On a Side Note: New Social “Friends” Might Be the FBI

Oh boy: The Feds are on Facebook. And MySpace, LinkedIn and Twitter, too. U.S. law enforcement agents are following the rest of the Internet world into popular social-networking services, going undercover with false online profiles to communicate with suspects and gather private information, according to an internal Justice Department document that offers a tantalizing glimpse of issues related to privacy and crime-fighting.

Mayweather, Mayweather, Sr. and De La Hoya Resort to the PED Blame Game with Pacquiao – and Blow a March 13 Fight Date

Want some? Get some. So, it’s done. There will be no March 13 fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. For Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya it came to using low-brow tactics to get under Pacquiao and an attempt to smear the Pac-Man in the press using the 21st century sports bogeyman: the specter of performance-enhancing drugs. The misdeeds and foolish [read more...]

Guns, Race, and Guns: Gilbert, Volunteers, and the Cost of Life in America

A Philadelphia fan holds up a sign for Gilbert Arenas. People in the United States – at least the U.S. – do not want to hear this. White people, Black people, people. But especially White and Black people. Black and White people. Even the juxtaposition – Black-White – is a contrivance, a sick trick of the mind. Racism exists today at its vile [read more...]

Think Sports Media is In Trouble Now? Just Wait… Until TMZSports.com Drops (and you read Sports by Brooks’ defense of them)

World Series Notes: Who’s the Phillies Snitch?

As the World Series travels back to Yankee Stadium there remains a bit of unfinished business in Philadelphia. After his game three loss Cole Hamels was distraught and seemed, at one point, to imply that he migh not pitch again this postseason: “I can’t wait for it to end. It’s been mentally draining. But, you know what, it’s one of those [read more...]
