Louisville basketball players Jerry Smith and Terrence Jennings were charged with misdemeanor counts of resisting law enforcement. These fine upstanding kids were probably helping an old lady across the street following an alumni homecoming party, where they almost certainly declined every hundred dollar handshake that was offered to them, when an out-of-control, off-duty Jeffersonville police [...]

Every Friday we designate this weekend’s honorary drinker. You know, like a parade marshal. Except cooler.
This week’s honorary drinker is Frank “the Tank” Ricard. You all know of this former drinking legend who regained his past glory through a series of bad decisions fueled by alcohol and hedonistic activities. It’s the dream of every thirtysomething. Go forth and remember you’re [...]

Please take a look at this trailer for G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. I’ll wait.
A couple observations.
First, I don’t think you want to lead your trailer by touting the fact that you got the guy who directed The Mummy. That Indiana Jones rip-off was notable for one thing — employing the Israeli George Harrison.

ESPN and the Associated Press reported earlier this morning that Steve McNair had alcohol in his system at the time of his death with the headline “McNair Twice The Legal Limit At Time Of Death” or something very similar.

On the eve of the NBA Draft, I wanted to take a look back at one of the more hilarious post-draft press conferences in recent Suns history. I am speaking of the one-and-only Jake Tsakalidis, who responded to ESPN’s draft day questions with two words: “Free” and “Strong.” The “free” related to his ability to extricate himself from his [...]

Yesterday actor David Carradine was found dead in his Bangkok hotel, following an apparent suicide by hanging. (Note to Nicolas Cage: this is how you make Bangkok Dangerous not by making another shitty film). Carradine, star of such classics as Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror and My Suicide (was he just attempting [...]

The UFL is taking epic failure to new heights. First, their foolproof business plan involves creating a new professional league to give Americans more football during the arid football wasteland that is the month of October. Americans are clearly not clamoring for more football at a time when both the NFL and NCAA football is [...]

(Editor’s Note: Derived from an exclamation made by a young lady who felt shunned by a gentleman at a party, this weekly column aims to remind you of some of the things you may have missed.)
Blow Me… Apparently, the Yankees have a jet stream heading out to right field of their 1.5 billion dollar stadium [...]

In case you haven’t heard, or seen it on the Yankee/Red Sox Sports Programming Network (ESPN), the New York Yankees have a brand new ballpark. Apparently it is a world-class facility. Problem is, no one in New York is going to see it because it costs about as much as a four year college education [...]
