Heeeere’s Jonny! Gomes Lifts Red Sox to Extra Inning Win over Twins
He’s hitting .183 on the season. His slugging percentage (.310) would be good if it were his batting average. The supposed lefty-masher has just six hits (albeit two home runs) in 37 at-bats against left-handed pitching – in other words, half his strikeout total in those plate appearances (12). Nonetheless, despite going hitless last night, [...]

In just the second game at [...]
Video: Brandon Bass Dunks on Nets’ Brook Lopez in Celtics’ Loss
For those of you Boston Celtics fans who have thrown in the towel on the regular season and are looking forward to the NBA playoffs in a little over a week (!!!), I don’t blame you. A likely first round matchup with the New York Knicks is much more enticing than the prospect of Doc [...]

Video: Tom Brady Takes Out Easter Bunny
Terrell Suggs might turn out to be right after all. If everyone didn’t hate the New England Patriots already, they will after Tom Brady was caught on tape taking out the Easter Bunny with one well-placed football between its floppy ears.

Patriots Should Sign Ex-Raven Pollard
On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens continued dismantling its Super Bowl Champion roster (so painful to type) by releasing strong safety Bernard Pollard, the seventh player lost from last year’s team.
