Woman Referees New Orleans Saints Practice Scrimmage...Four Horsemen Seen Trotting Nearby
There were the usual complaints: She's blowing her whistle too suggestively, the shorts show too much skin and yet not enough skin, why can I see her panty-line, she should wear a thong, the ref stripes make it impossible to see whether she'd look good topless, you know, the same old sturm und dran...
Source: Favre Cedes Starting Job To Rodgers (Make It Stop!)
Our long national nightmare may soon be over. Details from Monday's late-night summit between Brett Favre and Packers coach Mike McCarthy are beginning to leak, despite our best efforts not to care, and it appears that our flip-flopping hero wants no part of a quarterback competition with Aaron Rodg...
Aaron Rodgers Era Begins The Way You Thought It Might
Aaron Rodgers was welcomed with all the warmth and patience that one might expect from the down-to-earth, dairy-loving folks of Wisconsin on Monday; he was booed back to the Stone Age. The new guy threw an end zone interception during a two-minute drill to go along with a dozen or so incompletions, ...
Jessica Simpson Is Webcam Stripping For Tony Romo During Training Camp
Because otherwise he gets lonely. At least according to the always reliable Sun newspaper. Do you think Nick Lachey is more jealous of Tony Romo than he is of his ex-wife? I sort of do. I'm picturing Lachey reading this and thinking, "Damn, that could have been me on the webcam with Tony." Anyway, ...
Steve Smith Apologizes (But Would Really Like To Punch You)
For once again releasing his inner Sonny Corleone, Steve Smith would like to apologize. As you know, Smith popped cornerback Ken Lucas in the eye during practice on Friday, with the resultant damage being: a broken nose that will require surgery for Lucas, and a suspension without pay for the first ...
Javon Walker Talked Out of Retiring By Al Davis
Because, honestly, who among us hasn't been overwhelmed by the powers of persuasion of Al Davis? Not that Raiders fans were that optimistic about this season to begin with, but the receiver you just signed to a six year $55 million dollar deal wanting to quit doesn't instill a lot of pre-season con...
Pro Football Hall of Fame Game Live Blog
All right, football zealots. Finally, a televised NFL game (for lack of a better word). It's the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins. John Madden has been dipped in bronze gravy for this joyous occasion, and Al Michaels will be sitting on his knee. Before you follow along after the J-M-P,...
Brett Favre Reinstated, Says Brett Favre
A familiar face will be flying into Green Bay tonight. Care to make a guess? Oh, alright, I'll tell you. It's Aaron Rodgers's favorite person in the whole world, a fella by the name of Favvrreee. Roger Goodell apparently got antsy and couldn't wait until Monday to make a decision; according to ESPN...
Steve Smith Punched a Teammate; Training Camp Has Officially Begun
The fists of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith rudely introduced themselves to teammate Ken Lucas's face yesterday, and both guys were kicked out of practice. Lucas, though, had to be treated for injuries on the field before he was taken to the locker room. I'm sure that did wonders for hi...
Kenny Irons ("AKA The Franchise") Is "Hongry" For Some Hooters
So he does what any man who is hongry for some Hooters does, he takes a camera in and narrates a trip to the restaurant. I'm sure this video will go a long way towards making Bengals fans feel better about the second round pick their team spent on the Auburn running back. If you've ever wondered wh...
Ken Lucas Owns A Hyperbaric Chamber, And A Black Eye
Panthers' wide receiver Steve Smith got into it with cornerback Ken Lucas earlier today in training camp, the fracas resulting in Lucas being sped off the practice field in a cart with an ice pack over his left eye. But that's not what caught my attention about Lucas. While looking up background on ...
Mike Williams, Former First Rounder in 2005, Cut By Third Team
What's worst of all about that, the Titans cut him. And the Titans have the worst receiving corps in the NFL. As if that weren't bad enough Williams was released by the Raiders last October. Since being drafted by the Detroit Lions as the 10th overall pick in the 2005 Draft, Williams has been relea...
Quincy Carter Trying Out For Dolphins QB
That striking matches sound you just heard was every Dolphins fan trying to burn their Dan Marino jerseys in tandem. I know it's been bad for the Dolphins, but, Quincy Carter bad? You'll recall that Carter played for Parcells at Dallas in 2004. Before heading to the Jets for three games and then fai...
There's A Bill Belichick Sex Tape? Merciful Jesus, Anoint My Eyes With Clorox
Like opening the ancient, creaky attic door in a horror movie, some moves are so obviously wrong-headed that you just want to scream. Tom Casale, a former writer for Patriots Football Weekly, has just made one of those moves. Writing under the name Tommy Rider (red flag right there), he penned a far...
It's Brett Favre Training Camp Eve!
Less than 24 hours remain before Brett Favre is likely to make his debut at training camp with Green Bay. And to think, there were some who wanted him to stay retired. This is going to be wild; a media circus the likes of which Wisconsin has never witnessed. It'll be like Christmas and your birthday...
Brady Quinn Starts Off New Season With Training Camp Tights
It's no big deal. Lots of quarterbacks wear tights when it's 100 degrees outside. Like...yeah, there's no real good comparison here. Am I the only person who pictures Brady Quinn angrily throwing down his Ripped Fuel in the locker room and squealing, "Darn it guys, they're not tights. They're Europ...
Jeff Garcia Longs For Affection From Someone Other Than His Wife
In what could turn out to be an old man tussle of epic proportions not seen since Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau fought for the red-headed love of Ann-Margret, current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia has let it be known that he is not conceding to that graybeard fellow in Green Bay shou...
Rush Limbaugh Pursuing the Rams?
Would the universe implode if he traded for Donovan McNabb? Aside from his short-lived experiment with ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, Rush previously worked in promotions for the Kansas City Royals and frequently references his sports fandom on his show. Speculation on Limbaugh as an owner has intens...
Randy Moss' Daughter Is The Female Teen Wolf
Randy Moss has a 14-year-old daughter? Try as I might, I can't imagine him shuffling through the kitchen in slippers, making sack lunches and driving someone to school. Who was more precocious, I wonder; Sydney Moss or Rudy Huxtable? At any rate, young Moss is evidently a pretty strong hoopster; jus...
Adam "Pacman" Jones Gets His First Dallas Endorsement Deal
I think I speak for everyone when I say, "This is Adam Jones; formerly Pacman. I've learned how tough it is to get a second chance," is the most persuasive opening to a commercial in the history of television. Particularly with the 1970's r&b background music. How much money did this company have...
