Has Kornheiser Already Had Enough Of This MNF Business?
After all the battling ESPN and Norby! have done to make sure Tony Kornheiser is as comfortable in the "Monday Night Football" booth as possible — which is to say, "not very comfortable" — we can't imagine the Bristol folks are doing backflips over the rumors from DC this morning that say Kornheiser...
About Last Night
What you missed while tipping a glass to the late Robert Cade ... • College basketball: You may resume hating Duke; Blue Devils 82, Badgers 58. • NHL: Milestone, shootout, lots of Canadians. Montreal 4, Toronto 3. • Soccer: Beckham sustains an injury Down Under....
The Grand Valley State Mascot Really Loves His Job
OK, I’ve checked the rulebook, and nowhere in there does it say that you can’t hump the goalpost after your team has achieved an important first down. This round goes to you, Grand Valley State mascot. But someday your reign of Div. II goal post-sexual assault will end. Mark my words. ...
No More Stars
Every two weeks, the gents at Free Darko will be taking a look at the deranged ecosystem that is the National Basketball Association in their own indelible fashion. Here's this week's entry, from Dr. Lawyer IndianChief....
Eat Ice, Evil Doers!
In Canada, it's never too early to teach the fundamentals of the national sport, even to eight-year-olds. Inside and outside edges, skating backward, forward crossovers, and if there's a scuffle on the ice you go over the boards and get in a few good shots, son!...
Steelers Roll Around In The Slop For Three Hours
How close we were last night to a 0-0 tie on "Monday Night Football." That's one that would have gone down in history; we'd certainly remember a soccer result more than we'd remember a dull, sloppy, soaked morass. All that was missing last night was fog....
The Dolphins' Quest For History Continues
We are set up, once again, for a dreadful Monday Night Football game, but at least there's some history on the line: We'd love to see Steve Spurrier and the 1976 Buccaneers on the sideline, cheering for the Dolphins so that they can all have their yearly Miller High Life celebration once the last w...

Eagles, Patriots, Roughriders And Bombers
The biggest question regarding tonight's Eagles and Patriots game (8:15pm, NBC) isn't whether the Pats can keep their perfect season run alive. They will. It's whether or not this inevitable gong show will resemble anything even close to a competitive football game. It probably won't....
Footbaw!
Type "Giants fan" into Google Images and that's one of the first images to grace your 15-inch monitor. Seems about right. Eli Manning is 6-for-garbage, with two interceptions. He threw four picks in his last meeting against the Vikes, so he's right on pace. Minnesota 24, New York Giants 7....

No Haka In Oregon, Bra
And now a story about a football team that begins every game with a 15-yard penalty ... and curiously, it's not the Raiders. The players from Jefferson High in Oregon perform the Haka Dance during pregame warmups every week, and are summarily penalized by officials for taunting. But instead of givin...
Thanksgiving Games As Uninspiring As Always
As usual, the Thanksgiving Day slate of games yesterday was hardly compelling. All three games were blowouts, and it's never a positive sign when the most dramatic moment involves the phrase, "hey, the Lions are within 15 now!"...

Red Sox Wonder Where All That Free Yen Went
When the Red Sox bid that ridiculous amount just for the right to offer Daisuke Matsuzaka a contract, one of the ancillary benefits was supposed to be all the Japanese endorsements he would bring in. (And take away from the Yankees.) But it looks like that hasn't happened at all....
