    Was Roger Clemens lying today on Capitol Hill?

McNamee claims he gave Clemens banned substances in the form …

    Well, this has nothing to do with FanYard or the Yardstick, but it does have to do with sports, so here it is: Barry Bonds has been indicted by a federal grand jury in San Francisco on four counts of lying to a grand jury (perjury) and one count of obstruction of justice. The perjury charges carry penalties …

The biggest thing, of course, is that we now have NBA and NCAA Basketball live on FanYard!! That is about the only thing that could make …

    With just over four minutes left in the Boston College at Virginia Tech game, I managed to remember it was on, as I had been stuck watching the World Series Game 2. The Eagles were down 10-0 and the Hokeis were on the field, but being held in Boston territory. Instead of going for a long field goal, the Hokies …

    You read it here first! I just thought I’d count my chickens before they hatch. I know, it is only in the 3rd inning now, but 8-1? It’s kinda fun, like tempting fate. Bring it on, Fate. Yup, Boston’s gonna win this game over Cleveland. Speaking of chicks, ALIKAT, over at Hot Chicks Hot Picks, has …

    Colt Brennan threw for almost 550 yards Friday night for Hawaii at San Jose State. The Warriors pulled off a close 7-point overtime win thanks to Brennan throwing for four touchdowns and despite his four thrown picks. Oh, and he ran in a touchdown as well. The final score was 42-35 and the Yardstick was at 14 for …

    This is a story for Babes (Who) Love Baseball: It is true. I am a Yankees fan, and I’ll tell you why this fact does not make me an agent of Satan. (I know you all don’t think this way, but it makes me feel better to say it). I grew up on the Eastern Coast. Not the East Coast that …
