Joba Chamberlain's Aching Shoulder May Have Officially Killed The Yankees' Post-Season Hopes
The above photo was taken a few weeks ago when Yankees' ace Joba Chamberlain popped into random Dunkin' Donuts in Manhattan to serve cold coffee-like beverages to unsuspecting customers. Maybe that's how he tweaked his shoulder. The 22-year-old ace-in-training is getting it looked at by Birmingham, ...
Get Away From Me Rachel Nichols!
If there's any people to feel empathy toward during this whole Brett Favre mess, it probably should be the army of ESPN reporters who've been obsessively covering it with the intensity of a presidential election. This morning, Chris Mortensen, phoned in his "Favre to Bucs" report and sounded like a ...
Our Hero Heads For The Loving Embrace Of Alligators, Stifling Humidity And Jon Gruden
Fans of the interception will be happy to know that Brett Favre is THIS close to becoming a Tampa Bay Buccaneer; as the Tampa Tribune is breathlessly reporting.

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.

Hitler Is Pretty Much Fed Up With The Brett Favre Situation
This isn't the first time someone has added subtitles to this scene from the German film Downfall for parody goodness (see below).

After his arrest, no drugs or alcohol were found in his system, and police rel...
Another Unfortunate Night For Super Judah
Personally, I blame Affliction. That douchey brand is intent on draping every fighter in that crap, and now it's forced Zab Judah's signature Star of David to a small space near the inseam of his shorts. And now Super Judah's career as a title contender is almost certainly over. Of course some crap...

Les Miles and Snoop Dogg Are Boyzzzz
In one of the more incongruous pairings of this American life, Snoop Dogg showed up at a rotary club meeting to express his approval of LSU head coach Les Miles.

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.

The Packers Want This Brett Favre Thing To End Just As Much As You Do

The Beer At Gay Bars Must Be Especially Good
Their school already has the gayest of all mascots — not that there's anything wrong with that — so why shouldn't two University of Virginia football players be arrested for stealing beer from a gay bar?
