Playoff Pants Party: Patriots Vs. Jets
To think about this game, we like to compare not Eric Mangini and Bill Belichick, but, in fact, Mangini and Tom Brady. We think there might not be too physically different human beings on the planet. One of these days, Mangini should just eliminate the middleman and coach in a mumu....
Art Shell Would Like To Know How Much Toner You Think He Should Order
Oh boy, another position for Pete Carroll to consider. Not that there's anything funny about a guy losing his job, but what amused us about the sacking of Art Shell on Thursday was that Al Davis is going to make him stick around and do office work during the final year of his contract next season,...
Playoff Pants Party: Seahawks Vs. Cowboys
We didn't talk much about this, but the reason for our trip to Argentina? An attempt to further check out the genealogy of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. (Turns out he is not, in fact, Argentinian.) It's still pretty amazing that Romo is in the Pro Bowl; if the Cowboys lose this game, he's gonna l...
Can You Have Steeltown Without Cowher?
The platitudes people hand out when a prominent figure retires or dies can become so banal and repetitive that one ultimately finds oneself almost disliking the departed as a backlash; see Slate's Jack Shafer's look at how journalists covered Gerald Ford's death, as one example. But we have to say: ...
SHOTY Final: Chris Berman Vs. Barbaro
Well, while we were gone, the late rush of Barbaro votes came in, and he edged out Carl Monday right after the new year, sending him into the final with, of course, Chris Berman, who has yet to be challenged. We suspect he's in for one now....
Playoff Pants Party: Colts Vs. Chiefs
Because we're just now back and getting around to previewing these playoff matchups — jeez, we missed the whole playoff picture clearing up; we were gone longer than we realized — we thought we'd toss in one of these playoff previews today so the site isn't run over with them tomorrow....
It's An Amazing Elusive And Powerful Back Who Doesn't Kill Ex-Wives And Waiters
We always found it strange that people were considering anyone other than Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson for the MVP this year; we like Drew Brees as much as anyone — including his mother, of course — but we couldn't imagine not giving it to Tomlinson....
We'd Like To Hear Summerall Broadcasting
This happened in 2006, so it's the very definition of old news, but we're still kind of tickled pink about it, and that's not a euphemism....
The Royal We Is Back, And So Are We
If you were wondering what a man looks like after a 12 1/2-hour flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile, to Toronto to New York City — particularly when his luggage is still in Toronto, presumably being delivered by mounties this evening — this is what he looks like: Haggard, but full...
Tubby Smith's Ineptitude Captured Through Majesty of Song
The delirious, one-track mind of University of Kentucky basketball fan "Katman", author of Tubby Smith bashing blog Dynasty Defenders, has reached a new level of absurdity thanks to this recently released "music" video which aims to spread the word of his deranged gospel via this YouTube masterpiec...
Take Me Home, Country Load
There isn't a lede in the world that could possibly do this Georgia Tech fan's Gator Bowl experience any justice, so I'll just go right to the recap:...
Nick Saban Brings Promise, Destruction to Alabama
Nick Saban and his presidential motorcade rolled into Tuscaloosa late yesterday afternoon may have startled gawking locals distracted by the big, fancy automobile rolling through town, as the Tuscaloosa News reports that "Saban's Motorcade Distracts Drivers":...
Tiger Mauls Helpless Leprechaun As Charlie Weis Looks On And Does Nothing
We are happy to report that the Sugar Bowl was one of several games available on iTunes this year, so we hope all of you Notre Dame fans took advantage of that. Just the thing to view over and over again during church. After LSU's 41-14 win Wednesday night — the Irish's ninth straight bowl defeat ...
Good Morning: And Did You Rush to the Phone to Call?
Morning again, Spinheads. Let's start off our last few hours together by acknowledging some of the things I missed yesterday from the Department of Batshittery — only because I was too preoccupied with Song Girl pooper:...
Matt Leinart Nurses Ailing Shoulder with Glute Pinching Exercises
Rumors are swirling about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart's ailing shoulder, and whether or not said shoulder should be put under such duress as it must have been while allegedly throwing Britney Spears all over the place last weekend and playing Redbirds Grabass with many an ususpecti...

Giants v. Eagles: Indulge Me
Once again Philadelphia and New York's respective media communities are doing their best spur the rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants before their Wild Card game on Sunday. You can find the usual round of jibber jabber: Brandon Short astutely stating that Philadelphia's f...
Now Boarding The Arizona Cardinals Plane ... Pete Carroll?
Our fearless leader Will Leitch is on vacation for one more day, which means that we can speculate rampantly on the next Arizona Cardinals head coach without fear of nail gun puncture wounds. May we say right at the outset, Steve Mariucci? Ha, that felt good....
K-Fed Will Totally Kick Your Ass, Bitches
When our chimp-like ancestors first descended from the trees and began walking upright about 6 million years ago, little did they know that it would lead to this. You should have warned us, Charles Darwin. Damn you to hell!...
Every Bowl Game Will Most Likely Be a Letdown From Here on Out
Tonight's Orange Bowl game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starts at 8 p.m., so consider this the post to keep comments lit up . Or I could just put up another Darrent Williams post and let people scream and yell all over that as they did last night. Considering la...
