…For the season. Nationals closer Chad Cordero will miss the rest of the season with a torn right labrum.
The team has not disclosed what caused the tear, but OTR believes that he hurt it doing something.
“I had a bullpen [session] on Thursday and I didn’t feel comfortable, and I said something about it,” Cordero [...]

In a move that will surely disappoint tens upon dozens of 12-year olds in the 617 area code, David Ortiz won’t play in the 2008 All-Star game.
“I’m going to the All-Star Game but I’m not going to be able to play,” Ortiz said. “But I’ve got to bring myself out there and show respect to [...]

Ok, sort of. He actually left the mound with the trainer Monday night with an apparent injury. We may have overreacted a bit in the headline.

The offense has been named to Profootballtalk’s All-Turd team for 2008. It’s right here.
Surprise, surprise that Chris Henry and Brandon Marshall are on the list.
Perry: I don’t think this is warranted or fair, but Philip Rivers is on this ‘All-turd team.’ Florio explains, “Acts like a spoiled brat more often than not. [...]

Rotoworld.com ranks the top 250 players in MLB based on well they think that player will do for the rest of the season in a 5×5 fantasy baseball league.
Joey Votto at #211?? That’s just stupid. We did our own 250 lists over and over again this weekend and never did Votto climb past [...]

If you didn’t think the Broncos WR was a dick before, you probably will now. The Denver Post outlines three incidents that occurred in 2007 in which Marshall’s girlfriend accuses him of hitting her. He wasn’t arrested in any of the instances. Directly copied and pasted from the article due to laziness:
In [...]

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, former Detroit Lions RB is considering signing with the Tampa Bay Bucs. If that happens, ignore our other post about Earnest Graham being a good fantasy bet. Yes, they just signed Graham to a three-year, $10.5 million deal, but that is hardly big enough dough to [...]

Patriots DB/KR Willie Andrews has been arrested for allegedly putting a gun to his girlfriend’s head after she accused him of cheating.
Well, what was he supposed to do?
He was charged with assault by means of a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm. Nice work.

We spoke with a league source who confirmed some internet rumors that San Diego Padres pitcher Randy Wolf is headed to the Yankees. The deal would send Wolf to NY for Jeff Marquez and a player to be named later.
We aren’t officially reporting this as a done deal, but merely stoking the flames of [...]

Indeed it does.

NBA: Teams can reach verbal agreements with free agents starting Tuesday, but can’t sign players until July 7. A look at the top free agents, by position:

Fernando Torres finally decided to stop pissing away chances on Sunday and torched crap-ass back Philipp Lahm (sorry Sebastian, he’s just terrible in the back), chipping the ball just over Jens Lehman to give Spain a 1-0 victory over the Germans.
I’ll be offering more thoughts on the whole Euro Cup during the early part of [...]

Alright fantasy leaguers, it’s time to start paying attention to this stuff (we think about it all year around anyway). It looks like Cadillac Williams is going to start year on the PUP list. This means that he is out the first six weeks and eligible to come back for Week 7.
So, does [...]

Just hours after PFT reported that the Steelers were trying to shop Najeh Davenport, they apparently couldn’t find any takers and plan to cut him.
You’ll remember Najeh as the guy who snuck into a female student’s dorm room and crapped in her closet.
Fantasy football leaguers take note of this guy getting cut, this [...]

Several sources have told Yahoo! Sports that Raiders owner Al Davis is having second thoughts about all the money he spent this offseason on guys like Javon Walker, Tommy Kelly, DeAngelo Hall and Gibril Wilson. So, maybe he isn’t senile after all.
The contracts he gave to some of these guys are just stupid, so [...]

Hop on board the OJ Mayo-OTR bandwagon.

Wow, thanks to Chad for tipping us off on this one. Brandon Inge hurt himself with a pillow?
“It was the stupidest, most freakish thing,” Inge said Wednesday, explaining why he had just been placed on the 15-day DL with the pulled side muscle (oblique) he suffered 3 1/2 weeks ago.”I have a 3-year-old son [...]

Former Kansas Jayhawk Darrell Arthur was drafted last night by the New Orleans Hornets with the 27th pick in the NBA draft. Then he was traded to the Portland Trailblazers. Then he was traded to the Houston Rockets. Then he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies where he will join OJ Mayo.
Darrell [...]

Remember when I said this, “Kevin McHale is one of the worst GMs in this league. Common sense is to take OJ Mayo with the third pick, but McHale does not have common sense. This is the GM that cost his team $3.5 million and five draft picks by trying to sign Joe Smith to [...]

Here are Pete Prisco’s Top 50 players in the NFL. Prisco says Tom Brady is #1 and not many would argue.
Here are some eyebrow raisers:
6. Texans DE Mario Williams. He’s definitely good…but the sixth-best player in the whole league?
8. Bengals QB Carson Palmer. He’s a really nice QB, but I [...]

I have no clue what happened, but everything was deleted?

Pete Prisco of CBSSportsline.com throws out his annual over-rated/under-rated list for the NFL and Reggie Bush wins as the most over-rated player in the league.
Prisco writes: “Bush, who has 1,146 rushing yards in two seasons, gets the nod this year as my most overrated NFL player. In 28 NFL games, Bush has one [...]

According to the True Blue blog on the Bergen Record’s website, “a source that has been accurate much of the time says the Giants have given up efforts to try to trade the tight end, and that Shockey will stay put.” What a great way to present your source.
This goes against everything that has [...]

ESPN says NBA sources have told them that the Nets plan to trade Richard “roll the dice as to whether or not I’ll play well tonight” Jefferson to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons. The sources say the deal has already been agreed upon and submitted to the league [...]

To make tonight interesting, grab a bottle of whiskey and a six pack. We’re gonna play a little drinking game tonight. Everytime Bilas, Jackson, Van Gundy, and that other guy say certain buzz words, you’re gonna have to drink. Here are the buzz words & what you need to do:
“Tremendous upside” = [...]

Former Philadelphia Phillie and current Houston Astro GM was choke slammed by one of his pitchers, Shawn Chacon.
Chacon informed the Houston Chronical on what happened:
“‘What do you want to speak to me about?’” Chacon said. “He said, ‘we just want to talk to you.’ I said, ‘anything you can say you can say to me [...]

Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports is reporting “the Indiana Pacers have agreed in principle to send six-time All-Star Jermaine O’Neal to the Toronto Raptors for point guard T.J. Ford and the 17th pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, a league executive said Wednesday.”
Toronto also will send Rasho Nesterovic and another role player to match up with [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers have extended qualifying offers to Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams in hopes to keep their core together.
“Since both players are restricted free agents, the Sixers had to tender both Iguodala and Williams a contract by June 30. They are allowed to sign with any team, but are subject to a [...]

Germany found a way to beat the Turks at their own game when Phillip Lahm scored in the 90th minute to give them the 3-2 win. Even for these Turks, there wasn’t enough time to come back.

Chris Henry used to play football in the NFL, but Cincinnati cut his sorry ass. He used to own a house, but the bank took that back. He used to own an SUV, but the repo police took that back as well. All that’s left is just a turd.
All you can do [...]

This guy has “dick” written all over him. According to the Denver Post, Broncos WR Brandon Marshall was arrested on March 6th for domestic battery.
Marshall’s girlfriend, Rasheedah Watley, filed a criminal complaint on March 5th claiming that Marshall hit her leaving “visible marks above the eye and a laceration on her top and bottom [...]
