Refreshingly Free Of Jim Nantz, It's Puppy Bowl III
Puppy Bowl III has been going strong for over an hour now... these little guys just don't get tired. Well, one of them did... he decided to just lay down at the 50-yard-line for a while. One of the bigger, meaner dogs with lower self-esteem called an immediate press conference and accused the other ...

The Bull Dance Was A Nice Touch
I've purposely avoided most of the Super Bowl hype throughout the week... I haven't watched any preview shows, no NFL Matchup type shows, not even SportsCenter. I didn't want to get burned out and head into today's game wishing it was already over....

Let's Not Forget What Today's All About
I know today is a day to party and have fun and forget about life's troubles for a few hours, but don't forget to take a few seconds to remember what really matters: deceased horses who once hung from the ceiling while wearing royal blue blindfolds and all sorts of turquoise S&M gear....

About Last Night...
• NBA: Lakers 118, Wizards 102. Kobe wanted revenge ... Kobe got revenge. • College Basketball: BYU 90, (25) UNLV 63. And today, God smiles. • NBA: Knicks 94, Magic 86. The game's leading scorers: Eddy Curry and Darko Milicic. They grow up so fast....

This Means It's About Time For Super Bowl Week To End
While I'm trying to truly appreciate my favorite spam e-mail subject line of all-time — "Experience the outbreak of firmness in your pants with Viagra Soft Tabs" — here's something equally weird....

Daulerio at SBXLI: Yes, Somehow Freddie Mitchell Got Into the Maxim Party
Maxim's Superbowl Shitshow party was everything one could hope for and so much more. The Sagamore Hotel transformed itself into a beachfront paradise with celebrities and athletes, and, of course FredEx and his Godly hands cavorting about the joint. Freddie Mitchell was attached to Irishman Brady Qu...

Lil' Ronnie Throws Down the Gauntlet; Common and Kanye Answer
In what's shaping up to be the most vicious rap beef since 50 Cent tangled with Oprah, Common and Kanye West have ignored Lil' Ronnie's advice to "step off." No, they have stepped right the heck on, recording this little pro-Bears ditty, "Southside Superbowl."...

About Last Night...
• NBA: Clippers 100, Celtics 89. Fourteenth straight loss for Boston, setting a new franchise record. Sometimes, I feel like Danny Ainge and Isiah Thomas are the same person. • College Basketball: Yale 43, Princeton 35. You know what, shot clock? You can just so straight to hell. • Track and Field: ...

This Is Probably Not A Good Idea, But ...
So you know the Super Bowl? Big game, Bears-Colts, this Sunday, Billy Joel's gonna be there? Yeah, that one. Well, in a move we'll probably end up regretting, we have accepted an invitation to do the live blog of the game for CBS Sportsline. We decided to do this because the Super Bowl is on CBS, an...

Super Bowl Pants Party: Bears Vs. Colts
You know, this football season has been so much fun that we really are sad to see it end. But, alas, it has to, and there's an actual game Sunday, if you can believe it. Will we have another year of mocking Peyton Manning for choking? Because we'd almost be sad if we couldn't do that anymore. Awfull...

Negro Bowl I: History Is History
As you might have heard from a media outlet or two, this is a historic Super Bowl because it features two African American head coaches for the first time....

Lil Ronnie Is Back, So STEP OFF, PUNK!
The Colts have rolled out an October Surprise, and it's a big one; raise the roof, people, for the return of Lil Ronnie! Or as he is now known on the south side of Naptown, "RonD." The then phat rappin' 12-year-old Swayzed from the scene after last winter's monster hit Super Bowl Bound, which told o...

Another Reason To Host A Super Bowl Party
Thousands of businesses count Super Bowl week as one of their busiest, most successful of the year — including us, frankly — the time when they bring in enough consumers to make up for other times of the year....

About Last Night ...

Test Those Dudes For Steroids, Stat
Lest we find ourselves too caught up in the rigmarole of yet another Bowl of Super, we remind you of the true highlight of any Super Bowl Sunday ... The Puppy Bowl!...

Prepare Thyself For Dice K
Red Sox fans, take heart: You can now see Dice K himself, Daisuke Matsuzaka, pitching in a Red Sox uniform, kind of. In this ad for Asahi beer — we love that people can physically drink the beer in Japanese commercials — Dice K dons the duds and even throws a pitch, albeit with some less-than-convin...

What This Means For Us: The Indianapolis Colts
Way back in August, we asked various writers to preview their favorite NFL teams as the season approached. (We think the most famous was James Frey's "preview" of the Cleveland Browns.)...
