Of Monday Hangovers, Booty Calls, And The Biggest Upset In College Football History
To put Stanford's win over USC into the proper perspective this morning, you should know that the Stanford Tree woke up with a raging hangover, empty tequila bottles strewn about his apartment and a pair of panties dangling from his upper branches. OK, that just means it's Monday. For real perspect...
Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...

Gamblers Can Finally Take a Deep Breath
New England was up ten when they went for it on 4th and Goal late in the game. For someone like me, with fair amount of money invested in a 17 point spread (or 16.5 if you were lucky), this is where things got nutty. Just as it looked that Cleveland would run out the clock (if Romeo can't win he can...

Another Devastating Injury For Trent Green
That was the last thing anyone wanted to see. After coming back from a scary injury last season Trent Green took a knee right to the side of the head when he went low to lay a block for his teammate.

Defective Trojans Produce Disastrous Results
Ho-ly shit. In what can only be described as delightful surprise the Stanford Cardinal (Stanford!) upended USC in the biggest D1-on-D1 upset of the season decade. It marked the Trojans first loss at the Colosseum in their last 34 outings. I'm not sure Pete Carrol will ever sleep again after dropping...
