"This Is The Parts Where They Say Who They Thinks Gonna Win"
In his nightmares, this is what Chris Fowler imagines every viewer of College GameDay is like....
That's How You Take A Charge
We just realized that we haven't told your our thoughts on the weekend of college football that just (finally) ended. Well, we're happy the Illini won, though they're gonna get killed at Rutgers. We think Brady Quinn remains dreamy. And, mostly, we think it was an extremely dangerous weekend to be o...
You Know This Took About Eight Days To Film, And He Kept Pinching PA's Asses
We'd like to thank The Basketball Jones for this arcane piece of beauty, featuring the Fresh Prince playing an imaginary game against a guy who just know he'll try to sign someday....
Throw It DOWN, Big Man!
So you know how Lakers forward Luke Walton was supposed to make a guest appearance on "The Young & The Restless" earlier this week? Wait: You didn't know that? What's wrong with you?...
Sometimes, YouTube Can Be A Very Dangerous Thing
This is "Hugh Johnson," which is an incredibly clever fake name, and he has a UCLA fan site. He is, as you can tell here, extremely clever. And if we were a UCLA backer right now, we'd be hiding under our desk....
Weird: A Lions Fan Setting Something On Fire
We know that life as a Detroit Lions fan has been difficult in recent years, but, honestly, it's no reason to set your neighborhood ablaze....
Your Hans Moleman Special
Because we have a busy day tomorrow, and because of Josh Levin's amusing "America's Funniest Home Videos" piece on Slate, and because we're blown away by the 300-plus (and counting!) brilliant comments on the last story, we happily reward you with one of life's basic, most human pleasures. Enjoy....
We Don't Know How Hootie Didn't Sneak In This Video
We couldn't decide which dopey fan cheer song we were going to go with today: This brand new Reds one or the above Dolphins video from the early '90s. We decided to go with the Dolphins one, if just because we figured we'd look bitter and/or scared if we just focused on the Reds....
Revisiting The Old Miller Lite Ads
In the wake of these "Man Law" Miller Lite commercials, we thought we'd hop in the DeLorean and find one of those cheesy great old Miller Lite commercials. You know: the inexplicable ones where a collection of faded sports personalities — Billy Martin, Dick Butkus, Bubba Smith, that type — would be ...
Not To Pile On The Red Sox Here, But ...
We know that often American celebrities will do advertisements in other countries — or their home countries — that they might not necessarily want to be seen doing here. But that doesn't change the bewilderment of seeing David Ortiz ... doing a boner commercial? Really? Can anybody translate?...
From The Mouths Of Unusually Large Babes
Nothing funnier than when a kid says "fuck" on national television. Last night, in the Little League World Series, a player — for Staten Island ... of course — implored his teammates to score "one fucking run." His teammates immediately shush him, not because he cursed, but because he forgot that ES...
Attack Of The Killer Baseball
We'd never seen this video before, but it's proof of the age old maxim: When a baseball decides to kill every person in the room, there's simply no stopping it. Do not taunt Happy Baseball....
Stolen Car Clip A Fake, Subsequent Beatdown Not So Much
By now, many of us have seen the video of the fan who ran on the track at Altamont Motorsports Park last week and stole the winning car, driving it away. The above video was all over the place, from CNN to "SportsCenter" to "Today."...
A Good Old-Fashioned Minor League Basebrawl
Just because it's difficult to find one's self a decent baseball brawl anymore, here's about 90 seconds of a great one between between the Kansas City T-Bones and the Schaumberg Flyers about a week and a half ago. This one loses steam about two-plus minutes in, but it's rare, as one reader put it, "...
"It Takes All Kinds" With Jonah Falcon
We'd like to introduce you to Jonah Falcon. He's new to us, but apparently, if you can trust his Wikipedia entry, he:...
Clinton Portis' Illogical Soapbox
You know we love Clinton Portis, right? Our enjoyment of his play and his antics, we believe, is unquestioned....
Franken Friar Is Alive!
Apparently, during their last homestand, the San Diego Padres introduced a new mascot called, inexplicably, "Franken Friar." He's an oversized Friar who dances and flops around and was, uh, brought back from the dead? We're a little confused about that part, actually....
"Interests: Redskins, Clubs And GETTIN' DRUNK"
It just wouldn't be the NFL without some truly obsessed, frightening fans, and we've got some pretty worthy ones in the Dead Tree Crew, backers of the Washington Redskins and almost certainly the type of guys who beat up Daniel Snyder in high school....
You Got Neil Rackers, Yo
All right, so we know this isn't real, and we know it's just an NFL promotional video (for a product we don't use; we prefer Yahoo for our all fantasy games, to be honest with you), but we still could not resist....
