Tony Kornheiser is Famous, Crabby About Crabs

The Big Lead (Free subscription) | 07/15/2008

No need to try and get cute with this item that, if true, has to go down as one of his finest quotes ever: (via the Wilmington Journal via Deadspin): While at the restaurant, Kornheiser didn’t make too many friends, a source told me. After announcing that he was “too famous to be here,” a staffer [...]

Quoth The Kornheiser : Who Is Leon Powe?

Can't Stop the Bleeding (Free subscription) | 06/09/2008

Of Leon Powe’s 21 points-in-14-minutes against the Lakers Sunday night, ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser exclaimed, “who heard of him, other than Edgar Allan Poe?” If indeed, Kornheiser was saving that line all day, he might be interested to know that Powe scored 20 or more points in a game four times during the regular season, and the [...]

The Washington City Paper pulls a Fuego (as compared to, say, a Frio ...) with this .pdf of Post salaries (no names, sorry...). And then, Erik " I Would Only Bounce At, Say, The Black Cat " Wemple wonders whether Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser are pulling in $230,000 at the paper.

Kornhesier Crabgate, The Next Day: Shocking New Details Emerge [Media Meltdowns]

Deadspin (Free subscription) | 07/16/2008

Following up on your post yesterday, I spoke with someone who was in the Big Fish Grill when Kornheiser was there. It turns out, the real story is a little different than the Pulp Culture blog had it. According to my source, Kornheiser and his wife went to the restaurant and when he saw that the only available table was at the front of the establishment, right in the view of everyone,...

Softball Team Names

... the Southside Honey Badgers. Some names give a nod to pop culture or news references: Tony Kornheiser's Kids, the Fershizzles, the HGH (human growth hormone) All Stars. When I still had a shred of beer league talent, I played for the Lab Rats (physiology grad students and lab assistants), the Kamikaze Kowreckers (both co-rec teams, thus the latter's name (and pronunciation of the last word),...

Guess Elton Brand’s Handshake Deal with Baron Davis Meant Nothing: He’s Going to Philly

The Big Lead (Free subscription) | 07/09/2008

Saw this clip on Sportscenter last night and between the slick hair and the authoritative confidence, Ric Bucher sold us on Elton Brand staying a Clipper. And then one of the top power forwards in the NBA accepted a 5-year, $82 million offer from the 76ers. Did the Paper Clips get the shaft? Well if the LA Times is right , and David “Bird of Prey” Falk (fist-bump to Kornheiser) stopped returning...

... and livelier prose than that in, say, the local political columns. At his or her best, a [Tony] Kornheiser or a [Jackie] MacMullan weaved artistry and insights into 750 words. That blend of beauty and concision is a dying art. By contrast, there is ESPN.com's popular Bill Simmons, who is knowledgeable and funny, but reading his sprawling pieces can consume an entire lunch hour. The Internet's...

The Nats' Version of 9-20

D.C. Sports Bog (Free subscription) | 06/25/2008

Glory days of badness: Rex Chapman, P.J. Brown. (1995 AP Photo) This is about the Nats. Promise. But first, during one glorious stretch during the late-80s and early-90s, the Bullets/Wizards began their season 9-20 four times in seven years. Like the proto-blogger that he was, Tony Kornheiser then dumped several gallons of "9-20" into his gooey bag of jokes and broke it out, year after year...
