First off, kudos to Sweden’s Robin Soderling for pulling off a stunning upset of prohibitive French Open favorite Rafael Nadal in the fourth round Sunday. We don’t typically use the word “upset” a lot around here, given that the term has been rendered useless due to rampant overuse...

It seems like a long time ago, but remember when Billy Donovan was the coach of the Orlando Magic? Yeah, it only lasted for about two days, but what a glorious run it was. They didn’t lose a game as I recall. Donovan was fresh off back-to-back NCAA titles and fresh off flirting with the job at...

Maybe it was because he was one dunk away from laying a goose egg from the floor in the fourth quarter of the biggest game of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ season. Or maybe it was just plain, old frustration after watching his team’s season go up in smoke after posting the NBA’s best record...

It’s Stanley Cup Finals time, and unfortunately the matchup is the Detroit Red Wings vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins. We say unfortunately because if the Florida Panthers were in the finals, TV ratings might top John Blutarsky’s grade-point average. Why the Panthers? They have the best fans...

Ever heard of Simona Halep? We hadn’t either, but apparently she’s an up and coming tennis star from Romania. But it seems Halep is having trouble with her game. And when we say her game, we mean her boobs. Simona’s Carpathian Mountains are getting in the way, so to speak. And Nike’s...

Tiger Woods hasn’t won a PGA Tour event in weeks, Phil Mickelson is taking time off to spend with his wife, Sergio Garcia is more confused than Sarah Palin at a Mensa convention and someone named Rory won the last event, but good news is on the way. John Daly’s six-month suspension has been...

Can we just go ahead and start the college football season today? In the past few seasons, it’s been the college football world vs. the Southeastern Conference, and the SEC has been the clear winner. Now it appears the league’s coaches have grown tired of spanking the rest of the country...

Yeah, this is all over the Internet, but we can’t stop laughing at these. In case you haven’t seen Keyboard Cat, take a few hours to check them out. Related Posts:Morning wood: Thanks for nothing, UFLMorning wood: Stay classy, San Diego ChickenMorning wood: Butt steak from OmahaThis is how...

At the risk of mixing our 80s pop-culture movie references, it seems little pricey for a unique fixer-upper opportunity. But if you live on the north side of Chicago, you’ve got $2.3 million burning a hole in your pocket, and you have a penchant for contemporary homes with Ferraris buried in the...

Sportspoop.com has only been online a couple weeks or so, but frankly, we should just go ahead and retire now. Because chances are, we will never eeeee-yever find a story more suited to our sensibilities. Kudos to thejockitch.com for unearthing this gem from a recent Runner’s World magazine. Charlotte...

So Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals was pretty interesting, hmmm? We got to see LeBron James look decidedly un-LeBron down the stretch of regulation (including some ghastly turnovers for The Witnesserer). We have a new heapin’ batch of questionable calls (and no-calls) for the referee-bashers...

We’re not sure of the time of the fight since it’s in Japan, so Jose Canseco might already be dead. In case you haven’t heard, America’s favorite steroid-shooting, whistle-blowing, self-promoting moron is making his MMA debut today. His opponent? A 7-foot-2, 350-pound Korean named...

Kobe Bryant had a landmark day in his quest to become America’s most douchebaggy sports icon on Saturday. On Saturday night, Bryant scored 41 points — including a big basket to give Los Angeles a one-point lead with just over a minute remaining — to help the Lakers grab a 2-1 lead in...

One thing is certain. The columnists and ESPN blowhards will fall over themselves proclaiming LeBron’s game-winner over Orlando (video below) in Friday’s Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals to be the most significant shot since Jordan juked Ehlo and doomed (ahem) the Cavaliers back...

Hey, we’ve all had bad days before. Spilling coffee on your crotch while driving to the office. Dog crap on the family heirloom rug. It happens. And then there are days like the Chicago White Sox had on Thursday. First, the star pitcher to which you’ve hog-tied your hopes and dreams snubs...

OK, first things first. We were too busy watching the Lakers implode Thursday night to catch Pittsburgh’s 7-4 romp over Carolina in Game 2 of the NHL Eastern Conference finals. We did catch the recap on Sportscenter, however, and learned a couple of interesting things: - Evgeni Malkin scored a...

We’re not gonna lie, today just might be the most important day of your life. Like your wedding day, or your first day out of methadone treatment. It’s a proud moment in the annals of sport. Hell, it’s the type of day that makes you proud to be a member of the human race. Ranking alongside...
