College Football Preview: Y'all Better Recognize Joe Pa Wants His Daps, Yo
The eyes of the college football world shift to Nashville, Tennessee this weekend where the mighty Vanderbilt Commodores will be hosting Auburn. This is a huge game for Vandy.

Thursday Night Football Previews: Pitt at South Florida; Oregon State at Utah
Thursday night college football arrives with a televised double-header. ESPN brings us Pittsburgh at South Florida and something called the Versus Network brings us Oregon State at Utah.

NFL Reserves Want To Protect Your Marriage
Some people would argue that the best way to measure the popularity of your cause is by the celebrities who are willing to line up to endorse it. Well, if a backup defensive end for the San Diego Chargers and a current NFL "free agent" aren't enough star power to convince Californians to put a stop ...

Ocho Cinco: Excuse Me, While I Kiss This Star
You've got to give props to Chad Formerly-Johnson, whose talents as a receiver are almost equal to his marketing acumen. Managing once again to somehow keep an 0-4 team in the spotlight, he vowed on Wednesday to score a touchdown and kiss the Dallas star when the Bengals play in Irving on Sunday. Bu...

The Ron Zook Water Skiing Zapruder Film
So The Big Ten Network has this reality show about the Illinois football team called "The Journey."

We Knew This Might Happen When Tom Brady Went Out For The Season
Don't tell Mr. Iracane I said this, but there are times when someone is interested in your fantasy team. Case in point: This somewhat hilarious case from Florida, where murder nearly resulted from a spat over a handful of fantasy football points. "Only one point for a 50-yard field goal? I cut you!"...

Did Kendra Wilkinson Dump Hank Baskett?
I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just going to say it: Apparently, Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkinson are no longer together. (Some are taking the news kind of hard). It's sad, because if these two crazy kids can't make it, what chance do the rest of us have? The horrible details, and the man...

Terrell Owens Loves His Quarterback, Not "Sheshawn" Johnson
T.O. would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few things. Yes, it sounded like he was complaining when he said that 18 throws and 2 running plays called in his honor was not enough involvement in the Dallas Cowboys game plan, but he seriously holds no ill will towards his coach, owner, offen...

Ex-Bronco Travis Henry's New Career Not Working Out So Well
It's safe to say that Travis Henry's last year or so has been a little rough.

Ocho Cinco Knows How To Cure The Bengals: It's Time To Par-tay
The Artist Formerly Known As Chad Johnson does not want to go to that strip club.

But damn it, he will do it for the team. No sacrifice ...

Afternoon Blogdome: Did We Forget To Mention It's Almost Hockey Season?
Honest Rip: Either Richard Hamilton is running for President in the 1860s or he's gone all "Witness" on us and joined the simple Amish life. Ask him about his butter churner!

Middle Tennessee State University Owns the Hail Mary
For about 59 minutes and 56 seconds it appeared that MTSU's blackout was going to be as successful as Georgia's. Then, in final four seconds, MTSU's Joe Craddock lifted a pass and the blackout took over. That's the only explanation for what Florida Atlantic's defensive backs were doing on the fin...

ALDS Preview: Rays Vs. White Sox
The Tampa Bay Rays are in the playoffs. Let it roll off your tongue. Toss it around. Swish it a bit. Look at the sentence closer. It might be a palindrome. The Tampa Bay Rays Are In The Playoffs.

Gators Now Answering To A Higher Power
Florida suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday, and Christ — who apparently had a few sheckles on the outcome — is not amused. So he distpatched Eric Brown, the 31-year-old minister at Gainesville's Campus Church of Christ, to keep Tim Tebow out of trouble for the next few weeks. Brown, a...
