Obligatory Sports Babe The world champion Boston Celtics-- which, after following the NBA for the last 15 years, still seems really odd to say-- raised the banner for their 17th championship last night, and then proceeded to beat LeBron James and the Cavaliers 90-85, kicking off the NBA season. So... Rays Fans: Blame The Groundskeepers Interesting take from Rays Index on who Phillies fans should be whining about the most after Monday night's debacle in Philadelphia. They suggesting that the mirror...

Never ones to shy away from their reputation as complete dickheads, during game four of the World Series, Phillies fans poured beer on a nine-year-old boy, and forced a Rays family member to lock himself in a bathroom stall, "because, he said, Phillies fans were banging on the walls and threatening him." And there's even more-- according to the St. Petersburg Times . "From talking to the Rays on Sunday," John Romano wrote, "the Phillies fans trampled all over every acceptable...

Obligatory Sports Babe I honestly don't care whether or not the rumours of her relationship with Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco are true-- Rudy Huxtable is hot! World Series Umpire Shenanigans Over?

Remember yesterday when we brought you this picture of a Tampa Bay Rays tailgate party? I don't. But I'm told it was hilarious. Well, now we have some video from the party as well-- and it's even wilder than you'd expect from this batshit crazy bunch. Check it out below...
