Warning: This video is not for anyone easily offended by derogatory words concerning female anatomy. Curious?  Yeah, I thought so.  I haven't watched a second of MSNBC's Olympics coverage, but I think I need to start right away.  Particularly for the "Olympic Update" segments featuring co-hosts Tiki Barber and Jenna Wolfe.  Tiki, as most of you probably know, was a running back for the New York Giants until 2006, when he retired under less than friendly terms with the team.  They of course ...

After months of speculation, it's now official - the nearly 20-year radio partnership between Mike Francesa and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo is no more.  Russo reached an accord with WFAN (and corporate parent CBS) wherein he agreed to stop showing up and they agreed to stop paying him, while Francesa signed a new multi-year contract and is for now the sole host of the show formerly known as Mike and the Mad Dog. Honestly, I think WFAN is getting the raw ... Read on, Daddy-O

No matter what poor Aaron Rodgers does for the Green Bay Packers, it's highly unlikely that he will ever be able to live up to the legacy of a certain quarterback who wore #4 and whose name has been mentioned way too much for my liking lately. But while most of the media focus has been on the story of another aging star quarterback moving to a new team (invoking names like Joe Namath and Johnny Unitas in the process), what about those ...

I'm not sure how things work outside the New York City television market, but we have this annoyingly restrictive setup when it comes to NFL broadcasts.  Whether or not you like the Jets or Giants, they're almost always the only games you get to watch on Sunday afternoon.  And it usually works out that the Jets game is on at 1, then the Giants at 4.  There are no other games broadcast opposite them, and the networks pretty much never cut away ...

If there's one event that affords Americans a chance to revel in both an overinflated sense of our importance in the world and a near-total ignorance of just about every other part of the globe, it's the Olympics.  And while the sight of the American flag and the sound of a canned rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" will likely be fixtures at this year's Beijing Games (we are sending nearly 600 athletes, second only to China), there are a lot of countries ...

The scene: Lambeau Field, early morning on July 27... Brett Favre, helmet in hand, strides onto the practice field and approaches Aaron Rodgers as a phalanx of reporters and fans cheers. BRETT FAVRE Hey Aaron!  I'm here buddy!  Listen, I know I said I was done with football, but I just couldn't stay away.  I hope that's cool with you, man. Aaron looks around tentatively and takes a few steps back.  He runs directly in front of Brett, wheels back his right leg, and kicks him ... Read on, Daddy-O

I was tooling around Wikipedia after watching Eight Men Out and came across this nugget.  Did you know...baseball legends Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were banned from Major League Baseball (or more accurately, they were placed on the "permanently ineligible" list) by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn in the early '80s?  Mantle and Mays had accepted jobs at two different Atlantic City casinos (mainly as greeters), which Kuhn felt was "no place for a baseball hero and Hall of Famer."  The pair were reinstated ...

I had to read the headline twice to make sure it wasn't a typo, but apparently the NHL is looking to have MSG removed as owner of the New York Rangers.  MSG sued the NHL last September, claiming that when the league took over promotional efforts for the Rangers they violated antitrust laws.  So league commish Gary Bettman went mushroom cloud on MSG in retaliation and wants to kick them out. I didn't see his name listed in the article, but I wouldn't ... Read on, Daddy-O

I'm not a huge basketball fan, but being in the New York radio & TV market and being a sports fan has made it nigh impossible to not know something of the disaster that was Isiah Thomas's reign as head coach and president of basketball operations for the New York Knicks. In four full seasons as the team president and two as head coach, Isiah's Knicks set new standards in futility, twice tying the team record for losses in a season ... Read on, Daddy-O

CBS recently announced that they will begin airing cage fighting (aka mixed martial arts or MMA) this spring. In reading the article, I was reminded of something I see quite often whenever advocates of the sport defend it - they try to play up the strategy aspect of MMA and how it does actually prohibit a lot of nastiness such as gouging eyes or striking groins. Then they actually try to pass MMA off as some kind of beautiful ritual ... Read on, Daddy-O
