Dispatch to San Francisco, STOP! You Are A Fucking Cheater, STOP!

You might be curious as to what Hank Aaron will do the day Barry Bonds, barring freak incident, inexorably breaks his home run record. We conjecture he’ll probably be sticking needles into voodoo dolls (oh, the double irony) of Barry’s giant head until the day 756 goes up on the AT&T Park scoreboard. “I’m sorry [...]

Jason Kidd, Role Model

You know, it figures the best basketball player to come out of Cal would end up being socially screwed up. Page Six won’t leave Jason Kidd alone: This morning’s column has an item on the Net cavorting with a “hot young model” in NYC last weekend. Page Six’s source also reports that Kidd has “a [...]

DeVon Hardin Doesn’t Want You Eating His Lucky Charms

Jim Nantz, You’re Still Not My Friend

We have to admit, there’s always something special about Sunday at Augusta National that seperates it from any other golf event, even when the course is winning and the players are losing, the weather is 30 degrees below normal, and no one has had a remarkable round up through the first 54.

Stripping for the Earth (Warning: Not Safe Ever)

See, this is why we need nudist laws. It seems anyone who ever strips in public are the people we never want to see naked. Embrace the ground my friends! It’s terrible that your cause will have no effect on the actual decision (there’s actually an injunction on retrofitting the stadium for seismological reasons, not [...]
