How The Gruden Stole Christmas
So are we pretty much agreed that the Big Three in Christmas specials are The Grinch, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas? (Apologies to Will Leitch). Well, one of these will not be seen in the Tampa Bay area as scheduled on Monday, as ABC is pre-empting A Charlie Brown Chri...
Shatner's Short-Term Red Sox Memory, Sabathia And Manny Head Arbitration List, And Everyone Wants To Buy The Cubs
• He's Also Not Very Good At Fractions. Come with us now as William Shatner is tested for Alzheimer's on an episode of Boston Legal.

Video Coordinator, Deon Thompson and Some Other Tar Heels Player Act Heroically
Fine, it was Tyler Hansbrough. But, share the headlines, right? The details: this past Thanksgiving Day, while the North Carolina mens basketball team sat on a plane, anxious to flee annoyingly-utopic Maui for Chapel Hill, something went horribly wrong. The Love Guru began showing as the in-flight ...
NBA Superstars Are 1) Annoyed With Former Superstars, 2) Trapped in Elevators and 3) Very Good at Basketball
Remember on Thursday when Charles Barkley said Lebron James was alienating his teammates with all his talk of his impending free agency in 2010, and that he should "shut the hell up"? Well, you didn't think King James was going to take that lying down, did you? Heck no. On Friday, he fired back, BI...

The Legend Of Scotty Brooks
As you may be aware—if anyone can ever truly be "aware" of Oklahoma City basketball—the Thunder fired head coach P.J. Carlesimo on Friday, because frankly ... the beard has seen better days. More importantly, he has been replaced on an interim basis with a name I thought I might never hear again—Sco...

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap Oh, eventually you will stop, Brian Westbrook, yes you will. Baltimore's Althea Barnes makes the play, although where Westbrook's forward progress is marked is anyone's guess. Kind...
Browns' GM Phil Savage Responds To Email Hecklers Swiftly, But Not Very Politely (UPDATE)
As a person who gets tons of nasty email, I know it's tough to always show restraint and resist the urge to stick up for yourself. This practice is frowned upon, and not healthy, because, well, those emails could potentially come back to bite you in the ass. Plus, as a "professional" you're supposed...
Monday Night Football Fever Is Not All You'll Catch
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap With staph infections running rampant in the NFL these days, it's nice of random fans to warn us of potential hazards.

Monday Night Live Blog: Browns-Bills
Never before have so many Midwestern teams that aren't actually located in the Midwest been in one stadium at once!

It Happened: Brock Lesnar Is Your New UFC Heavyweight Champion
In only his fourth professional MMA fight, Brock Lesnar defeated UFC legend Randy Couture in a second round TKO. The severely undersized Couture held his own in the first round but got caught by a few nasty blows from Lesnar in the second and when you get caught by a guy of that size, it's over. The...
Yes We Ca ... Uh, No We Can't. Put Away The Glove, Brandon
As we mentioned this morning, one of the great end zone celebration gestures of all time was cruelly aborted last night when Brandon Marshall scored the winning touchdown in the Broncos' 34-30 triumph over the Browns in Cleveland. In the video below you'll hear Marshall explain how he reached into h...
Quinn's Debut Inspires A Nation, Browns Lose As Usual
With all the excitement over the big stimulus package that was the debut of Brady Quinn and the return of Kellen Winslow — turns out they're real, and they're fantastic — we all ignored the real issues: Jay Cutler and Brandon McDonald. The shy, self-effacing Broncos quarterback threw for 447 yards a...
We Have An Opening Bid In The Manny Auction
The Dodgers have an offer on the table to keep Manny Ramirez, but is it just for show? We'd know better if we knew what it was, but GM Ned Colleti isn't talking. Speculation is that it's "either two years for $50 million or three years for $75 million," according to the Los Angeles Times. That's les...
Drunken Redneck Browns Fan Ushers In Brady Quinn Era
These videos were taken last season, when this anonymous Browns fan — we'll call him Doyle, because he reminds me of the Dwight Yoakum stepfather character in Sling Blade — was quite comfortable with the way things were playing out in his world. But as Busted Coverage points out, now "there's a b...
Cleveland Browns Fans Can Finally Say That This Man Is Their Quarterback
This is a historic moment that should preempt any sports blog's standard nighttime activities. The Browns have made a bold step, which either means they are packing it up early this year or they are still hopeful that a new face behind center can inject some life into their staph-infected offense. B...

Dean Wormer Would Be Horrified
I suppose if one attends a conservative Christian school such as John Brown University in Arkansas, where students are required to sign a pledge that prohibits profanity, pornography, extramarital sex, tobacco, alcohol, gambling and even dancing, then activities like this are sure to be the result. ...
