Sadly, that will never happen if you keep listening to your owner, Dan Gilbert. Gilbert is doing a wonderful job of playing the dumped wife who can’t help… Read More Open Letter to Cleveland Cavalier Fans: Congratulations, You Sound Like an Ex-Wife

Remember the good old days when the arrest of a sports figure brought lurid tales of sex and/or drugs, or at least a slow-speed Bronco chase?

In fact, this past week has shown us they’ve become downright lame.… Read More This Week in Silly Arrests

That’s right, America. We have yet another episode in the never-ending “dude/not a dude” saga of South African runner Caster Semenya. After 11 months, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has now decided that Semenya is apparently “female enough” to return to sanctioned competition. “The process initiated in 2009 in the case of Caster… Read More My Wiener Has A First Name, It’s C-A-S-T-E-R…
Sometimes, great records are eclipsed in odd places. For example, Cal Ripken Jr. and Dave Winfield both collected their 300oth hits in the frozen wastes of Minnesota. Paul Molitor got his in a place most baseball fans under 20 have barely heard of (Kansas City). Tony Gwynn passed the 3000 mark in a baseball venue… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 7/2/10 – History Happens in Strange Places

Being a Notre Dame hater meant collecting files full of material on Charlie Weis, their ass-bag former coach who we can be pretty sure will never patrol a college sideline again. That being the case, we have a ton of stuff that now is about as useful as Coach Fatbag’s NordicTrack. However, this stuff is… Read More File Dump: The Charlie Weis Edition
Wednesday night brought more history from Moyer, who at the age of 47 years 155 days became the oldest pitcher to notch a “W” over the Yankees. But all the future hall-of-famer cares about is the win. “I don’t think that I’m old. So I don’t believe it. Regardless of what people think or say… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 6/17/10
Does a ten-pound bag of flour make a really big biscuit? First of all, we’re not talking about that Carlos Santana. This one is one of the most touted rookies not flinging death-bullets for the Nationals. Sadly enough for Carlos, he did nearly meet his maker at the hands of a Nat, just not Stephen… Read More Ask The Geico Guy: Is Carlos Santana Happy Adam Dunn Is In The Other League?
There’s an old saying about necessity being the mother of invention. Add some desperation and a heaping helping of good, old-fashioned horny, and you get this: Now, I ask you: Is there a better combination of monstrously disturbing and sickeningly funny? Even if there is a sweaty pervert out there who could legitimately answer “yes,”… Read More Great Moments in Inflatable Doll History

Battered in this battle over… Read More Los Angeles is Now Truly The City of the Angels
Two words: this picture. Not that there is anything wrong with the “less than masculine” pose, but here’s the deal, Glen “Fat Baby” Davis. You need to win the damn trophy before you get be all cute with it.

Leave it to Chicago to find a way to fuck up anything it touches, like a sports day that should have been a tremendous one in the Windy City. After all, it isn’t every day you get to have a victory parade. But when the time came for Chicagoans to stop celebrating the Blackhawks’ capture… Read More Wrigley Field: A Perfect Site For a Disasters
Last time out, the future Hall-of-Famer looked as such, tossing a complete game victory. This time out was a bit of a different story; Moyer was on the recieving end of an artillery barrage that would have given Edmund L. Gruber cannon envy.

This means we here at Dubsism had lots of material in our files on Bowden; a lot of material that became… Read More File Dump: The Bobby Bowden Edition
In a sound-bite world, Colorado coach Dan Hawkins has offered some real belly-busters.
