| The Jester’s Quart: The Year in Sports 2004 |
|
There’s no point in offering a review of 2004’s sports stories because the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. They won the damn World Series. That’s bigger than Janet Jackson’s right breast and Nicollette Sheridan’s shapely backside. It’s the most momentous athletic achievement of...

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: It's that time of the year for women |
|
It’s the time of the year when members of the opposite sex become utterly confused while shopping for their counterparts on their Christmas lists.

| Johnson wins the light heavy weight belt – I mean crown from Tarver |
|
It was the fight for the crown rather than the fight for the Light Heavyweight Belt. In a bold move that was probably best for the sport, Antonio Tarver relinquished his Light Heavyweight belt to fight Glen Johnson who entered boxing’s elite fraternity by knocking out Roy Jones Jr., a feat that...

| It's the Motion in the Ocean |
Danny Ocean and Co. had the audacity to burglarize Terry Benedict’s Bellagio in Ocean’s Eleven but while their swift scam was easily executed in the first
flick, it makes sense that their strength of schedule bulks up in the convoluted sequel.
And while droves of fans line up...

| Klitschko DESTROYS Williams - Heavyweight questions. |

Maybe "Iron" Mike Tyson just needs to retire... okay, okay, not maybe, he MUST retire. I'm not sure how he thinks he has any chance after he got clobbered in 4 rounds vs. Danny Williams. Then Danny goes and proves what kind of fighter he really is. Vitali would end Tyson's pathetic excuse for a...

| The Jester's Quart: The Business of Barry Bonds |
|
When Barry Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's lifetime home run record within the next two seasons, he will be booed. Mercilessly. He'll be booed because he's a cheater, because he's a liar, and because he's an egotistical bastard who treats other human beings like tiny scabs left behind by syringe pricks....
