Chad Johnson Wants You To Keep The Tape Rolling
No matter what anyone says, it's still hard to adjust to the notion of Keyshawn Johnson wearing a suit and being introduced by Chris Berman. It's like the spectacle of Sitting Bull as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Keyshawn was not meant to be tamed....
Spiraling Down The Coaching Abyss
We remember, a few years ago, when Roy Williams (the coach, not the pizza delivery boy) left Kansas to coach North Carolina. That led to a cascade of coaching changes, with Bill Self at Kansas, Bruce Weber at Illinois and Chris Lowery at Southern Illinois. Four quality coaches, four quality programs...
Which City Has The Ugliest People?
It's a question which has tortured us since we first read it about an hour ago: Which city has the ugliest people? Actually, this survey conducted by CNN News and Travel & Leisure Magazine is not confined to sports fans; it lists the cities with the ugliest residents overall. There were several cate...

Derek Jeter Takes Care Of His Ladies
If you needed any more proof that the life of an athlete is infinitely better than yours — and, surely, you did — witness this tale from Miami, involving Derek Jeter, two woman and the Parking Validation That Never Came....
Eric Byrnes Does Not Rock
What they're saying out in The Matrix about the Rockies' 6-4 National League Championship Series win over the Diamondbacks on Monday, which gave Colorado the NL pennant ......
Rockies Fans Have Earned It, History Or Not
Of all the photos we came across from Coors Field last night, we think this one is our favorite. Not because it reminds us of a similar experience, but because we think it's the only appropriate reaction to what the Rockies have done over the last month. This guy has probably never been happier, th...
Your National League Champion Colorado Rockies
It seems surreal just to type it, but it's true: The Colorado Rockies are heading to the World Series. We shouldn't try to explain it. We'll just say this: We think the Rockies could probably beat the Patriots right now....
Probably Time For The Rockies To Wrap This Up
The Colorado Rockies have a rather serious opportunity to clinch their first trip to the World Series in their history tonight — their "history" being what it is — and it should happen about 1:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. We cannot imagine how cold it's going to be, and we know playoff cold....

The Rockies Will Destroy All That You Hold Dear, Without Even Trying
You can go ahead and call this NLCS boring. The Colorado Rockies fans surely don't think so. It's a 3-0 lead, and the Rockies have now won a ridiculous 20 of their last 21 games. We don't understand anything anymore, not that anyone ever did....
Take Me Up To The Mile-High City
Now that was a solid sports weekend! Two playoff baseball games went to extra innings; Kentucky and Oregon State upset the top two teams in the nation; Midnight Madness kicked off; we've got the Pats and the 'Boys duking it out; there was probably a NASCAR crash in there somewhere ... action packed,...
Watch Jerry Rice Crank It, Watch Jerry Rice Roll ...
Watch Jerry Rice crank dat Soulja Boy, then Super Man dat ho! I have to admit, I was impressed at how quickly Rice seemed to pick up the steps. Maybe that Dancing With the Stars bull-shit was worth it after all. And hey, is Patrick Ewing Jr. a certified Soulja Boy dance instructor or something? I su...
