We’ll admit it … Ohno makes ...

As a rule, your humble Sportspoop staff rarely offers shout-outs to athletes without breasts … that’s just how we roll. But it’s high time we professed our man-love for Apolo Anton Ohno. The speed skater won his seventh career medal Saturday at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, making him...

Top o’ the morning, poopers! Hope you’re having a better Friday than the U.S. Olympic curling teams, who are staring down the barrel of a combined 0-7 record in Vancouver. The bad news? Arch-curling-nemesis Canada remains unbeaten in both the men’s and women’s draws. The good...

Whistler fuzz killing that good ol’...

Residents of Whistler, British Columbia, and 2010 Winter Olympic visitors alike are up in arms due to increased police presence in the small city. Whistler, which was once was a safe haven for those who wished to smoke cannabis in public, more than doubled its police force of 30 in preparation for the...

Monday hangover: Let’s all wag our...

Holy hockeyballs, media people. Enough with the contrived outrage over the weekend’s Olympic arse-whoopings in women’s ice hockey. If you haven’t heard by now, Canada opened tournament play in Vancouver by throttling Slovakia 18-0 on Saturday, and the U.S. followed suit with a similar...

If you’ve read our posts before, you know we usually look for humor in the world of sports. But we also reserve the right to point to the stupid. (Believe us, we know every aspect of stupidity at Sportspoop.com … just ask our significant others.) The ignorance that oozed from the 2010 Winter...

Nets’ home games becoming truly in...

The freefall continues for the New Jersey Nets, but 11 of the NBA team’s remaining fans found reason for optimism when they gathered Friday morning in Wyckoff, N.J.

Quest for Head leaves Vonn fans disappoi...

U.S. Ski Team coaches sat on pins and needles Thursday morning awaiting Lindsey Vonn’s training run on her bruised and swollen right shin as men across America focused on Head.

Lindsey Vonn pretty much just described ...

In a statement that we’re guessing wasn’t meant to be anywhere near as alluring as it sounds, American ski hopeful and SI cover girl Lindsey Vonn posted the comment below on her Twitter feed a couple hours ago. As you probably know, a shin injury has placed Vonn’s Olympic medal hopes...

This Chris Berman story smells fishy, or...

First things first, we want to make one thing clear right from the get-go today: This Chris Berman-to-NFL Network story is, in all likelihood, a big stinkin’ pile of horse apples. There, we said it. As excited as everyone seems to be about the possibility of America’s favorite blowhard taking...

National Signing Day makes us feel dirty...

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 die like dogs, for no good reason.” Alright, truth...

Stafford’s knee rehab is coming al...

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 the fellas over at Deadspin for working tirelessly to...
