Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason stirred some shit on his daily radio show this morning when he claimed that the Jets asked the NFL to sweep the visiting locker room for bugs before their Oct. 25 away game against the Patriots.

Carlos Boozer Finally Explains His Sprayed-On Hair
Carlos Boozer has had a long and successful NBA career, but if there’s one thing he’s always going to be remembered for, it’s the night he played in a nationally televised game with what looked like an entire can of shoe polish smeared all over his dome. On yesterday’s episode of Highly Questionable...
It's Fall, So Invest In A Good Pair Of Boots
Buying a good pair of boots is kinda like buying a car. You want to find something that looks good, gets good mileage, and will last.

Long before Reddit’s baddest boyz started taking pictures of “shower beer” balanced precariously atop their guts, the true freedom fighters of the 1920s battled Prohi...

All Hell Breaks Loose In Mass Brawl During USA-Mexico Game
Normally, stadium fight videos involve long scenes of exposition and short, not very satisfying bursts of action. This, however, is like a Tati movie (only it’s actually entertaining): hardly any dialogue and so many concurrent battles that you hardly know where to look....
John Seabrook's Pop-Music Treatise <i>The Song Machine </i>Is Half Wrong, Half Boring
Don’t bore us, get to the chorus: John Seabrook’s The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory (Norton) is one of the most frustrating music books in memory.

So, 3-On-3 Overtime Is Pretty Fun, Huh?
Along with coach’s challenges, the most noticeable new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the debut of 3-on-3 overtimes meant to decrease the number of games that go to a shootout.

Roy Hibbert And Trevor Booker Had A "Fight"
Roy Hibbert is a giant doofus whose sole marketable skill is his ability to raise his arms above his head without falling over. Inconceivably, this once made him the greatest threat to LeBron James’s championship aspirations, but nowadays he is a great big sad hat stand with six fouls to give, and s...
The Elmore Leonard Starter Kit
One of the coolest things about Elmore Leonard’s crime fiction is that he didn’t get to it until he was close to 50 years old and had been a professional writer for more than 20. His books pared away anything unnecessary with the ruthless good cheer of a steely veteran with little patience for wasti...
