If There Was Ever A Good Reason To Climb Stan Musial...
As you may have heard, the St. Louis Cardinals are your 2006 World Series champions. Um... I'm a little uncomfortable here. It's a bit of a shame that the responsibility of the post-World Series post falls to me, because I really didn't care who won. But it might be a good thing, too, because at ...
NFL Week Seven, Update #4
• Raiders 22, Cardinals 9. Gather the '76 Tampa Bay Bucs for their yearly champagne toast... there are no more winless teams in the NFL. Cardinals QB Matt Leinart fell back to earth this week, and he landed in a pit of ugly. The game's not quite over, but Leinart's currently 12-of-31 for 194 yards...

The Mike Tyson Of College Football
That was Miami Hurricane player Anthony Reddick apologizing for his helmet-swinging role in the brawl against FIU. I'm pretty sure someone wrote that for him... and they must've just scribbled it really quickly and illegibly, because he seemed to be struggling with it. For some reason....
NFL Week Seven, Update #3
• Redskins 14, Colts 13. Not only did the people of Indianapolis have to deal with the fright of seeing Peyton Manning's body's body get bent in the opposite direction that Kenny Chesney usually bends it, but the Colts are losing to the underdog Redskins. Manning's fine, I guess it's not that big of...
LeftoverDome...
• Once upon a time, I mentioned Topless Sports News (not even close to safe for work) in the LeftoverDome. Gelf Magazine follows up. [Gelf Magazine] • Kevin Pittsnogle was Pittsnogled by the Boston Celtics. [WBRS Sports Blog] • Jose Feliciano did a revolutinary version of the national anthem in 1968...
NFL Week Seven, Update #2
• Buccaneers 23, Eagles 21. Tampa Bay kicker Matt Bryant has a leg like Tom Jones's dick. Bryant hit a 62-yarder with no time left on the clock to give the Buccaneers the win, and actually put them on a little bit of a winning streak. Donovan McNabb threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, b...
For Some Guys, Lithuania Is The Promised Land
In the NBA, Tyrone Nesby is probably best known for being the crazy guy on Michael Jordan-led Washington Wizards team that was terrible, dysfunctional, and sad. His career, though, took him on a journey to Lithuania... and one small change of scenery was all Tyrone Nesby, roleplayer, needed to bec...
Live From Game One
Jalopnik's Ray Wert is a man who loves the Tigers and has fragile emotions—particularly when being left out of Gawker media bets. He was at game one of the World Series last night....
NFL Week Seven, Update #1
• Panthers 14, Bengals 7. Three touchdowns in the game, but none of them belong to Steve Smith or Chad Johnson. For Carolina, it's been the electric Nick Goings and the human highlight reel, Kris Mangum. For the Bengals, it's someone named "R. Kelly," and I think hs first name is Reggie, but I'm not...
Week 7 NFL Preview: Fox Finally Gets To Use Their Steve Hutchinson Cam
Vikings @ Seahawks. They've dubbed it the Steve Hutchinson Bowl, which might be the lamest and least-exciting name ever given to a game that isn't actually a bowl game (I believe the Poulan Weedeater Bowl still trumps all). But while the name might be goofy, there appears to be something to it: th...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Purple Is The New Black
(13) Georgia Tech 7, (12) Clemson 31. Clemson was a little early for Halloween, but their Grimace costumes were a hit anyway. Clemson officials claim that no team had ever worn head-to-toe purple in the modern era of college football, but didn't seem to understand that there's was a reason for tha...

So I Guess The Cardinals Are Serious About This
The Cardinals went into Detroit last night and took down Cousin Mose in his own barn, taking game one away from Justin Verlander and the heavily-favored Tigers....
About Last Night...
• World Series: Cardinals 7, Tigers 2. Ronnie Belliard's hair 1, Everyone Else's Hair 0. • College Football: Clemson 31, Georgia Tech 7. Clemson unleases their potent offensive attack on Georgia Tech, as well as a vicious attack on the eyeballs and fashion sense of everyone watching. • NHL. Sabres 6...
World. Freakin'. Series.
I don't know if you heard, but the Cardinals won the National League Championship Series. They'll be the guys heading to Detroit tonight to finally get the Tigers off of their lazy asses to play a little baseball. The 2006 World Series gets underway at 7:30 on Fox, and with any luck, Tim McCarver...
To Watch Tonight...
• MLB World Series. St. Louis Cardinals @ Detroit Tigers, Game 1. I hope the Tigers can borrow the Pistons PA announcer for a few games. 7:30, Fox. • College Football: Georgia Tech @ Clemson.

I Don't Think This Is What Lil' Jon Had In Mind
Illinois, despite holding a second half lead, couldn't hold on to beat Penn State today, but if you're an Illini fan, take heart. At least it wasn't your fans in that video....
