The Terry Bradshaw Bulimia Plan
If you haven't noticed from those gripping ads clearly aimed at sports fans, the new Matthew McConaughey-Sarah Jessica Parker "romantic" "comedy" Failure To Launch co-stars Fox Sports' own Terry Bradshaw, playing (we think) the father of one of the two main characters. Yep, Bradshaw's actually playing someone other than himself; we're clearly sprinting to the theaters. More »

Jose Canseco Is Scaring The Children

Jose Canseco, Master Thespian
We suppose this career transition makes sense. Baseball's most inexplicable Paul Revere Jose Canseco, after meeting with Oliver Stone, has now decided he's going to be an action star. The LA Times details his almost directly vertical climb, including his strange decision to hire a complete moron as his agent, or manager, or whatever the hell they call them out there. More »

A Quiet Crowd
That's not a picture of the newest publicity attempt by the Arizona Cardinals to make their games look better on television. It's actually a photo from the set of the new Mark Wahlberg movie Invincible, about a bartender named Vince Papale who wins a spot on the Philadelphia Eagles. (He caught one pass for his career.) Those immobile dummies in those stands are not meant to represent remaining Eagles receivers. More »

What? Sports Aren't Funny
According to Daily Variety, which we don't have a subscription for, so we're gonna just link to someone else who heard about this, Comedy Central has just filmed a pilot for a sports program based on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart." The show would be an half-hour weekly program, and the channel — well, not actually the channel; some people who speak for the channel — says they plan on spending more energy and time on sports.

Scrappy Podsednik Upgrading In Lady Department
We've always liked Chicago White Sox outfielder Scott Podsednik. He's small, he's scrappy, he plays hard, he steals bases, he likes to get his uniform dirty in the way that fans always like white players to get their uniform dirty. But we always liked his understatedness the most: Nothing flashy, just straight ahead hard work, or some such nonsense, we're kind of just quoting the press release here. More »

Kutcher, Iverson and T.O All Punk Each Other And Smile
Remember the story of Ashton Kutcher punking Alex Rodriguez? Essentially, Kutcher and his "Punk'd" buddies pulled a prank on A-Rod where they had a Red Sox fan get all belligerant with him. Supposedly — Rodriguez refused to sign the waiver for the footage to be shown — A-Rod freaked out and became a whining, crying, angry baby. Somewhere, Kutcher has this footage in his basement, and he shows it when Bruce Willis comes by to see the kids, or P-Diddy comes by for coffee and Scrabble. More »

Nick Lachey's Typist Really Mad
Honestly, the city of Cincinnati just drives us crazy. On one hand, they arrest people for trying to show art. On the other, JerrySpringer was their mayor. Creationism museum? Put it in Cincy! Need a sportswriter? Grab Nick Lachey! More »

Bo Bice: The New Reggie Miller
Those looking for next "clutch" player to replace Reggie "Never Won A Title But Am Somehow Considered The Best Crunch Time Guy Ever" Miller should turn their eyes away from the court and toward lousy FOX reality television, says Flak's Bob Cook in his weekly "Bring Out The Sports!" column. (We remember back when it was called "Kick Out The Sports (Motherfucker!)" We liked that title more.) Writes Cook: More »

"We Went To The Super Bowl. Uh, Flip Card. Daunte Speaks Next."
We know you're watching the George Lopez Show anyway, so we shouldn't need to tell you this, but if you're in the mood for pained line readings and rapidly declining hairlines, Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper are guest starring on the season (though, sadly, not series) finale of La Demostraci n De George Lopez. The plot involves Lopez's daughter's boyfriend being recruited by Central Florida and Syracuse, and the QBs show up to ... you know ... we don't have the heart to finish this. If you really can't miss this, you're probably on the wrong site. We hear Nick Bakay has some new content today. More »
