In the brief few months since Lane Kiffin became head coach at Tennessee, he’s managed to offend Urban Meyer and Florida football … twice, piss off Nick Saban at Alabama, and take a shot at Steve Spurrier and South Carolina. At first I thought Kiffin’s actions were kind of cool ...

Matt Jones is working his way up to Pacman Jones status here at LBS. Hopefully he’s got enough in him to keep this fire fueled for a few more years. First the Jags bust of a wide receiver got caught chopping lines of cocaine in his car along with some friends in Fayetteville last year. It both...

Attention ladies: if you ever want to know how to make your sport interesting, this is how it’s done. Oklahoma women’s college basketball player Courtney Paris went out and made pretty much the guarantee of the century. Simply said, she put her money where her mouth is: Last week during ...

Under pressure from ESPN reporting last year, Houston Astros SS Miguel Tejada finally admitted he was two years older than what he had told MLB all along. That in turn persuaded Julio Franco to come out and admit he was really in his 50s when he played his last years of pro ball with Atlanta and New...

I’ve been down with the Easterns Motors commercials since way back in the day, like dang, two freaking years ago when LBS was just in its infancy. I guess one of the benefits of satellite TV is getting to see all the local commercials outside your region that you have no clue about. (BTW, what...

I doubt this bill actually gets passed because it’s pretty outrageous. Nonetheless, it’s worth pointing out what’s floating around out there. There’s a proposed bill in North Carolina that would end athletics in high schools that score below the 50th percentile for end of yea...

When I first called for the Cardinals to stop screwing around and get Kurt Warner signed already, we joked around that the lord had told him he deserved a raise and that he should use the 49ers for leverage. Well, turns out we weren’t too far from the truth. Check out this beauty that Warner u...

It’s too bad I wasn’t unleashed on this Earth until Straw’s rookie season because from what I’ve been told, he was a pretty darn good ballplayer. By the time I began to understand anything about anything, Strawberry was just a coked-out flame-out the Dodgers were trying to re...

For a guy who hasn’t pitched in over a year, Curt Schilling still manages to keep his name in the news like Britney Spears making a comeback album. Perhaps it’s because he keeps his own blog — 38 Pitches — and because he would have an opinion on the modern proliferation of fo...
