Disclaimer: I posted this story on Babes Love Baseball also. Just saving you from reading it twice.So, Thursday night I headed to Nationals Park for the game and thanks to the glory of corporate seats, I had six tickets. Because of changing schedules (and the fact that they were playing the lowly Pirates, I ended up with three extra tickets. On the way to the game on the Metro, we ran into three

UPDATE: The Huffington Post link, as promised.So, I wrote this piece for the Huffington Post. It'll be on the site at some point today, but apparently Miley Cyrus's shoulder and American Idol are taking priority. I wanted to pass it along in the aftermath of the Bob Costas debacle.

I had the privilege of attending today's event honoring the New York Giants Super Bowl Win at the White House. It was the kind of thing only Giants fans would have found even remotely interesting. I, of course, thought it was the best day ever. Quote of the day:"We're going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention."- President George W. Bush in speaking about the Dallas loss

Every tournament season it happens. Bloggers take "brackets" a bit too far. Hot wife brackets, tough mascot brackets, celebrity brackets, blah blah blah. Well, now we have the suckiest sports blog bracket. A bracket in which I've been seeded against Deadspin. Now, I have no dilusions. I don't even belong on this bracket.

Happy Friday!!Head on over to Babes Love Baseball for my weekly Losers of the Week feature. Oh, and it seems I've been seeded against Deadspin in a blog bracket. Fair? I shouldn't even be on the bracket. Although I'm not sure in what world Dan Shanoff is a 10 seed and The Big Lead is a 1. Mr. Bracket Creator obviously doesn't read those blogs.

I think it's become well known that I'm not the biggest Jemele Hill fan. I could write a whole blog ripping every column she writes and I bet it'd get more hits than this blog. But Hill's latest comments are unforgivable. Awful Announcing has the details. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Writers like Hill have been given a rare opportunity to put women in sports in a better position.

...and here's what I missed. Bob Knight is apparently sleeping in the ESPN studios. Seriously, every time I turned on the network last week, there was Bobby. I have to admit he's pretty good, and makes more sense than some of the other "analysts" they're using (the Sklar brothers? really?). Yes, I know he's one of the best college players right now, but I'm already tired of Tyler Hansbrough.

I know I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I couldn't resist a few spring training comments. First, Billy Crystal playing an exhibition game with the Yankees is the dumbest publicity stunt I've seen in years. What is the point of this? When was the last time Billy Crystal was relevant? And did anyone ask Kevin Youkilis if he was ok with sharing his Baseball Jew title?Second, the Yankees fight

Brett Favre is old!!Seriously, I know he's one of the best quarterbacks to play the game, but everyone knew he was going to retire. The big story isn't his retirement, it's the younger generation of Packers fans who have known their team with only Favre at the helm. Few fans get to say that for their entire fandom, they had one guy under center every game for 15 years. The 20 to 30 year olds who

When the Mitchell report came out and Andy Pettitte came forward with his admission of using HGH, ESPN's Jemele Hill called Pettitte insincere and said his apology was a joke. In her most recent column regarding Pettitte's explanations to Congress, she calls him "brutally honest" and wise and compares him favorably to Clemens "fraudulent act". I find it hard to believe that an educated woman like

But it definitely warrants mentioning.So it's signing day, the day when high school football players all over the country sign their college careers over to whichever college promises them the hottest co-eds.But if you're Kevin Hart, you're not going anywhere.

In one of the douchiest moves ever, the Fargo, North Dakota police department used the Super Bowl to sweep the town and serve outstanding warrants.Authorities used Super Bowl Sunday for Operation Touchdown, arresting more than 40 people on outstanding warrants.From 2:20 p.m. to about 9:45 p.m., Fargo police, Cass County deputies, U.S. marshals, and parole and probation officers fanned out around

Unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. There are few things in life that are better than watching your team win the Super Bowl. And this was one satisfying win. And while today will be filled with praise for the players and coaches (and rightfully so), I just wanted to call attention to how well the officiating crew did their jobs. 18-1

I have to admit, the debate was well executed, well moderated, and it really made me think about my position on the subject. It's not a black and white issue and it will never have an easy solution.

The Yankees and Jorge Posada came to an agreement Monday, allowing Posada to stay a Yankee for at least another four years at a price of $52.4 million. This is yet another move that shows the new Steinbrenner generation has their heads on straight. A five time All Star, Posada hit a team-high .338 this year with 20 homers and 90 RBIs. He set career highs for average, slugging percentage (.543)

The hard bodies of the top eight players in tennis have become even harder, thanks to a woman named Laury Dizengremel.

Today we have Sports Figures Who Should Hang Their Head In Shame.David Stern, Clay Bennett, and Washington House Speaker Frank Chopp: More proof that the fans are not a priority.

So, I've been asked quite a bit about my opinion on the Suzyn Waldman debacle. I've basically stayed mum...until she claimed she was only being criticized because she's female. Nothing pisses me off more than women in sports who play the sex card. For my take on this, head to this week's commentary on The Naughty American.

Well, it happened exactly as I predicted. The Yankees offered Joe a deal and he told them to shove it. To this I say, BRAVO. It's not that I want to see him go. He's one of the best managers in the history of baseball. But he deserves more respect than he's gotten from Steinbrenner and he'll get it elsewhere. As for his replacement, I'm calling it now: Girardi. While much talk has been made of

I've been asked to write twice a week for The Naughty American. Some Most of you are probably familiar with its parent site Naughty America.

There has been some buzz in the sports world lately stemming from a recent article for New York Magazine. It has been speculated that Alex Rodriguez's agent could possibly negotiate a deal for Arod to opt out of his contract with the Yankees at the end of the year and go to the Cubs (who are up for sale and have yet to announce new owners). A part of the deal could be partial ownership of the

Despite an obvious sabotage attempt by Mariano Rivera, the Yankees were able to take this weekend's series from Boston 2 games to 1. It also means the Yanks are 10-8 against the Sox on the season, giving Red Sox fans everywhere reason to be ashamed. I mean, what's the point of the Red Sox winning the division if they can't beat the Yankees. What's that? The playoffs you say? Yeah. We'll see you

Yes. I drafted Jared Lorenzen in one of my fantasy leagues. A quick check of his stats just now showed that 0% of fantasy owners own Lorenzen.

We all know the media loves to exploit human interest stories to appeal to the viewers. The announcers of the Virginia Tech game this weekend spent just as much time talking about the shootings as they did calling the actual game. This weekend's Virginia Tech/LSU game is sure to be the media's Tragedy Bowl with the Massacre being the odds on favorite in Vegas over Katrina. Here are a few ways to

Yankee Stadium security, you are officially on notice. We all know that the Yankees/Red Sox games bring out the crazies, but the new stadium “rules” have gone a bit too far. Apparently, fans are no longer allowed to yell “Boston Sucks”. While I understand your desire to keep the game respectful, it's clear that your new security cavalry has never attended a game at Yankee Stadium. Lighten up.

A huge round of applause for Rob, who kicked this blog's ass while I was on vacation. I might have to fire myself and replace me with Rob. It was a much needed vacation, but thanks to lack of dependable internet access in the Outer Banks, I returned home to lots of catching up to do. Basically here's what I missed:Vick pleaded guilty.

Bloggy Yankees scribe Peter Abraham (extreme closeup!) links to the USA Today cover feature stating that, based on road attendance, the Red Sox have displaced the Yankees as "America's Team":"Well … it depends how you look at it.

If you don't subscribe to XM Satellite Radio, you must hate baseball, or music, or both. Why must you hate baseball and/or music? Anyway, New York Yankee dreamboat and shortstop Derek Jeter was recently interviewed by Buck Martinez for XM Radio's Baseball Confidential series. I have nothing else to add. Derek Jeter is non-controversial and gives very bland interviews. He's only useful as a

Dear Michael,You're being a little bitch. I've been sitting on this contract thing for a bit. Partly because I wanted to see how it played out and partly because I just can't deal with training camp drama. It's hard enough to be a Giants fan these days. But seriously, this is ridiculous.

Ladies, go ahead and write the hate mail but hear me out before you hit send. (Also understand that I'm only serious about 10% of the time I'm writing on this blog. This is probably not one of those times.) Sports has always been a haven for men and the place where guys go to bond over drinking, swearing, and objectifying cheerleaders. It is, in essence, a brief escape from the bitching of women,

And so the Vick fallout continues. Apparently the good people of New York City are donating their Michael Vick jerseys to the local shelters in record numbers. I’ve seen two different homeless men in the last two days wearing #7 Falcons jerseys. No joke. I was going to take photographic evidence, but that would have been insensitive. Plus, then I’d have to give them a dollar. Fuck that.

There’s been plenty of analysis of last night’s (zzzzz) All Star Game. I’m not going to bore you with mine because a) what do you care what I think and b) I was watching Best Damn Sports Bloopers instead. I did, however, see a good point this morning brought up by USA Today’s Michael McCarthy: “Why do directors cut away from stuff viewers want to see? Fox's quick trigger ruined an intriguing

So there’s been much talk of “executive privilege” lately. I hate politics and this isn’t a political blog, but it got me thinking about the idea of executive privilege and how it could benefit sports. If the heads of the major sports organizations had the equivalent of executive privilege, how might they use it to better the game?MLB: Bud Selig could have used his executive privilege to keep

So, I was approached by the online news and opinion site The Huffington Post to write about social issues in sports. I'm not a fan of the HuffPo in general and I think that they've been remiss in their coverage of sports issues. Hopefully we can change that. My first piece went up today and it's a bit controversial. All I ask is that you read it objectively and understand its purpose. You can
