Dennis Dixon Has Balls of Uranium
So it's official, Dennis Dixon tore his ACL ... two weeks ago. So that first quarter touchdown run on Thursday night just went from awesome to unbefuckinglievable....
Everybody Keep Piling On Notre Dame!
As we come to the final death spasms of the glory/hideousness of the Notre Dame season, we stop to do a brief dance on the Irish grave. How bad has it become? Freaking Duke thinks it has a chance to win in South Bend this weekend....
The Last Chapter Of The Aubrey Huff Saga
Just to wrap up this whole Aubrey Huff and naked people business (NSFW), here's one last shot, of everybody's favorite porny Oriole, with the charming Melissa Midwest (also NSFW). Godspeed, Mr. Huff: We bet now, even you can find some place to party in Baltimore after 9 p.m....
Not A Good Night To Be A Duck
With everything else going on and dominating those sports pages of ours, it almost passed notice that the BCS race imploded again last night with Oregon's loss to Arizona. It also obliterated Dennis Dixon's Heisman chances; he's not likely to play the rest of the season. All told, a rather eventful ...
After All That, Some Disappointing A-Rod Normalcy
Say what you will about Barry Bonds, but we certainly owe him one favor: For 20 hours or so, he made everybody stop talking about Alex Rodriguez. We are sure Scott Boras is appreciative....
Bonds Blogdome
What they're saying about Barry Bonds' federal indictment on perjury charges ......
It Was Never About Barry, And Of Course It Always Was
The key point to remember in the Barry Bonds indictment that went down yesterday afternoon is that we really don't have any new information. Whatever your thoughts on Bonds, it's clear that the government is out to get him. You might think he deserves it. He probably does. But there is no smoking gu...
Barry Bonds, Consider Yourself Indicted
Well, just when you thought it was safe to bid on a guy who injected cattle steroids: Barry Bonds has been indicted by the BALCO grand jury....
Sign Here, So That We Might Own You
SI's Seth Davis, whom we always enjoy, brings up a point we've been wondering about for a while: Why in the world would anyone in the real world sign one of those letters of intent they make new college basketball recruits sign....
MNF Used To Keep Prisoners In Line. Really.
When "Monday Night Football" made its move from ABC to ESPN two years ago, we argued that it wasn't really a big deal at all; the notion of cable as "pay TV," something that few can watch, seemed archaic. Jeez, who doesn't have cable anymore? Well, here's something we hadn't considered: Prisons....
It's Almost Like A-Rod Never Left
So, after all that, after the World Series "breaking news," after Scott Boras' posturing, after it all ... A-Rod's probably gonna end up a Yankee after all. A-Rod is apparently getting his publicity advice from Kobe these days....
Hmm, Who Would Win A Fight Between Herschel And Spurrier?
There's not much more ironically amusing than Steve Spurrier lecturing someone else on sportsmanship, but he's been going after Georgia recently for their big touchdown-pile-on a few weeks ago. He said he'd have sent in a third-string Gamecock to start a fight, therefore getting a bunch of Bulldogs ...
The Buckeyes And Wolverines Are Still Playing This Weekend
This year's Ohio State-Michigan game, thanks to Illinois' win last week (woo!) and the lack of a legendary coach dying right beforehand, doesn't quite have the inherent drama of last year's. But it's still freaking Ohio State-Michigan....
Aubrey Huff Admires "Works Of Art"
Yesterday, we told you about Aubrey Huff's appearance on "Bubba The Love Sponge." He played it off as just "kidding around," playing a role on a radio show. That would be one way to put it....
Sure, Sure, A-Rod Totally Wants To Be A Yankee Again
So, after all this, after the whole stupid thing ... it's becoming apparent that Alex Rodriguez might end up crawling back to the Yankees after all. And without Scott Boras....
David Wright Has A Head Wound
We don't have the slightest idea what the heck David Wright was doing wearing his ninja hat on SNY last night ... but heavens, man, that kid's gone plum crazy. UPDATE: Turns out, this was in honor of cancer patients. Yes. Ahem. Well then. We're dicks.)...
This Tattoo Should Cause No Problems Whatsoever
Know how I know your team is gay? It's, um, tattooed right on your arm there. Let this be a lesson to you kids: Beer, Aussie Rules football and Thai tattoo parlors generally don't mix. That's always been my motto, anyway....
Everyone Opens Up To Bubba The Love Sponge
Orioles Professional Hitter Aubrey Huff wouldn't seem like the type of guy who would let himself cut loose and act crazy on the radio, but hey, take a bat out of a man's hands, and he's liable to do some crazy things....
