Which Sports-Related Person Would Engage In A 2Girls1Cup-Type Video?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday ... well, that next five Fridays, anyway. Yes, after more than a year of goodness, Mr. Daulerio is retiring the Cultural Oddsmaker column at the beginning of 2008. There are now FIVE left. Email him to let him know how much you'll miss him....
The Thrilling Nature Of An NFC Wild-Card Elimination Game
The NFL Network was crowing about its Cowboys-Packers ratings last week. Let's see how they do with a game much fewer people care about....
Jamboroo, Week 14: College Overtime? In The NFL? F—k Yeah!

It's All About The Dead, Dude
This handsome, vigorous young sprite is Bryan Saltus, a 37-year-old golfer on the Pro Asia Tour. This past weekend, he won his first ever tournament, in China. When he announced whom he was dedicating his victory to, he totally did not waste it, not at all....
Fat Guy, Skinny Guy Shipped To Detroit
As was first reported (kinda) by Sports Review Magazine, baseball had its first big trade yesterday. The Marlins sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers for six guys, though we think the actual amount of tonnage exchanged was close to equal....
Two Attractive Humans, Walking Down The Street
For whatever reason, there are people who have been clamoring to see photos of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson together. We do not know why....
Brian Billick's Passionate Kisses
We're sure you've seen it by now, but here's that highly amusing "kiss" from Ravens coach Brian Billick to Patriots defender Rodney Harrison. Warning, Brian: It's best not to mock effetely the roided up large man. Trust us on this one....
The Best MNF Game In Many A Moon
If you weren't able to stay up and make the whole "Monday Night Football" game last night, we're sorry for you: That was as terrific an NFL game we've seen all season. You can tell from the comments on our late-night post: As Larry King might say, "if that game didn't excite you, check your pulse, b...
The Patriots Might Just Be Toying With Us Now
A while back, we said that this whole "call a timeout right before a big play" business would end when someone called a timeout that nullified a great, game-winning play by his own team. That's exactly what happened tonight, thanks to an overeager timeout from Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ry...
Another Night That The Patriots Run The NFL
Sometimes it seems like the only major drama left in the NFL swirls around Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. We're almost as fascinated with the Dolphins' losing streak as we are with the Patriots' winning one, but tonight, "Monday Night Football" will reap the national benefits....

Uncovering The 19th Century Version Of 'You Dead, Dawg'
Well, this just makes me miss Deadwood all the more: It seems that raunchy language was such a problem in professional baseball in the late 1800s, that the league actually handed out a document telling players to knock it off. It lists several examples of banned expressions, which are absolutely fil...
Yeah, Yeah, We Get It: You Hate The BCS

About Last Night
What you missed while watching No. 11 on the list of the 100 Best Christmas Shows of All Time ... • NFL: It's Manning vs. Grossman, but one has to suck less than the other. • College basketball: Down go the Bruins! Texas prevails in final seconds. • NBA: Warriors are so hot they literally set the sc...
McCowns For Everyone!
With just four games on the 4 o'clock table, three turned out to be amazing, while the fourth turned out to be Denver-Oakland, which was still passable as a competitive event....
Only YOU Can Prevent The Giants Passing Attack
The matchup of Rex Grossman and Eli Manning is one you'd think would result in one of the QBs getting benched in the near future if they don't play up to snuff. Grossman is throwing pretty well, all things considered, with over 200 yards passing and a score, even though most of his incompletions wer...
Peyton's Good, But He'll Never Be A QB Like His Brother
About that "poor 1:00 game slate" thing: somehow I kept forgetting about the Indianapolis/Jacksonville game. Maybe we take for granted that they play twice a year and the matchup's always decent, or maybe it was just infected by all the other bad games much like Gary Gulman's theory about grapefruit...
Traditionally, 11 Man Defenses Work Better
I've read in a couple places that the Redskins' first defensive play featured a 10-person formation in honor of Sean Taylor, which the Bills also thought was proper, because they used that play for a 22-yard gain. (Good thing it wasn't a 21-yard run.) The pride of Wallaceburg, Ontario and BGSU's own...
Who Will Tony Romo Date Next?
