MLB.com yesterday Marty Noble quoted an unnamed Met as saying that "we play at the temperature of the manager. I know Willie cares a lot, but he's not showing it much." Mike and the Mad Dog talked about it with Paul Lo Duca yesterday and Lo Duca wouldn...
Yankees Gain But What Do Red Sox Lose
Make no doubt about it, cutting Boston's lead from 14 and a half games to a game and a half over four months is an impressive achievement. Many teams have folded the tents after a poor start and Joe Torre deserves a mountain of credit for keeping his team focused on winning and...
Mets Get Back On Track
Unlike the Red Sox the Mets really did have something to worry about if they couldn't stop their losing streak. The second place team in the NL East is guaranteed nothing by way of the Wild Card so it's really the best bet to keep a tight grip on that brass ring. After a...

"The Philadelphia Phillies are just 14 games away from becoming the first team in professional sports history to lose 10,000 games."
So if the Phillies want to celebrate this achievement in style, then yes, IT'S LIMA TIME! BELIEV DAT!
Top ten worst sports owners in history
Bryan Colangelo won the NBA Executive of the Year Award today, following in his father's footsteps and continuing the NBA's dogged persistence in giving awards to teams that get bounced from the playoffs in the first round. That got me thinking about some of the worst men to...
Catching up with Mo Vaughn
Last month Major League Baseball celebrated the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut with great fanfare. All over the country teams and players wore the number 42 in memory of the Dodger legend and in tribute to all that he meant to the game of baseball. Lost amid the festivities...
The First Grass/Clay Court Ever
How cool is this? Federer and Nadal are matching up today on a custom made tennis court. Each side will favor their respective strengths.
"Roger Federer has won 48 straight matches on grass courts, including four straight Wimbledons. Rafael Nadal has won 72 straight matches...
Jim Harbaugh, Pete Carroll and an "ugly girl."
Great article from The Feed discussing Harbaugh's war of words with Pete Carroll. In case you don't care about that, there's also a sweet story about Jim Harbaugh, "the family man" attending a party in the mid 90's.

Let's see. His spring training has included a wrist injury, cruising Craigslist for sex, and jamming out to Weird Al with his imaginary friend Farney and no, I didn't make any of that up.
I Always Forget Something When I Go To The Market
Toby Dawson, who won a bronze medal in the Torino Olympics, finally met his real father in Seoul, South Korea yesterday. Unlike most adopted children, however, Dawson wasn't given up by his parents for one reason or another. His mother lost him at a market when he was three.

The Feed put together a list of quotes from Oakland's new skipper. Ron Washington sounds like he's doing his best interpretation of Yogi Berra reading from The Art of War. Here's an example.

The NFL Goes To The Oscars
In less than 48 hours last week we found out which two teams would be playing for the Super Bowl and which five films would be trying to become the Best Picture Oscar winner. The Departed, a movie about Boston, became the perfect epitaph for the Patriots, a team from Boston and that...
