The Celtics Fan Suicide Watch
So the Celtics have lost 18 in a row, and if they don't sneak out a win at home Wednesday against the Bucks, a West Coast road trip might very well inspire them to break the record for all-time losing streaks. We thought we'd check in and see how the Celtics blogs are holding up....

The Underrated Legs Of Rex Grossman
The good people at SomethingAwful threw together some inspired Super Bowl photoshop work. And because it's excellent and because I'm having a difficult time letting go of football, I cobbled together a few of my favorite into the above image... I hope they don't mind....
I Guess Sean Taylor Doesn't Watch A Lot Of Pro Bowls
I thought that sort of thing was illegal in Pro Bowls. Defenses aren't allowed to blitz, there are fines for things like running fast, blocking, trying hard, or expressing a desire to compete. I guess Sean Taylor didn't get the memo... he went after Brian Moorman like Moorman stole his ATV....

• College Basketball: Gonzaga 60, Sant Mary's 49. You're gonna be doin' a lot of doobie-rollin' when you're livin' in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER. • NFL: Pro Bowl. AFC 31, NFC 28. See? Nate Kaeding is clutch. • College Basketball: (1) Florida 64, (18) Kentucky 61. The Wildcats were 3-for-22 from three-p...
Today Is Hawaiian Shirt Day
The Pro Bowl will be kicking off any minute now, and I can't wait for this dazzling affair. Conference supremacy and pride are on the line, and that's fantstic. But really, today's about sportsmanship and togetherness, because no matter what happens at the game, everyone's getting a free lei. And I ...
Wade Phillips Made a Hot Daughter
The Cowboys' hiring of Wade Phillips as their new head coach drew an underwhelming response from the general public. Reactions ranged from yawns to "What the?!" to "At least it's not Norv Turner." There was a distinct lack of enthusiasm or glee....

Tony Romo Gets Back On The Horse
So it's bad enough that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo still plans on being at the Pro Bowl this weekend, after that rather unfortunate misstep that ended Bill Parcells' coaching career and brought shame upon the great Eastern Illinois University. But guess what? They're actually gonna ask him to hol...
When Will The Media Elite Stop Tearing Down Our White Heroes?
Every debate needs comic relief, and God bless him, Rush Limbaugh is always good for that. The former director of promotions for the Kansas City Royals in the early 1980s, and at one time the word's fifth-leading importer of OxyContin (behind Brazil), Limbaugh has become in recent years obsessed wit...
It Appears That Mike Tyson Might Need Some Help Or Something
This is going to come as a shock to most of you — it certainly came as a shock to us — but former heavyweight champion and all-around beacon of stability Mike Tyson has never been in rehab before. Seriously: With all the madness that has gone on with Tyson throughout his life, he's never been to reh...

What you missed while driving hell-bent-for-leather while wielding a mallet and wearing diapers ... • Soccer: Mexico still hasn't scored a goal on U.S. soil since 2000. We're not sure why that's significant. • College basketball: People wearing blue defeated by those people in a slightly lighter sha...
Prepare For The Pink Taco In '08
It's never too early, friends: Time to get your thinking caps on about Super Bowl XLII! That's right, next year's Super Bowl — which we will not be glogging — will be at the Buzzsaw Pink Taco Stadium, and they've already come up with the logo. It's not quite Olympic-level Nightmare Fuel — he looks l...
Hey, Why Is Kenny Chesney Suddenly Calling Me?
In our original neck of the woods in Mattoon, Ill., NFL loyalties are rather split. Some people root for the Chicago Bears (four hours away), some root for the Indianapolis Colts (90 minutes away) and some odd souls hopped on the Rams bandwagon (two hours away). (Some insane people stuck with the fo...
Deconstructing Puppy Bowl III
Normally we would say that we take a back seat to no one when it comes to Puppy Bowl coverage; we love puppies, and even watched a few moments of the Bissell Kitty Halftime Show on Sunday. But we didn't count on Planet Haystack, whose coverage of this event was, well, comprehensive, to say the least...
