Crowning Our Pants Party Winner
Well, the bowls are finally, FINALLY over, and, as much as the bowl system might be ridiculous and a relic of a time when everybody gathered around the fireplace and listened to the games on their 100-pound radios, we must confess that they were more entertaining than we had anticipated. We could wa...
Let's Go To The Studio, Where It's Jimmy With Keggy And The Gang
Considering that FOX has barely showed any college football this year and therefore has no established halftime "in the studio" team, we were curious how they would handle last night, which after all was the supposed biggest game of the year. We admire their conclusion: They just picked two retired ...
Scott Weiland Gets His Lee Corso On
If you're not up on your aging "psychedelic" hair metal band sports trivia, former Stone Temple Pilots and current Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland is an inexplicable fan of Notre Dame football. (We guess his dad went there; amazingly, Weiland didn't make the trip.) This morning, Weiland relea...
Should Belichick Be Punished For His Limp Shove?
As far as we can tell, Michael David Smith of The Fanhouse was the first to make an issue out of this — we even laughed it off ourselves — but a couple days later, more people are asking: Shouldn't we be a little more pissed at Patriots coach bill Belichick for just shoving that cameraman out of the...

It's The Mythical Sort Of Kinda A Little Bit Of A National Title Game
Well, jeez, it's finally time: The endless math problem that is the college football season at last ends tonight, in the Tostitos BCS Championship Game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Florida Gators.

Many People Taking Photos Of Two Men Hugging
We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after...

- We're about to start the 4th with the Jets down 10. It could still happen for them, but they need to get something going quickly. Come on, Chad, let's make this one close....
Jets vs. Patriots: 3rd Quarter
- The third quarter's just gotten underway. Shawne Merriman was interviewed by satellite at halftime, and he was either wearing a tank top, a unitard, or a pair of suspenders with no shirt. It's an unusual look, and not one that many people can pull off. Shawne Merriman included....
Jets vs. Patriots: 2nd Quarter
