It Better Be Your House Melo

The Knicks might want to slow their roll. Don’t get me wrong. That was a huge win in the garden over Chicago. They did turn a 21 point lead into a 10 point deficit before doing the Bulls in OT. And for at least a night, Carmelo Anthony justified the big swing the Knicks took on him, forcing...Full take »

Air Date:
Odom And Mavs Part Ways

Be careful what you wish for: Lamar Odom to Dallas couldn’t have gone any worse for both parties, as both sides agreed to mutually part ways today. Odom is leaving the team without actually being released. Wait, what? What does that even mean? And isn’t this exactly what Odom wanted?...Full take »

Air Date:
New Season, Same Red Sox

New year, new manager, new closer, same Boston Red Sox. These cats picked up right where they left off: 7-20 in September, 0-3 in April, and in full blown choke mode. Look, the Tigers are no joke, but Boston’s meltdown yesterday was especially spectacular. They handed the game to temporary...Full take »

Air Date:
Sando Takes Pitcher Down

What do the following have in common: Towels, Trampolines and Mayonnaise? They’re all responsible for snipering an MLB’er this season. Miami pitcher Mark Buehrle wanted to make himself a sando before his first start last week, but sliced his thumb trying to open a jar of mayo. When told the...Full take »

Air Date:
Verlander’s Pregame Meal

You are what you eat, right? No you’re not. Because that would make Justin Verlander a stoner with late night munchies and no ambition. Because dude’s training table is Taco Bell. Full take »

Air Date:
A Ridiculous Hockey Play

Hate to be the guy who’s only talking hockey when a player reaches over the boards to make a play on the puck. But…it happened. Watch San Jose’s Ryane Clowe. Tie game, less than 3 minutes to play and the Kings break out in a power play rush when Clowe delivers a perfect poke check to...Full take »

Air Date:
How Ozzie Avoids Trouble Off The Field

I’ve always wondered how a guy who talks as much junk as Ozzie Guillen has managed to avoid trouble off the field. Don’t get me wrong, I love this cat. But he’s a bit of a loose cannon, and I have to think knuckleheads would always be looking to hook him. Come to find out, he knows that,...Full take »

Air Date:
More On The Creepy Saints Audio

After listening to that creepy audio of former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, you have to wonder why Sean Payton and the Saints even bothered with their appeal. Appeal? They’re lucky Roger Goodell doesn’t double their suspensions. If you can’t motivate your guys to go hard...Full take »

Air Date:
Bobby Petrino Is At It Again

Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino is at it again. If he’s not quitting on his team in the middle of the night (via letter), he’s running around on his wife with a subordinate half his age, laying his Harley down in the street and lying about it. Full take »

Air Date:
Bizarre And Awesome Day In Orlando

Mark it down: April 5, 2012, the most bizarre and awesome day in Orlando Magic history. Did you get a peek of Stan Van Gundy and Dwight Howard’s act yesterday? It was beautiful. What a train wreck. No sooner than Stanley said he’s uncomfortable with all the B.S., Dwight rolls over and starts...Full take »

Air Date:
A Quarter Of A Bill For Votto?

I don’t want anyone to tell me how to spend my money, so you’ll never hear me talking about other folks’ bank. But I do have to ask the Cincinnati Reds; did you really just guarantee Joey Votto an additional $250 million bones. Two-fitty?? Full take »

Air Date:
Marlins New Yard

If the idea of a big league ballpark is to reflect the vibe of the city, then the Miami Marlins nailed it. Because their new joint looks like a beach party with some baseball on the side. Crack of the bat? Fresh cut grass? Hot dogs? More like string bikinis, Pina Coladas, and Go-go dancers. If...Full take »

Air Date:
Tiger’s Family Tree Is Burning

Not sharing his sugar free popsicles is one thing. Refusing to speak with an ailing family member is another. ESPN reports Tiger Woods won’t return calls to his half brother, Kevin Woods, who is suffering from M.S., is confined to a wheelchair, needs a caretaker and is on the verge of losing...Full take »

Air Date:
Williams Caught On Tape

There’s a smoking gun. And then there’s a smoldering crater. That’s what Gregg Williams NFL coaching career looks like, now that his speech prior to the Niners playoff game has gone viral. Full take »

Air Date:
The Miami Heat Send A Message

The Miami Heat sent a message to the OKC Thunder and the rest of Association last night. Message being, we’re not punks. They know the rap against them. That they’re soft. And that if you hit em in the mouth they will fold. And that’s what the Thunder tried to do. First Kendrick Perkins...Full take »

Air Date:
Griffin vs. Gravity

Lakers v. Clippers felt more like Griffin v. Gravity. Just ask Pau Gasol. Griffin made a 7 footer look like a 7th grader. But it’s all good, Pau. Even the best ever get clowned at some point. And Griffin gets everyone. Full take »

Air Date:
Get A Helmet Coach

Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino showed up for his first press conference after laying down his Harley Davidson looking like a Freddy Krueger Hannibal Lecter hybrid. Dude suffered a cracked vertebra, and four fractured ribs. He’s lucky to still be breathing. Hey Bob, just because you coach...Full take »

Air Date:
The Safer Pick

Colts owner Jim Irsay said recently he’s not locked into taking Andrew Luck over Robert Griffin the third. No one’s buying that, including Griffin, who refused the Colts request for a private workout. Irsay may have had the stones to let Peyton Manning walk, but he isn’t brass enough to...Full take »

Air Date:
The Center Of The Sports World

And I can’t believe I’m about to say this but…the center of the sports world is Central Texas. Yeah I said it. And I said it because Baylor U is killing it. Look, there was a time when you thought of Baylor, you thought Big 12 tomato can. A warm up game for Texas or OU. I remember that...Full take »

Air Date:
40-0 Earns You Some Run

I’m not a huge women’s basketball honk, but I don’t care who you are, or what sport you play, you go 40-0, and win a National Championship like Baylor just did, you’ll get some run in this segment. And if you have a problem with Brittney Griner, you have a problem with yourself. Full take »

Air Date:
Kobe Hits Winner

And this is why Kobe is still Kobe and the Nets are still the Nets. Down 1 to the Lakers with 10 seconds to go, and 2.3 on the shot clock, it never dawned on New Jersey that L.A. might be looking to put the ball in Bryant’s hands. Uh oh! There wasn’t anyone within 10 feet of Bryant. I...Full take »

Air Date:
Flacco Says He’s The Best

Ravens Q.b. Joe Flacco is angling for a new contract so he and his agent are making up a bunch of nonsense to try to drive the number up. First, his agent Joe Linta said Flacco was a top five NFL Qb. And then, Flacco upped the ante by telling Baltimore radio station WNST, he’s the...Full take »

Air Date:
Calipari’s Future

Now that John Calipari has won his NCAA title and has nothing left to prove in the college ranks, is he headed back to the NBA? I don’t see it. Only way he leaves is if he finds a gig where he can win immediately, and have total control and unlimited spending. In short, a perfect situation....Full take »

Air Date:
Lions Running Back Eats Chron

Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure needs to start showing up in court and stop eating weed. Leshoure skipped his arraignment after cops busted him for trying to conceal his hippie lettuce by grubbing it. I don’t know, maybe he got baked, got hungry, got confused and figured he’d eat...Full take »

Air Date:
Corner Scores A 4 On Wonderlic

You can set your clock to it. Every year between the NFL Owner’s Meetings and the draft, a future Draft pick gets his wonderlic score leaked and the entire internet has a big laugh about it. Like message boarders are a bunch of Rhodes Scholars. Full take »

Air Date:
It’s Go Time Melo

Memo to Melo: it’s go time. Amare Stoudemire’s busted up. Jeremy Lin is out of action. You got everything you wanted. Your ticket to New York. Your coach fired. And the offensive system of your choice: the one where everything runs through you and you can jack it up 35 times a night. Full take »

Air Date:
Eldrick At Augusta

The Masters is firing up, Tiger Woods is coming off his first legitimate PGA Tour win in 30 months, so everyone is asking, is he finally back and is he the guy to beat this week at Augusta. No. And no. Back? No. Back on track, maybe. Full take »

Air Date:
A 240 Pound Tasker

Tim Tebow has said he’s looking to expand his role with the Jets in any way he can. And apparently the team is willing to take him up on that offer and are considering using him on special teams. Rex Ryan told Peter King Tebow could line up at personal protector on the punt. Full take »

Air Date:
Anthony Davis Is An Absolute Freak

Anthony Davis is a freak. He’s the only cat I know who could have his worst offensive effort to date, yet dominate the same game completely. Think Bill Self would have taken Davis shooting 1-10 from the field before that game? Sure, but not if he knew the guy would finish with 16 boards, 6...Full take »

Air Date:
Cal Is Validated

If you were looking for John Calipari to jump on the scorer’s table and scream ‘how do you like me now’, you’re begging. This guy will never give you want you want. Nor was he going to abandon his script: “This is not about me. This is about these 13 players. This is about the Big Blue...Full take »
