NFL Week Ten, Update #1
• The Titans are beating the hell out of the Ravens because they're racist. Travis Henry has displayed tremendous vision through his Klan hood, running for 78 yards and a touchdown. Vince Young has a rushing touchdown, Drew Bennett has 74 yards receiving, and the Ravens have been unable to run the b...
NFL Week 10 Preview: Cincinnati Police Force To Get Some Valuable Overtime
San Diego @ Cincinnati. You know, a lot of people like to look at this as a contest between two criminal-infested teams, but I don't think that's fair. At least, I think the Chargers have had cooler crimes. Steve Foley was shot by an idiot cop, Terrence Kiel was aiding in the production of the pur...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: One Loss, My Ass
Kansas State 45, (4) Texas 42. No Colt McCoy, no win, no chance for a national title. That'll ruin your weekend. McCoy was knocked out of the game early, and freshman Jevan Snead, while he wasn't terrible, wasn't good enough to keep up with a career performance from Kansas State quarterback Josh F...
Let's See If Another National Title Contender Bites It
Do you realize that tonight on ABC, you'll either be getting a game that features Wake Forest, or a game that features Kansas State? That's indicative of the crazy kind of college football season we've had, and also that someone at ABC, somewhere along the way, made a pretty poor decision. I'm not s...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
With the afternoon of college football winding down, South Carolina and Florida are about to come down to the wire. I have no real rooting interest, and I sort of hate Steve Spurrier... but it would be sort of awesome to see at least a couple of those one-loss "but we deserve the BCS championship ...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
I think the best part of living in Big Ten country is that you are always assured a game with Indiana, Illinois or Northwestern. Oh, did I say best thing? I meant I want to pick my eye out with a grapefruit spoon. - Victoria Times...
Let's Revisit That Rose Bowl, USC
Yahoo! Sports, seemingly dedicated to the sole pursuit of torturing the University of Southern California, has done some digging about the instant replay booth in last year's national championship game. They've discovered that it was an incorrectly hooked-up replay monitor that prevented the prope...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Glad to see Auburn is taking advantage of the loss by Louisville by being taken behind the hedges at Georgia, not too mention the side judge just pulled his hamstring. - EPS...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I slept late. What's the news on Corso's wang today? - Tuffy Rhodes...
Own Pac-Man's Car!
As anyone who has dealt with the difficult nature of car salesmen, you sometimes just don't know whom to trust.

The View From Inside Rutgers Stadium
As we continue to sift through the empty cans next to the Vince Lombardi Memorial Rest Stop off the New Jersey Turnpike, we again salute the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for their historic and jaw-dropping 28-25 win over Louisville last evening. The video above — amazingly, posted within two hours after ...
Time To Go Nuts In Jersey
Every school, theoretically speaking, should have that moment when everything is perfect and right, one of those nights where all students begin a four-day orgy of drinking, unbridled celebration and Italian sandwiches. Tonight is that night for Rutgers, which is now one of the four undefeated teams...
Louisville. Rutgers. For ALL THE MARBLES.
We are truly living in a blessed age when the most important college football game of the week, one of the most important of the season, not only involves Louisville, not only is being played on a Thursday night ... but actually is being hosted by Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights, before tonight, have n...
The Legend Of Ned Grows
What makes a hero? Is a man born to be remembered through the ages, or is greatness thrust upon him whether he desires it or not? History may little note nor long remember the fight between Florida International and the University of Miami. But we shall never forget the valiant sacrifices of Ned, ...
The Santa Clara 49ers Of California
Just a few days after the Oakland A's announced they're leaving the Bay Area for Fremont, the San Francisco 49ers dropped an even bigger bomb yesterday: They've given up on getting a new stadium and are heading to Santa Clara. Some city officials are holding out hope it's a power play to get a bet...
Fred Smoot's Blanket Coverage
We were just forwarded this shot, from an MSNBC gallery, from last Sunday's Vikings-49ers game. You might not be able to tell from the photo — perhaps you are distracted by the ass — but the defender on the play? None other than Fred Smoot....
The Return Of Ned
A profile in courage from Florida International University: Running back A'Mod Ned, the injured Panther who heroically joined the fray of the infamous Miami-FIU brawl from a month or so ago despite, you know, being on crutches, is expected to return to practice this week and could be able to retur...
A Closer Look At The Late Bryan Pata
As the college football world comes to terms with the tragic, awful death of Miami Hurricanes defensive tackle Bryan Pata, who was shot yesterday outside his apartment, details continue to filter in. The University has not yet announced if the team will play its game Saturday against Maryland....
Football Is So Painful Sometimes
Another beautiful thing about YouTube: It can so aptly capture that moment when being a sports fan is at its worst, when the world is entirely out of your control, when events conspire against you and just make you want rage, rage, RAGE against all that has been taken from you....
