To Watch Tonight…You Should Probably Go See a Movie

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

MLB, New York at Boston (ESPN, 7 p.m.): It's pretty funny that New York can't seem to beat Boston these days. But this whole rivalry is overblown and both teams are equally unbearable. There is a reason to watch though. Chien-Ming Wang is taking the mound tonight with his 14.46 ...

Tim Floyd Peaces Out: And You Thought Calipari was Shady

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Tim Floyd sure knows how to make an exit. Very quietly, and out the backdoor to boot. By now you know the story. Floyd resigned his position as head basketball coach at USC on Tuesday, stepping down amid an  investigation by the NCAA into whether (or how much) money changed hands ...

Talk about a quick fall from grace. In 2002, Luiz Felipe Scolari pulled off what might be the ultimate high in world sports when he guided his native Brazil to its fifth World Cup title. He went onto enjoy a six-year stint as Portugal’s boss, taking the Iberians to a World Cup ...

This Is A Great Show

I wouldn't be caught dead watching "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" but there's nothing wrong with checking out clips like this. Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson has still got it man. Wow. I guarantee that if they scrapped the whole "celebrities in the jungle" angle and ...

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

6pm ET: Afternoon, everyone. And with that, I'd like to start by asking what the fuck John Hart is doing as part of MLB Network's broadcast? The guy is clearly the Matt Millen of Major League Baseball, but he gets a studio job analyzing talent? God, that's just...just...wrong! It's just ...

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Major League Baseball Draft (MLB Network, 6 p.m.): The top pick is all but guaranteed to be Stephen Strasburg, and that doesn't necessarily bode well for his future or that of the Wasington Nationals, which are pretty much forced to take the stud pitcher. After that, who knows? We know ...

Good Luck Stephen Strasburg, You’re Gonna Need It

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Tonight, the Washington Nationals will select Stephen Strasburg with the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft. In case you aren't aware, Strasburg is a right-handed pitcher for the San Diego State Aztecs and he has ridiculous stuff. We're talking the kind of pitching talent only seen in video ...

Monday, June 8th, 2009

NCAA Baseball Super Regional, TCU vs. Texas (ESPNU/ESPN2, 7 p.m.): These in-state rivals have split the first two games of this best-of-three super regional.

Uh Oh.

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Remember almost exactly a year ago when Tiger Woods was a scary, unstoppable force that made all other professional golfers irrelevant? Yeah, he might be back to that. Okay, so he beat Jim Furyk and a bunch of nobodies to win The Memorial on Sunday, but I'll be damned if ...
