Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
"Illinois' Joe Morgan just assualted, er, I mean just said some unintelligible crap to, no, wait, just tackled an Indiana player. I can't keep my Joe Morgan's straight." - Kill Bill Wirtz...

I Don't Think They Mean That He's A South Carolina Fan
It's not exactly high art, but... it might make you chuckle on a lazy Saturday. I think it's the crudely drawn penis that makes it so amusing to me....

Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
"This is probably the 100th IM you've received about this, but there's a sign behind Kirk Herbstreit that says "Corso", then a picture of a heart, then a picture of a hairy penis." - Kill Bill Wirtz...

Well, Look Who's Back!
That's right, folks: You thought the beat slowed down, but with Clinton Portis, the beat just don't slow down....

No One Doesn't "Just Say No" More Than The Bengals
For the Rob Gordons of the world out there, few experiences are more satisfying than sifting through old record bins. We once found that famous William Shatner car crash LSD record ... and that was just in our parents' basement....

The Steelers Know Their Bread And Butter
For all those who felt the infamous Ben Roethlisberger "Drink Like A Champion" pictures were some sort of bad publicity for the quarterback and the Steelers, we point out this display at a suburban Pittsburgh mall....

Your Thursday Morning NFL Roundup
"So, like, I text messaged Terrell to wish him well and everything after his overdose thingy, and he never texts me back. No biggie, right? But now he says he never got it! Like, I'm so sure! It's incredible th ... oh wait, that's Ashley on the other line. Be back in a sec."...

We Knew We Were Lame For Letting People With Tees Into Our Birthday Parties
All told, we realize now that our Sunday evening was rather sedate. (Chocolate milk, Fig Newtons and Diner Dash, now that you asked.)...

The Dangers Of The Play-Calling Screens
You know how it goes. It's a hotly contested game of Madden, or NBA Live, or, say, NCAA Football 07, and you played your ass off and you lost on a last-second touchdown and you think your buddy was sneaking looks at your plays and you threw the controller across the room and you tried to get the l...

If Only There Were A Logical Time To Drink It ...
You know, we were fully aware that the Oklahoma-Texas football rivalry — if you missed it in all the playoff business roaming around these parts, they play this weekend — was a pretty big deal, but we'd always felt it lacked the critical component of beer....

Philadelphia Prepares For Battle ... And It's Never Too Early
Apropos of nothing, we've decided to attach a picture of Donovan McNabb doing shots to this post. Forgive us....

Go Wildcats!
Hey, when your team scores the game-winning touchdown, and you happen to be standing next to a cheerleader ... well, it's an exciting moment. We'll just say that....

There Are All Kinds Of Ways To Cheer For Your Team
They do some unusual things involving football down there in Texas, but this strange cheering tradition from the Texas A&M Aggie Corps might very well be the weirdest. We don't have the foggiest idea what's going on there, and we're not sure we want to know....

Ron Zook, Water Skiing
After our Illini's shocking upset victory over Michigan State on Saturday, we felt like we had no choice but to post this picture of coach Ron Zook water skiing. Weeeeee!!!!!...

NFL Roundup: Orton Should Be Getting To Bed Right About ... Now
• So we actually stayed up and watched the full scale of the Bears' dismantling of the defending NFC champions last night, and we're pretty sure nobody's going to beat Chicago for quite a while. It actually hurt us to watch them hurt the Seahawks; everyone looked bigger, stronger, faster, meaner. ...

NFL Week Four, Update #4
• New England just ass-romped the Bengals. This was not something I had anticipated. The Patriots offense was struggling, their secondary was hurting, and I thought Carson Palmer and the Bengals wide receivers would take advantage. 'Twas not the case. Laurence Maroney gashed them all day, Corey Di...

John L. Smith Knows What You're Thinking
And he's acting accordingly:...

NFL Week Four, Update #3
• The Raiders are confusing me. Maybe it's just because they're playing the Browns, but they're rolling. They got a touchdown from some damn linebacker who ran for a touchdown after Rueben Droughns politely handed him the football. And Lamont Jordan, who I actually thought passed away in the offse...

NFL Week Four, Update #2
• The Jets damn near pulled off the greatest play in the history of sports. It was one of those, "Hey, let's keep lateralling the ball and see what happens" deals that always ends in miserable failure, but this one last about seven minutes and made a hell of a lot of progress before finally peteri...

NFL Week Four, Update #1
• Drew Bledsoe and Terry Glenn have hooked up for two touchdowns, sending the message to Terrell Owens, "You know, we'd be fine if you did kill yourself. Owens himself has caught 3 balls for 73 yards, though he did drop a pass in the endzone. Kim Etheridge ran immediately onto the field and claime...
