Now this is talking out your heiney. After getting traded to Buffalo, (oh, that’s Rich! Buffalo! hahahahahahahahahahaha)… Anyway, after getting traded to Iceland Buffalo, Owens gushed like a schoolgirl overr a New Dave Matthews CD about having a small white church mouse for a Quarterback. From the article: Â “Predictably, he had nothing but...
Ace ’80s pitcher Jim Kaat threw some chin music at the MLBPA and Major League baseball officials for their role in profiteering off a drug-fueled workplace. “Heck, there weren’t any rules in our day. We were trying to get the edge. Who’s to say we wouldn’t have done the same thing?” That echoes the comments made by Darryl...
They haven’t lost in squash in eleven years (Division I). They won their first 44 baseball games last year before a single loss in the best of three final against Johns Hopkins, and then they rallied in the ninth to beat Hopkins and win the Division III National Championship. Click here for the video. Now the Bantam golf team has cracked the top 25...
This is juicy. The MLBPA may be in the process of being caught helping the cheaters at the expense of the clean, and helping MLB see massive profits due to a drug-feuled workplace, let alone bogus HR record chases. From the Fox Sports article: “The most disturbing allegation is that Rodriguez was tipped off in September 2004 that he would be tested later that...
Move over Ronald Mexico, now the MLB spitter-in-chief, Roberto Alomar, has been named in a lawsuit by his former girlfriend for putting her at risk for AIDS without informing her he was infected. From the Fox News article: “A $15 million lawsuit claims former Major League Baseball star Roberto Alomar had unprotected sex with a former girlfriend while he had...
This is certainly the biggest story of the day. Sports Illustrated reports the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids, including Promobolan in 2003, according to four independent sources. According to the article: “Rodriguez’s name appears on a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs...
I’m too exhausted from that bad scare Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals gave my Steelers to write anything today. With apologies in dvance to Awful ANnouncing, I’ll do my recap of the Super Bowl coverage tomorrow. For now, Here’s James Harrison savinf the Steelers’ bacon: Harrison goes 100 yards!: Your Defensive Player of the Year...
Awful Announcing, you rock. Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed, apparently a dead ringer for T.G.I.Friday’s chef Guy Fieri, is taking a bath in the Caption Contest Today. Here are some of the best answerrs. Use a pot holder or you’ll burn your fingers: “Unfortunately, this is the best haircut you can get on a kicker’s...
Great, just great: now “Sammy the Owl” has been ejected from an NCAA baketball clash between two also-rans, Tulane vs. Rice. For those of you scoring at home, Sammy the Owl, Rice’s mascot, gave a ref too much lip after a bad call and got run. I just think it was too much for the CBS Sports production team to give us a score crawl update with...
Since my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers are in the Super Bowl, I thought I’d reprise the piece I wrote from 2005 as my Super Bowl preview. Why yes, I am also a Red Sox fan. How could you tell? “Jay. Jay, get up. Come on, up,” the sultry voice urged through darkness and painful throbbing in my head. That was an awful idea. When I opened my eyes...
The year was 1975. An article ran in a prominent business magazine discussing marketing and fan interaction. “Color and motion may spur on a team to victory” it crowed. “Get me a Gimmick! Your contract is up in three months!” roared Vice President and General Manager of the station that broadcast Steeler games at Myron Cope, the radio...
Is that where you need a bib at Red Lobster? Steve Czaban rightly calls him out.
“Crab dribble?!” That’s reedonkyoulous.
Steve Czaban reports on politicians cooking up an FTC complaint on the BCS that it’s national championship game is false advertising. From the article: “Well along comes this item. Rep. Joe Barton of (wait for it…..) Texas (!) is proposing legislation that would hopefully shoot the BCS right out of the sky. He said the bill — being co...
The two best sports reads of the day belong to Steve Czaban and Phil Mushnick. Czabe pens this letter to the Big 12, telling them to sit out a UT-OU shootout for the Big 12 title. Phil Mushnick of the NY Post blames universities for admitting or breeding criminality in the name of the Almighty Sports Dollar. One last thing:Â did anyone else hear John Madden making...
Well, it’s the day after Thanksgiving and everyone except me and a few other Turkey haters are eating leftover dry stringy bird remnants. I had porterhouse steak yesterday, (***insert Caddyshack reference***: “Oh! Porterhouse!”) as usual, and watched everyone else fall asleep due to tryptophan or whatever it’s called. So it’s...
