Note: Get off Torii Hunter’s Back

Note to the press: Get the fuck off Torii Hunter’s back. All of you, mainstream or otherwise know exactly what Hunter meant when he called dark-skinned Latin MLB players “imposters.” Guess what, punks. They’re imposters – no, IMPOSTERS. Wanna know why? Because punk-ass folk like you attempt to use these dark-skinned Latin players to say baseball has its share of Black players [read more...]

Of the Sports Godhead Network and Tiger Woods (of ESPN and public and not-so public lynchings)

Ever wonder what his young mind was really thinking about being thrust into the public's eye at age, before anyone will even listen to him? Thursday afternoon, Steve Bunin hosting Outside the Lines, asked this question about Tiger Woods’ pending Friday at 11 A.M. press conference: And isn’t opening himself up to a roomful of reporters and taking their questions for an [read more...]

The Tiger Woods Press Conference – and, Of the Sports Godhead Network and Tiger Woods (of ESPN and public and not-so public lynchings)

Ever wonder what his young mind was really thinking about being thrust into the public's eye at age, before anyone will even listen to him?

Do they feel like assholes now? Probably not. And [read more...]

An All-White Basketball League? And It Isn’t Racist?! With an Important Don Lewis Addendum

'And now, your AABA East All-Stars!' A little over one month ago an Outside the Lines segment featured Kyle McAlarney.

Mark McGwire: A Peek Behind the Veil of Former Slugger’s “Admission” of PED Guilt

A not-quite tearful Mark McGwire during his interview with Bob Costas. So Mark McGwire is trying to throw ca-ca in the game. He didn’t use steroids to get stronger or hit more home runs, he, like Andy Pettitte used them the drug “only” to heal. But he, as did Pettitte, used HGH, too.

But, but Deadspin said they were all telling the truth!.... After three commentaries about Tiger Woods, the thought here was that the Woods issue was a done deal.

They search for new “angles” to Woods’ “transgressions” like common sidewalk [read more...]

Kyle McAlarney: Just Another Case of Keeping the White Man Down; FBS Short: More ESPN Racial Shenanigans with Charlie Strong

NFL Week 8 – Parity NFL Style: 7 Good Teams, 7 Bad Teams, 18 about.500; Replay Officials Keep Iowa In BCS Hunt

Indiana head coach Bill Lynch disputes a bad spot in the Hoosiers game against Iowa. First, kudos to ESPN for their Sunday Outside the Lines segment on Tom Cable.
