Help pick my lame fantasy name

With a 2-year-old taking up most of my time on the weekends, and another one on the way, I’m seriously considering retiring from fantasy football this year.
Then again, I could just pull a Brett “Flip-Flop” Favre and find myself starring in one of the three fantasy drafts my friends are talking me into this weekend.
But, [...]

MY HERO

Well, the dog days of summer are here, and there hasn’t been a whole lot that’s inspired me to post of late.
So on Saturday, I decided to bail on the A-town second-hand smoke – courtesy the Santa Barbara/Cruz wildfires – and hit the beach with my new GoPro Hero waterproof digital camera.
As our dozen dedicated [...]

WCBias.com’s Second Annual All-Steroid Team

In honor of the latest members of the MLB’s PEDebacle, roid-ragin’ WCBias.com presents its new and “better enhanced” All-Steroid Team.
(Don’t forget to compare this list to last year’s first-ballot Hall of Shame class.)
The second edition consists of the who’s who of players linked to performance-enhancing drugs, according to a rash of media reports, the latest [...]

Big Papi? Big freaking deal*

Shocking news out of the East Coast: Big Papi is a Big Cheat!
Who would have thought big ol’ David Ortiz tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003 – just in time to lead the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series in a trillion years?

Dirty Sanchez

“Absolutely filthy.”
That’s how ESPN’s Baseball Tonight crew described Jonathan Sanchez’s no-hitter tonight.
And while we don’t write about the San Francisco Giants that often on The Bias, we had to give a tip of the hat to Sanchez, a kid who was 2-8 coming in to this start and wouldn’t even be on the bump if [...]

And today’s favorite to win the NBA title is …

The Fourth of July might be gone, but the fireworks remain in the NBA.
Yeah, that’s such a lame AP-style lead. I would’ve gone with something like, “You can’t spell Fourth of July Weekend without W-T-F,” but that would upset the wifey when this blog post gets RSS’d into her Facebook page. Oops. Hopefully that didn’t [...]

It’s All Good in Mannywood

The other day Pembertonian was giving me crap, calling me a “homer” because I was talking about how much I love my job while he wallows in the self-pity that comes with working in the newspaper biz.
It was the first time in a long time someone could actually call me a homer, because if you’ve [...]

The Ordeal of Manny’s Many Faces

So Manny Ramirez is set to return Friday after his suspension for using female fertility drugs – they don’t allow that kind of stuff in California any more.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind or reception he gets around the Majors, from opposing players, fans, media, etc. But that’s not what I’m most interested [...]

LAKERS BABY

Now that the dust, champagne, confetti and rioting has settled, let’s look back at some thoughts from a weekend in Vegas, my 32nd birthday (I’m feeling really old after this one) and, oh yeah, the Los Angeles Lakers winning the NBA Finals in five games over the Orlando Magic:

I might not love Derrick Fisher as [...]
