An Interview With The "Lee Corso Is A Penis" Guy
Remember that guy who held up that "Lee Corso Is A Penis" sign behind the ESPN ranter a few weeks ago? Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has an interview with the guy. Fittingly, the guy wouldn't give this last name because, of course, he wants to work for ESPN....
Meet The New Packers Running Back
The Packers might be down to to their fifth-string running back, but that's hardly a bad thing. In fact, new fantasy obsessive pickup Samkon Gado is one of our new favorite players, because we've come across MySpace profile, and, all told, we think the guy sounds kind of cool....
Is Peyton Ready For His Closeup?
Well, we've finally rid ourselves of that long-running subplot; the Colts have finally beat the Patriots, in a sadly dull Monday nighter. (Honestly, nobody shows less joy than Peyton Manning after a victory; it's like interviewing a hickish, slightly fey math teacher after he gives a test.) Indian...
Manning Vs. Brady, Monday Night Football. That'll Work.
Tonight's the game that's so huge that Sports Illustrated actually resisted the temptation to put Terrell Owens on the cover for it: Colts at Patriots, Manning vs. Brady, stats vs. results, dogs vs. cats, gay vs. straight, you name it....
That's All For T.O.
Making the unofficial officially official, Eagles coach Andy Reid announced a few minutes ago that Terrell Owens will not play for the Eagles again this season....
Smells Like Team Spirit In Carolina
As you would probably expect, we're getting all kinds of tips and info about the two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders who sis-boom-bahhed each other over the weekend, and we've even got some people on the inside whispering in our ear....
Clinton Portis' Methodical Meltdown
That guy right there is Redskins running back Clinton Portis, who is slowly limping toward madness, right before everyone's eyes. This week, before last night's win over the Eagles, Portis announced that his previous character, Southeast Jerome, had died and now he was Dr. I Don't Know. Who is Dr....
T.O.'s 18-Year-Old Assassin
We find it amusing that people are trying to come up with alternate excuses why Terrell Owens was suspended by the Eagles — fight with Hugh Douglas, frustration over the Eagles not recognizing his 100th touchdown, so on — when it's pretty clear, to us anyway, that his comment that Brett Favre woul...
Now We Know Why The WNBA Doesn't Have Cheerleaders
Well, these type of stories don't come along every day. As we're sure most of you have heard by now, two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders were arrested in Tampa early Sunday morning after, police say, the two of them were getting them some Sheryl Swoopes in the bathroom. That itself isn't illegal (t...
NFL Roundup: Kicking T.O.
• We love pictures like this. Everyone, honestly, should have a kicker of their own to hug and cuddle. • We're not going to get too into this — because, of course, we're going to do our own whole post on the matter later today — but ESPN's coverage of Terrell Owens is bordering on stalking. ESPN's...
Tom Brady's Existential Crisis
Honestly, does "60 Minutes" interview anyone but athletes anymore? This week's winner of the Steve Kroft Sweepstakes is Tom Brady, who waxes philosophic on his career so far, and what's coming up. He actually goes a little Theo Epstein/Bill Simmons on us, saying how he has sometimes struggled with...
Joe Paterno ... Closet Raci — You Know, We Don't Have The Energy Anymore
Another day, another old college football coach being subtly accused of racism. The headline on ESPN.com's home page kind of lets you know how Penn State coach Joe Paterno's comments on black athletes is being spun: "Paterno Links Black Athletes To Increased Scoring."...
T.O. Just Nukes 'Em All
Honestly, we don't know why athletes even give interviews anymore. Philadelphia Eagles poo-stirrer Terrell Owens, after being asked about ESPN moron Michael Irvin's comment that the Eagles would be undefeated with Brett Favre as quarterback instead of Donovan McNabb, responded with:...
Packers: Your Anytime Minutes Are UP, Mister!
If you are a reporter covering the Green Bay Packers, for God's sake, sheath your cell phone! Yesterday, the Packers cancelled Brett Favre's afternoon press conference after coach Mike Sherman's morning conference kept being interrupted by reporters' ringing cellphones. When one went off, Sherman ...
"But Boss, They Had Beards! BEARDS, I Say!"
The big news in New York this morning — now that A-Rod has been appropriately chided for that not-really-all-that-nasty gambling business — involves five Muslim football fans who were detained in September at Giants Stadium during the Giants-Saints game. Their mistake? Other than being Muslim, you...
Big Ben Has Windows Scraped
Word just came out at Steelers coach Bill Cowher's press conference: Ben Roethlisberger had knee surgery this morning and will be out 1-2 weeks. Ordinarily, we thought, knee surgery takes a little more out of one than that, but hey, he's Big Ben, he's tall, he could destroy you just by thinking a...
How Hurt Is T.O., Really?
Eagles receiver Terrell Owens, everybody's idea of a team player, has said he might not be able to play over the next three weeks because of a sprained ankle that aggravated his still-healing broken leg from last year. This is a terrible time, of course, for such an injury, since the Eagles happen...
Everybody Loves It When Athletes Get In Trouble
You know, when you look at the year long frat party that the 2005 Southern California football team has become, it's kind of surprising there hasn't been more malfeasance....
Things To Do In Cleveland When You're Drunk
Cleveland Browns running back Reuben Droughns was arrested early yesterday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol, after weaving in and out of traffic, speeding and ultimately blowing a 0.08 on the Breathalyzer. (Our father once actually told us, in one of our favorite pieces of advice...
Perhaps The Job Is To Pay Off Those Legal Fees
Everybody remember Mark Chmura? The former Packers tight end, famously popular in Green Bay despite some pretty questionable moral choices, was acquitted of sexual assault and child enticement charges back in 2001 after a teenager accused him of raping her at a post-prom party. Chmura, a guy with ...
