On October 10, 72 teams from 18 states will travel to Las Vegas for the largest adult kickball tournament in the history of adult kickball. Probably, in the total history of all kickball (until Field Day Earth 2080, when the youth unite to take it back from old people).

Thankfully, Bode Miller has become a characateur of his former self. This is great, because his former self was really - to put it lightly - dickish?

Seven Songs From Sports Film Soundtracks That You Didn’t Know

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:21:18 +0000

The songs on this list come from classic sports films that you’ve definitely seen (maybe not Hot Rod). Hopefully, from artists that you know (Gang of Four, Explosions in the Sky), but probably didn’t know the specific song (or any of the songs in the artist’s catalogue, ex. Twista).

Stuff that happened the year Brett Favre was drafted (1991)

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:05:38 +0000

Since Brett seems content to make his swan song a swan overture, I thought it appropriate to reflect on other events from way-back-when in 1991, the year Favre was drafted 33rd overall by the Atlanta Falcons. (Remember the Otzii the Iceman, or the original Sonic the Hedgehog?)

San Francisco Giants have the most expensive beer in the league, according to this sketchy report

Thu, 6 Aug 2009 15:12:35 +0000

The San Francisco Giants and AT&T Park earned the dubious distinction of being labeled the merchants of the priciest brew in the league - $8.75 for a 20 oz, according to Team Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index. However, it says a 12 oz. beer at the a Mets or Yankees game will cost you $5 and $6. (?!)
