In case you haven’t noticed, we’re back. With the semester wrapped up, we’re happy to say that we have some time to write for Sportable again. Thanks for bearing with us during our downtime.

With This Bag of Popcorn, I Thee Humiliate [Zong]: Talk about one of your all-time backfires. An aspiring groom, using Minute Maid Park’s Kiss Cam, proposed to his love at a recent Astros-Nationals game. Her response was…unexpected. She dumped a box of popcorn on his head and ran out of the stadium looking pissed off.

NBC is Bringing Back American Gladiators! [Gizmodo]: Much to Kevin’s delight, it’s been announced that NBC will begin airing new episodes of American Gladiators, the show that many people simply grew up on. It should be a fun experiment to watch unfold. Will the roided gladiators still be worshiped like they were in the 1990s?

What Does Jerome Bettis Have in Common with James Frey [Incendiary Lit]: I didn’t know “The Bus” had it in him. Bettis’ soon to be released book includes a story about him faking an injury back in 2000. By doing this, he ensured he wouldn’t be cut. While a slight exaggeration of what actually happened, it’s still an interesting story.

10 Technologies to Improve Your Fantasy Football Experience [MoSneaky]: With our draft right around the corner, I’ve been looking for ways to make it badass. Several things on this list will definitely help that. You know Fantasy Football has taken off when software is being created, simply for live drafts.

Top 30 Nicknames in Major League Baseball [RivalFish]: A nice look at some nicknames around the Bigs. Did you know Boof Bonser’s real name is…Boof Bonser? I always thought that was a nickname. Calling Antonio Alfonseca “The Octopus” is pure gold.

2007 Sports Blogger Study [Ballhype]: Last week, 135 different sports bloggers were surveyed about their life, ranging from level of education to living situation. It appears the stereotype of “blogging in basements” has been proved wrong. Most bloggers are actually relatively successful people…except us. We still live in basements.

Trade Deadline Aftermath [Beyond the Box Score]: After another tease of a trade deadline left guys like Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn with their old clubs, it’s not as fun to assess what teams won and lost. But you’d have to say the Braves improved their team the most, wouldn’t you?

Mike Williams is Doing his Best Shawn Kemp Impression [AngryT]: Once considered one of the finest receiver prospects in years, Williams is continuing his mission of eating himself out of the NFL. The Raiders want him at 235 pounds, which is even more lenient than his requirements with the Lions. Problem is, he’s still not meeting it.

What If…Barry Bonds and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays [Sporting Orange]: As Barry Bonds sits one homer away from tying Hank Aaron, let’s imagine he was playing at Tropicana Field. That was nearly a reality, as the Giants nearly relocated to the Sunshine State back in 1992. It’s likely Bonds would have fled Tampa if the Giants relocated but it’s a fun hypothetical.

Pujols Hangs Out at Chuck E. Cheese [Gaslamp Ball]: One of the best SB Nation blogs around got the scoop on Albert Pujols making a stop at a St. Louis Chuck E. Cheese, even parking his Bentley in the parking lot. Reports say he was 100% focused on his game of Super Shot and left without signing autographs.

St. Louis Rams Prekakke [Kissing Suzy Kolber]: KSK continues their NFL Season Preview (ours begins tomorrow!) with an exclusive interview with quarterback Marc Bulger. The interview is a bit one-sided but it’s entertaining. I didn’t even know Mike Rumph was still employed by an NFL team.

How To Have a Female in Your Fantasy Football League [Epic Carnival]: While our league continues to be a sausage fest, other fantasy leagues are including women. Epic Carnival’s very own female writer gives you some tips on how to properly include a girl in your league.

Go To Jail Team [Smoking Gun]: While not a sports site per se’, TSG has posted a real nice feature related to sports. It’s 18 different criminal mugshots, all sporting different jerseys. Ed McCaffrey is in there, as is Bill Romanowski. Those two appear to be the classiest of the bunch. Who wears a Romanowski jersey besides white trash?

Culture Change at Miami [Just Call Me Juice]: The post Larry Coker era in Miami promises to be a fun one. New coach Randy Shannon is hoping to overhaul the program and turn them back into an annual powerhouse. The first step? Removing player names from the jerseys. For a team with 17 starters, an overhaul may be the right thing to get this team back to the top.

The NBA’s Gambling Gaffe [Empty Bench]: A lengthy, but well thought out discussion of the NBA’s newest scandal. Will we be able to watch an NBA game the same in 2007? It’s doubtful. Any questionable call is automatically going to bring the over/under into play, as well as any parlays the ref may have going.

The KSK Guide to Naming Your Fantasy Team [Kissing Suzy Kolber]: By now, you’re definitely thinking about Fantasy Football and your draft strategies. Team names are a very important part of the league so you’ll want to come up with something funny. If you can’t think of something witty, just be honest about your team. My name last year? Shitty Running Backs.
