Al Unser Victim Of Prostitution Ring Blackmail Plot? Let's Go To The Videotape
Al Unser Jr. is known to me for two things: Winning the Indy 500 twice, and getting well-oiled on occasion and earning DUIs. Now, make that three things....
Graham Harrell Snubbed By Heisman Travel Agency
Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and The Exhalted One will be in New York City this weekend to eat fancy steaks, take one of those lame bus tours, and try hard not to mention the name "O.J. Simpson." Of course, there will be one young quarterback who won't be joining the Holy Trinity on their victory tour....
Zack And Shiancoe Make A Porno
You realize of course that this was inevitable: A Canoga Park, Calif., adult studio has made an "exclusive performance offer" to Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, and already has a specific film project in mind....
Chicago Blackhawks Star In A Heart-Warming Tale Of Thanksgiving Joy
I got an interesting email this morning about the Chicago Blackhawks. (Wait guys, that's not a joke!)...
ACC Rising?
The ACC is entering its sixth year since realignment. Was it worth it? That depends. Do you play football for Virginia Tech? [Sports Business Journal]...
Graham Harrell Will Be Your Man For All Seasons
Isn't this an adorable picture? According to these fine destinations, the gentleman in the top left corner decked out in a snazzy Christmas sweater is Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell. The sweater is one more befitting of an early 90's R & B group or a NAMBLA holiday card than a Heisman hopeful...
War Is Hell, Except When A Major Boxing Match Is On TV
The Filipino military stopped its offensives on Sunday to allow soldiers to watch the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya fight, an Army spokesman said. In addition, military camps in Metro Manila were transformed into viewing areas for the soldiers. [ABS CBN News]...
Sonya Curry Back On American Radars
I don't understand the Sonya Curry phenomenon. (Actually, I didn't even know there was one, but apparently it's tearing up the charts.) The mother of Davidson sharpshooter Stephen Curry is an attractive 40-something teacher and a former athlete herself, but does that really make her any more interes...
USC Wins Hypothetical Playoff According To Vegas Odds
Leave it to Las Vegas to sate all our needs. Even those we didn't know we had before. (I'm looking at you midget escort service.) Everyone knows that the idea of a playoff is so awfully complicated that it would require a Manhattan Project-level commitment before anything could happen. Or, you know...
The PLAYOFF Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals
Of all the pictures taken during The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals' NFC West-clinching "win" over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, that one there is my favorite. It is somehow perfect that, when the Arizona Cardinals won their first division championship since 1975 (the year I was born!), the ...
Hey Steve, Have This Souvenir Cup!
The fans in Carolina are so polite. After sitting through an exciting Monday Night Football game and then being forced to do a lengthy SportsCenter wrap up, Steve Young was clearly too busy to run to the concession stand and get a tasty soda. So some helpful Panther backer decided to gently toss his...
Hmm, I Just Know That They're Up To Something ...
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap....
Stacey Dales Out At ESPN, Turns in Long Pantsuits and Microphone
According to an emailer, college basketball and football sideline reporter Stacey Dales could not reach a contract agreement with ESPN for 2009, so she'll no longer be chasing down coaches and players for the WWL. ESPN has confirmed that rumor....
Kige Ramsey Paints Word Pictures With Alabama-Florida Live Blog
If you weren't able to watch the Alabama-Florida game on Saturday, I hope that you at least had computer access so that you could follow along as Kige Ramsey live blogged the event. Yes, the YouTube Sports broadcaster and owner of many fine Kentucky Wildcats T-shirts once again tried his hand at liv...
America's Most Distracted Team Still Wins NFC East
Somehow this loss is all Antonio Pierce's fault. But even though the Giants were pushed around by the revitalized Iggles, they were still NFC East champions at the end of the day. The best highlight from yesterday's 20-14 loss from a Giants perspective was Tom Coughlin's joyous sprint down the sidel...
This Must Be Some Sort Of Mistake
I see the words that have been hastily scrawled with Magic Marker on this sweat-soaked towel, but I'm not sure I understand what they mean. It seems to imply that the Cardinals are in fact the NFC West Division champions. The Arizona Cardinals? The football team? Whatever! (Let the record show that ...
Pacman Destroys A Listless De La Hoya
Manny Pacquiao completely dismantled Oscar de la Hoya from the opening bell until the match was halted after eight rounds of boxing in Las Vegas. There really isn't a whole lot to say, because Oscar simply did not show up for this fight. Pacman, the undisputed pound-for-pound champion of the world,...
Two Filthy Rich Men Are About to Beat the Hell Out of Each Other
Tonight marks the biggest night of the year for the sport of boxing, although the welterweight matchup between Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao is nothing more than a curious exhibition with tens of millions of dollars on the table. De la Hoya, who at this point in his career is more of an execut...
MAC Championship Live Blog: #12 Ball State Cardinals Vs. Buffalo Bulls
This is pretty much the only way Ford Field gets to host a championship football game. The Chirpin' Birds of Ball State will try to stay undefeated — again — against the blue-colored Bulls of the University At Buffalo. The winner gets to move on to play an important bowl game ... in the SAME FOOTBAL...
How The Gruden Stole Christmas
So are we pretty much agreed that the Big Three in Christmas specials are The Grinch, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas? (Apologies to Will Leitch). Well, one of these will not be seen in the Tampa Bay area as scheduled on Monday, as ABC is pre-empting A Charlie Brown Chri...
