Unpublished Super Bowl I Photos Suggest Smoking Bad, Winning Good
Here's the Chiefs' Len Dawson sucking hard on a cancer stick at halftime of the 1967 AFL-NFL World Championship Game, a.k.a, Super Bowl I. It's a compelling picture, if only because it depicts a Hall of Fame quarterback looking sort of badass for reasons that have nothing to do with his on-field ski...
Former FCC Chairman: I Wasn't <em>That</em> Outraged At Janet Jackson's Boob
Remember that boob? It's one of the most famous boobs ever. Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" was why the few subsequent Super Bowl halftime shows were safe, old, boobless acts like Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen. And it wasn't even on TV for a whole second!...

The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Playoffs
The Super Bowl is about three things, in no particular order because that's not the riot we're here to start today: 1. The Football 2. The Commercials 3. The Food. Maybe The Halftime Show too, but that mostly depends on whether or not we get to see some nipple action....
Kevin Durant Is Inevitable
The Thunder played a basketball game last night, and that means that Kevin Durant did something amazing. The Slim Reaper didn't get pissed off this time, but he still dropped 41 points on 25 shots and won a game with two unguardable shots, the last a pull-up floater that the Hawks couldn't have bloc...
North Hollywood Forty
I WAS sitting at the window of a ninth-floor room in the Stoneleigh Hotel the week before Hollywood Henderson's wedding, facing approximately north, reckoning by the Dallas Cowboys tower out on North Central Expressway. The clouds had closed back in after burning off for a while earlier in the day. ...
Players Hate Those Sleeved Jerseys, And The NBA Pretends To Care
The sleeves jerseys are slowly taking over. With the news that the Nets will break out Dodgers-inspired uniforms in the spring, that makes five teams to add sleeved alternates to their regular rotation. Add in the 10 teams to play on Christmas Day, and the All-Star Game, and it's unavoidable—the NBA...
Statistically, When Is The Best Time To Buy Super Bowl Tickets?
Just a few days ago, you'd have had a better chance of finding a reasonably priced one-bedroom in Manhattan than you would've of scoring Super Bowl tickets for less than a mortgage payment or ten. For those who were able to hold off a few days, though, the savings are likely in the thousands....

Pete Carroll wants you to know he was into Macklemore before you'd even heard of him, you poser....
Anthony Davis Did Some Awesome Stuff Last Night
There are so many ways Anthony Davis can humiliate a man. Usually, he does it by extending those stupid-long arms across every inch of airspace over the basketball court, sending away any shot his opponents are foolish enough to send in his direction. But Anthony Davis can also make people look stu...
Martin Brodeur Blames The Ice For His Being Old And Bad
Martin Brodeur called the makeshift rink at Yankee Stadium "the worst ice I ever played hockey on," and given a 21-year career, that's saying something. No other player on either team had such harsh words for the ice, but, then, no other player got yanked after giving up six goals in two periods....

Morons Complain About Female Announcers On ESPN
Beth Mowins and Kara Lawson handled announcing duties for last night's BYU-Gonzaga game from Spokane. Mowins is one of ESPN's best on the play-by-play mic, and Lawson is an established star as an analyst. Turns out a lot of brain-damaged misogynists had a problem with basketball knowledge being spat...
Mississippi State Coach Is Not Happy With Marshall Henderson
Did he say "fuck you"? It looks like he said "fuck you." Ole Miss soundly beat intra-state rival Mississippi State by 19 today and Marshall Henderson did what Marshall Henderson does: pissed the shit out of everyone. It looks like he even got under the skin of Miss. St. head coach Rick Ray at the ve...
