The winner gets to move on to play an important bowl game ... in the SAME FOOTBAL...
Tuesday Night Live Blog: Western Michigan at #15 Ball State
Please accept the harmonious balance of David Letterman and Tim Allen's alma maters, respectively, to infiltrate your Tuesday night plans. The undefeated Ball State Cardinals welcome the 9-2 WMU Broncos, and the winner is in the MAC Championship game. Fun fact: It's not illegal to shout "jump" in a ...
Dissing Randy Moss, 68-Yard Field Goal Attempt, And NFL In 3D?
• Al Davis As You've Never Seen Him Before. Just when you thought you could barely stand these teams in two dimensions, the NFL has announced that the Dec. 4 game between the Chargers and Raiders will be broadcast live in 3D to theaters in Los Angeles, New York and Boston. The three screenings — for...
Wednesday Night Live Blog: #17 Ball State at Central Michigan
Ahhh. Mid-American Conference football. You were born a fan, it's just that nobody told you until tonight. The undefeated Ball State Cardinals flutter into Mount Pleasant to tangle with some fired up Chips. Winner probably wins the MAC West Division, a fact which you already knew. Also something you...
This Is Not A Place Either Of Us Want To Be, And For That I Am Sorry
Daulerio asked me to describe my experience at the Rick's Cabaret on Monday night. This is probably the best I can do. Strip clubs are not about decadence, or fantasy, or even commerce. They are, at their core, about interaction. The dance is not delicate, or disguised. This is not a place where som...
Time To Party With The 49ers And Cardinals
Only a couple of hours or so until Leitch's Arizona Buzzsaw square off against my San Francisco Forty-Niners, and the big question remains: Who will be the first tonight to remove his pants inappropriately, Matt Leinart or Mike Singletary? Judging from the photo, Matt gets the presumptive nod, espec...
Stanford Lineman Does Not Like Notre Dame
About the only thing that would make Saturday's Stanford-Notre Dame football game actually compelling is if Charlie Weis and the Stanford Tree fought at midfield with rakes and blowtorches. But knowing that would never happen (the Tree is usually soaked with alcohol and cannot be near open flame), C...
Hunter Cant(Throw)Well Serves Up Pick-Six, Cards Mucked Again
After their 26-21 loss to Big East rival UConn, the Louisville Cardinals' short run as a nationally prominent football program seems to be winding down. First-year starting quarterback Hunter Cantwell threw a pick-six in the last three minutes of their game last night, snatching defeat from the prov...
Why Your Team Won't Make The Playoffs: National League
East. • 1. New York Mets. Record: 81-63. Magic number: 16. Why they're doomed: Bullpen woes; chiefly Billy Wagner, who is currently planning a comeback in time to play in the 2012 Olympics. Upcoming: They don't play the Phillies again. So there's that. Ray of hope: Carlos Delgado has four multihomer...
Does The Governor's Cup Also Contain The Governor's Jewels?
Louisville and Kentucky deserve credit today for saving us from the Sunday blahs by actually scheduling their game one full week before the bulk of the NFL slate gets underway (3:30, ESPN). No, it's not basketball, but it's a fun in-state rivalry, matching up teams that have recently been competitiv...
NFL Season Preview: Arizona Cardinals
We're less than two weeks away from the start of the NFL season, so it's time to start the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. Today: The Buzzsaw Tha...
Are You Not Entertained? Stanford Offers Money-Back Guarantee On Football Tickets
The problem: Stanford has a newly-refurbished $100 million football stadium, but can't seem to fill it. Solution: Money-back guarantee on tickets! "Yes, we'd be idiots NOT to try it!" Apparently the organic hot dogs on whole wheat buns weren't enough, so the Cardinal are offering to give a full refu...
Matt Leinart Just Can't Figure This NFL Quarterback Thing Out Quite Yet
One of the most amusing parts of the whole "Costas Now" fiasco was when Cleveland Browns' wideout Braylon Edwards took the time to chime in (briefly) about his "take on blogs" and used the Matt Leinart post with Leitch's headline "Matt Leinart Is Taking His Offseason Film Work Quite Seriously" as hi...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Matt Leinart
One particular joy this NFL offseason is to flip through the preseason guides and note all the references to the above Matt Leinart photo. Inevitably, it'll read something like, "Leinart had an offseason that pleased the ladies and the blogs more than it pleased the Cardinals coaching staff." I sti...
You Will Never Think Of The Drew Brothers The Same Way Again
I've heard of Star Trek slash fiction, and Starsky & Hutch ... even Harry Potter. But baseball's Drew brothers? Why, Jesus? No, I don't have all the answers. But I would like to point out that the author at Live Journal is not twisted and sick, as one might expect. He's just a misunderstood artist t...
Jim Edmonds Jogs La Russa's Memory
Cubs outfielder Jim Edmonds has gotten past the drama of being traded from the Cardinals in the offseason. Or maybe not. After refusing to discuss his former manager, Tony La Russa, with the media, Edmonds proceeded to go two for four, both hits going yard in a 3-2 win over his ex-team. The game str...
Unfortunately, Being An Unrepentant Moron Is Not A Crime
Last week, there was a horrible story about two female St. Louis Cardinals' fans who were struck by a car while crossing the street on the way home from the Cards-Phillies series at Citizens Bank Park. One of the women died due to her injuries....
On Vincent Gallo, Black Gallagher And Rotten.com Videos
This video has been online for about a year now, but I just saw it for the first time today. It's brutal, punishing and so uncalled for that it should come with a Tipper Gore warning. It's from 2001, when my immortal beloved Rick Ankiel was still struggling with his "control" and some minor leagu...
Windy City Teams On Verge Of Trading Sweeps; Kerry Wood Not Pleased
Despite getting the catchy nickname of "One of the most consistent hitters in the game" by teammate Matt Murton, Aramis Ramirez failed to take advantage of a lead-off double in the 9th by Derrek Lee. With one out and Lee on third, Bobby Jenks forced the Cubbie into grounding out weakly to short when...
Brook Lopez: 'I'm Going To Be Like Brady Quinn'
Brook Lopez, one half of the approximately 14 feet that is the Lopez twins, was considered the more-talented basketball brother at Stanford University this past season. Although possibly not the more mature. Witness his wit and wisdom during the NBA Draft, including the highly quotable: "This is so ...
