The PLAYOFF Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals
Of all the pictures taken during The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals' NFC West-clinching "win" over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, that one there is my favorite. It is somehow perfect that, when the Arizona Cardinals won their first division championship since 1975 (the year I was born!), the ...

Hey Steve, Have This Souvenir Cup!
The fans in Carolina are so polite. After sitting through an exciting Monday Night Football game and then being forced to do a lengthy SportsCenter wrap up, Steve Young was clearly too busy to run to the concession stand and get a tasty soda. So some helpful Panther backer decided to gently toss his...
Jeff Garcia Awaits Your Scrutiny In The Comments
I've been a fan of Jeff Garcia since his little 2006 playoff run with the Eagles and will continue to be one until he finally, mercifully retires. He's not the flashiest guy, wasn't blessed with a big arm, and is particularly unimposing when he's photographed in black and white with freckle-splashed...
Italian Goal Celebrations Getting More Disturbing By The Minute
Italian Serie B forward Cristiano Lucarelli is no stranger to controversy; he's a fan of Che Guevera, and has been criticized for his frequent two-fisted communist salute goal celebrations. But that's nothing compared to what you'll see in the video below. The only way to describe it, I suppose, is ...
This Must Be Some Sort Of Mistake
I see the words that have been hastily scrawled with Magic Marker on this sweat-soaked towel, but I'm not sure I understand what they mean. It seems to imply that the Cardinals are in fact the NFC West Division champions. The Arizona Cardinals? The football team? Whatever! (Let the record show that ...
Pacman Destroys A Listless De La Hoya
Manny Pacquiao completely dismantled Oscar de la Hoya from the opening bell until the match was halted after eight rounds of boxing in Las Vegas. There really isn't a whole lot to say, because Oscar simply did not show up for this fight. Pacman, the undisputed pound-for-pound champion of the world,...
Two Filthy Rich Men Are About to Beat the Hell Out of Each Other
Tonight marks the biggest night of the year for the sport of boxing, although the welterweight matchup between Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao is nothing more than a curious exhibition with tens of millions of dollars on the table. De la Hoya, who at this point in his career is more of an execut...

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...
Rudy Carpenter Still Having Trouble Behaving At Basketball Games
Folks may remember Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter and his preference for not-gay pink shirts. Well, it seems that going psycho at college basketball games isn't enough juice for Rudy, so he took his act on the road—and recently got himself ejected from the gym at a girl's high school baske...
Oh Tevez, What Are You Doing, Son?
Although he's actually from Argentina, Carlos Tevez was all on board with the slant-eye throw down on Wednesday, as we see here following one of his three goals vs. Blackburn. The gesture of course was made famous by Spanish teams at the Beijing Olymipcs, and the Manchester United star has said that...

Illegal Contact, Packers, 15 Yards And Automatic Loss Of Beer
It's two days later, and all of North Carolina is still in a lather over this Packers fan, who took exception to the Panthers' DeAngelo Williams tossing his touchdown footballs to Carolina fans in the front row of the end zone stands at Lambeau. This one was completed, but the next one was successfu...

They Called Him Sugarfoot: Carl Joseph, The One-Legged Wonder
Well, if this story doesn't inspire you, you're a rather hopeless cynic.

Tim McCarver Needs A New Broker

Vince Carter's Your Daddy
Vince Carter bitch slapped his former team, scoring 39 points, hitting a game-tying three at the buzzer, and reverse dunking in the Nets 129-127 OT win over Toronto.
