Jay Cutler's Love Affair With His Own Opinions Continues
Is Jay Cutler under the impression that he's under oath every time he's asked a question by the media? Sure, it's entertaining for all of us, but eventually the Broncos quarterback is going to talk himself into trouble. While appearing on Fox's The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Thursday, Cutler wa...
Perhaps Woody Johnson Should Just Leave His Phone At Home Next Time

More Fun With Unfortunate Ad Placement
Many valuable additions to my unfortunate ad placement collection over the past two days, and let me thank you. Here's a good one from our friends at Pro Football Talk, which probably needs no introduction. The Dallas police waste no time, it appears. I also laugh each time I look at this: ...
Thursday Night Preview: Florida State at North Carolina State and #8 BYU at #24 TCU
I suppose even the genius who schedules Thursday night games at ESPN is entitled to a mulligan. That's the only explanation for how Florida State at N.C. State ended up tonight's featured game. N.C. State is 2-4 and Florida State is 4-1. N.C. State has taken down William and Mary and East Carolina,...

Vince Young Would Like You To Know That It's All The Media's Fault
Vince Young wanted to get a few things off his chest on Wednesday; first and foremost that all the controversy surrounding him — specifically his famous meltdown during Week 1 — was largely a creation of the media. Oh, and also that he's a humble guy. No, make that, a great, great humble guy. ...

Halftime Entertainment In Wisconsin Is Different From Where You Live
The New Berlin Eisenhower High School football program — motto: When you gotta go, you gotta go — is under fire this week for the actions of its junior varsity team at halftime of a recent game against — and I'm not making this up — Pewaukee High.

Oh Happy Day

The guy...
TBS Executive Completely Drunk on Own Caliendo Juice
It's pretty easy to complain about those damn "Frank TV" ads that pop up seemingly every commercial break during TBS' postseason baseball coverage and pretty much everyone has. Even Frank Caliendo. (On a side note: I find the DirecTV ads featuring Craig T. Nelson and Heather O'Rourke even more troub...
Brent Musburger Offers Some Troubling News About Joe Paterno
Yesterday, ABC sportscaster Brent Musburger popped by the Dan Patrick show to talk about all things college football and one of the topics that came up was the remarkable success of Penn State this season under 82-year-old head coach Joe Paterno. But then the conversation turned a little grim. Musbu...

Tony Gonzalez to Chiefs: Thanks, You Have Ripped Out My Soul and Left Me For Dead
It was a little surprising to have Tony Gonzalez still stuck in Kansas City at the end of yesterday's riveting NFL trade deadline but the 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end's quest for a Super Bowl will apparently have to wait another lifetime. Even though Gonzalez had politely requested a trade while ...

You Can Take Our 240 Gallons Of Booze, But You'll Never Take Our Freedom!
