Being A Fan Can Be Slightly Lucrative, But Not Really
So here's a novel concept, sent to us from the fine folks at WBRS Sports Blog: A new site has launched offering fans $5 to cheer for a certain NFL or NHL team. The site is called HireAFan.com and inspired by a guy who sold his loyalty to Sebria & Montenegro on eBay during the World Cup. More »

Arrrrgh. Angry Pirates. Fans.
Some pissed-off Pirate Fans are mad as hell, and... well, they probably don't have any choice but to continue taking it. They can start a website and a club, though, to band together and express their anger with Pirates management. It's at IrateFans.com, which is PirateFans.com, without the P. Get it? Clever. More »

Exactly What The Hell Is Wrong With You
If you've ever asked yourself why you're a sports fan, and have been unable to come up with any kind of a satisfactory answer, the Associaion for Psychological Science is here to help. And I'll admit it... I have no good explanation for why I let Ryan Leaf ruin so many of my Sundays. It just seemed like a good idea at the time to get emotionally invested in Ryan Leaf. More »

The Mascot Fearsomeness Index
Alkaline Earth has ranked America's cities in terms of the combined ferocity of their professional sports team mascots. Your winner, quite appropriately, is Oakland, as I believe Raider fans are also the most likely group of fans to kill you and then barbeque your remains over an open spit at next week's tailgate.

Congratulations, Philadelphia sports fans... you are officially off the hook. I think this one even tops booing players as they're wheeled out on stretchers. More »

From the front page of Friday's Purdue Exponent, this photo shows Purdue fans getting "rowdy" as they bat around a huge inflatable penis during their loss to Notre Dame a week and a half ago. Or, as the caption to the paper's photo puts it, an "oversized phallic object." More »

Michigan Courts Make Society Safe Again
We know it's amazing that sports have been able to continue in the 10 months since the Pistons-Pacers brawl at The Palace in Detroit, but somehow, someway, athletic endeavors have been able to stagger on. In another example of the brutal ramifications of the actions of everyone involved, the three Pacers in the brawl — Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal — pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges this morning. For their crimes against humanity, they are expected to be forced into what the feds are calling "community service" and "probation." They will likely have to pick up trash that isn't even theirs.

Giants Fans Remain Most Erudite In Sport
We once went to a St. Louis Cardinals-New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium with a smattering of fellow Cardinals fans. There was a rain delay, and our group — all dressed in loud red, of course — watched the Bleacher Creatures amuse themselves, treating the benches like Slip-n-Slide's and participating in much genial tomfoolery. Then the Yankee fans looked up and saw this group of Cardinals fans looking at them; in unison, as if they had planned for this, started yelling, "DARRYL! KILE! DARRYL! KILE!" We Midwesterners were almost too shocked to be offended. More »
