It's going to be a big weekend for what I like to call "not-sports".
We have the Belmont Stakes, The Stihl Timbersports Championships and Nascar. We're also a week removed from the National Spelling Bee and the World Series of Poker is apparently ongoing.
Just because something can be gambled on, it ...

Will Big Brown complete the trifecta or will an upstart horse ruin his day?
1. Big Brown - The winner of the first two legs of the Triple Crown. We all know how good he is, favorite to win.

Big Brown might have won the second leg of the Triple Crown, but the real action was on the infield of Pimlico. From the porta-john racing, fights, and a report of a couple fornicating in front of a large crowd: the Preakness did not disappoint. Here are some of my ...

Good thing I took King Ing's predictions because that $200 was burning a hole in my wallet. I spent the afternoon watching Angels vs Dodgers interleage play, but took a 2 minute break to watch the Preakness. Here it is again, with Big Brown running in a league of his ...

The Preakness is my favorite live sporting event; not only because of the animalistic behavior of everyone in the infield, but because I like betting on every race without an inkling of race horse knowledge (except for the Triple Crown race of course). You can call it a degenerate activity, ...

The Preakness Stakes means the second leg of the Triple Crown to most. But to those that actually invade the infield, it means something else. Basically 120,000 people, mostly college kids and young professionals getting hammered and inventing all types of idiotic things to do. First it was beer wars. ...

From Deadspin comes the greatest way to sneak booze into the racetrack. Cadaverblender gives you a "step by step booklet" on how to make the ultimate alcohol sandwich. I think its great for sneaking the bottle of Crown Royal in, but is it really necessary to eat the sandwich. It ...

As always, Vince Vaughn serves as the voice of reason.
In Old School, Vaughn's character tried to comfort Luke Wilson over the death of Blue, by explaining that Blue was old, and old people die. That's how I feel about this Derby situation.
Is it sad? Sure, I guess so. ...

With the horrific life ending injury to Eight Belles, it was only time before PETA would release a statement.
"This young filly's death may have been humane, but the race sure wasn't. PETA is calling for the immediate suspension of jockey Gabriel Saez�who whipped Eight Belles mercilessly as she came down ...
