Meet The New Packers Running Back
The Packers might be down to to their fifth-string running back, but that's hardly a bad thing. In fact, new fantasy obsessive pickup Samkon Gado is one of our new favorite players, because we've come across MySpace profile, and, all told, we think the guy sounds kind of cool....
Michael Jordan's Sudden Inability To Speak
We have such huge blog crushes on the maniacs at Wizznutzz that it's somewhat embarassing to us and to our family. We love it muchly when they rip on Michael Jordan, like they did in this maddeningly brilliant post, but we've just discovered, via Mr. Irrelevant, their best find yet....

The REAL Reason Theo's Gone
That guy right there isn't just Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, strikingly handsome man; he's also Dan Shaughnessy, Most Hated Man In Boston.

Your Vikings Orgy Memento
The bid is only up to $5.95, and, quite frankly, we find that number unacceptable. Currently on eBay: a commemorative Vikings sex cruise T-shirt, or, as the sellers call it, the "Coochie Cruise '05."...
The Mystery AL 'Roider: Sheffield, Says You
The results are in from our poll asking you who the mystery steroid postseason AL outfielder was, and the winner: Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield! We supposed we could have guessed that.

Help Mark Cuban Find His Boogie Shoes
Mavs owner Mark Cuban, as pretty much everybody knows, is the only NBA owner with a blog. Recently, he has been disappointing us with thoughful, intelligent analysis of the NBA dress code, blog search engines and the response to Hurricane Katrina. We don't want that: We want the blatant fan-boy ge...
The (Gasp) Michael Jordan Backlash
True Hoop brings up something we've been noticing in recent years: People are finding it acceptable to trash Michael Jordan. In retirement, it's safer to take jabs, we guess....
The Cavs' Super Secret Club (No Girls Allowed!)
Free Darko has a find that's making us giggle like an idiot: Apparently, Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James, Larry Hughes and Damon Jones (known around here as "two-and-a-half men") have come up with a "secret handshake that involves two low-fives, then a wave, then posing with their arms cros...
Could ND's Savior Be Gone After One Year?
The Mighty MJD brings up something we hadn't thought about: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, the "savior" of college football's most "sainted" program, has a very cheap buyout clause in his contract that would allow him to go to an NFL team for just $1.5 million. That team would have to offer him a ...

Jordan Demands Your Rapt Attention!
We haven't heard from Michael Jordan in a while, and Michael Jordan doesn't like it when we haven't heard from him in a while. In a "wide-ranging" interview with "60 Minutes" — for Jordan, "wide-ranging" interviews basically mean there's no actual fellatio shown on screen — Jordan talks to the unf...
Zoot Suitin' Boogie
All right, we've avoided this long enough: We now have to acknowledge this whole NBA dress code thing. What sparked us into action? Why, Mark Cuban, of course, who addresses the "controversy on his blog. His take: It's a matter of owners not knowing how to relate to their players, which is a shock...
Vikings In Desperate Need Of Dramamine
All kinds of developments from the Vikings orgy boat story over the weekend. The highlights:...
Anybody Recovered From The USC Game Yet?
Honestly, you just know Nick Lachey was wetting his pants in South Bend on Saturday. We still haven't quite come down from the high of USC's thrilling 34-31 victory over Notre Dame, a game that somehow made everyone on both teams into a legend. Most of the Notre Dame fans we know aren't even angry...
Help ND Alums Keep Coach Weis From Dying
If you weren't officially excited enough about the Notre Dame-USC game already, let this wet your whistle: It's WeisWatchers, (another) Irish fans site. (Honestly, Irish fans, they're a little weird. In a good way, don't hate us.) The idea of the site is for all Irish fans in the South Bend area t...
Dan Dickau Loses A Potential Best Pal
The kids over at Yay!Sports have this fun game they've decided to play with chats with NBA players on NBA.com: They ask them : "Freestyle a bit for us and I'll be your best friend." (The bit is derived from an actual question to LeBron James in an AOL chat; apparently the joke made him "LOL" so ha...
The Dirty Sheets Of South Bend
People are so excited about the USC-Notre Dame game this weekend that even travel arrangements are making the news.

Will The Boss Rock Touchdown Jesus?
We keep hearing about all these rumors, so since we are who we are, we might as well publish them.
