New_york_knicks_ed28
Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump. It’s still trying to convince his girlfriend to adopt the plus-one system. That handball against Ireland was among the greatest screwjobs of all time. Rumors and Rants. I’m only linking this video of...

MUSICAL GUEST: LOS COLORADOS

Since I took over the blog in February, I’ve been trying to come up with a fun way to signal the end of the posting day. Something that would jump out and say, “You are now free to move about the rest of the internet.” Something bloggy, but not necessarily sports-related. And then I saw [...]

PALACE BRAWL WAS 5 YEARS AGO TODAY

It was five years ago to the day when the NBA finally got gangsta. The melee that broke out in the Palace of Auburn Hills came off to some as simply mind-blowing television. Others interpreted it as a message on the state of a Jordan-less NBA. This is a disgrace. The fact of the matter is [...]

The UFL game that was scheduled in Los Angeles tomorrow has been cancelled, according to a report from the LA Daily News. The Las Vegas Something’ruthers were slated to take on the New York Whatchamacalits at the Home Depot Center, a soccer stadium, but that game has since been...

BUCKEYES SWIM IN THEIR OWN PEE

This has been everywhere today–just like Pauly’s mom–but as an Ohio State alum, I feel compelled to weigh in. First of all, I never swam in Mirror Lake, because they hadn’t renovated that area of campus before I graduated. They hadn’t drained the lake...

IT’S A VERY RAVEN WEDDING

The first thing I thought when I saw this was, “Hey, shouldn’t the bride be wearing a white jersey?” And then I thought, “Well, no. She should actually be wearing an entire wedding dress.” But I don’t know if this was just a reception thing or if...

IS THIS TEBOW’S ‘GIRLFRIEND?’

A lot of people are pretty sure that the woman in this image on the left is the same as the woman on the right, but I’m not sure that I buy it. For one thing, I don’t know how Tebow’s original “girlfriend” could get by without the “support”...

CHRONICLES OF THE WHINY ATHLETE

I don’t think people get bent out of shape simply from a professional athlete complaining about life to the media. Actually, lots of fans out there can appreciate the humanity of it all, provided that the athlete in question is qualified to speak for his team. But what really...

“Alright men! We’ve got a good little gadget here for the goalline. Garrett, you’re gonna fake the handoff to the tailback, then toss the ball over your head like a big sissy. Joel, when everyone else is playing the run, you’re gonna catch that big Nancy pass...

‘IT WAS A HANDBALL’

Two things I hate to see: Irishmen getting upset and the French getting something they didn’t earn. Yesterday in World Cup qualifying, both events occured. With France playing Ireland for the right to advance to the world cup, the whole thing went to pot in the 105th minute....

SAINT ANDREW’S NET: PUNTE 360

Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link pile. Before it walked into the garage, it turned to its 19-year-old girlfriend and uttered, “I’ll be right back.” It’s that Nazi-dinosaur mashup for which you’ve been pining. Welcome RoboPanda...

MUSICAL GUEST: BLOOMINGTON BROS.

Since I took over the blog in February, I’ve been trying to come up with a fun way to signal the end of the posting day. Something that would jump out and say, “Okay, douchebags. Time to go outside and engage the rest of the world.” Something bloggy, but not necessarily...

TMZ: HULK ATTACK WAS REAL, BRUTHA

Just about everyone that saw the Aussie presser of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan engaged in fisticuffs just though, “Yep, those two are at it again.” Even when photos of a bloodied Hulkster surfaced on line, nobody really thought of it as anything other than “business...

LEAVE ELIZABETH LAMBERT ALONE

Most of us remember that women’s soccer video where that aggressive New Mexico player punched and hair-pulled her way into America’s hearts. Now that player, Elizabeth Lambert, is doing her best to quell the uprising indignation emanating from the media, and not just from...

OMG AL CY YOUNG!

Mlb_may_04_05a3
We’re now in the phase of the MLB season where the leagues glacially roll out their post-season awards; and we were moderately tickled to see Kansas City Royals ace and object of female WL readers’ affection Zack Greinke scoop up the AL Cy Young Award after one of the best...

HOCKEY PLAYER GOES OUT ON TOP

I also thought about “My Bum Is On The Swedish” for the title of this post, but (a) it’s a incredibly dated ref and (b) you can’t really tell from the image that this dude falling through the glass after scoring a goal is actually Swedish. For one thing, he...

LEBRON SAYS HE COULD HELP THE BROWNS

Picture_3
NBA superstar LeBron James was asked about the 1-7 Cleveland Browns last night, and technically speaking, they’re his hometown team. But James wasn’t necessarily upset upset about Eric Mangini or the direction of the team. He just wishes that he could help. “If I...

COLLEGE BASKETBALL STARTED

We’re about a week into the season for college hoops, we’ve already had a dramatic last-second win and, after last night, a scare for the consensus No. 1 team. Memphis took No. 1 Kansas the distance last night, just coming up short in a dramatic 57-55 loss. I mean, I guess...

DICK JAURON GOT FIRED ON A TUESDAY

On Sunday, Titans owner Bud Adams showed him the bird. Earlier today, Bills owner Ralph Wilson showed him the door. Dick Jauron was officially fired today as head coach of the Buffalo Bills. This is the same coach that fired his offensive coordinator in the preseason and still hadn...

TOPLESS DUDE FIGHTS…SORT OF

So loyal reader Upstate Underdog sends in a link to this clip with an email that reads, “Not really sports related, but watching a chubby shirtless guy getting [knocked out] is always fun to watch.” Yes, Mr. Underdog. Yes it is. And if anyone out there can explain the belt...

THE BENGALS SIGN LARRY JOHNSON

Cincinnati_bengals_v_36f0
Larry Johnson signed a one-year deal with the Bengals earlier today. Johnson said he was just happy for the opportunity blah blah blah. Nobody really seemed surprised that it was the Bengals that picked up Johnson, considering that (a) Cedric Benson is hurt and (b) Johnson is kind...

$250,000
