The War Against Beer Pong
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 31 Jul 2008 04:02 PM EDT
Perhaps, in retrospect, JV Games should have seen this coming. After all, drinking games and video games may be two of college kids' favorite pastimes, but they are also a source of constant complaints from the students' middle-aged parents. So when the softwaremaker tried to combine the two adolescent activities, many critics felt it had gone too far. More>>> Wednesday, July 30

The Brewers' playoff push has run afoul of an unusual distraction, as sources close to the organization confirm that newly acquired husky starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia and sizable power-hitting first baseman Prince Fielder continue to visualize one another as a 6'7" chili cheese dog and a 260-pound hamburger with all the trimmings, respectively.

Southpaw’s Revenge: Why Lefties Make Better Baseball Players
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 21 Jul 2008 01:00 AM EDT
Watching the Twins' Justin Morneau lead off the winning rally in the 15th inning of Tuesday night's All-Star game with a single to shallow center, there was no reason to be surprised that he throws righty but bats lefty. Although only one in 10 civilians are left-handed, one quarter of Major League Baseball players are southpaws. That's no accident, says Washington University aerospace engineer David Peters, who has used math and physics skills to confirm that lefties have a considerable advantage on the diamond.

So here for your viewing pleasure, are the five best sports movie slow clap scenes of all-time. (I’ve put the time in which the slow clap occurs in each video in parentheses.)

Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon became Public Enemy No. 1 in New York on Tuesday, incurring the angry wrath of Yankees fans Tuesday after telling reporters he wanted to pitch the ninth inning of the All-Star Game instead of Yankees closer Mariano Rivera. Papelbon was viciously booed during pre-game All-Star introductions. He also said that he incurred boos and vicious taunts during the red-carpet ride to Yankee Stadium, with his pregnant wife fearing for her safety. More>>>
In High-Stakes Poker vs. Favre, Green Bay Can't Win
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 15 Jul 2008 10:54 AM EDT
The World Series of Poker isn't being played in Las Vegas. It's being played in Green Bay, Wis., and Hattiesburg, Miss. And so far, a very amateurish Ted Thompson is trying to show strength in his hand. Feel free to laugh the next time Green Bay Packers management, both past and present, starts talking about "preserving" Brett Favre's legacy and cherishing Favre's place in the team's "family." It means nothing. More>>>

"SI.com has learned that for the first time in history, a major presidential candidate may sponsor a race car in NASCAR's premier series.

Details of the agreement are expected to be worked out over the coming days." For grins, lets watch a little 'bump and grind' from Pocono, 2006. -Riley More>>>

Former Yankee great Murcer dies at 62
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 12 Jul 2008 06:05 PM EDT
Bobby Murcer, a personable, popular five-time All-Star who went on to a successful broadcasting career with the New York Yankees, died Saturday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 62. After experiencing a general lack of energy, Murcer was diagnosed with a tumor on Christmas Eve 2006, undergoing surgery at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Pathology reports later revealed the tumor to be malignant. Born May 20, 1946, in Oklahoma City, Okla., Murcer played in the Major Leagues for 17 seasons, including making four All-Star appearances with the Yankees. A lifetime .277 batter, Murcer hit 252 home runs and drove in 1,043 runs in 1,908 Major League games with the Yankees, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs. He was the only Yankee to play with both Mickey Mantle and Don Mattingly, and was arguably the franchise's most popular player of the era immediately following Mantle's retirement after the 1968 season.

The Green Bay Packers’ general manager and coach don’t plan to grant Brett Favre’s request for his release. If he does rejoin the team, they told The Associated Press, it won’t be as the starting quarterback. And Favre is unlikely to accept a backup role, GM Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Saturday in their first public comments since the 38-year-old Favre demanded his release this week.

Honoring the very best (and worst) of the first half

We've reached the midpoint of another sensational baseball season. And we know what you're thinking: Has Hank Steinbrenner finished memorizing that rulebook from "the 1800s" yet? If it's Helmet Night, does that mean Manny Ramirez was unable to get his full ticket allotment? And, of course, is it a felony or a misdemeanor to mispronounce Fukudome? Well, even if you weren't actually thinking any of that, it's still been one of the most stupendous, unpredictable baseball seasons in eons. More>>> Friday, July 11
