If Your Parents Ground You, Just Run To Cincinnati
 
A couple of years ago when everyone was getting arrested, the Bengals were a punchline not for being bad, but because they seemingly didn’t have a player on their roster that wanted to abide by the law for a single day. Things have cleaned up — kind of — but the newest addition to the Bengals probably won’t help their somewhat cleaned up look. The Bengals have ...

New York Mets 2, Pittsburgh Pirates 5: For as well as the Mets are doing, they won’t do diddly in the postseason if that bullpen doesn’t get under control. Chalk up another loss for hte struggling ‘pen in this one. SF Giants 5, Atlanta Braves 0: The Braves are rapidly approaching rock bottom. Remember when ESPN picked this team to be in the World Series at the beginning of ...

This Guy Just Lost His Job As The Spotter
 
http://view.break.com/78189 - Watch more free videos If gymnastics was more like this, I’d've actually watched it. I hope the girl’s okay. From the sound, she isn’t, but from everyone just standing around, I’m guessing her head didn’t just splatter or anything.

Say Hello To Kyle Orton
 
As we’ve probably all heard by now, the Bears have named Kyle Orton as their starting quarterback for the 2008 season . And while his 12-6 record is nothing to sneeze at, the more important thing is that a guy who drools Jack Daniel’s all over his face is actually leading a team that was in the Super Bowl just two years ago. It’s going to be a great season.

Tom Brady’s Got A Mysterious Injury
 
If you’re like me, you’re one of those people that gets annoyed by Bill Belichick always putting Tom Brady as “probable” each week and listing that he has a shoulder injury. It’s annoying because a.) just tell us the truth and b.) he’s on my fantasy team, and I’m just waiting for the guy to be really injured. Well, Brady’s shoulder is ...

St. Louis Cardinals 3, Cincinnati Reds 7: It’s always nice to see Cincinnati actually win a game. I know he’s on an awful team, but Edinson Volquez might well be your Cy Young. He’s the best pitcher, and he’s proving it by winning 15 games for one of the worst teams. San Francisco Giants 3, Atlanta Braves 1: The Braves are reaching all time lows. They can’t ...

If You Ever Need Financial Advice, Just Ask Michael Vick
 
There’s a story on ESPN about Michael Vick and the seemingly terrible financial decisions he’s made . After reading the article, you’ve gotta really question the smarts on Vick (okay, so we questioned that a while ago, but now we’ve got documented proof). In his quest to salvage whatever money’s left of his 20+ million in guaranteed, Vick went on and hired ...

Sean Salisbury Interview
 
Sean Salisbury did an interview with Deadspin, and you can get it right here. It’s odd Salisbury is doing an interview with Deadspin, given they were one of the blogs that helped spread the report of Salisbury showing his balls to an intern, but this may have something to do with his new job at Open Sports. All in all, I miss Salisbury at ESPN, giving advice to quarterbacks that are ...

Chicago Cubs 10, Atlanta Braves 2: It was the first of a double header, and things didn’t get better in the second game. Cincinnati Reds 2, Pittsburgh Pirates 5: I’m too lazy to look it up, but have the Reds won a baseball game in the last month? New York Mets 12, Washington Nationals 0: The Mets are tied with the Phillies for first place in the NL East. St. Louis Cardinals ...

Favre’s Arm Is Hurting, So It May Just Be Time To Retire
 
It’s rare to have a day go by without hearing about Brett Favre, so I’m not going to break tradition and not have a post here. In the latest news, Favre’s arm is “fatigued,” which is probably a good enough reason for Favre to go back into retirement and then come out of retirement just before Week 1. “I felt 38 today,” Favre said Wednesday ...

Pittsburgh Pirates 7, New York Mets 5: The Mets bullpen blew a four run lead, and gave up three in the ninth to clinch the loss. Washington Nationals 1, Milwaukee Brewers 7: Does anyone want to play the Brew Crew right now? Two weeks ago, it looked like this team was starting to fall apart. Now they’re white hot and hitting on all cylinders. St. Louis Cardinals 4, Florida Marlins 2: ...

Some of the Falcons Players Have Gone Insane
 
When your quarterback gets sent to jail for dog fighting, and when that QB is responsible for about 90 percent of your offense, it may cause you to be a bit delirious. You are, after all, going from a playoff contender to everyone’s last ranked team in any power rankings you read. Lawyer Milloy? He wants to hang around. Why, you ask? Because he says this team is set to win a ...

An Incredible Race
 
I’m not one for the Olympics — to be completely honest, I pretty much just watch the basketball — but for whatever reason last night, I couldn’t fall asleep. Even though I don’t watch, I am in tune to Michael Phelps and all the records he’s going to break. So I stopped reading my book (Invisible Monsters, by Chuck Palahniuk), and watched what was ...

Florida Marlins 8, NY Mets 2: Don’t look now, but the Marlins are keeping pace. It’s kind of scary how this team always seems to have nothing but always seems to do well with it. Houston Astros 13, Cincinnati Reds 4: The Reds are just pitiful right now. Pitiful. Washington Nationals 4, Milwaukee Brewers 5: It took a walk off in the 13th, but the Brew-Crew will take it.

San Diego Padres 3, New York Mets 5: The bullpen blew the win for Johan, but the Mets were still able to prevail with two runs scored in the ninth. Florida Marlins 3, Philadelphia Phillies 0: Cole Hamels got the loss, going six innings while giving up seven hits and two earned. He’s 9-8 on the year now. LA Dodgers 4, St. Louis Cardinals 1: Manny went 1-3, dropping his average to ...

Brett Favre To The J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
 
And thank the Lord it’s over. My God. That took longer than any of us ever anticipated. My least favorite team in the NFL is the Patriots — who does like those guys, anyway? — and now I’ll get to see my two least favorite teams play each other twice a year. I never had a problem with the Jets before — Mangini seems cool, and he was the one that let the cat ...

Milwaukee Brewers 6, Cincinnati Reds 3: The Reds are slumping, and the Brewers seem to be getting out of theirs. Ricky Weeks had 4 hits to help the Brewers get the win. Houston Astros 4, Chicago Cubs 11: Remember when A-Rod was traded for Alfonso Soriano? I’m not comparing the two — A-Rod’s clearly the better player — but did Texas get the best of that deal when it ...

Will The Madden Curse Be In Effect?
 
With Madden 2009 coming out in less than a week, it’s hard for me to focus on work, my social life, or really anything at the moment. Truth be told, I’m just counting down to that day, because it’s the new Christmas in my book, and has been for years now. This year the cover is graced by Brett Favre, who was thought to be retired (EA was the only silly idiots to fall ...

Houston Astros 7, Chicago Cubs 11: The Cubs were up, blew a big lead, but Soriano’s three-run blast in the seventh made the score 10-7, and the Cubs didn’t look back after that. Florida Marlins 8, Philadelphia Phillies 2: The Marlins are only 1.5 games back, the Mets 2. I”ve been waiting for someone in this division to break this thing open, but I’m starting to ...

LeBron May Follow Josh Childress, Only He’ll Get A Bit More Money
 
If you’ve been wondering just how much the American dollar has dropped, look no further than already-rich NBA players wanting to go to Europe to play ball, something that was once never imagined. After watching Josh Childress head to Greece, LeBron James is saying he’d consider the move, as well. A person close to James said Tuesday that the Cavaliers’ superstar ...
