Not that this latest refusal should bum you out: a show should be canceled before it forces you to watch the Seahawks. But Seattle, when approached by HBO producers, said they're not interested in doing this year's edition of the reality show. Add them to the list of "nos" that includes the Broncos, Falcons, Texans, 49ers and Redskins. The Jets haven't made it official, but don't sound too keen on inviting the circus to town again. More »

Dom Cosentino — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:10:00 EDT

Brandon Lee Price was listed as AWOL from the U.S. Army. He was wanted for being a deserter. He needed money.

A few days later, Price allegedly called the bank and had a debit card in Allen's name sent to his home in Pittsburgh. This is from the AP: More »

Marshawn Lynch's Skittles Sneakers Give Him Superpowers

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:55:00 EST

Before Saturday, no one had rushed for 100 yards against the 49ers defense, and no one had run for a touchdown against the 49ers defense. Before Saturday, nobody had worn Skittles sneakers against the 49ers defense. Correlation is not necessarily causation, but this time it totally was, say scienticians. More »

Raheem Brock To Washington State Cops During DUI Stop: "You Guys Don't Take Care Of Your Athletes Out Here?" [UPDATED]

Dom Cosentino — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:40:00 EST

Maybe there was a reason Seahawks defensive end Raheem Brock felt he was within his rights pull a dine and dash on a $27 tab at a Philly restaurant, his conviction for which we told you about last week.
