He hasn’t lost a match at the US Open since the fourth round in 2003.
Two. Thousand. Three.
The thing is, Del Potro isn’t the Future of Tennis, or at least he wasn’t until this week.  He’s unranked, which to us points out some serious flaws in the ranking system.  He’s not Tsonga, who has been around [...]

We admit it: we’ve never done the fantasy football thing before, so this week was our first try at the intricacies of ranking draft choices because you’re going to be at work when the draft happens, as well as at smack talking 140 characters at a time, etc.  But it turns out we did pretty [...]

You may have noticed that UPH is having some serious technical difficulties, but we just want you to know that we’ll be back by the middle of the week.
Spambots, by the way, suck. Especially when they hack your page’s stylesheet.

Len Berman of Huffington Post and ESPN are reporting that everyone’s favorite serial retiree may actually be semi-retired. Kind of.
Specifically, Favre has now been quoted as saying he may well “not be up for” all sixteen games this season.
Interestingly, the article under the headline on ESPN is a Favre lovefest (typical) about [...]

Many have addressed it already.  The man himself has addressed it…and re-addressed it…and re-re-addressed it…and, well, you get the point.  Now it’s our turn.
Senator Curt Schilling.  Yes, you read that right.  Gov. “The Body” Ventura…”The Governator” Schwarzenegger…and now the potential for a Sen. Schill?
Well, as Theo put it best in his text message to The [...]

Shawne Merriman is awesome because he’s one of our fave Twitterers, like, ever–as you may notice, since he shows up practically weekly in our Twitter Faves.  Also, we hear he plays football.
And, possibly, he beats up his girlfriend? The girlfriend, by the way is Tila Tequila.  We have no evidence that she’s a pink hat, [...]

There was no internet at work today, dear readers–yep, the Sports Chick has like, this whole other job!
So, here’s an abbreviated Tuesday Twitter Faves…at least it isn’t on Wednesday this week, ok?!?
Think how the season ticket holders feel, Kei Kamara…
game was fun but not sure i will be goin to another sorry Astros
Aww, [...]

Every week, UPH will look at one confusing thing in sports, and figure it out.  It will then become Stuff We Didn’t Used to Get.  If you’ve got something you want us to investigate, drop us a line.
Dear readers, we just didn’t get it.  Sure, he could play football, but you know how big we [...]

Some players are built for Boston.  We’re talking people like Orlando Cabrera, who come to town and suddenly, improbably, thrive when playing in the town of the dirty water.  Players for whom the intensive media scrutiny is a thrill or a motivation or both.  Players who like to go big when everyone else thought they [...]

Every Tuesday–except this week, clearly–, we’ll run down our favorite things that have appeared on our Twitter feed recently.  All quotes are direct and attributed.  Follow us, and you could see yourself up here! We’re findable @unpinkhats
Tanith Belbin’s Metabolism Must Be Better Than Ours:
Is there really such a thing as too much white chocolate?
Shelden Williams [...]

New allegations have surfaced regarding perennial “clubhouse leader” Miguel Tejada, currently with the Astros after a long tenure with the Orioles.  You may remember Tejada as the guy who lied about his age, or perhaps as the guy with the steroid-contaminated B-12 shots (some of which Rafael Palmeiro claims were handed off to him), or [...]

UPH managed tickets to last night’s Monday Night Football game before Brett Favre signed and made every Packers fan we know in the city of Houston sell their soul for tickets (while hating themselves for doing so, naturally.)
The turnout was pretty good, but it didn’t matter one way or another, broadcast-wise, because the closed roof [...]
