This might be the oddest matchup of the divisional round: The Saints are a team that no one is quite sure whether or not is a leading contender or just a team that would occasionally get hot at the right time.

Life's Pretty Tough For Buckeyes Fans
Our friends at NBX Sports Blog have put together this compilation video of distressed Ohio State fans showing during the FOX broadcast of the Buckeyes' destruction at the hands of the Florida Gators on Monday. We've always wanted someone to make a fan montage like this; just a bunch of people puttin...

Matt Hasselbeck Is Sexy, You See (YEAH!)
Last year, a Seattle radio station, attempting to, we dunno, inspire somebody or something, came up with "Sweet Shaun Alexander," an ear-bleeder set to the tune of "Sweet Home Alabama." (You know, because of the loggers.)...

Keep The Micks Out Of San Diego!
If you're a New England Patriots fan — because Lord knows we need more of those — and you want tickets to the AFC Divisional game in San Diego on Sunday, you're out of luck: The Chargers are restricting online ticket purchases to those from Southern California.

Well, the bowls are finally, FINALLY over, and, as much as the bowl system might be ridiculous and a relic of a time when everybody gathered around the fireplace and listened to the games on their 100-pound radios, we must confess that they were more entertaining than we had anticipated.

We admire their conclusion: They just picked two retired ...

If you're not up on your aging "psychedelic" hair metal band sports trivia, former Stone Temple Pilots and current Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland is an inexplicable fan of Notre Dame football.
