National Signing Day makes us feel dirty all over (as usual)

Hunter S. Thompson once wrote of college football recruiting, “It is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench … a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men...

Stafford’s knee rehab is coming along just fine, thanks
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on February 2, 2010
There’s only one thing that could distract us from the round-the-clock coverage of Dwight Freeney’s ankle injury, and that’s Matthew Stafford. And his girlfriend. And her boobs. Wait, that’s four things. Regardless, we thank...

With a potential No. 1 ranking on the line Saturday when their team heads west to face rival K-State, you would think Kansas basketball fans would have their attention focused on the tough test that looms in Manhattan. Alas, you would be wrong. Not...

Finally, media can turn attention to what’s really important
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on January 25, 2010
Thank goodness those annoying games are now over. With Minnesota’s overtime loss to New Orleans in Sunday’s NFC championship game behind them, our nation’s sports media can now turn their full attention to the only story they really...

We’ve officially hit rock bottom (again) in the Tiger saga
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on January 20, 2010
Every time we think we’ve witnessed the low point in the mainstream media’s “coverage” of Tiger Woods’ recent foibles, we find out just how much we’ve underestimated the industry’s ability to circle the drain...

Monday hangover: Sharapova loses battle of the insanely hot
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on January 18, 2010
So the conference championship games are set in the NFL, although we have to say we’re a little underwhelmed by the whole thing thus far. Maybe it’s the fact most of the playoff games have been ass-pounding affairs thus far, or the fact...

Lane Kiffin continues his quest to be hated by America
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on January 13, 2010
So it’s pretty clear, given the *ahem* vitriolic responses *sniff* to Lane Kiffin’s decision Tuesday to bolt Tennessee for the USC coaching vacancy, that this whole Southern Cal thing better work out nicely for Kiffin. At the rate he’s...

We’re not exactly sure why, but damned if this Mark McGwire story isn’t continuing to reign chaos over the sports media some 24 hours after his *cough* people *ahem* meticulously unveiled The Admission Plan. Mark McGwire Frankly, the...

Urban borefare | an asinine ending to an asinine year
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on December 29, 2009
What a banner year it’s been in the college coaching business. From Rick Pitino to John Calipari to Lane Kiffin to Mark Mangino to Mike Leach, and finally, to Urban Meyer, it’s hard to imagine an industry that collectively thinks more...

Angry nag edges horse for AP Female Athlete of the Year honor
Posted by Phoebe B. Beebe on December 22, 2009
It’s been a landmark year for Serena Williams. In January, tennis’ big-boned diva took advantage of a heaping helping of Australian hospitality to rally past Svetlana Kuznetsova in the Aussie Open quarterfinals en route to her 10th grand...

8 tasty reasons to watch the U.S. Open
Posted by T-Bone on August 31, 2009
The U.S. Open tennis tournament always seems to suffer from a little bit of an inferiority complex. Die-hard tennis fans love the event to be sure, but the Open has a tendency to get lost sometimes amid the fervor of the football preseason hype machine...

The woman pictured below is named Erika Prezerakou, and allegedly she’s a pole vaulter for the Greek National Team. We say “allegedly” because every time we try to read actual words about Ms. Prezerakou, our eyes drift back to the...

Historians no doubt will determine the exact date that the WNBA officially died, but we’re laying even odds that Friday, Aug. 28, 2009 will be high on the list of possibilities. That’s because Friday was the day we learned that the WNBA...
