    Tuesday Night Live Blog: Western Michigan at #15 Ball State

    Please accept the harmonious balance of David Letterman and Tim Allen's alma maters, respectively, to infiltrate your Tuesday night plans. The undefeated Ball State Cardinals welcome the 9-2 WMU Broncos, and the winner is in the MAC Championship game. Fun fact: It's not illegal to shout "jump" in a crowded live blog. More »

    Wednesday Night Live Blog: #17 Ball State at Central Michigan

    Ahhh. Mid-American Conference football. You were born a fan, it's just that nobody told you until tonight. The undefeated Ball State Cardinals flutter into Mount Pleasant to tangle with some fired up Chips. Winner probably wins the MAC West Division, a fact which you already knew. Also something you knew: if you build it, they will jump. More »

    Tuesday Night Live Blog: Kentucky Wildcats vs. #1 UNC Tar Heels

    The 24 hours of maddening college basketball is almost at an end, so let's Rosie Ruiz our way to the finish line and reap the celebratory final paces. Tradition University squares off against Heritage State in a game that Tyler Hansbrough is too proud (and hurt) to be a part of, but that doesn't mean ESPN doesn't want you to watch. Dan Shulman, Dick Vitale and Erin Andrews can be seen at 9 p.m. in their entirety in cynical sound bytes once you jump to the limit. More »

    Monday Night Live Blog: Browns-Bills

    Never before have so many Midwestern teams that aren't actually located in the Midwest been in one stadium at once! The disappointing Cleveland Browns and differently-but-equally disappointing Buffalo Bills will battle to the frigid death to see who's less disappointing team of all. It's going to be Korny in the booth, so please jump for the children at 8:30 p.m. More »

    Sunday Night Is Live Blog Night: Cowboys-Redskins

    Hey, Tony Romo is back from his injury! Jerry Jones guaranteed playoffs! And I'm sure there's a compelling story line on the Washington Redskins sideline! But there's no non-jump way to find out. True story.

    * * * * *

    Pre-Game Babble

    Which over-dramatized headline is worse for America:

    "What's Wrong With The Dallas Cowboys?"
    "So We're All In Agreement, The Cowboys Are Super Bowl Champions, Right?"
    "Tony Romo: Is He Having Good Intercourse On His Bye Week?"
    "Is Current Cowboys Head Coach Going To Be Fired?"

    Trick question. It doesn't really matter how strong or sucky the Cowboys team is, the team with the star is going to be the dominant story on varions weeks when they don't deserve it. Fortunately Brett Favre's post-retirement retirement party seems to be taking the minds off the non-1980s soap opera known as Dallas. (Yes, fortunately.) The Titans could go to 13-0 and most news outlets would still be analyzing Terrell Owens' stool in a lab to detect any illnesses and whether or not it will affect team chemistry.

    Also, Redskins. They're 6-3, one game better than Dallas. Bohh-ring.

    Not boring? Environmentally-friendly corporate redesigns. It appears that NBC is promoting Green Week by making their signature peacock logo green as well as every other NBC-affiliated logo. See, here it is:

    Damn. I wonder how much extra time graphic designers' computers stayed on to make those logos. Whatever the cost, it's inspired me to help pitch in and save the world from the ice caps melting and turning into water-based leviathans who destroy our coastal towns with smog-shaped pitchforks and styrofoam packing peanuts. So in honor of Green Week, I will hereby recycle old jokes from previous live blogs.

    Saturday Night Live Blog: #9 Oklahoma State at #2 Texas Tech

    The Big XII has thirteen teams in the Top 10, and this is just another night in which two of them square off on a Saturday night. The undefeated Red Raiders get their second straight prime-time big game against the once-defeated Cowboys. Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit brand cows with their initials. What the world needs now, is jump, sweet jump. More »

    World Series Game Five Live Blog 33-1/3: The Final Insult

    Last time on "World Series Test Cricket," our Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays were tied 2-2 in the middle of the 6th inning. Please slip on the underwear you adorned on Tuesday (or, if you want to be accurate, Monday) and jump like it's October 27th. More »

    World Series Game Five Live Blog: Rays at Phillies

    Well then. If Philadelphia gets a win from Cole "Lynchpin Of Hope" Hamels tonight, they win the World Series. If Scott "Zambrano" Kazmir can act as the stopper, then the Rays move the Series back to Catwalkdome and continue to fight from the corner they've put themselves in. If Tennessee wins, you've got on the wrong game. Onward, 101st Jumpin' Infantry! More »

    World Series Game Four Live Blog: Rays at Phillies

    We've reached Game 4, which is traditionally known as either "The Desperation Start" or "Who the @&$^ Are You and Why Have We Pinned All Our Dreams to You?" Welcome to Andy Sonnanstine vs. Joe Blanton, your fourth starters. Andy's a soft tosser that doesn't walk a lot of fellows; Joe's a Billy Beane baby whose greatest asset is being able to make 33-35 starts a year and not making anyone feel too badly about that. And now you know. More »

    World Series Game Three Live Blog: Rays at Phillies

    According to our friend here and our friends Joely Fisher and Jeanne Zelasko there, we will have actual baseball tonight. As seen as TV! Needless to say, we didn't see this coming. We still don't know if this is a real nine-inning affair or if it's enough to merely get it legal. We're up for a late night, though. We don't know about Old Man Moyer or if Matt Garza's mom will make him come in for dinner. More »
