Georgia-Alabama Game To Be Friendly Backyard "Funeral" (With Cussin')
The premier game of this Saturday's college football schedule is the evening tilt between No. 3 Georgia and No. 8 Alabama, two SEC schools that have very little animosity toward each other. The host Bulldogs are instructing their fans to dress all in black as part of an innovate strategy designed to...
The Matt Millen Era Mercifully Ends In Detroit
It appears Bill Ford Jr.'s comments from a couple days ago were either not-so-subtle foreshadowing or they were taken under consideration by those who do have authority, because according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, Matt Millen, the Detroit Lions oft-criticized president and general manager, is offic...
Kermit Washington To Punch Third-World Hunger In The Face
Drought, famine, and crippling poverty better stay on the bench for this fight because Kermit Washington is coming out swinging. The former NBA baller and American University alum has his own non-profit organization called Project Contact Africa, that wants to throw a roundhouse right to the skull o...
Exclamation Point-Prone Playmate Adamantly Denies Engagement To Eagles Reciever
Yesterday, Philadelphia gossip hounds were investigating a rumor that "Girl Next Door" Kendra Wilkinson was engaged to Philadelphia Eagles' receiver Hank Baskett. Although many theories about the couple's cozy relationship were circulated, Baskett denied any physical relationship and maintained that...
Big Dope Loses All His Cowboys Stuff. Poor, Dumb Sap
You hate to see anyone become the victim of a burglary, but at the same time it's hard to feel any sympathy for Bruce Marziani. Bruce was born and raised in Philadelphia, but is a Dallas Cowboys fan, as you can see. And when he traveled to Irving for the big Monday Night showdown with the Eagles, he...
In Which We Ask The Musical Question, What The Hell Was That?
Kat DeLuna was called a "pop sensation" by the Texas Stadium announcer as she prepared to sing the National Anthem at what I'm assuming was the Monday Night game against the Eagles. She caused a sensation, all right. It's the first time I've heard an anthem singer booed who didn't unintentionally b...
The Houston Astros Politely Reject Bud Selig's Apology
When Hurricane Ike rained on the party inside Minute Maid Park in Houston last weekend, Bud Selig infamously made the Astros play two games at a "neutral site", Milwaukee's Miller Park. As you can imagine, this was not well received in the Astros' clubhouse. Houston, which had been red hot prior to...
Stephen A. Smith Hangs Out With His Blogosphere Homies in Vegas
Some of your favorite sports bloggers are in Las Vegas this weekend for something called BlogWorldExpo 2008. Very little sex shall be had at this event. Though, I'd keep a close eye on that Sussman kid; he's a wild one. Amazingly, Stephen A. Smith is also apparently taking part in this "conference"...
NASCAR's New Buzz-Killing Drug Policy
NASCAR officials have implemented a new drug policy, one which virtually anyone associated with the sport will be subject to.

Michael Beasley Is A Young Man In Need Of A Crazy Joe Clark-Like Figure
The NBA handed out punishments to former Kansas players Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur for that Rookie Transition Training incident, but it turns out that Kansas State's Michael Beasley was also there that night, partaking in the nefarious, smoky late night activities. The Heat's number one pick ...
George Brett Would Like To Tell You About That Time He Pooped His Pants
Not sure which spring training this video is from, but the video was just released to an unsuspecting public on Thursday, and is destined to go down as a classic; watch now as Royals Hall of Famer George Brett regales a teammate about the many times he's shit his pants. Seriously; Brett goes into gr...
The Josh Howard Question Veers Into Dark, Creepy Email Territory
We get our share of nutty email around these parts — oh, do we ever — but I'm fairly confident that it's nothing compared to what Mark Cuban finds each morning when he opens his laptop. When you're a billionaire and an NBA owner and the author of a popular blog, your inbox has to be chock full of ev...
Cowboys Love Them Wide Open Spaces
We mentioned this in morning blogdome, but felt that it needed to be expanded. See what I did there? Scientists estimate that sometime in the future, perhaps a hundred years from now, the typical human ass will be wider than a Subaru Outback. In Texas, they're already getting close. As workers begin...
Excerpt: "Boys Will Be Boys" By Jeff Pearlman
"Boys Will Be Boys", Jeff Pearlman's fascinating account of the glory days of the Cowboys dynasty is making the media rounds this week and we will happily join in to promote it. It is ridiculously entertaining. Yes, Charles Haley is the star, but there is so much more to it than just his dong-flappi...
Tyler Thigpen Will Guide The Chiefs To Victory Right After He Finishes Making Gentle Back Door Love To This Skeleton
What better way to kick off your Wednesday evening then to have Chiefs' new starting quarterback Tyler Thigpen mock rear-entering a skeletal model. Maybe Coastal Carolina University had just recently generated enough funding to support a human anatomy class and he was just overly excited. Remember, ...
Gilbert Arenas Had Knee Surgery (No, You Are Not Experiencing Deja Vu)
Let's play a little game called "What would I do?" First, imagine that you're Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin. Now assume that you had just given a six-year, $111 million contract — guaranteed money, by the way — to an athlete coming off of two knee surgeries only to find out that he now requir...
Syracuse Is Failing At Football...Statues
Syracuse recently unveiled a statue of famed running back Ernie Davis. Davis was the first black person to win the Heisman Trophy and starred at Syracuse in the early 1960's. In addition to winning the Heisman Trophy, he was the overall number one pick in the 1962 NFL Draft. But he never played in ...
Juuust A Bit Outside ...
The art of skydiving into sports stadiums is really slipping; I remember in the old days when things like this went off without a hitch. This happened at a minor league baseball game as a skydiver was attempting to deliver a ball for the ceremonial first pitch. Not sure where this is, but the voi...
Mark Cuban Wants You to Know: "Cellphone Cameras Are Not Your Friends."
Cuban went after defenseless cellphone cameras in the wake of Josh Howard's performance during the National Anthem before Allen Iverson's flag-football game. By the way, how is Allen Iverson's flag-football game not televised and how are all the players not mic'ed up? Couldn't this be a television ...
