Anti-Meth Ads, Sports Style


So you know those terrifying Montana anti-meth ads that were recently taken off the air?. Well, in an inspired bit of dark whimsy, The Great Barstoolio had put together a sports compendium of the ads. More »

Moons Over My Prom-Y

For those reading who are teachers, it is that time of the year to volunteer your chaperoning services to one or more of your school's proms. There, your job is to make sure no one's hands fall below the belt line for illegal slow-dance fondling or, you know, make sure no students are having babies in the bathroom and depositing the slimey remains in the toilet.

The Japanese Don't Believe In Tommy John Surgery

The durability of major league pitchers is a fun debate to have with old baseball guys who long for the days before middle relievers and letting starters accumulate pitch counts until their tendons snapped in half. Those purists would most likely agree with the coach of Kawamato's technical high school, (that's the name of it in the AP story) who let his pitcher go 250 pitches deep and endure a 66-0 drubbing over two innings until he finally asked for mercy: More »

Stephen Colbert Unveils Latest In Philadelphia Sporting Attire


Stephen Colbert is in Philadelphia this week to film his PA primary-centric version of "The Colbert Report" and is ingratiating himself with the local animals quite nicely. Last night, he showed off this multi-teamed jersey that would surely be a big hit with some of the more ardent and more fashionably inclined Zubaz'd faithful. More »

mr. belding figured out this thing called life

Seriously, This Is Getting Ridiculous


The photos of Roy Williams signing the belly of a Hooters girl provide a cute, funny moment for Kansas fans and other Williams detractors who may think a man of such coaching stature should not be hanging around with the jiggly-boobed wing-servers. But perhaps even more fascinating than that was the accompanying photo from the Hooter girl's web shots album, which once again shows the omnipresent Mr. Belding popping up in the middle of everything.

Politician On A Mission To Rid Toledo Of Any And All Peckers

So, big sports news here in Toledo. After the minor league hockey team went on hiatus, they're returning soon, along with an arena football team, in a brand new sports arena. And here's where you start caring, because the new football team might be called the Toledo Peckerheads. More »

Woman Knocks Out Husband With Potato; Dodgers Sign Her For $25 Million Over Two Years

If you're Irish like me, this is pretty much an everyday occurrence. But for others it may be rare: During a drunken Thanksgiving argument, a wife grabbed a potato and fired it at her husband, nailing him right in the snout and knocking him to Dream Town. (As Emeril would say: "Bam!"). Aside from the hilarious image this brings to mind, I also have to believe that it didn't take Scott Boras any more than 10 minutes to hear about the "perfect game" and attempt to track her down.

That'll Be 392,489,421 Yards For Unsportsmanlike Conduct


While musing on Bart Scott's multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties at the end of Monday's Patriots-Ravens game, The Angry T attempts to assign penalty yards to various moments in sports history. Our favorite is still this legendary clip from The Last Boy Scout. We're thinking Roger Goodell might have a little bit to say about this play.

The Fish That Could Be An Offensive Lineman

We consider fishing a sport, though we're not sure why; we're generally pleased to classify pretty much anything a sport, because everything's better when it's competitive. So, therefore, a terrifyingly huge freaking fish. More »

The Houston Texans Are Full Of Political Intrigue


Amazingly, there's all kinds of political strife in the former Soviet land of Georgia. We know. Protests and corruption in Russia; now we've seen everything. Apparently the major opposition party is led by Matt Schaub. They're totally regretting passing on Reggie Bush as the leader of the opposition revolution.

Hey Kids, It's The Giant Colon!


Seriously, the kids could spend all day playing in the giant colon. And they would, if the state capitol building didn't close at 4. Actually, the display is called "Super Colon and Friends," and is on display in Carson City, Nev., to raise colon cancer awareness. But I just call it fun! (Yes, I have actually been in there).

And even though he had several of his fraternity brothers rooting him on in the front row during the game show Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? last night, he still seemed a bit confused. Below are a list of the questions that he got wrong: More »
