Column: The game will retire Farve first • Don’t look for the Packers’ legendary quarterback to retire on his own terms

During the Green Bay Packers’ blowout win against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, Brett Favre chucked a snowball at one of his linemen; receiving gobs of praise from the Fox Sports commentators about how he enjoys his job more than Ronald McDonald and his painted-on smile enjoy shucking burgers for McDonald’s. Aside from the annoying [...]

Quickie: Rasho does his best Shawn Bradley imitation, in a related story Kevin Durant can dunk

Man he got yoked on! That’s disgusting. I think I need to make a top facial post with help from Youtube.
What are some of your favorite dunks over people? Post below if any come to mind…

Travis Henry does a great Smokey from Friday impression: Broncos running back likely faces lengthy suspension

Travis Henry apparently likes weed.
(story: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3049721)
He likes it enough to not play football for a year, he likes it enough to throw away millions of dollars, he likes it enough to lose his livelihood; he likes it enough to jeopardize the future of his, *ahem* nine children by nine different women across four states. [...]

If I Did It: The Confession of a Fantasy Football Mastermind

The various superstars of The Departed™ assemble during a recent team outing to Calhoun Square in Minneapolis.
By the time Peyton Manning hit a streaking Reggie Wayne in stride to pass for his third touchdown in the NFL season opener, I was already dancing in the middle of the room, high-fiving a friend of mine – [...]

When an NBA player, drugs and live television come together…

The results are usually priceless. This latest clip comes courtesy of NBC Sports’ Mike’d Up, with Stephon “Starbury” Marbury. It’s about nine in a half minutes and worth every bizarre second. Here are some excerpts:
Earlier, Marbury rambles about going for a championship. Later, the interviewer asks him about going for a championship and Marbury says [...]

When a manager plays in the dirt, throws a base into the outfield AND tosses the rosin bag like it’s a grenade, it’s probably not a good night

This is without a doubt the best ejection I’ve witnessed. The crawling grenade attack really takes it to the next level. The clip comes courtesy of the Atlanta Braves’ AA affiliate, the Mississippi Braves’ manager Phillip Wellman.

It’s pronounced “mill-e-wah-que” which is Algonquin for “the good land.”

That’s right. Racing Sausages, High Life at the ballpark, Bill Hall and tailgating. What a great weekend coming up. I figured Randall Simon deserved to be memorialized.
Today we embark on Milwaukee, in the search of watching Scott Baker pitch. (Wait….what?? Last year we at least saw Liriano.)
Okay, so Scott Baker sucks. Hopefully by the [...]

He’s not a machine! He’s a man!

Joe Mauer is the greatest catcher and baseball player ever to grace a baseball diamond. Joe Mauer’s seeing-eye singles make men cheer, women faint and children weep. He sees through walls. He can jump 10 feet in the air, flat footed. He runs the 40-yard dash in two seconds flat. He’s from St. Paul, too.
Joe [...]

The Cable Guy could not be reached for comment

After the years of AAU basketball, I can’t believe we never did this. The sad thing is realizing that I would have been the poor sap who ended up as the human stool. There’s some of you who still coach grade school teams - I expect to see this brought out along with the “bark [...]
