Boston-Atlanta: Where Head-Butting and Not Getting Tossed Happens

I'm wondering if anyone noticed that fact that, just before Game 4 (about 6 p.m.) of the Boston Celtics-Atlanta Hawks matchup the league informed Paul Pierce that he would be fined $25,000 for making a "menacing gesture" during Game 3. The "gesture" Pierce made was said by Commissioner David Stern and his patrolman Stu Jackson to be a "Blood gang [read more...]

The Roger Clemens-Mindy McCready Affair: Just another Meaningless Incident, Right?

Wallace Matthews of Newsday spoke loud and proud for what was and is white, Anglo, racist, misogynist, debauched Western culture, especially that of America. Not all white people - men and the women who abide by its precepts - but the vast majority that applauds Matthews, defends Matthews, produces work that furthers the illness, or has been brainwashed and marches [read more...]

Speed Figures Are Key Derby Handicapping Tool

According to Teri Thompson, Nathaniel Vinton, and Christian Red of the New York Daily News "sources" say Clemens had a 10-year affair with country singer Mindy McCready.

Does Detroit Really “Know What It Takes?”

"We've been here before." "We know what it takes." Those are the words out of Detroit right now. The first part is partly true. Detroit was here in the 2005-2006 playoffs against Cleveland. They appeared beaten but willed their way to a series win in seven games. But "we know what it takes?" Like last season about this time Detroit players were saying [read more...]

Josh Howard’s Near-Fatal Faux Pas

Was Josh Howard on drugs? How could Josh Howard, with his team down 2-0 to the New Orleans Hornets and Game 3 hours away, agree to go on the Michael Irvin Radio Show and reiterate to the world that he smokes marijuana during the offseason? And further, reiterate that he thinks most of the players in the league smoke pot. And [read more...]

The Win Heard ‘Round the World

Two months ago, American open-wheel racing began a healing process when the Indy Racing League, founded and led by Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation CEO, Tony George, purchased assets of the rival Champ Car World Series. The unification marked the end of a 13-year split that saw the popularity of American open-wheel racing wane and the popularity of NASCAR soar. While two [read more...]
