The Sports Bizzo

By Jon (yep... you read that right)... John Hollinger doesn't get it. I read ESPN religiously, and I continually hate myself for doing so. ESPN may very well be the reason behind the rise and fall of sports media. I know Ben Stiller was gunning for a laugh when he came up with "The Ocho" in Dodgeball, but he wasn't too far off the mark. I name drop John Hollinger for a reason. He's one of the increasing number of hacks that populate the ESPN ... Read More

Doug, I'd say you were a lucky SOB, but you didn't actually get to meet Melissa Rycroft, so you're not. But... Merry Christmas from Toph, Jon, Christian and the rest of The Sports Bizzo contributors. Read More

By Jon... Weekly Grumblings, my ass. I'm sure that's what y'all are thinking. Well, I've needed to build up some things to grumble about. So here we go, a marathon version of the grumblings.... 1. If I see one more box score or headline that says Devin Harris has set another career high in points, I'm gonna kill someone. Harris scored 47 points the other day, FORTY SEVEN POINTS!!! That's ridiculous. Why did the Mavs trade him again? Oh right, for that old man ... Read More

By Jon... I know we're getting into the thick of football season and there's absolutely no reason for me to even be thinking about basketball, but this is urgent. I know I said a few weeks ago that I wasn't going to talk about the Mavs anymore for now, but again this is urgent. And I know I haven't done a Mendoza Line segment in at least two months, but, if I'm correct, I think we might have our first two-time winner.... JOSH HOWARD... A ... Read More

Hey Bizzo fans, it's me, Toph. I haven't seen Jon online all day so I'm doing his Mendoza Line for him. Frankly, because this deserves immediate attention. Ashley Harkleroad's Playboy photos have finally surfaced, and they're less than good. OK, so she's an athlete chick and she's naked, that alone makes it post worthy. However, the results weren't what we were hoping for. Being a guy who has seen his fair share of naked chicks on tennis courts, this does less for ... Read More

Part I - By Jon… In an apparent attempt to prove to his Chicago Bears employers he truly is a dual-threat running back, Cedric Benson has coupled his DWB (Drunk While Boating) arrest with a DUI arrest while in Downtown Austin last night. According to ESPN.com, Benson was pulled over for running a red light, refused to submit to a breathalyzer or give blood samples to Austin Police. He maintains that neither arrest was valid and will fight both of them in court. It's good ... Read More

By Jon… We here at The Mendoza Line have a few steadfast rules we follow in our weekly selection. And they are as follows: 1. Your last name must be Mendoza to make the final decision. 2. You must write for the The Bizzo. Pretty much makes me the be all and end all. However...I am open to suggestions. And this week's selection was just that. At the behest of Toph, this week's choice for the Mendoza Line.... Danica Patrick. Whoa, whoa, relax D. Piddy. It might turn out ... Read More
