Ah ... When The Catchphrases Felt Only SLIGHTLY Warmed Over
Here's your little blast for the past today: As difficult as it is to believe that Hootie and the Blowfish were ever considered cool — we're not sure that actually ever happened — it's, these days, just as difficult to comprehend ESPN being, you know, down with the kids. These two unique cultural cu...
There Are All Kinds Of Ways To Cheer For Your Team
They do some unusual things involving football down there in Texas, but this strange cheering tradition from the Texas A&M Aggie Corps might very well be the weirdest. We don't have the foggiest idea what's going on there, and we're not sure we want to know....
It's Sager Bomb Time!
So a new blog devoted simply to tracking TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager and various NBA bon mots has launched at Donning Craig Sager's Suit. And boy, do they have a doozy to start: This blink-if-you-miss-it four-second clip of Craig doing a shot of what he renames a "Sager Bomb."...
"You Jackin' It?"
Well, here it is: Carl Monday being bum-rushed on "The Daily Show." The segment is as entertaining as we could have hoped — we love Jason Jones' Monday-esque intro — and, we hope, succeeds in finally crossing Carl over to an America that will never, ever be ready for him....
The Red Raider Weather Man
Big ups to The Wizard Of Odds (via Every Day Should Be Saturday) for unearthing this April video of embattled Texas Tech coach Mike Leach — no relation — living a lifelong dream by playing a weatherman on a local station. It's raining mud! You know, it's possible that Bob Knight isn't even the looni...
It's Christmas In Dallas!
So DC Sports Bog alerted us to some old Dallas Cowboys videos dug up by outstanding Cowboys blog Know Your Dallas Cowboys, and they're really amazing....
Fox's Sense Of Humor Superior To That Of ESPN
I haven't made fun of Tim McCarver nearly as much I should, recently. I offer this as an apology, and I applaud the Fox network for letting it go. Some other networks seem to have a problem with poking fun at themselves....
That, Friends, Is A Lot Of Funk
In a world of uncertainty, the dancing fat man is a distinct pleasure worth cherishing. Do not underestimate the dancing fat Clemson fan: He's, in fact, quite nimble. You might think it cheap and/or easy, but we value the fundamental certainty of gyrating flab, and we think you probably should too....
"Shh ... Don't Tell Him ... Let's Just Watch Him Go"
This, friends, is UNLV coach Mike Sanford. Two weeks ago, his Rebels lost to Iowa State 16-10, on a close call late. UNLV's wide receiver was ruled out of bounds, and Iowa State left the field with the win....
Chad Johnson, Perhaps Unaware Of His Surroundings
So remember that hit Chad Johnson took at the end of the Bengals-Browns game last week? Well, over at The Fanhouse, the omnipotent Mighty MJD found the video of Johnson's postgame "discussion" with reporters. We think maybe he wasn't quite ready for an interview yet....
She Handled It Considerably Better Than McCarver
Julie Donaldson, locker room/sideline reporter for SNY, the Mets station — she is one of the women the station allows to have a brain and a skull — takes part in turning an otherwise perfectly normal division championship celebration into something vaguely different....
See, It's Harder Than It Looks
We hope you don't mind that we're ending the day with two videos, but we suspect this is worth it....
That's Not A Fun Way To Lose
Saturday was an outstanding day for college football — particularly if you went to Syracuse, grumble grumble — but it was not so pleasant for Oklahoma fans, who, as this video rather clearly shows, were screwed out of a big road victory against Oregon. It's funny, because one wouldn't think it would...
"I Get That Old Lovin' Feelin'... Every Time I See Jim Leyland"
Your pennant run is not legitimate until Jeff Daniels makes a YouTube music video about you. A musical masterpiece, it is not. A song that will get you fired up, it also is not. What it is, is... well... I don't know what the hell it is, but it probably made Jeff Daniels feel better about himself....
We'll Take It Over Bayless On TV, Anyday
Well, Bill Simmons made his appearance on "The Colbert Report," and, as you'd probably expect, those who can stay up that late are talking about it today. Some are pointing out that he finally confirmed that Red Sox fans are happier when they're miserable, a viewpoint he had disparaged for years; so...
See, We Weren't Making It Up
So remember the Bubba Bobble Challenge Sex Doll Races tournament, in which the guy was disqualified for — get THIS! — having sex with his "raft?"...
"Yeah, You See, Laserdiscs Are The Future"
This guy is Jim Cantafio, and he, like all football coaches, at his high school level or otherwise, is vaguely unaware that there is a world outside of football, or even that there are people on the planet who have, in fact, never heard of football. ("Al-Qaeda people, and that sort.") But man, can h...
They Might Want To Think About Whether Or Not They Should Rehire That Ref
So you might have heard about the ballboy who scores a goal for his soccer team and the refs inexplicably count it, but until you've actually seen it, you can't really appreciate the ludicrousness of it....
Now, Now, We're Sure Irvin Has Close To The Right Number Of Chromosomes
So that whole Tom Jackson calling Michael Irvin a "retard" thing from yesterday? Absolutely true, absolutely happened, and here's video, via Dejuiced....
Do Toilets Burn Darker?
Remember back when we told you about the soccer fans in Brazil who were setting fire to portable toilets? Well, The Offside, the soccer blog who mentioned it initally, thinks it has footage of the burning, though the evidence appears to be "portable toilets probably produce blacker smoke."...
