College Football Roundup: The Hailey and Hanna Nutt Edition
In honor of BCS clarity arriving (thanks to Iowa we now know that the Big 12 will play the SEC for all the gold in Zimbabwe—that isn't already smuggled to Zurich), we bring you two striking young lasses who recently transferred from Arkansas to rejoin their daddy at Ole Miss. Meet Hailey and Hanna ...
Mike Van Ryn Is Having A Rough Year
The NHL season is only a few weeks old, but for Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Van Ryn it probably feels like an eternity. Back in October, he removed a pane of glass from the boards in Boston with his face and on Saturday night he was on the receiving end of this rather nasty boarding penalty...

Feet Shouldn't Be Pointing That Way
Thanks to PFT who finally found an embeddable video of the gruesome leg injury suffered by the Vikes' Charles Gordon. If you've eaten within the last hour, you may want to pass on this for now. There's no update on Gordon's status, but one could make the assumption after viewing that his season — at...
Freddie Mitchell Wants To Put His Meat In Your Mouth
We have a Freddie Mitchell sighting: the former Eagles wideout is now the new owner of Brothers ' Bar-B-Q in Lakeland, Florida. No word on whether he plans to have a replica wrestling championship belt over the facade of the building. The former first-round pick hasn't played since the Eagles lost t...

College Football Preview: John Parker Wilson's Cell Phone Belongs to the Cajuns
Alabama's John Parker Wilson is the latest SEC player attempting to overcome the LSU fans snagging his cell phone number and listing it everywhere on the internets. Confounding Cajuns. You'll recall that earlier this season Knowshon Moreno and A.J. Green were the victims. They joined Tim Tebow from...
High School Kids Choose Phillies Over Football
Much like the site you're reading now, there were some attendance problems last Friday in certain Philadelphia area school systems. Reports say that as much as 20 percent of the area's students licked their palms and skipped school so they could be sworn at by Chase Utley. Among that group are nine ...
Well, They're Back To Square One With The Old Folks Home Flasher Case
Former sprint champion Mark Walcott was cleared on Thursday of charges that he exposed himself five times at two old folks homes in Britain, but at what cost? During the trial it was revealed that Walcott was having affairs with two women at the same time, both of whom were hauled into court to prov...
Quinn's Debut Inspires A Nation, Browns Lose As Usual
With all the excitement over the big stimulus package that was the debut of Brady Quinn and the return of Kellen Winslow — turns out they're real, and they're fantastic — we all ignored the real issues: Jay Cutler and Brandon McDonald. The shy, self-effacing Broncos quarterback threw for 447 yards a...
Cocaine Is A Helluva Drug
That's the second time that phrase has been used today, but in this case it seems much more appropriate. This will air on Friday's "Best Damn Sports Show Period". I love how terrified Chris Rose looks after it happens. It's almost like he's just realized that Lawrence Taylor is, in fact, crazy and ...
We Have An Opening Bid In The Manny Auction
The Dodgers have an offer on the table to keep Manny Ramirez, but is it just for show? We'd know better if we knew what it was, but GM Ned Colleti isn't talking. Speculation is that it's "either two years for $50 million or three years for $75 million," according to the Los Angeles Times. That's les...
Michael Irvin Shares His Surprising Post-Election Thoughts With the World
ESPN's Mike and Mike in the morning had ex-Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin call in and share his thoughts about last night's election of Barack Obama. He spoke candidly and passionately about what it meant to him, without much of a filter and what seemed little preparation. Based on some of Irvin's p...
The Patriots Dole Out Their Swift, Kraftian Justice, Thus Ending The Short Career of One Cheerleader
Caitlin Davis, the 19-year-old Patriots cheerleader who was featured in this Deadspin item, photographed with a Sharpie in hand, posing over a passed out individual covered in penis drawings was dismissed from pompom duties effective yesterday, according to the Boston Herald. The paper insinuates th...
Drunken Redneck Browns Fan Ushers In Brady Quinn Era
These videos were taken last season, when this anonymous Browns fan — we'll call him Doyle, because he reminds me of the Dwight Yoakum stepfather character in Sling Blade — was quite comfortable with the way things were playing out in his world. But as Busted Coverage points out, now "there's a b...
And in Just a Few Hours We'll Find Out If There Is An College Football Playoff In Our Future....
Everybody knows what today is. The importance of it, what's at stake, all that. There's no way to avoid it. Whoever walks away with the most colored areas from the CNN map tonight, it'll be a good thing. Tomorrow we'll at least be able to look forward to something different in 2009. Those who did vo...
It's North Carolina Against The World
College basketball gets underway sooner than you expect, so it's probably time to roll out our 341-day team-by-team preview of the forthcoming season. But then we woke up this morning and realized there's no point to that. In fact, there's no point to even having a season at all, because the titles,...
Derek Jeter's Glove is Only Useful For Fielding Trim
Poor Derek Jeter. Even with his professional achievements and world wide popularity, he always seems to be getting dogged by seamhead geeks trying in earnest to convince baseball fans the man is just not that good. The latest swipe comes from the 2008 Fielding Bible Awards, a panel comprised of nine...
