« Previous EntriesBlog Show 50: Celebrating Under Protest
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Mrs. Relevant, a first-grade teacher, goes all out when a celebration is called for: arts & crafts, photo collages and baked goods that come out of the oven shaped like stuff. For her, it’s all about theme development. For me, it’s all about going to Party City and dropping $20 on an armload of nothing.

South Carolina Will Satisfy That Ass
Friday, May 30th, 2008We’re a “sports blog,” which means we aren’t supposed to be interested in “anything else” outside of athletics, so posting this is admittedly a stretch. What I can tell you is that it plays a lot while I’m watching sporting events, so there’s that.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, here is [...]
Wanted: Yahoo! Sports Olympics Blogger
Friday, May 30th, 2008Since last October, Yahoo! Sports has been hiring bloggers for and building a blogs & community foundation with new sites such as Ball Don’t Lie, Shutdown Corner, From the Marbles, Big League Stew, The Dagger, Puck Daddy and Roto Arcade. We’ll continue doing that with new blogs for college football, MMA and more (probably soccer, [...]

Eventually, Steinz and I worked up the nerve to stop gawking and start talking for the Blog Show interview that’ll run on Comcast SportsNet and YouTube Tuesday evening. Stay tuned for maximum awkwardness.
Happy Birthday, Chris, You Filthy Animal
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Christopher Andrew Mottram was born 26 years ago today, one day prior to the start of Cal Ripken’s consecutive games streak. As a good older brother, I celebrated by ensuring that the first 13 years or so of his life were a living hell (hence the Anger!), but he has since won me over. So [...]
Chris Cooley’s Wedding Looks Like Fun
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Captain Chaos gets awesome in all endeavors, so I wouldn’t expect any less from him on the dancefloor at his own wedding reception:
That would be Mr. Cooley shirtless — but not vest-less, no sir — as the party wound down late Friday night. And, you know, the same thing happened at my friend’s wedding, except [...]
Camden Yards Is Conducive to Homers
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008As glorious as the Mottram man trip to Camden was on Monday, yesterday’s game may have outdone it (although I am a sucker for some great pitching and defense). It had a little bit of everything, including free baseball, which is the best you can hope for at a ballgame. Most notable, however, were the [...]
Get the Jim Zorn ‘Zorn Star’ T-Shirt, Another Mr. Irrelevant-289 Collabo
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Despite rocky beginnings, we, as Skins fans, are moving ahead and pledging allegiance to new head coach Jim Zorn. Or kneeling before Zorn. Or becoming children of the Zorn. What have you, for he is the Zorn Star, and we won’t even tarnish him with “Maroon & Black” anymore.
That’s right, on the heels of the [...]
Dave Butz Was All Over These Chicks
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Looking at twin cheerleaders in NFL history is always good clean fun, and, while it’s not my standard fare (the Opposite Sex tag is generally reserved for Chris), just look at these Redskinettes circa 1979:
Cheer fashion hasn’t changed a bit in 30 years! Winged perms and wrestling onesies all the rage these days, yeah? It’s [...]
Meet the World’s Most Literal Brewers Fan
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Upon seeing Milwaukee play the D.C. nine, it can be said that the Brewers join the Wizards as teams that should certainly go back to their old colors. It was evident throughout the Park as the vast majority of visiting fans wore vintage Brew Crew Blue, with this guy serving as Milwaukee’s finest:
What follows [...]
