Marion Jones is 34 years old, spent time in prison, used performance-enhancing drugs, had five gold medals stripped from her and had three kids. She was just signed to a one-year contract by the newly-relocated-from-Detroit Tulsa Shock to play basketball this year.
Her bid for a new career comes a decade after she starred at the [...]

my only olympic post

The only time I’ve chanted USA! USA! USA! in the last couple of weeks was the other night at the bar when Jenni (USA) was arm wrestling Jumi (CAN). And that was only because I’d had a couple of drinks and well take any chance I can get to yell loudly in a bar. Other [...]

I got the following email from ESPN yesterday:

I don’t think I should have to list the reasons why it makes me want to punch babies (that’s my latest thing when I get mad), but it’s your lucky day, because I’m in a sharing mood.
The subject line of this email: Valentine’s Special — Give Your Guy [...]

Let me tell you a few things that make me uncomfortable to watch.
1. Someone throwing up.
2. Someone making a complete ass of themselves on TV.

If it weren’t for my obsession with ESPN’s Streak for the Cash, the fact that I hadn’t sat down to watch a full NFL game this season is enough to get my sports fan membership taken away. I [...]

When Stephanie and I went to Chicago a few years ago, we were determined to visit ESPNZone. We didn’t get around to it until our last day there, but despite her probably broken tail bone and my chipped vertebrae and jacked up right rotator cuff that I’d encountered a few days before we left (thanks [...]

For the past few months, I’ve been extremely obsessed with ESPN’s Streak for the Cash. I’m not at all great at it. And I think that’s a good thing. If I was awesome at picking the winners of all these different sporting events online without having to put down any cash at all, I’m sure [...]

I did some freelancing work tonight and ended up staying up later than originally planned. I was all set to go to bed and plan on finishing things up first thing tomorrow morning, but then I looked on the internet.
There’s a Woot-Off happening right now. I’m not really planning on buying anything, but the idea [...]
