Obviously, The Breasts Are Sold Separately
As has been pointed out by Fark and a few other places, it appears that the famous dress worn by Jose Lima's somewhat heavily busomed wife when he sang the national anthem a few years ago — she was actually cropped out of accompanying photo by MLB.com, but we bring her back because we are all abou...

You're Seeing A Lot Less College Football Than You Used To
If you're not familiar with it — or just have better things to do than keep an eye on arcane NCAA offseason rule changes — you might not have been aware until Saturday about Rule 3-2-5e, which was imposed on the NCAA by television stations because the games were running too long....
Minor Enterprise: Here's To You, Folks
Welcome to this season's final edition of Minor Enterprise. The minor league baseball landscape is rather desolate now; the bats have been packed, the bases locked away, the water bottles collected and washed. And we have to tell you, it was a hell of a time finding all that stuff from where Joe Mik...
"This Is The Parts Where They Say Who They Thinks Gonna Win"
In his nightmares, this is what Chris Fowler imagines every viewer of College GameDay is like....
Who Can Make A Difference? Parents Like You
One just never knows what mayhem will erupt when the Redskins meet the Bears. Anything can happen ... um, did we mention that these Redskins and Bears are 12 years old? Proving that the ghost of Woody Hayes does indeed roam the earth looking for bodies to possess, an assistant youth football coach i...
That's How You Take A Charge
We just realized that we haven't told your our thoughts on the weekend of college football that just (finally) ended. Well, we're happy the Illini won, though they're gonna get killed at Rutgers. We think Brady Quinn remains dreamy. And, mostly, we think it was an extremely dangerous weekend to be o...
One Hundred Years Ago, The Blatantly Obvious Was Born
We'd like to say happy birthday to the reason that Jeff George was allowed to inspire a mullet/mustache combo trend that changed the world in which we live: the forward pass turns 100 years old today....

The Old 'Potato Into Left Field' Trick
I think this might be the coolest thing that's happened in baseball history. I'm snickering even as I type this. Dave Bresnahan was a backup catcher for the AA Williamsport Bills, and had a hunch that he was about to be cut. He also had an idea that he could get a baserunner out with the use of a pe...
Sunday Night Football Will At Least Seem Dramatic
Ain't It Cool News has managed to get their hands on an .mp3 of the brand new theme song for Sunday Night Football. They opted against something Hank Williams-esque (or even Pink-esque) and went for the big guns: John Williams....

Taking Down The Goal Posts: Shhh, Lou Holtz
Notre Dame 14, Georgia Tech 10. It's never a pleasant experience when Notre Dame wins the marquee game of the week, but it was hard not to admire last night's effort. Georgia Tech played an excellent game, but the Irish defense held strong, Charlie Weis let his enormous testicles call the plays in k...
