Bobby Knight To Be Airlifted In To Restore Order At Castro Valley High
Awhile ago we wrote about the parents' revolt at Castro Valley (Calif.)

She was even forced to have an ombudsman observe all of her subseq...

Scoop Jackson And (Someone Else's) Orange Roundie
Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that, oh, Mike Lupica wrote a story for Esquire in which he discussed a concept he had discovered "on the Internet" called "The Ewing Theory." He then wrote a whole 4,000-word piece in which he borrowed heavily from the "Internet concept," but never actually men...
Uh, Jack, You Missed A Spot. A Big Spot

Pac Man Gets His Ride Back
You might remember, about a month ago, when the car belong to Titans defensive back Pac Man Jones went up for a police auction. We wondered then who, in fact, might want a car with the official Pac Man logo stitched into the headrest....

Bengals Love A Rainy Night
We're not sure when the Bengals defense suddenly got all uppity, but jeez, that could be an entirely different team all of a sudden.

About Last Night ...
What you missed while finally making use of that University of Miami degree (sorry)... • NFL: Bengals 13, Ravens 7. That guy on the commercial who drafted T.J.

Bengals Receivers Takes Their Antics To Basic Cable
We promise to someday stop bitching about this — probably when the season ends — but once again, we, as Time Warner Cable subscribers, will not be able to watch tonight's Bengals-Ravens game, because it's on the NFL Network, and even though we somehow get the Al Gore slacker news channel, we don't g...

Ten Moments That Will Make You Cry
Just to be cruel to our delicate sensibilities, the fine folks at Chowdaheads have compiled the 10 most gruesome broken arms and legs in sports history.

Bill Romanowski Would Still Like To Pump You Up
Back before there was Tony Romo, God of all that he surveys, there was of course the original RoboRomo, the steroid-addled, spitting monstrosity that is Bill Romanowski. The Other Romo was considered one of the cutting edge steroid users, and he admitted using them not only to "60 Minutes" but als...
It's Never Too Early In Wrigleyville
Honestly, the Cubs are kind of freaking us out with all this spending business. The overspend for Aramis Ramirez, they really overspend for Mark DeRosa and they REALLY overspend on Alfonso Soriano, and now they're supposedly going after Jason Schmidt. We're not necessarily concerned that these acq...
