Are you ready for some football?....Sit Down! The Kansas City Chiefs have a "Fan Code of Conduct," which is essentially a list of rules that fans have to follow when they're attending a game at Arrowhead.

3,494 and counting. The baseball-seeking savant from Manhattan has tricks galore to help him snare a prized souvenir at a major league game, like lowering his glove on a string to pluck up a ball resting far below on the warning track during batting practice. Or his “fumbling with a slice of pizza” ploy to sneak past an usher and move closer to the dugout.

I took my two sons and two of their friends to a game recently. We were able to get 3 balls during batting practice -- all of them tossed by the Angels outfielders. I am glad this guy wasn't there so they had a chance. I am amazed that he can get that many. My oldest did get two during one batting practice between the Padres and the Rockies. (I don't bring a glove to the game either-- I bring boys!). Although I did get one off a HR during batting practice at Dodger stadium before I had children.

How do you get pucks? I've been to a dozen or so games and never have gotten one!

Dodgers beat Angels without a hit. The Dodgers became the fifth team in modern major league history to win without getting a hit. Because they didn’t have to bat in the ninth, the game doesn’t qualify as a no-hitter.

At least my son (the Angel fan) can say to his friend (the Dodger fan) -- my team no-hit your team!

I remember this story even though I have never been a basketball fan. The impact of his story is not that he died but the results of his death (the war on drugs -- stricter laws and enforcement). Because his death brought drug use to the public's attention, Congress reacted and hurriedly passed laws that met the public's demands but were they really the right laws with the right consequences?

George Carlin: (Late) Sports Authority Mourning the passing of the ultimate arbiter in the "Is it a sport or not?" debate. Also reference his famous comparison between baseball and football.

I had to break the news to my children that Filmore had died. Some day when they are older, they can get to know Filmore's other side.

A dazzling Manny being Manny moment I saw this on ESPN this morning and burst out laughing as soon as I saw the high-five. There are few players who could get away with doing something like that.

Teen is running out of innings, but the game still isn't over The 18-year-old kid dying of cancer gets his wish, a chance to swing a bat maybe one last time in a real baseball game.

Perfect? Despite Super Bowl loss, 18-1 football team wants "19-0" trademarks

I'm thinking that the Vikes have the 8-8 covered.

If you really wanted to curse them, wouldn't it have been better to put a Tampa Bay shirt under the Yanks clubhouse?

Coudal Partners had less than a week to come up with TV spots advertising the new Chicago Blackhawks home television schedule, and here's what they came up with: Fifteen Years, Are you serious?, My Goal, and Soda.

Judge Hits Andy Reid Out of Bounds A county judge called the home of the Philadelphia Eagles' coach a "drug emporium" when sentencing his adult sons Garrett and Britt to jail time for drug- and weapon-related offenses Thursday, questioning why so many prescription drugs were around a house with two known abusers. Both have been living with Reid, who took a five-week leave when they were arrested on the same day in January, but their parents have not been implicated in their crimes. "This is a family in crisis," Judge Steven O'Neill said.
