Zitat des Tages von Stephen Rodrick:
When superstars go down, no matter how sympathetic the circumstances, fans know the franchise could be sunk.
I arrive a month premature, with my dad's brains but not much else.
The everybody-loves-Jeff Bridges home base is, of course, 'The Big Lebowski.'
Stephen A. Smith is the hardest-working man in sports show business. The ubiquitous basketball pundit appears on ESPN about 10 times a day as a regular on the show 'NBA Fastbreak,' a guest commentator on 'Sports Center,' and a pundit on 'ESPNEWS.'
A colleague once nicknamed me - half mocking - the 'magical stranger' because I get people to tell me things.
Rick Rubin's undulating face hair is just as famous as his body of work. In homage to the yogis he read about as a boy on Long Island, Rubin hasn't shaved since he was 23. It's long been his registered trademark.
I've seen few things more depressing than the end-of-season Giants-Padres series in 2001 in which Barry Bonds hit his 68th homer of the year while a .227-hitting, rapidly fossilizing Rickey Henderson staggered like a delirious marathoner toward 3,000 hits.

Robert Downey Jr. doesn't work out like us regular folks. Adulation bathes him from the moment he arrives at his Los Angeles martial arts studio.

I was a classic attention deficit disorder kid, always bored and mouthing off at school.
Peter Rodrick was one of only around 4,000 men in the world qualified to land jets on a carrier after dark.
Some eco groups suggest that as many as 73 million sharks are killed globally every year. Hammerheads, blue sharks, mako sharks - they're disappearing, and they ain't coming back.
Celebs that hit the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills quadrant and places like the Urth Caffe are not exactly trying to keep a low profile; it's sort of like if LeBron James went to an ESPN Zone and then whined about being hounded for autographs.
I grew up in a town without fathers.
Rick Rubin eats no cheese.
Maybe it's impossible to spend time with Patrick Stewart and not have the conversation move to the extraterrestrial.
