Afternoon Blogdome: That's Just Rowdy Being Rowdy

Tyler Hansbrough Welcomes You To The All-Day College Basketball Brain Smasher
It's a bit late, but college basketball is finally getting the all-inclusive nationwide blowout spectacular that the opening of a season deserves. ESPN is currently in the midst of a 23-hour amateur hoops marathon, complete with nine games, a big recruiting announcement and more Andy Katz spots on S...
Rich Rodriguez To Michigan Fanboys: "Get A Life"
It's safe to say that the Rich Rodriguez Era at Michigan is not going as planned. (If you're a Michigan State or Ohio State fan, however, you're probably thinking that it could not have been planned better.) The Wolverines are in the midst of a historically awful season that has fans and alumni noti...
Shocking New Evidence In The Natalie Nelson/USC Song Girl Investigation
You remember Natalie Nelson, the USC Song Girl who infamously cheered for the wrong team when Texas scored a touchdown in the 2006 Rose Bowl.

David Wright's Dreaminess Almost Causes Cougar Riot
Page Six is always searching for some way to put Mets' third baseman David Wright in the column and today has finally found a suitable angle to satisfy its gossip-hungry readership: an eyewitness account of Wright almost getting trampled by amorous old ladies. During his annual "Do The Wright Thing"...
Chinese Democracy, 15 Years Down, Five Days To Go
Of all the Guns 'N Roses stories, the "Rocket Queen" one is my favorite. When "Appetite For Destruction" was recorded, the moaning sounds on the album's closer (which might be my favorite G'N'R song, actually), were captured while Adriana Smith, a 19-year-old stripper who had been dating drummer St...
Mindy McCready Did Not Have Sex With Roger Clemens When She Was 15. Gawd
The latest chapter in the saga of Roger "I'm certainly not an unfaithful, fib-telling douche" Clemens and Mindy "In no way am I any kind of a golddigging publicity whore" McCready unfolded on Monday on the TV show Inside Edition. For one thing, our aspiring country & western diva says that there was...
ESPN Extends BCS Nightmare By Ponying Up More Cash Than Fox
Since 2007 Fox has broadcast the BCS Games. Sure, this was a little awkward because Fox didn't carry college football on the network during the regular season, but it worked. Kind of. Now, ESPN has done what ESPN usually does — gone and outbid the competition for the rights. (Doesn't it kind of mak...
Jim Leyritz Will Soldier On Somehow
You no doubt recall the legal trouble facing Jim Leyritz, the former Yankee who is free on bail pending his DUI manslaughter trial. Leyritz is accused of being involved in an accident while driving drunk, in which a young mother was killed. Well, last week Leyritz asked a judge to remove a Breathaly...
George Karl Does Not Miss Allen Iverson
So how is that Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups trade working out? Funny you should ask! The Nuggets are 5-1 since adding Billups. The Pistons are just 3-3 with A.I., but they did win three straight on the road and gave the Los Angeles Lakers their first loss of the season. So everyone's happy, ri...

Faltering Bills Encouraged By Female Makeout Session
First it was the man and woman getting it on in one of the restrooms, and now this ... as a couple of apparently hot chicks celebrate a Bills touchdown on Monday Night in their own special way.

Brian Cuban Would Like You To Know That His Brother Is Not Martha Stewart
Thanks for attempting to clear that up Brian, but I always thought it was obvious by the way Mark dresses. Black pullovers in the spring? Sheesh. Anyway, Brian Cuban, Dallas attorney and brother of the mercurial Mark Cuban, is firing back on his own blog at meanies who have been emailing him with va...
Monday Night Football Fever Is Not All You'll Catch
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap With staph infections running rampant in the NFL these days, it's nice of random fans to warn us of potential hazards. That's a rather nasty case of it under that Browns supporter's...
Monday Night Live Blog: Browns-Bills
Never before have so many Midwestern teams that aren't actually located in the Midwest been in one stadium at once! The disappointing Cleveland Browns and differently-but-equally disappointing Buffalo Bills will battle to the frigid death to see who's less disappointing team of all. It's going to be...
Charissa Thompson Wisely Returns to Hair Color Prefered by Boner-Popping NFL Viewership
It was only a few short weeks ago that stunning-looking FOX NFL sideline reporter Charissa Thompson de-blonded herself for a more Lisa Loebian-type camera presence. It's not that she looked horrible with the cat glasses and the brunette locks, but it was an extreme transformation that seemed to have...
Approaching Inferno Or No Approaching Inferno, We're Getting In Our 18 Holes
What kind of a penalty is that if the wind from the firefighting helicopter blows your ball into the rough? "Tough luck that part of the fairway being on fire, Chuck. But that's where you hit it, and rules are rules." Natural disasters can be so damned inconvenient sometimes, especially when the she...

The Ongoing Odd Behavior of One Bill Simmons Continues to Captivate, Cause Concern
Many of you emailed to inform me that I was inexplicably name-dropped in the Sports Fella's most recent mailbag column, which was quite hilarious, if not a little jarring. Was this another not-so-subtle way of Mr. Simmons extending a bony middle finger to his employer? Not really. It was his own way...
