Failure To Launch
In these troubled times in which we live, we believe that it's good to feed the soul occasionally with some inspiring words from a true American. Such a man is Texas Longhorns fan and sometimes actor Matthew McConaughey. Let us never forget his fiery speech from last week, leading up to the Texas-Oh...
Get Thee To A Newsstand (Or SI.com, At Least)
Though we grew up thinking he was the the best sportswriter on the planet — and one of our favorite journalists anywhere — we'll confess souring somewhat on Sports Illustrated scribe Gary Smith in recent years. His writing was still top-notch, but it was beginning to become repetitive. He'd either w...
At Least He Didn't Biggie Size
So there are some new details about our new favorite assistant coach, the Lions' Joe Cullen, concerning his arrest for driving in the nude....
NFL Pants Party: NFC West
It's our division, the one our Buzzsaw was shipped to so they didn't have to travel to New Jersey, Texas and Pennsylvania every year. And we've (obviously) never won it. Someday ......
Cameron Family Just Pleased As Punch With Matt Leinart Right Now
So, it's no longer just small local papers reporting that Matt Leinart's sperm have been even busier than usual lately. It has now been confirmed, by none other than People magazine, and if you can't trust them, you can't trust anyone....
Matt Leinart Has Himself Some Swimmers
This is Matt Leinart. He is a rookie quarterback for The Buzzsaw That Is Arizona Cardinals, though he is perhaps better known for his career at the University of Southern California, where he won a Heisman trophy and 1.5 national championships....
The 49ers Should Probably Just Quit
The Football Outsiders have finished up their position-by-position rankings over at Fox Sports, and arranged the Top 5 and Bottom 5 in each category in one convenient location....
NFL Season Preview: Seattle Seahawks
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people paintin...
Google Video, Jose Canseco And You
We're not sure how we'd react if attacked by a leopard; probably curl up like an armadillo and roll toward the nearest large body of water. But we would hope that it would be a manly, dignified roll. We wouldn't want to go out squealing like a Girl Scout, as you can hear in this video. The reason we...
That Confused Guy You See, That's Matt Doherty
Anybody wondering what former North Carolina men's basketball coach Matt Doherty has been up to? Anyone? Well, you might know he's coaching at SMU (and apparently already dealing with some NCAA violations). But did you know he was also embracing "new" "technology?"...
Goodnight, Seattle, And Good Luck
It has been a while since a franchise actually up and moved: The most recent had the Expos heading to Washington, D.C., but that had been brewing for so long and had been handled so poorly that few in Montreal were particularly devastated to see them go. Therefore, it certainly warrants note that ...
Ichiro Continues To Lose It A Bit
Ichiro Suzuki has been acting more erratically the last few years, we've noticed, coinciding almost directly with the Mariners' struggles the last few years. But in an interview Monday, Ichiro might have lost it a little while discussing the team's difficulties....
Not To Say He's Fragile Or Anything ...
Baseball Prospectus famously likes to proclaim that There Is No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect; anything can happen to a young pitcher, from overuse to freak injury to lack of confidence to simple poor scouting. But it's one thing to not know if something bad is going to happen to a young pithc...
Ross Verba Is Once Again Employed
Ross Verba is an NFL offensive lineman. Well, he used to be, and then he wasn't, and now, I suppose he is again. Here's a quick list of things you should know about Ross Verba:...
Buzzsaw Asks Leinart To Tone It Down A Tad
You know, it's one thing to have only one playoff victory in 40 years, or to have a never hosted a playoff game in the nearly 20 years you've been in your new home....
Why Your Team Isn't Named "The Cute Cuddly Animals"
Where we grew up, in the humble burg of Mattoon, Illinois, there was a small town nearby called Fisher. The town was tiny, but large enough to have a piddly little high school. The nickname for the school's sports teams: The Fisher Bunnies. It was difficult to be too intimidated....
Stop Snooping Into Matt Leinart's Life
Ah, Matt, Matt, Matt. What ever are we going to do with you? We know that life as a member of the Buzzsaw seems scary right now, that it feels like it's your last summer before you have to go back to boarding school .... but seriously, now....
The Ballad Of The Bored SI Staffer
We know it goes. You've worked a late night, and your editor — who told this job had all kinds of writing possibilities, that it was Sports Illustrated, before you realized the job was just writing taglines and editing Jenn Sterger's copy — is on your case to do one last photo gallery. You're bleary...
The Portrait Of Jamie Moyer
We're hardly big boosters of team public relations people in general, but we will say that we have enjoyed the promotional spots produced by the Seattle Mariners to re-energize fans on the flagging team. Highlights include various people doing Ichiro's bat-point thing out in their every day life, pl...
Matt Leinart Wasting Opportunities Already
ESPN.com has gotten Matt Leinart to document his draft process with a "Draft Diary," detailing his experiences in the days leading up to the NFL Draft....
