Say what you will about the kids at Bristol, but they continue to move the needle on all matters Maurice Clarett, at least.

Judge Makes The Bold Move Of Questioning Maurice Clarett's Mental Health

The latest news in the Maurice Clarett situation isn't that he's being required to undergo a mental health evaluation. The news is that he doesn't think he needs one. When the judge ordered the evaluation, Clarett scoffed at him. He was later quoted as saying, "I clearly understand everything, and I don't know why we have to drag this thing out." More »

Fictional League Somehow More Fictional Now

Now that the whole Maurice Clarett business has veered into Greek tragedy story with Tom Friend's breathtaking ESPN story, we turn our focus to the part of his story it's easy to make fun of: His "upcoming" stint with the Mahoning Valley Hitmen of the Eastern Indoor Football League, a league that has as much chance of playing actual games next year as our fantasy league does.

Maurice Clarett's Imaginary League

So we've been mulling over this Maurice Clarett playing indoor football story, and we're really kind of amazed.

Poll: Whom Do You Least Want To Run Into At McDonald's?

We still haven't quite come to terms with the bat-shit crazy weirdness of Marcus "New Mexico" Vick whipping out a gun at McDonald's the day after he declared for the NFL Draft, but it did get us to thinking: We haven't been to McDonald's for a long, long time. At first, we thought it was because we're older now and have more refined taste in cuisine (like, say, Wendy's). But we realize now that's not it; we're actually scared. You never know whose path you'll cross at a McDonald's. More »
