I Can Think Of No Better Metaphor For The Favre Situation Than This
How to say goodbye to the Wisconsin legend that is Brett Favre? Well, other than a life-sized statue made entirely of cheese, this giant corn maze will have to do. (Or would it be giant maize maze?). It's fitting, too; because visitors will take a confusing, roundabout journey where each new turn le...

Greg Norman Owns the British Open...Your Mom's Heart
Right now Norman's the leader at even par. Of course in 1986 Greg Norman won the "Saturday Slam" by leading all four major tournaments with one day to play. He only managed to win the British Open. He's also the only golfer to have lost a playoff at all four majors. I guess what I'm saying is, Greg ...

Essay Contest: Win a Date With LPGA Golfer Natalie Gulbis
Tme to sharpen those #2 pencils. The subject of the essay contest is "Who's Behind Your Success?" To be fair the contest actually specifies that you win a day with Natalie Gulbis and not a date. But that day is in Las Vegas. So have at it. Essays must be in by midnight on August 4. I suggest this op...

Brady Quinn: Bringing People Together Of All Persuasions
It's only speculation as to how many gay relationships have been started because of Brady Quinn. After all, his photo has been used to promote the M4M gay dating service for a couple of months now on Facebook pages across our great land....

The New York Mets Cannot Be Stopped By Man Nor Beast
One month ago, the Mets were 6 1/2 games out of first, had just fired their manager, and were the brunt of jokes by Yankees fans. Yankees fans were mocking them. Well, who's laughing now? David Wright hit a two-run homer in the ninth to tie it, and New York went on to a 10-8 win at Cincinnati to ext...

Tour de France Riders Just Can't Seem To Stop Cheating
As the riders begin the 13th stage of the Tour de France, the inevitable "doping scandal" is plaguing the sport again thanks to Saunier-Duval team rider Riccardo Ricco testing positive for the banned blood-booster EPO. Ricco won two Tour stages this year and tested positive during the 4th stage of t...

British Open co-leader? Rocco F'in Mediate
Fresh off his one-stroke 18 hole playoff loss to Tiger, the man, the myth, the legend, Rocco Mediate clocked in his first round at -1. So if you had a dream that man boobs were going to own the British Open and you rushed to Vegas to lay your money on Phil, you picked the wrong tits....

Mike Ditka's Balance Is Not What It Used To Be
I've never been to a celebrity roast for anyone but I like to think this happens every time. Paul Hornung takes the stage and welcomes the roastee to the rostrum, roastee is wasted, knocks over his own table when standing, and then crumbles to the ground when shoved by Hornung. See Mr. Bear's finest...

Drink Beer on the Islands? You're Supporting Hawai'i Athletics
If only all things in life were this easy. Now if they could figure out where this apostrophe in Hawai'i suddenly came from everything between me and the islands would be copacetic....

Manning "Reception" Is Everything You'd Imagine It Would Be
Sadly, there are no Village People moments like Brady Quinn had at his sister's wedding to A.J. Hawk, but if you do scroll through the lovely photo album, there are plenty of Manning-like moments that will clearly be cherished always. The New York Giants' quarterback appears to be coming out of his ...

At Long Last: T.O. and Jessica Simpson are buddies
In a hard-hitting interview with US Magazine, T.O. explains that he was joking about Jessica being bad luck for Tony Romo and the Cowboys. T.O. wishes good luck to the couple and per US Weekly, "I told her she is welcome to the stadium anytime. I told her she can come down and sit in my section, I’m...

Phil Mickelson and John Daly Might As Well Go Get Wasted in a Pub
Rolling into the British Open Phil Mickelson was optimistic this could be his year. By 10:30 eastern, we knew that wasn't the case. The Hefty Left swung his manboobs from one side of the fairway to the other on his way to a robust 79. At least he didn't waste any time taking himself out of competiti...

90-Year-Old Pittsburgh Woman Rocking New Steelers Tat
Probably to cover up for the fact that she can't have wet dreams about Steely McBeam anymore. Now that everyone on earth but me has a tattoo, will old people in the future who don't have tattoos be the exception? Deep thoughts....

Jay Glazer Finally Breaks Some Brett Favre-Related News
Noticeably absent during the whole Brett Favre telenovela has been Fox Sports' NFL dirt dog, Jay Glazer. The reporter and MMA tough guy broke so many stories last year (including Favre's retirement announcement) that it seemed odd he wasn't pumping out new Favre revelations, even as Chris Mortensen,...

Now You Can Own A Piece Of Rampage Jackson's Shredded Dignity
If one good thing came out of Quintin "Rampage" Jackson's police chase drama on Tuesday, it's that he's giving the SoCal economy a much-needed boost. First an enterprising young man snapped photos of the arrest in front of his house, and sold them to TMZ. And now it turns out that a guy grabbed the ...
