Best. Super Bowl Party. Ever.
Um, I think we found our winner — and runner-up — for this year's best Super Bowl party. Seriously. If Will doesn't take a field trip to this ... well, I'll kill him. I don't care if he has a book....
Put A Cork In The Grey Goose!
A little birdie — with a healthy appetite for sunflower seeds and large-breasted woman — just flew into my apartment and whispered to me that, apparently, ESPN has yanked all coverage of the Dana Jacobson story. How dare they!...

The NBA Is Harshing David Harrison's Mellow
The Pacers' David Harrison, who just failed a drug test, made news the other day when he pointed out that the NBA seems unusually concerned about marijuana and shouldn't test for weed. (He has a point. Dood.) But Indy Cornrows notices that that's not all he had to say....
Hey, Look, Dana Jacobson's Having Some Fun
So ... here's a fun picture. That's Dana Jacobson. Having fun. (Baseball Musings found the photo.)...
That Six Flags Venture Hasn't Worked Out Too Well For Danny Snyder And Mark Shapiro
When Redskins owner Daniel Snyder bought the Six Flags franchise back in 2005, he said he trusted former ESPN executive vice president of programming Mark Shapiro to help turn the amusement park franchise into the next Disneyland. It, uh, hasn't quite worked out that way....
Tony Romo Thinks He Can Do Better
Good news, fellows ... Jessica Simpson may soon be available. So for Heaven's sake start wearing collared shirts! (Preferably popped.) Word is that Tony Romo would like to dump her ... only she's not going easily. Hmm. Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction comes to mind here for some reason....

The Ultimate Warrior Likes All But One Of Heath Ledger's Movies
If you're like me, your social and political outlook is heavily influenced by blogs written by former pro wrestlers. You may or may not remember The Ultimate Warrior (aka Brian James Hellwig), who retired from the WWF in 1997 after a contract dispute. To let you know what kind of guy we're dealing w...

We are sad to say that Jonah Keri has discontinued his College Basketball Closer; we will miss him. But that's not all for the Closer; we'd like to hand the mic to the gang at Storming The Floor to fill in....
Our Field Trip To Madison Square Garden
For the third consecutive year, in the tradition of batting against John Rocker and playing touch football with Andre Rison and Kordell Stewart, we accepted an invitation from the fine folks at "Pros Vs.

Charlie White Is An Ice-Devouring Sex Tornado
Charlie White is just your typical kid from Michigan. By the time he was a teenager, he realized that ice hockey just wasn't for him — even though he had led his club team, the Detroit Wolverines, to a state title. No, he wanted to be much more creative on the ice. He wanted to dance....
Dramatic New Footage Surfaces Of Tom Brady Walking
Tom Brady WILL be at the dance tonight, girls. He WILL be there. I'm paraphrasing Bill Murray in Meatballs, but you get the picture. So, Brady's "high ankle sprain" is not as serious as many believed (hoped?) ... unless they're now making walking casts in pointy-toed dress shoe designs. He showed up...
ESPN Sends Dana Jacobson Away For A Week
The official word has come down: Dana Jacobson has been suspended by ESPN for a week following her apparent meltdown at the Mike and Mike Roast....
