We’re haters. We’ll admit that. See Favre, Brett for details. But we actually like Stephon Marbury. Maybe it’s because he’s a local boy or because we own a pair of his $9 sneakers or because he’s got a scalp tattoo. Or maybe because, easy though it may be to dismiss Steph as just another talented [...]

We love that in the election’s wake, just about every sports journalist and analyst has felt the need to weigh in on the importance of Barack Obama’s victory and what it means for America. Great. We couldn’t have figured that without you, Chris Berman. But now, forced into double duty, sports journalists around the world [...]

So according to a report from Brendan Kuty on SNY.tv, Brett Favre today admitted to chatting with former Lions GM Matt Millen about the Packers’ gameplan against the Lions, which the Lions then used to stomp the Packers. Of course, newsmakers ESPN refused to report the story, which had developed over the last week, for [...]

We like Manny Ramirez. We’re not sure he belongs on the Mets or Yankees, but we’d welcome him because he’d make our joke-writing duties a whole lot easier. Plus he’s awesome at baseball, even though he can’t — despite what he says — run or play defense. He’s a professional hitter, and he’s great at [...]

It stings that the Phillies made the World Series. We know they’ll lose because they’re the Phillies and teams from Philadelphia don’t win championships (perhaps to phight the phans that even Jimmy Rollins can’t love) and because the American League is so far superior to the Senior Circuit. So we can get past it, even [...]

Jets fullback Tony Richardson warned his teammates about Oakland’s infamous Black Hole before Gang Green’s matchup with the Raiders this week. “One lady was about 75 years old,” he said, “and she shot us the bird.” The Jets plan to prepare for that treatment by driving on the New Jersey turnpike. Yesterday Brett Favre, who [...]

As we point out in the show today, Jose Canseco is back in the news after smuggling a female fertility drug across the border from Mexico. The drug is apparently used illegally by juicers to combat low testosterone levels and testicular atrophy. He was accompanied by a female driver and her young daughter, because Jose [...]

The newfound tradition of playoff baseball in Boston brings with it one of the most disturbing sports pastimes to develop since baseball mustaches first went out of favor in the early 90s. The playing, and singing along to, Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline at professional sporting events is a menace and must be stopped. Listen: You [...]

We hate Philadelphia. We’ve made no secret of that. And we think it’s hilarious that someone in Citizen’s Bank Park thought hot dogs for the Phillie Phanatic’s cannon were suspicious packages, especially considering how the Phillie Phanatic obviously doubles as Philadelphia’s bomb squad. In fact, we wish we were there for the detonation of the [...]

We’re not talking about the Mets today. Too traumatic. There’s all sorts of nasty things to say about the Amazins, but we’re all out of jokes. The Jets, though? Ripe for comedy. That’s because the Jets are quickly becoming the joke that they seemingly always are, even though everyone thought Great Big Brett Favre would [...]
