How To Simulate Reggie Bush
Apparently, the Texas Longhorns are having a difficult time finding someone to simulate Reggie Bush on the scout team during practices....
The Trophy Monstrosity
Via TrojanWire and Every Day Should Be Saturday, we present the trophy given to the winner of the Fiesta Bowl this year. That's really it. This isn't actual size, but oh, if it were....
Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs
It does seem like this has been happening a lot of late: The Buffalo Bills a couple of weeks ago didn't allow several fans to bring their anti-management signs into Ralph Wilson Stadium, threatening them with ejection if they didn't throw the sign away. The Associated Press interviews Mike Allenba...
Big Ben's Prom Date
We were just sent this infinitely amusing photo from Saturday's Steelers-Browns game. This woman apparently went to prom with Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and is broadcasting it to the world. (This is why being famous is terrifying; somewhere out there, there are pictures of our junio...
Jim Mora, Blowin' Up!
Four days after his outburst following the Falcons' playoff hopes-ending loss to Tampa Bay last week, Atlanta coach Jim Mora Jr. is still doing damage control. In case you missed it, Mora, doing a radio interview with the Falcons' affiliate after the game, flipped out after being asked about a que...
Debating Dungy's MySpace Profile
Like anyone who watched yesterday's heartwrenching press conference held by Colts coach Tony Dungy after his son James' funeral, we were touched, saddened and overall deflated by Dungy's straightforwardness and obvious devastatation. We continue to find the speculation about when Dungy will return...
Saying Goodbye To Tempe
No one on the planet noticed it on Saturday, but, as it turns out, another Cardinals team said goodbye to its stadium this year....
James Dungy's MySpace Profile
A terribly ghoulish way to start your post-holiday break, we agree, and, honestly, we've questioned ourselves as to whether or not this is the type of thing we should be posting about. But we tend to take the viewpoint that if something is out there, and it might be of interest, we owe it to you t...
The "End" Of Monday Night Football
Like most people who watched last night's typically dull "Monday Night Football" finale, we enjoyed all the old clips from years past, the Howard Cosells, the Dandy Dons, the O.J. Simpsons, oh, how we loved the O.J. Simpsons. (And of course, Dennis Miller, whose "dark" sarcastic edge was wasted by...
An Orgy Of Sorgi
Peyton Manning's day was limited to 12 attempts, and it's been all Jim Sorgi since. The headline might be a little misleading; Sorgi hasn't actually done anything remarkable, good or bad. He's 7/11 for 46 yards, 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. I really just liked the rhyme....
Steelers Putting Their Thing Down
Those of you who are hoping for a Browns upset over the Steelers today are likely to end up quite sad. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is apparently still quite bitter about the afore-mentioned Mr. Football snub, and he's playing his best ball of the year....
Portis Now Getting Costume From Garage Sales
Just for the record, yesterday Redskins running back Clinton Portis wore a old leather football helmet, pigtails and Groucho Marx glasses. He called himself "Inspector Two Two." We have no idea what any of this means anymore. At this point, he's just cleaning out the neighbor's closet. In the fin...
A Chesnning Boat Trip
This is cheap, but come on, who cares, you know? We just can't resist a good Chesnning story....
Free Crap From The Bowl Games
Our weekend-comrade-in-arms The Mighty MJD — he'll be updating here all day on Christmas Eve, because he's that damned devoted — has dug up some fascinating info: A rundown of the swag bags bowl games are giving out to their players....
Tony Dungy's Son Dead Of Apparent Suicide
In an absolutely horrible, tragic story, James Dungy, the son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, has been found dead in a Florida apartment building....
Soon, They'll Start Stealing His Chicks
So here's a completely strange story: Apparently USC quarterback Matt Leinart — perhaps you've heard of him — was apparently suspended for the Rose Bowl for, like, an hour....
An Interview With The Facebook Princess
A couple of weeks ago, we abandoned all pretense of the high, proper standards of sports blogging and just directed you to Facebook photos of Florida State "superfan" Jenn Sterger. Now she's going to be in Maxim in a couple of months, in Playboy after that and, in the biggest coup, is giving inter...
We're Going To Resist A "Giving Him Blue Balls" Joke
See that? That's a Christmas ornament as designed by Colts quarterback Peyton Manning for the Alive Hospice. It's kind of cute, a hand-drawn little angel. Other ornaments featured on the site include designs by Amy Grant, LeAnn Rimes, Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen and, yes, country music croone...
Sweet Lord, Let Him Not Be Kidding
Last week, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson disappointed us — and pretty much every sports fan we know — by scoring a touchdown and simply handing the ball back to the ref....
Eventual, Delayed Justice, Miami Style
We're not sure if you can call it a "happy" ending, or even anything resembling justice, but, after a semester of institutional idiocy, at least things will be slightly back to normal....
