More Fun With Unfortunate Ad Placement
Many valuable additions to my unfortunate ad placement collection over the past two days, and let me thank you. Here's a good one from our friends at Pro Football Talk, which probably needs no introduction. The Dallas police waste no time, it appears. I also laugh each time I look at this: ...
Thursday Night Preview: Florida State at North Carolina State and #8 BYU at #24 TCU
I suppose even the genius who schedules Thursday night games at ESPN is entitled to a mulligan. That's the only explanation for how Florida State at N.C. State ended up tonight's featured game. N.C. State is 2-4 and Florida State is 4-1. N.C. State has taken down William and Mary and East Carolina,...

The New Berlin Eisenhower High School football program — motto: When you gotta go, you gotta go — is under fire this week for the actions of its junior varsity team at halftime of a recent game against — and I'm not making this up — Pewaukee High. Believing that the restrooms were locked, visiting E...

Oh Happy Day
Last February, I received an email from a friend-of-a-friend of the publisher at Philadelphia magazine who wanted to know if The Daily Examiner, the Philly mag blog I was writing for at the time, would be interested in having weekly interviews with Shane Victorino throughout spring training. The guy...
Brent Musburger Offers Some Troubling News About Joe Paterno
Yesterday, ABC sportscaster Brent Musburger popped by the Dan Patrick show to talk about all things college football and one of the topics that came up was the remarkable success of Penn State this season under 82-year-old head coach Joe Paterno. But then the conversation turned a little grim. Musbu...
Kellen Winslow May Soldier On Against Redskins Despite Unfortunate Ball-Related Emergency
Kellen Winslow's mysterious "undisclosed illness" which has been rumored to be swollen balls according to Pro Football Talk, might still keep him out of this week's action against the Washington Redskins.

LA Sports Bar Bans Dodgers Gear ... Phillies Gear OK, Though
My sports bar of choice when in the Los Angeles area? Big Wangs, of course. Now with two locations — Hollywood and North Hollywood — making it more convenient to head on over to watch Game 5 of the NLCS, and enjoy a heaping basket of Wangs Wings.

Welcome To Midnight (Or Anytime You Want, Really) Madness
It's that time of year again ... the time when your favorite college basketball program gets you super-pumped up with a glorified pep rally then makes you sit on your hands for three weeks waiting for the big tip off against Marathon Oil.

Down Goes The Ref
What you see here is a referee being struck in the face during a fight at a high school game in Ohio between Springfield and Shelbyville Kettering Fairmont on Friday. The official was taken to the hospital with a facial injury but will be OK. In case you've never seen one in person, there's no scari...
How 'Bout Them Cowboys?
The NFL trade deadline is just 45 minutes away, and, yes, most of the time, the blockbuster deals usually involve special teams players and future draft picks and kicking tees, but this one could be somewhat intriguing. And one team that might look a whole lot different going into this weekend than ...
The Tragic, Live Unraveling Of A College Football Fan
Hey, Tommy Bowden's departure from Clemson was hard on all of us. But none moreso than Dave of Mount Pleasant, who called in to the Live 5 News sports report and tried to be brave, but dammit, he's been torn up ever since he heard the news, and now he's afraid that ... the whole program (gulp) is in...
Terrell Owens Was Very Yellow On Monday
It's Tuesday, and Black Sports Online is still asking the musical question: T.O., WTF are you wearing???

Giants Fear Dreaded Bone Lady Trap Game
I'll put some of the inevitable gloom-and-doom reports of the Red Sox/Rays game after it's over should the score hold up — still 5-0 Rays, Sox fans booing — but let's not forget there's also a Monday Night Football game this evening between the NFC East leading New York Giants and the still-waiting-...
John Madden Getting Sick of Riding Old Bones Across Country in a Bus to Cover Crappy Games
The Washington Post has just reported that NFL broadcasting stalwart John Madden will miss his first week blabbering about football for the first time in 476 games. He's not gravely ill and not planning on retiring soon either, so the Frank Caliendo suicide watch is also put off indefinitely. No, th...
