Oprah, Thome And The Self-Cleaning Oven
It's pretty rare that the epic comedic trilogy of Oprah Winfrey, douching and White Sox slugger Jim Thome unite for a good ole middle-aged Midwesterner gigglefest ... but today is that day....

Please Ignore The Shirtless Gyrating Man
Over at The Fanhouse, The Mighty MJD posted this video of a Seton Hall fan — we think that's Seton Hall — coming up with an inventive and terrifying way to distract a free throw shooter. We think after seeing this, we'd just try to avoid being fouled all together....

Jeremy Piven Wants You To Watch The All-Star Game
You know, when you're trying to promote an All-Star game in Las Vegas, what better way to do than a commercial of Jeremy Piven looking up Vince Carter's shorts?...

Motorized Vehicles And Elastics: A Match Made In Heaven
Of things we would never agree to do, this almost tops the list (Venezuelan drug mule still reigns at No. 1). But this adventurous lass is all on board. You rock, Amber!...

Jay Mariotti Can't Figure Out Why Everyone's So NEGATIVE
We enjoyed the countless emails we received yesterday informing us that "Around The Horn" host Tony Reali — an affable fellow whom we imagine being ultra intense about rec league softball, for some reason — yelled out "don't take my Deadspin away from me" at the end of the program yesterday. (Shocki...

One Sign You Definitely Can't Bring In The Rink
There are about three or four funny things happening in this 30 second clip from a commercial break during a San Jose Sharks NHL game. Here's how we rank them....

Bill Cowher Surprisingly Cool When You Accost Him On The Beach With A Video Camera
Via Sports By Brooks, here's a video apparently shot in February 2000 from an incredibly rude (but amusingly inquisitive) fan who ran into Bill Cowher and his wife on an undisclosed tropical locale....

Yes, It Was A Good Night For The Colt
In case you were wondering how Bear Vs. Colt turned out, here's your answer: With the Colt in bed with an attractive blond woman. That sounds about right....

Prepare Thyself For Dice K
Red Sox fans, take heart: You can now see Dice K himself, Daisuke Matsuzaka, pitching in a Red Sox uniform, kind of. In this ad for Asahi beer — we love that people can physically drink the beer in Japanese commercials — Dice K dons the duds and even throws a pitch, albeit with some less-than-convin...

Negro Bowl I: The Man On The Street
As you might have heard from a media outlet or two, this is a historic Super Bowl because it features two African American head coaches for the first time. The odds are good that this might be a topic over the next few days....

Ah, To Be Able To Scream, Dance And Touch Athletes' Heads Again ...
This video, shot after Indiana's upset victory over Wisconsin last evening, is mostly grueling to watch, and definitely has that Blair Witch shaky-nausea feel to it. But, even though it is hated Indiana, we couldn't help but be charmed by the great college tradition of rushing the court after a big ...

Yeah! We're Game Too!
We can't quite put our finger on why we find this "I'm Always Game (For Some Football)" video so entertaining, but we do, without reservation. You can't tell us this isn't better than Pink. If Spike ever gets NFL games, this should probably be the intro....

Deconstructing Bear Vs. Colt
A shocking result in Tuesday's episode of Bear vs. Colt . With the score tied at two wins apiece, neither of them won! In a move that the real Indianapolis Colts would do well to study and reflect upon (we have no trouble at all imagining Peyton Manning choking in similar fashion), Colt seems to hav...

OJ Mayo Can Shove Refs With His Mind
We've been hearing all week about video of prep star O.J. Mayo's "incident," in which he supposedly knocked a referee over. Mayo claimed the ref was "vengeful" and that he pulled a soccer-type flop, for whatever reason....

It's Drinking Time!
Longtime readers know full well of our fascination and affection for Keggy, the mascot with a heart of gold(schlager). Well, because it's a Friday afternoon, it's freezing in New York City and everyone just wants to go home/out and eradicate any lingering brain cells after the work week, we present ...

Kind Of Looks Like Steve McMichael On A Bender
One of the things we love about the Bears? They have a theme song. It's pretty awesome that a professional sports team has a team song. And it's particularly awesome when it is sung by Bryan Griffin, of the Chicago Lyric Opera....

The Beginning Of A Fun Reality Show
So here's a fun social experiment: Five Chicago Bears season ticket holders end up with their number called for two Super Bowl tickets. But they all have an equal claim on the tickets. How do they figure it out? the Chicago Tribune's RedEye filmed the negotiations. We're disappointed there were not ...

Finally, A Worthwhile Video Moment In Ice Jumping
From With Leather comes this brutal video of ski jumper — who will surely be beaten for his poor performance — Jan Mazoch having a little difficult with his jump over the weekend. He's currently in stable condition, which seems like too facile a word for what happens in this video....

"I Hope You Watch It Over And Over, Like I Will"
The instinct, of course, is to make fun of this kid, who's rocking the Jewfro and slow-motioning his own dunks in his basement basketball "court." But we've all been him, setting the microwave timer to hit last-second shots and trying to do Dominique dunks with a ping-pong ball....

This Man Has A Message For You About The Patriots
One More Dying Quail brings us this video of the nightmarish stereotype that all Boston sports fans fear. This guy thinks the Patriots deserve more respect, we think. After this, we suspect he played Golden Tee for six hours, and then got in a fight....
