Jake Plummer, Terror On The Road
It's easy to forget now, but for a while there last year, Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer was having a pretty cool year. The Broncos had the best record in football, some were touting him as an MVP candidate and some even thought he could lead the team to the Super Bowl. And then the blowout and ...

Life Keeps Kicking Pitt Kicker

He's currently undergoing tests to see if he has a genetic heart condition like the one that required his brother to undergo surgery. But that's just the most recent thing he's been through. Observe......

Maurice Drew Hates Your Nerd Ass Too
We received this photo of former-UCLA, now-Jacksonville running back Maurice Drew a while back, and we decided not to run it, mainly because it's hard to blame a guy when someone decides to take a picture of a guy holding a blunt next to him while sleeping.

Goodnight, Sweet Dougie; May Your Dreams Involve Much Frantic Scrambling
He made it official earlier today at a press conference in waterlogged Foxborough: that scrappy, lovable Doug Flutie has finally retired, at the age of 43. As disappointed as we are to see Flutie retire — we always kind of figured he'd play until he was 60 — we are relieved as well; Flutie seems l...

Joey Porter, Security Risk
As almost everyone surely remembers from last season's Pittsburgh Steelers postseason run, linebacker Joey Porter is insane. Porter's patented crazy land technique is, to make sure he's appropriately pumped up for whatever endeavor he is about to undertake, concoct some insult or slight that his o...

Ron Zook Rocks It, Dude, Totally
This picture, found by The Wizard Of Odds, features Illinois head football coach Ron Zook ... uh, well, we're not sure what he's doing there. The hand gesture? The crazed, intense look in the eyes? The (gasp) "athletic gear?"...

The Porn Stars Of Tempe
