Wanna Buy Manny Ramirez’ AMAZING Grill?

You could be the proud owner of a lightly used JENN-AIR grill owned by none other than Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez, who is auctioning it off on eBay. At lasy check the grill was fetching bids of over $20,000, which is pretty steep for a $4,000 grill at retail.
“Hi, I’m Manny Ramirez,” the listing […]

The Dallas Mavericks Do Not Win

The Golden State Warriors managed to finally cause the Mavs to not win, snapping their 17 game winning streak on Monday night when they thumped them 117-100.
While the streak ended with a thud of a stinker performance put in by Dallas, it’s only their third loss in three months, and their first loss since the […]

Dallas Mavericks Decide To Not Ever Lose Another Game

So Dallas is on a little bit of a roll, winning their last 15 consecutive games and 50 of their first 55 games, after starting the season 0-4. And I’d normally say they had their heads on straight (and properly deflated) about it, too, but this quote is a little odd:

I Think Someone Won the Super Bowl Last Night

I actually dozed off midway through the third quarter, so hang on, lemme see what happened…
Ah, congratulations to the Baby Horses, for prevailing over a team with the equivalent of a high-school junior varsity starting quarterback. Not the most awesomest display of prowess, from either team, on either side of the ball, but at least […]

What the Hell Happened to Iona?

In one of those stories that has little logical explanation, the Iona Gaels are 0-22. For the mathematically challenged, that means they haven’t won a single damn game. All year. And they’re not exactly playing top shelf teams, either, as all sorts of teams have been hanging losses on them this year.
The truly bizarre thing […]

The Boston Celtics Are Really, Really Bad

Just when you think that things can’t get worse, hey, they do, with the Celtics dropping a franchise record 14 straight games:
