He Might Get More Votes Than Mike Gravel
You've been blinded by the breathtaking brilliance of Digger Phelps on ESPN for years. Somehow, in the vast barren nation of banality, Phelps has been a beacon of hope and brilliance. So much so that, sheesh, we should elect him President!...
Point Afters Only Belong In Back Issues Of SI
Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon....
Boxing Just Wants To Host Keggers
Boxing's popularity might be on the wane, to say the least (among white people, anyway), but Roy Jones Jr. is not afraid to be innovative. He's searching everywhere for an untapped base of fans, and he's even willing to join a frat to do it....
Marlins-Nationals Always Brings In The Big Crowds
We know it's the middle of September, and it's still kind of hot out, and everyone's back at work and concentrating on their jobs — really! — so not many have time to just head to Dolphins Stadium and watch two lousy teams play each other. But 400 people? 400? Really?...
Appalachian State Fans Are Still, Well, Appalachians
We can understand that Appalachian State fans would want to remember their upset victory over Michigan forever, keep it close to them so that, in moments of despair, they can remember that anything is possible, that the world can be a transformative place. (Particularly when Michigan is terrible.) B...
Steely McBeam Gets Him Some Lady Lovin'
What is it about the Pittsburgh Steelers that women find so attractive? Is it The Dreamboat that is Ben Roethlisberger? The prospect of folding and laundering extra towels? The memory of this? The answers are shrouded in mystery. But the fact is that they just do: According to a recent marketing sur...
Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
At Last, Ned Has His Opportunity At Revenge
Sure, you can talk all you want about Michigan-Notre Dame — and the apparent curse of Bo Schembechler — but the real story this weekend is what's happening at the Orange Bowl on Saturday. That's right: It's the return of Ned!...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as global warming melts your cold, indifferent heart ... • MLB: Atlanta at New York Mets. It's Mr. Met's September victory lap. [ESPN] • Chicago Cubs at Houston. Back into first, or slip 'n slide toward doom? [WGN] • UFC: UFC Unleashed. It's either this or 5 a.m. women's soccer. [Spike...
Hawaii Loves Its Haka
The Hawaii Rainbows have taken, to fire themselves up, to doing the Haka before games. The Haka is mostly famous for being the intimidating pregame ritual for the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. Now the Rainbows do it, mostly because their name is the Rainbows. But the WAC is not happy about it,...
Vote Boulware! (Or Something)
When we think about NFL players of the last 10 years or so we'd imagine running for office someday, we can't say that former Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware was the first guy to come to mind. He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...
PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life
We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with p...
The NFL Should Combat All Those Who Hurt Its Image
In an age of unprecedented NFL scandals, and player being suspended every which way for conduct detrimental to the league, "satire" blog Pray For Mojo brings up something that's ridiculous, yet just based in truth enough to seem a little scary: Suspensions for Tom Brady and Matt Leinart for having c...
You Should See His ... Well, You Know
Cricket is a man's sport. You don't tend the wickets without paying the price, as Engalnd's Dave Morrison shows here in that bastion of journalism integrity and excellence, The Sun. Actually I know nothing of cricket, or the British health care system, but one thing I do know: Dave gives the best e...
Karma Smiles On The Buffalo Bills
As you've surely heard by now, there's some fantastic news about Bills tight end Kevin Everett: He's moving, and doctor's think he'll walk again....
Does Anyone On Earth Own A Fathead?
We ask with genuine curiosity: Who in the world puts a Fathead on their wall? What started out as an odd marketing campaign with Ben Roethlisberger screaming at us to "get a Fathead," or "be a Fathead," or whatever, has clearly grown into ... well, a larger marketing campaign. We've never quite seen...
Will This Be Belichick's Watergate?
So you suppose the question now is: What did Bill Belichick know, and when did he know it? After a Patriots staffer was busted videotaping the Jets sideline on Sunday, the NFL checked out the confiscated tape and — cover your ears, Simmons! — determined that the guy was stealing coaches' signs. Ther...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you arrive a day late for the party ... • WNBA: Finals, Game 3: Detroit at Phoenix. Hey, throw some of them free tickets my way, gals. [ESPN2] • MLB: Yankees at Blue Jays. Begin dome-closing sequence ... now. [Yes Network] • Soccer: Euro 2008 qualifying, England vs. Israel. Dropping...
Well, Shoot, Then Just Let Tubby Toss It
Giants dead man walking Tom Coughlin hasn't announced a starter for Sunday's game against the Packers yet, but it seems pretty likely, in the wake of Eli Manning's partially separated shoulder, that Jared Lorenzen is gonna take snaps for the NYG next week. (At least, Chris Mortensen says so, and he'...
Do You Have Irish-Wolverines Fever?
If you didn't get your fill of quality football from that train wreck at Monster Park last night, worry not: You still have the Notre Dame-Michigan game to look forward to this Saturday. Yes, the 0-2 Fighting Irish travel to the 0-2 Wolverines in a game that has all the intrigue of two 80-year-old m...
