Why Can't NFL Fans Celebrate Like That?
To my knowledge there haven't been any delightful female-on-female celebrations in the stands at today's NFL games, but as we all know the real action takes place in the Carolina bathrooms. Fortunately the games themselves have produced their own entertainment, unlike your average Big 10 game. New ...
President Condi Possible This January in San Francisco?
Condoleezza Rice, National Security Adviser to President Bush Secretary of Flippin' State (and we're rather embarrassed about THAT), has been fishing for an NFL job post-Executive Branch for awhile. She's quoted in 2002 trolling for the NFL Commissioner position (only to be beaten out by Guantanamo ...
NFL Update 4: Welcome To My Nightmare
There's really no good reason to run this photo, especially in relation to any NFL Update post. But when something like this lands in your inbox, forcing you to spend the next hour washing your eyes out with lava soap, even though you know it's never going to escape from where it has burrowed on th...

NFL Update 3: Like A Kid Out There
Like a stupid child, Brett Favre just couldn't stop throwing the football to the other team today, giving away 3 interceptions (one of them as bad of a pick you'll ever see) against a Chiefs team that isn't - how would one put this? - very good. And that was before they lost their starting RB for s...
NFL Update 2: Who Is The Eighth?
Looks like we got a few more names on WaterPillGate. Jay Glazer is reporting that the two Minnesota Williamses - Pat and Kevin - both tested positive for whatever it is people are testing positive for these days. That'll put a decent-sized hole in their defensive line. Glazer also says Falcons defen...
NFL Update 1: Blackout!
Let's get you folks up to speed, our friends in Detroit who have taken a noble stand by refusing to pay big bucks to watch a horrible football team. Unfortunately, this little bit of protest has forced them to deal with the dreaded NFL blackout. We're here for you, D-Town. Washington 3, Detroit 10....
NFL Preview: Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?
What a week for evil, HEEENGH? This probably isn't what Roger Goodall had in mind when he was going to "clean up the league". A Texans long-snapper and half of the Saints team got busted for the hilariously wimpy accusation of ingesting water pills; none have been suspended yet. Kellen Winslow got ...

UFC 90: Silva Crumples Cote in Unsatisfying Manner
As yet another reminder that style points matter in judged sports (even when they're not tallied explicitly), Anderson Silva seemingly toyed with Patrick Cote before watching his competition collapse under expectations (and an old knee injury renewed) in the third round. Of course, Silva now has to ...
College Football Recap: Giggity, Giggity!
Were there a whole lot of football games being played by college students yesterday or what?

UFC 90: Sweet Home Rosemont
Not only do we have a World Series game (in theory) and a decent college football matchup tonight, but we also have UFC 90 on pay-per-view. Unfortunately, we don't live near Rosemont to see the card at Allstate Arena tonight (home of the Chicago Wolves, DePaul basketball, and numerous Wiggles concer...
Nothing's More Fun Than A Boxing Controversy!
There's nothing quite like a good ol' fashioned boxing fix, especially when it's extremely obvious. There's something almost pure about how it simultaneously deceives and yet has the balls to not even care if anyone notices. Last night's fight in Montreal between Canadian Lucian Bute and Mexican-Am...
NFL Voids Jim Haslett's Contract
Well, this is certainly some unexpected news. Jim Haslett, the hot-headed interim coach of the Rams who signed a contract with the team guaranteeing they remove the "interim" label next year if he wins 6 games, was just informed by the league that the contract no longer exists! Because they tore th...

Fog Slowly Lifting On NFL Steroid Scandal

Well, the man on the scene Chris(t) Mortensen has learned himself a few names to go along with those allegatio...
Cavs Dancer Lands On Face During Stunt Gone Wrong
Every now and then, you need a horrific accident just to remind you how physically demanding of a sport cheerleading/dancing/tumbling actually is; if no one ever got hurt, would we still be amazed by the somersaults? Which is why it's necessary to highlight this story from last night regarding an i...
Tony Zendejas Will Knock You Out, Take That Booty
If you're like me and start your morning off by going through court proceedings of sexual abuse cases - don't you dare judge me! - you tend to become desensitized by most of the testimonies regarding these brutal escapades. But when you read something like "the largest anal tear the medical examiner...
