The Rocket won his 350th game last night with a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins, but he still couldn’t launch the Yankees any closer to the first-place Red Sox or second-place Blue Jays. In fact, despite the win, the Bronx Bombers spiraled farther down into the abyss of 2007. Alex Rodriguez, who for the

The Knicks Take Kick In The Ass

Written by Jason Singer on June 29, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

The Knicks made an enormously needed move last night at the NBA Draft, when the hometown team finally traded egotistical and absurdly over-paid point guard Steve “Franchise” Francis (he came up with the nickname himself!), whose one-and-a-half-year experiment here in the Big Apple failed. This seems like a good move, right? Not when the talented

NBA Drafts For Fresh Entertainers

Written by Jason Singer on June 28, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

There’s a convention of extremely rich black people taking place at Madison Square Garden tonight. It’s called the 2007 NBA Draft. Of course, there will be some white people there, too.

Bombing In The Bronx

Written by Jason Singer on June 27, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Just 15 days ago, The New York Times’ Murray Chass predicted that “at the rate at which the Yankees are slashing into Boston’s lead in the American League East, they will pass the Red Sox in the standings by July 4.” Brilliant, brilliant prediction, Mr. Chass. You have shown a level of foresight only equaled

ESPN released a list this morning of the “101 sporting events worth seeing in your lifetime,” and although many of the events aren’t city-specific, The Big Apple still found its way into the directory three times.

Brooklyn Boxer Kicks Ass

Written by Jason Singer on June 20, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Brooklyn-born boxer Paulie Malignaggi (pronounced Mal-in-ya-gee), a.k.a “The Magic Man,” defeated Lovemore N’dou to win the IBF Junior Welterweight Championship on Saturday night in Connecticut.

What Are The Odds?

Written by John DeSio on June 8, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Talk about unlucky. On Wednesday during the Principal Charity Classic pro-am golf tournament at the Glen Oaks Country Club, actor Rob Lowe put a ball into the air and struck a small goldfinch in mid-flight.
