Jon Kitna Was Sacked For Your Sins
You just knew that when God finally made his presence known to mankind, it would be to heal a journeyman NFL quarterback's minor head injury. So you Iraqi kids with missing limbs, you're just going to have to wait your turn. Jon Kitna's got to take care of business!...
Leave Bill Belichick Alone!
This guy must have watched the Crazy Britney Fan video at least fifty times to achieve this degree of nuance, and for that I salute him. He also gets a couple points for the Brady jersey. Not sure about the touque, though. I managed not to laugh out loud until near the end, when he slipped in one fi...

Tom Brady, LaDainian Tomlinson, And You!
Well, another weekend, another twenty to thirty televised football games. Whew. What a weekend. I've never eaten so much beef jerky in my life! (I really need to take up smoking.) But hey, we're not done yet. No, that would be healthy....
Exclusive New England Patriots Spy Video
Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to leave Bill Belichick alone. ("He's a human being!") But I couldn't resist posting this exclusive video footage that shows just how those sneaky Pats managed to cheat against the Jets. I mean, Madden? Who would've thunk it?...
The Grand Sportsmanship Of The Terrapins Fans
Maryland might not have been particularly competitive in its loss to West Virginia last night, but that's only if look at it as an on-the-field endeavor. Off the field, the Terrapins fans were kicking some ass....

Chairman Belichick's Revenge
Last month, Eric Gillin, editor of Esquire.com and a founding editor of The Black Table, previewed the New England Patriots by comparing them to Communist China. As you might expect, he had plenty to say about these whole videotaping allegations. After the jump, enjoy the continuation of the metapho...
Oden, The Day After
Portland might be the place where indie rockers go to die, but it's certainly a very sad place still today, in the wake of Greg Oden's devastating medical diagnosis....

One Awkward Rosh Hashanah In New England

Greg Oden's Ancient Knee Goes Into The Shop
We find the fact that Greg Oden is going to miss the entire 2007-08 season very depressing news, and boy, doesn't that make us unique. The worst part about it, as anyone who has read his blog at Yardbarker, he's a likable, upfront guy for whom it's difficult not to root for....
Is It Wrong To Do It With An Opposing Team's Fan?
To this day, our favorite ESPN commercial remains the one where the male Ohio State fan and the female Michigan fans make out with each other. There's something primal about our reaction to it; it seems grotesque, somehow, like cousins French kissing, or a dog doing it with a sheep. Sleeping with yo...
Today In Illict Drug Use
We were awfully relieved to wake up this morning — the worst part about doing the site on the West Coast is that we still have to get out of bed as if we were still on the East Coast; our wakeup call was 4:30 this morning — and pick up our Seattle Times. We love local papers; they're awfully excited...
Bill Belichick Is Very, Very Sorry. Just Kidding ... He Couldn't Care Less
Yes, it's the man whom you never thought you'd see leading off Who's Sorry Now, because he never apologizes for anything ... Mr. Bill Belichick. The New England Patriots coach issued a one-paragraph statement 10 minutes before his regular press conference on Wednesday, concerning the Beligate videot...
Anybody Out There Notice The Indians?
We'll confess, we're as guilty as anyone: No one seems to have noticed that the Cleveland Indians are in striking distance of the best record in baseball....
