It Is Indeed Always Sunny There

Pat White Has A Special Friend
West Virginia quarterback Pat White would seem like the guy who has everything. NFL-ready talent — we guess — a spot on one of college football's best team and, you know, he's kind of handsome, if you're into that sort of thing. But the guy just wants more....

Setting The Second Table ...
Well, McNabb is nearly done taking out his frustration on the Lions, Steven Jackson still refuses to score a touchdown, and my Bills got their now 0-3 asses handed to them. Whatta say we get to these four o'clock games, eh?...
Cuz That Body's Too Bootylicious For Ya, Eh, Rog?
I didn't see this myself, but according to Foul Balls, Charlie Casserly reported on Inside the NFL this morning that the league sent a memo last week to all 32 teams informing them that they can no longer torture the visiting team with some well-placed tits and ass....

Maj's Bets O' The Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like Will and black fabric. Which is why I asked the Paul to my Mary, Unsilent Majority, to share more of his college football gambling wisdom with us here today. Obvious disclaimer: this shit could be wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. But hey, good luck! Ta...

Seemingly, No One Drinks In Wisconsin
Nothing's more fun than college football in the fall. Tailgating, commiserating with friends, cheering on the local team, general camaraderie all around. And, of course, drinking: What's football without a cold brewski or two beforehand. It clears the lungs. Clearly, the folks in Madison understand ...
