Last call for Shelley Smith

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Busted Coverage has video of Shelley Smith "closing down the bar" in Detroit this past weekend. Not sure if she just tripped on something or just plain stumbled into the guys arms. Either way it brings us to the question of the weekend...Who was in worse shape, King Ing or Shelley ...

The Spectacular Sports Illustrated Elite Eight Cover

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

So I just saw the new Sports Illustrated cover featuring Sam Young, Gerald Henderson, Hasheem Thabeet, and Ty Lawson; among others. While it is classic, The Sporting News added one little feature to their version of the cover that makes it so much better.

Obligatory A-Rod Opinion Piece

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Before we get into it, here's my Arod story: When the Yankees traded for Alex Rodriguez, I was excited. Actually, excited is a bit of an understatement. A woman I worked with described it as "a constant creepy grin that I wish you would cut out."  I also went out and ...

Snoop hangs out with JA Adande and Tony Reali on Around the Horn

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

For some reason Snoop Dogg was hanging out with JA Adande and the rest of the Around the Horn crew talking about Lebron James' future as a Cleveland Cavalier. Just totally random, but I just wanted to say, where does Tony Reali get off muting Snoop? I went to college with ...

Is This the Change We Can Believe In?

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Now that we've elected the first basketball President, it seems our media worlds are colliding.

Fashion Intern Fights with TV Host

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

An Open Letter to TBS

Dear Turner Broadcasting Station, Congratutulations on your aquisition of Major League Baseball's Playoff Package. So far, things have been pretty good. Ernie Johnson is loveable as ever during the pre and post game show, and Ron Darling is clearly developing into one of the great analysts on tv. You're coverage has not been without ...

An Inconvenient Post

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

ESPN reporter Shelley Smith was among the 75,000 people on hand at Mile High to see Barack Obama accept the Democratic Nomination for President. Clearly, she was not there to see Al Gore at the DNC. Our "informant", who snapped this shot, says Shelley spoke throughout the former Vice President's entire ...

Is That It?

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

I'm pretty sure Neil Best just filed his last watchdog blog entry over at Newsday.com.  I hope I'm wrong. But if I'm not, allow me to take a moment to honor the man's accomplishments. Of all the newspaper writers who have tried to make the move into blogging, Neil Best did ...
