Give it to Redick

People seem to be having a terrible time choosing between Duke’s J.J. Redick and Gonzaga’s Adam Morrison for the various player-of-the-year awards.
Now I don’t like Duke any more than anyone who doesn’t love Duke, which is to say I hate them, and Redick’s just one more Duke player that’s so good you can’t help but […]

This Weekend, Bet On Boxing: Lacy-Calzaghe

No Russians with pituitary disorders, no sir. No former almost-greats with huge names and faded skills, not this weekend. This weekend we get a real fight.
Champions Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy and Joe “The Italian Dragon” Calzaghe will step into the ring in Manchester, England on Saturday for a super middleweight unification bout.
[…]

oddJoe takes oddsnark gold. And silver, and bronze, and whatever comes after bronze

Forgive the aggrandizement, but the efforts of one member of our snarky staff to chronicle the 20th Winter Olympiad must not go without recognition.
While the rest of us went into deep hibernation until March Madness — waking only to murmur prayers that the rock sliding Minnesotans, snowboarding hopheads, Miller-swilling Millers, and Cosby sweater-clad announcers might […]

Oh, wow, that’s really gross

Shane Mosley earned a 10th round TKO over Fernando “The Nawshish One” Vargas last night by transforming his opponent into the Elephant Man.
Vargas’ eye was swollen shut by the 7th round, but fans were treated to three more suspense-filled rounds during which they could wager whether El Feroz’s head might actually explode all over […]

OK, Now It’s Interesting

Self-righteous hippie skiers. No thanks.
Showboating snowboarder grrls. I’ll pass.
Bitchy speed skaters. Keep ‘em.
The entire sport of ice dancing. Not even a sport.
Hot ice skaters. Yeah, OK.

Things Dick Cheney Will Shoot

I know what you’re thinking: What won’t Dick Cheney shoot? Granted, the won’t-shoot list would be shorter, but it’s more interesting to note that Texas lawyers have joined such diverse company as little birdies and anyone currently residing in an oil-producing country.

Apparently our Veep accidentally sprayed Texas Funeral Service Commission member Harry Whittington with shotgun […]

Tonya Harding and the Devil Inside

Holy crap, Tonya Harding’s effin’ HUGE! Post that shit. Post it. Post it.
Well, I don’t know. There’s really nothing funny about being fat. You know, I wouldn’t have guessed that the devil would say “effing.”
Forget that. Pimp the fat girl. Bets were off when she posted a want ad for bat-wielding halfwits on the trailer […]

oddJosh issues fatwa against ESPN, Sportsline, others

Inspired by oddJoe’s righteous defense of his Iditarod coverage against the Deadspin infidels, oddsnark co-founder oddJosh today declared war against major sports outlets ESPN, CBS Sportsline, Fox Sports, and others. A portion of his statement follows:

This is only the beginning. I’m sick and tired of these guys stealing my stories. A few days ago I […]

This Weekend, Bet On Boxing: Gatti-Damgaard

Yo, who da hell is Tahmiss Damn Guard?!
Simmer down, Gatti Nation. His name is Thomas Damgaard, he’s Danish, a southpaw, and his record currently stands at 37-0 with 27 KOs. He’ll be fighting your beloved Thunder on Saturday night in Atlantic City. (You do know Gatti’s really Canadian, right?) There’s a vacant IBA welterweight title […]
