Bengals Love A Rainy Night
We're not sure when the Bengals defense suddenly got all uppity, but jeez, that could be an entirely different team all of a sudden. In the Bengals' 13-7 win over the Ravens last night, the Cincy defense almost threw another shutout, their second in a row, and staved off the Ravens' attempt to cli...
Bengals Receivers Takes Their Antics To Basic Cable
We promise to someday stop bitching about this — probably when the season ends — but once again, we, as Time Warner Cable subscribers, will not be able to watch tonight's Bengals-Ravens game, because it's on the NFL Network, and even though we somehow get the Al Gore slacker news channel, we don't g...

Ten Moments That Will Make You Cry
Just to be cruel to our delicate sensibilities, the fine folks at Chowdaheads have compiled the 10 most gruesome broken arms and legs in sports history.

We're Number One!
By now you've probably heard that Ohio State was ranked first in the nation in basketball by USA Today/ESPN this morning, which along with its top football ranking, gives the Buckeyes the No. 1 spot in both major sports during the same week for the first time in school history.

The Snow Is Finally Here, And The Playoffs Aren't Far Behind

Screw Thanksgiving: We know the holidays are really upon us when it's snowing real hard and people are falling over...
Your Last Night Of MNF Brett Favre Backrubbing
Of all the tired Brett Favre storylines out there, our least favorite is the "He's playing against Mike Holmgren again!" theme.
