We at AH HQ were disappointed to find out that J-Bla’s favorite White Sox pitcher has been consigned to the minors.
From the four total games Lance Broadway appeared in with the White Sox during the 2007 campaign, only one came out of the starting rotation.
Yet, Broadway’s teammates gave a good-natured teasing to the right-hander as […]

We do like to occasionally throw out a bone to fans of not-soccer-football.
In the offseason, the NFL is committed to upholding its image as a serious organization devoted to upholding the integrity of the game. What epic problems face the NFL this offseason? Spygate? The reinstatement of Pacman Jones? The terrifying prospect that Eli […]

Globe Sports writer Roy MacGregor wrote a very informative and bizarrely readable profile of Alexei Kovalev for the Toronto paper today.

Football: I haven’t even heard of an arrest yet.
Basketball: Playoff race but the NBA’s too goddamn boring to watch.

Seeing this picture may just give you flashbacks to your childhood, if you’re about my age.
Yes, gents, Tommy Lasorda is filling in as manager for the Dodgers and he, at least, can still bring the heat off the bench.

Quick link over to Jim Caple’s “Rolling in Rubles,” a story about a Russian women’s basketball league that pays players upward of $400,000/year.
