His discombobulated explanation for skipping the Steelers‘ trip to the White House was outed as a pitiful attempt at covering up his fear of flying.  And now James Harrison is in the news again, for something 100 times more horrible: Steelers linebacker James Harrison’s young son is being treated at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh after being bitten by an animal — apparently Harrison’s pet dog, WTAE Channel 4 Action News has learned. A source told reporter Ari Hait that the injuries to James Harrison III are severe, but not life-threatening. Harrison, the article points out, is known to own a [...]

The Chicago White Sox got two pieces of bad news on Thursday.  First, they were destroyed 20-1 by the Minnesota Twins, who are not exactly the Big Red Machine offensively.  Then, still smarting from this negative experience, they learned that their efforts to beef up the pitching staff responsible for turning the light-hitting Twinkles into a one-day Murderers Row had suffered a set-back when Jake Peavy refused to accept their trade for him.  I don’t know what could’ve possibly happened to the Sox to make it a worse day.  Ozzie Guillen getting suspended for calling Bud Selig a f***ing asshole [...]

The Lakers were lucky to win Game 1 at home, but their luck ran out in Game 2 and now the series shifts to Denver (love that SportsCenter-speak) tied 1-1.  My humble prediction:  the series will be 2-2 when it returns to L.A. Another humble prediction:  Kobe Bryant will learn not to turn his back and let the dude inbound the ball off his spinal column.  Another humble prediction:  George Karl will hit a buffet and wind up accidentally eating his own fingers.

The L.A. Times gives the lowdown on the arrest of former Patriots and Colts LB Eric Naposki for his part in the 1995 slaying of a businessman: In the early 1990s, wealthy Newport Beach businessman Bill McLaughlin answered a personal ad from a woman that read: “I know how to take care of my man if he knows how to take care of me.” McLaughlin hit it off with Nanette Packard McNeal and they started dating. Soon, McLaughlin, the head of a successful medical technology firm, was financially supporting McNeal and her two children and even provided them with a beachfront [...]

Fake Skip Bayless has a problem with Craig Sager‘s eccentric wardrobe, and isn’t shy about expressing his disdain via the ever-popular social networking site Twitter.  During Wednesday night’s Cavs-Magic game, Fake Bayless tweeted the following: Craig Sager always wears the dumbest looking suits TNT should really say something to him I’m Sorry but Sager is such a joke I have always thought so Sager is a joke again, Goodnight everyone 10am be there How much does Fake Bayless despise Sager and his clown suits?  It was the last thing he tweeted before he went to bed.  Had Fake Bayless died [...]

So I guess the Cavs were rusty from the lay-off.  Or maybe they had it too easy in the first two rounds and underestimated the Magic.  Or…maybe they’re not as good as everyone thinks?

Terry Francona is a genius.  He sits the struggling David Ortiz down for a few games and what happens?  Papi comes back and hits his first homer of the season.  Who says managers are worthless? Yeah, Joe Girardi.  You have a point there.
