Please Ignore The Shirtless Gyrating Man
Over at The Fanhouse, The Mighty MJD posted this video of a Seton Hall fan — we think that's Seton Hall — coming up with an inventive and terrifying way to distract a free throw shooter. We think after seeing this, we'd just try to avoid being fouled all together....
Nick Swisher Likes To Keep Current On His Periodicals
Oakland A's pitcher outfielder Nick Swisher just doesn't have the time to scour bars for leather-clad women in search of a relationship. So he does his shopping by magazine. According to Sports by Brooks, Swisher spied model Danielle Gamba "in a magazine" recently, saw that she was from the Bay Area...
Inside The Awful Illini Car Accident
As most of you have heard by now, two Illinois basketball players — center Brian Carlwell and shooting guard Jamar Smith — were injured in a car accident last night in Champaign. Smith suffered a concussion, but Carlwell is currently listed in critical condition at Carle Foundation Hospital, a hospi...
And THAT'S What Carlos Zambrano Thinks
If you are fortunate enough to root for a team that has an intense rivalry, you probably have someone on the opposing team you raise your level of hate for. Red Sox fans have it for Jeter and A-Rod; Patriots fans have it for Peyton Manning; Raiders fans have it for the rest of humanity. As a Cardina...

Why West Virginia Is So Good At Home
Just to make sure we end your day on as lowbrow a point as we can possibly muster, here's the reason UCLA lost to West Virginia on Saturday. This guy. Let this be a lesson for all of you: Do not come into this guy's house and expect to escape alive....
What Kind Of Bet Would The Pink Taco Make?
When mayors make their yearly dopey bets on certain sports series — "If the Colts win, you'll give us your deep dish pizza, and if your Bears win, we'll give you some dreary dead-end manufacturing jobs!" — it's silly, but kind of cute, in a "white people in suits trading beans" type of way. But when...
Welcome To Las Vegas, NBA Stars! Enjoy!
We are just a wee few days away from the NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas, or, as we like to call it, "Caligula." The city of Las Vegas is all geared up, and while there's still plenty of talk about whether or not this means there will ultimately be a team in Vegas, we prefer to stick to the point:...
Can They Hold An NCAA Tournament Without Duke?
Much discussion today about a potentially big fun NCAA Tournament question: Is it possible that Duke could miss the field of 65? The Blue Devils have lost four in a row and have a ton of road games coming up. It still seems rather unlikely, but the real question is whether we should legitimately be ...
Mark Cuban's Queer Eye For The NBA Guy
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is of the opinion that, if there is a gay player out there on a current NBA roster, he should come out, because he would be totally rich and respected if he did. Because that's just the way it happens in the real world, right? You announce that you're gay, and they ...

There are certain things you should probably expect from a guy who would wear this. One of those might involve trying to punch a cheerleader....
Nothing Says Valentine's Day Like Six-Foot Tall Spiced Meat
If you can't figure out what to get your significant other for this upcoming Valentine's Day — and you happen to live "within a 45 mile radius from Miller Park" and have V-Day between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Central Time open — you could give the gift that keeps on giving: Sausages....

Agent Zero Fails To Back It Up
Gilbert Arenas had vowed to get 50 points against the Blazers today, in his continuing revenge tour against the coaching staff of the US Olympic basketball team. Blazers head man Nate McMillan was one of those coaches. Gilbert even implored ESPN to pick up the game to witness his spiteful heroics. H...
You Must Limber Up Before Cheering On The Flying Dutchmen
If this were happening at a powerhouse Division 1 school, it would be annoying. Since it's the Flying Dutchmen (and that might not be a misnomer, they might all actually be Dutch) of Division III Hope College, however ... I find it adorable....
College Hoops Compendium: Score One For Antagonism
• West Virginia 70, (2) UCLA 65. Country fuckin' Rooooads... Take me the fuck home... Sorry. That t-shirt inspires me. Arron Afflalo's 27 weren't enough to help UCLA get the win, but when they're on the road, it seems like nothing is good enough to help them win. All three of their losses are of the...

Felony Shroomin' With The Bulldogs
If Gonzaga Bulldogs Josh Heytvelt and Theo Davis are playing basketball today, they're playing not for position in the WCC standings, but for cigarettes and the protection of their anal cavities. They're in jail right now, or at least they were as of a few hours ago, because police say they found ma...
Wade Phillips Made a Hot Daughter
The Cowboys' hiring of Wade Phillips as their new head coach drew an underwhelming response from the general public. Reactions ranged from yawns to "What the?!" to "At least it's not Norv Turner." There was a distinct lack of enthusiasm or glee....
