Perhaps you have been waiting with breathless anticipation to see what the cover of the new Madden ’10 football video game will look like. Well, you don’t have to wait anymore – it’s out, and it features Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald in a sort of rematch of this year’s Super Bowl. Of course, should the Madden curse prove true, both men will wish the rematch had never happened.

Brandi Chastain’s Famous Bra Being Held for Ransom
If Brandi Chastain wants to see her immortal sports bra again, she will have to fork over $250. No, the bra was not stolen by some perv: it was actually donated to the Sports Museum of America, along with lots of other valuable memorabilia from various sports luminaries, but that institution recently went belly-up and now all that famous stuff is in the hands of a bankruptcy court. Chastain, for her part, doesn’t seem that worried about retrieving the bra. “Thank goodness I have another one,” quipped the former soccer hero. What kind of note do you receive when someone [...]

Lakers Will Not Sweep Jazz
The Utah Jazz put to bed all talk of a Lakers sweep by capturing game 3 in Salt Lake City Thursday night. Just think…if the first round were best 3-of-5 like it should be, that game would’ve been a do-or-die thriller. Now all it means is that the Lakers will have to play at least 5 games in the first round instead of strolling through to the second in 4. More Jazz/Lakers! More Jazz/Lakers! The NBA sure knows how to give its fans what they want.

Big Papi Warns Joba Not to Throw at Red Sox Hitters
Yes kids, it’s that time of the year again: time for the Yankees and Red Sox to renew their ages-old, ever-more-tedious and over-hyped rivalry. Expect wall-to-wall coverage on ESPN, including at least one on-air Peter Gammons orgasm. Among the things you shouldn’t expect: a lot of brotherly affection flying from David Ortiz toward Joba Chamberlain. Big Papi – who has been neither big nor papi so far this season – has made it quite clear that he doesn’t like Joba’s bean-ball antics. He wants Joba to know that if Joba tries throwing at Kevin Youkilis, a guy he’s buzzed several [...]

Jimmy Smith May Have a Small Drug Habit
Former Jaguars WR Jimmy Smith was pulled over Wednesday in Jacksonville for having too much tint in the windows of his Mercedes (who hasn’t had that happen to them), and by the time the traffic stop was over, police had arrested him for possession of crack cocaine and marijuana. Smith, who is also charged with driving on a suspended license, was at last report being held at Duval County Jail with bond yet to be set. Shockingly, this was not Smith’s first brush with the law: In 2001, while still a member of the Jaguars, he tested positive for traces [...]
I have no idea if it’s true what everyone keeps saying about Magic coach Stan Van Gundy panicking in pressure situations, I just know that the heavily-favored Magic lost game one to the Sixers and then were up 18 points on Philly in game 2 and almost blew the lead before recovering to win. If Orlando had somehow lost that game, Van Gundy’s reputation as a dude who can’t deal with duress would’ve ballooned to Mr. Stay Puft proportions.
Susan Boyle is a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic, a heroine to frumpy middle-aged women and a shining example of what your life can amount to if you have a talent for delivering lame showtunes in front of Simon Cowell. However, Ms. Boyle is starting to feel the negative side of fame after going back on her promise not to change her appearance. Yes, she plucked her eyebrows, and people are actually angry about it. Oh the heartache and disillusionment. Susan Boyle, you selfish, heartless bitch.
Kevin Smith mostly uses Twitter to wax poetic about his love of weed, but sometimes he also gets his tweet on over his favorite NHL team, the New Jersey Devils. On Tuesday night, those very Devils squared off against the Carolina Hurricanes in playoff action, and sure enough, Kevin was on Twitter offering his profane running commentary. Imagine Kevin’s despair over Devils goalie Martin Brodeur allowing the game-winning goal with just .2 seconds left on the clock. Actually, you can do better than imagine…you can experience it, along with the rest of Kevin’s observations/outbursts: Kevin Smith Twitters Devils/Canes: Devils vs. [...]
