Woke up to rain, but the sun was trying to peek through the clouds a few minutes ago. There is a chance of showers this ...

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About ESPN's Kentucky Derby Coverage
awfulannouncing.blogspot.com 4/29/2008 — This might come as a surprise but I think ESPN's coverage of the Kentucky Derby is one of the best jobs they do all year.

This year's ESPN coverage is going to be much of the same but there's a bonus for you Derby fans. ...

The 134th Kentucky Derby: Who Still Gives A F**k? —
Rumors and Rants

Ahem. Last year, we discussed how OJ Simpson is a fan of horse racing and especially the Derby and also how we ...

Hugging Harold Reynolds
Can you smell it? That quaffing aroma in the air is the smell of the Kentucky Derby. The mixture of horse sweat and manure brings a smile to my face. My derby day will consist of going to the local racetrack early in the morning to make my bets, come home, start drinking, prepare for my derby party, watch some races on ESPN, drink some more, yell at the TV, coax people into drinking, ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Hope springs eternal on the first Saturday in May. In today's 134th Kentucky Derby, an elite squad of 3-year-old thoroughbreds - only 20 made the cut, out of 37,000 foals in their crop - will parade to post before a teary-eyed...
