It's The AFC North Pants Party
Three fascinating teams in the AFC North ... and then the one that has Brady Quinn. What's not to like?...
It's The AFC East Pants Party
OK, it appears we are finally back. Boy, it's been a fun day to work for Gawker Media; it was extremely enjoyable to have people tell us what was happening on our site, since we couldn't see it and couldn't update it. Awesome. Anyway, to the AFC! Hard to imagine anyone other than the ole' Patriots...
It's The NFC South Pants Party
To the NFC South! We don't want to speak out of turn here, but we think the NFC South might be our least favorite division in football. There's the Saints — that's Kenny Chesney in that picture, of course — and then ... ugh....
A Kindly Plea For Tiki Barber To Shut The Hell Up
Tiki Barber, from all accounts, seems like a rather charming fellow. He's handsome, smart and obviously talented and comfortable in front of a camera; you don't just fall into a spot alongside Matt Lauer by stuttering and stammering. (This is why CBS went with Katie Couric rather than Eric Dickerson...
Imagine Being The Guy In The Plunger Costume
In lieu of some sound effects humor over at EDSBS, we present you with a rather gorgeous example of spot photography....
Jeff Reed Loves His Peeps

Our Server Is Not A Sentient Being
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
Three Days Later, The Upset Still Stuns
As much as we enjoyed the link to all the other Big Ten teams celebrating Michigan's loss, and as happy as we are for Appalachian State — some of whose fans actually saw this coming — we still have to focus on those Michigan fans, who saw their entire season (and perhaps so much more) evaporate in a...
And, At Last, It Begins (Kind Of)
As much as we look forward to the beginning of college football season, it still takes us by surprise when it actually begins: It's actually kicking off tonight. In the spotlight game, it's Louisiana State, ranked No. 2 by just about everybody, travels to Mississippi State. The LSU fans are excited...
Former OSU President Glad To Be Out Of That Sodom
We've made a lot of jokes about Ohio State here — most of them have been made for us — but we've never considered their fans rampaging monsters bent on destruction. Of course, we've never been president of the university....
I Can Haz Maps Of The Iraq, And Such As ... ?
We've had some fun at the expense of our friend Lauren Caitlin Upton, the Miss Teen South Carolina who mangled a beauty pageant question so completely on Friday that the entire world is talking about it. Such as. But now it seems some real good has come of all this. A new web site has launched, Maps...
Eli Manning Makes 'Em Laugh
Roger Director, author of I Dream In Blue, a book about following the 2006 New York Giants that is released today, was at the Jets-Giants preseason game over the weekend and filed the following report. Kind of...
Dickey Simpkins Wants You To Be A Good Father
This was on The Basketball Jones a few days ago, but we're just coming around to it. It's an inspirational video about parenthood, not from Travis Henry but Dickey Simpkins....
Jeff Burton, Brought To You By The Color Orange
In a world where race cars are stamped with as many corporate sponsors that will fit on the sheet metal, it's really weird to see a car with no logo on the hood or sides. Seriously, it looks like Jeff Burton (#31) is driving an oversized Hot Wheels car in this Getty photo. There's a (logical?) reas...
NFL Season Preview: Pittsburgh Steelers
Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it....
Those 30-Run Rallies Will Kill You Every Time
Little did you know that when you watched Maracaibo, Venezuela beat the Netherlands, 21-2 in the Little League World Series on Tuesday, that it wouldn't be the most embarrassing wipeout of week. Meet your 2007 Baltimore Orioles, who lost 30-3 to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. For Texas, it was the...
