For a long time, the only common thread between baseball star Yoenis Cespedes and comedian Jerry Seinfeld is that they were two people who have never been in my kitchen. But ever since Cespedes was traded to Seinfeld’s favorite team, the New York Mets, the two have been linked together by love of baseball. And […]

Ah yes, the spoils of being a Hall of Famer in a major professional sport. The plaque. The bust. The adulation. The speech. And free meals at a chain restaurant, apparently. Yea… It’s HOF Weekend in Cantom pic.twitter.com/YkVNQ4AbZT — trey wingo (@wingoz)

Argentine Football League goalie Juan Carlos Olave was harassed by opposing fans as his Belgrano team faced Racing on Sunday night. One Racing fan even threw a cheeseburger at him. Olave, doing what any hungry goaltender would do, well … see for yourself: That’s right. He pulled a Curtis Lazar and took a big ol’ […]

David Price has had a difficult week. He was traded from the Tigers to the Toronto Blue Jays, and it’s always an interesting transition making your way in not only a new city, but a new country. Price asked his new employer for something to make his transition easier … All I’m asking for from

NFL training camps are upon us, and one of the things that is always interesting is to see how old coaches fit in with new teams. John Fox is taking over the Chicago Bears this season, and he’s been highly successful in stints with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. As he was giving insight into […]

Dodgers stud rookie Joc Pederson hit a home run in the sixth inning of the Dodgers’ battle with the New York Mets. It must have taken a lot out of him, because he fueled up afterwards with a special treat: A helmet cup full of ice cream: Your browser does not support iframes. That’s Keith […]

File this under things I didn’t see coming: Heat guard Dwyane Wade has been touring China to debut his very own wine label. Called simply: “Wade”, the label has been a big hit in the country that adores all things basketball. They love the NBA so much that Wade can develop a line of artisinal slightly […]

The Fresno Grizzlies have been written about a lot on this site. First, it was their Schwab burger. Then it was their pizza with the hot dog embedded in the crust (well before Pizza Hut got on that train.) Now, they’re taking their association with food to a whole new level as for one night […]

Celtics rookie Terry Rozier appeared on NBA TV’s “The Starters” during the NBA Summer League schedule for a chef’s segment where Rozier cooks one of his favorite sandwiches. This is fun in and of itself no matter what was in the sandwich. But the devil is in the details. And the details of this particular […]

Skyline Chili is the signature dish of the city of Cincinnati. The natives swear by the dish that is as iconic in the Queen City as WKRP in Cincinnati. The city just hosted Major League Baseball’s midsummer classic: the All Star Game. So Skyline was about to enter the culinary spotlight among the best in […]

Nathan’s hot dogs are meant to be savored, not inhaled. So in that respect the Nathan’s Fourth of July hot dog eating contest is an affront to humanity. But ESPN airs it, so it must be a bid deal. Joey Chestnut’s eight straight titles along with his rivalry with Takeru Kobayashi has elevated this event […]

When a baseball game goes long, you can’t help but get yourself a snack. So why not grab some ice cream in the 12th inning? Your browser does not support iframes. The strawberry shortcake ice cream on a stick? Extra points for a classic. And it helped the Rays in the top of the 12th […]

Steven Matz had a debut for the ages on Sunday for the New York Mets. He pitched seven and two thirds innings for the victory, and became the first pitcher in major league history to knock in four runs at the plate in his major league debut. You would think a debut like that would […]

Rookies in all sports are known to be required to bring food for the veterans. They are not required to bring food to the media. But Bulls rookie Bobby Portis went one step beyond in his introductory press conference by bringing donuts: L-R: Gar Forman, Bobby Portis, Fred Hoiberg, donuts pic.twitter.com/ddhqa6uncb — Sean Highkin (@highkin)
