Lawyer Milloy Is A Demon With The Red Pen
New Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino wrote this nice little letter to his team after bolting on them in the middle of the season. (Wisely, but still.) Falcons cornerback Lawyer Milloy was eager to add his own addendum....
We Congratulate "Florida Quarterback" On His Heisman Trophy
One of the nice things about college athletes is that you don't have to pay them. Heck, it might be the best thing about college athletes. Seriously, look at them: They can put their bodies and lives on the line every week, and we don't have to give 'em nothin'. Amazing, right? And if they do really...
Bobby Petrino Ends Up A Smashing Success In Atlanta
Ah, the halcyon days of January 7, 2007. Bobby Petrino was coming off a thrilling year as coach of Louisville, and he was seen as an offensive mastermind. He was Steve Spurrier, except, you know, he didn't mind working hard either. And then, very quickly, it all imploded....
Why Vick's Gonna Be In The Slammer So Long
We remember Ron Mexico's contrite, emotional press conference from August, when he nearly broke down and talked about his love for the Lord. We found it an impressive confession. His initial confession was a bit less graceful....
Tonight's Episode Of The Vick Bowl
Under normal circumstances, this would be what we'd call a "dull" Monday Night Football game, the Saints at the Falcons. In the wake of the Ron Mexico business today, it is upgraded/downgraded to "insufferable."...
Shake Your Rump For Jeremy Shockey
This is the time of year when everyone starts freaking out about their New Years Eve plans. If you're one of those hot ladies we keep hearing so much about, Jeremy Shockey has a potential party plan for you....
Tebow Wins Heisman, Loves Jesus
I didn't watch the Heisman Trophy presentation show (what's the point?) but I've been assured that Tim Tebow did in fact win. As a Gator fan of some 20 years I'm quite happy for Superman, but I'm not going to bludgeon you over the head with my homerism the way Tebow does with all of that god talk. O...
Mayweather Disposes of Hatton In 10
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is simply better than everybody else on the planet, and now even the Brits have to admit that. In front of a raucous crowd high rollers, A-list celebrities, and Manchester's loudest drunks (that's a compliment!) Mayweather went toe-to-toe with the previously undefeated Ricky Hat...
Submit Your Body Shots to Bruno Fierce
Craigslist is an almost endless source of entertainment if you're coming down off of a coke bender, otherwise it's good for the occasional laugh. Sometimes it's even a great source of information for the hot young trollops of New York who are looking for a chance to have champagne spilled on them by...
Just One More Ornament For Tebow
In a season in which the favorite for the Heisman Trophy seemed to change every week, we all seem to have reached a sort of consensus on the eventual winner: It's Tebow, of course....
The Armadillo Cowboy, Know Thy Name
The NBA Closer is written by our own Canadian weekend maestro J.E. Skeets. When he's not busy scouring the box scores or throwing out pork chops, he can be heard on The Basketball Jones daily podcast. Enjoy!...
Your Team Would Like To Trade For Santana Too
Andruw Jones signed with the Dodgers yesterday — the money seems a bit high, but the two-year commitment wouldn't seem crippling to us — and Dontrelle and Tubby McTubberson headed to Detroit, and that's pretty much all that came out of baseball's winter meetings, which end today. So, perhaps Johan S...
Introducing The Dugout's "Football Guys"
We have made no secret of our enduring love of The Dugout, both in its original incarnation and its current, non-expletive form at AOL Sports. But you think these guys just know baseball? Pshaw....
Our Last Ever Mention Of The Schrutebag
We're not sure why we bother anymore, but anyway: Here's today's idiotic rant from ESPN Schrutebag Colin Cowherd on the death of Sean Taylor....
Marty Brodeur Is Happy Again
We are proud to welcome famed hockey journalist James Mirtle to the post of NHL Closer writer this week....
Grant Hill Drinks Prune Juice
The NBA Closer is now being written by our own Canadian weekend maestro J.E. Skeets. Enjoy....
The Final Word On Sean Taylor (For Now)
We've always enjoyed David Aldridge; he seems like one of those guys who found his true self once he left ESPN. We appreciate that he keeps the sports for what they are, and knows who he is: He's an information guy, and he's one of the best. But he knows when to step out and make his voice heard whe...
Antrel Rolle Thinks He Knows What Happened To Sean Taylor
We still don't think Michael Wilbon's chat comments were in particularly good taste — and who's more experts on good taste than us? — but he's not the only one questioning whether the death of Sean Taylor was just some random break-in. Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle, who also went to the U and kn...
