Tim Tebow Has A Steady Hand, We Hope
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is an amazing, versatile quarterback, able to chuck a pass 50 yards, turn the corner and a linebacker and plow over undersized defensive lineman. He's a Renaissance Man, a do-gooder, a man of America. His skills run deep. How deep? Trust us, you don't want to know....
Take A Tour Of Pacman's Crib
Now that he's headed for the bright, shining silver star of Dallas, Adam "Pacman" Jones no longer needs his digs in Tennesse. For just $1.8 million, you can move into 4282 N Chapel Rd in Franklin, and call this spacious, stripper-friendly abode your own....
Cliff Notes: Indians Say There's No Place Like Home
Cliff Lee and Progressive Field were both winners on Wednesday; although after the game one went out and celebrated, and the other spent the night covered with a tarp. Cleveland's stadium took the top spot in the Sports Illustrated fan survey for best Major League ballpark, and inspired by his home...
Get Ready For The Toronto Bills
The Buffalo Bills will cross the border and play five regular season games in Toronto over the next five seasons, becoming the first NFL team to play annual games outside of the U.S. And for their trouble, they'll receive $78 million. Did the French and Indian War accomplish nothing?...
NFL Draft Attendees Restore The Good Name Of The Fan
We didn't make it to the NFL Draft this weekend, because of a city ordinance that requires all professional bloggers to break out in hives when within a seven-mile radius of Mel Kiper. (That Bloomberg: Such a micromanager!) So we missed the brilliant fan getups on display....
Yo, Canadian
Apparently some hopped-up Habs fans thought they would take their trash-talking and intimidation techniques to new heights by desecrating the fabled Rocky statue just before one of the Canadiens and Flyers games. The culprit is this pig-masked individual, who appears to be part of some wacky Canadi...
Jeff Reed Will See Your Giant Dong And Raise You A Tiara And A Lady
Those ribald, pigskin miscreants at Thee Kissing Suzy Kolber have been gifted with a picture of Steelers' kicker Jeff Reed acting just like you'd expect Steelers' kicker Jeff Reed to act at a Las Vegas poolside bar. The three pictures of Reed show him wearing a sash, a bib and a tiara, or donning ...
Tony Romo Gambles Like He's Still In Charleston, Ill.
Want to know the perils of being a "superstar" Dallas Cowboys quarterback who tends to have some trouble getting his team out of the first round of playoffs? If you start dating a featherbrained "pop star," you might end up in Robin Leach's blog — Robin Leach's blog! — with stories about losing $2.5...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while getting ready for hybrid NASCAR cars ... • Arena football: Dallas at Philadelphia (8 p.m., ET). Jon Bon Jovi wants that trophy, dammit. [ESPN2] • MLB: New York Yankees at Cleveland (7 p.m., ET). All Winford Lauder employees admitted free tonight. [ESPN] • NBA: Eastern Conference ...
Karl Malone's Son Is No Son Of His
The best story from yesterday's five rounds of the NFL Draft has to be that of Demetrius Bell, an offensive lineman out of Northwestern State drafted by the Buffalo Bills. He's the son of former Mexican-girl-chasing NBA superstar Karl Malone. Not that either Malone or Bell is particularly happy abou...
Reviewing The NFL Draft, As If Anybody Knows Anything
Some "experts" — you know, the people who decide who did a great job in a draft mere hours after it was completed and before, uh, anyone so much as puts on more than a hat — were up on the New England Patriots' selections at the NFL Draft this weekend. We couldn't tell you, but we did love any and a...
Instead of Combat, Caleb Campbell Heading To The Lions. So, Yay?
Safety Caleb Campbell was the first nonkicker from Army ever invited to take part in the NFL combine. If he didn't get drafted, he would probably be serving as a second lieutenant in Iraq or Afghanistan by year's end. But Campbell was drafted in the 7th round. By the Detroit Lions. Bit of a Pyrrhic ...
Scouts, Inc. Would Like You TO RELAX
Ian from Sox & Dawgs sends over this screengrab of a tetchy exchange during ESPN's draft chat. What could Samantha in Atlanta be so interested in finding out? Determining how screwed the Falcons are with Matty Ice? Whether Al Horford can transfer his anger to the game of football?...
"Big Dick Bandit" Now A Raven
In case you thought the departure of Brian Billick would bring a new age of sterling character to the Baltimore Ravens, you are most definitely wrong. Among the more interesting second day picks came with two of the Baltimore Ravens' three 3rd round picks. With the 7th pick of the third round, they ...

The Chiefs Drafted...Well?
We've been cautioned and chastened by many a pundit over the years that it takes years to properly assess the success of any given draft. That may be true, but with the Chiefs unloading Jared Allen to the Vikings for picks, it was important for them to make a splash. Everything seemed to go their wa...

1st Round, Twentieth Overall: Buccaneers Select Aqib Talib
Talib blew off his scheduled visit with the Cowboys last month. Mario Manningham blew the Cowboys interview off at the Combine. Now I hate the stinkin' Cowboys as much as any kid who grew up a snowball's throw away from Veterans Stadium, but since when do NFL prospects blow off the Cowboys? They're ...
1st Round, Nineteenth Overall: Panthers Select Jeff Otah
Let's measure the Otah draft buzz throughout his career in decibels (dB): 1) Leaves JUCO as a lanky ex-basketball player; wins starting job at Pitt (10 dB; rustling leaves) 2) Stones Chris Long repeatedly in Virginia-Pitt game (70 dB; Space Shuttle launch in your kitchen) 3) Suffers minor injury in...
1st Round, Eighteenth Overall: Ravens Select Joe Flacco
Joe Flacco came from a bad neighborhood. Audubon, New Jersey, is rougher than the Little Rock with East St. Louis piled on top of it. Flacco graduated from Audubon High School, which is so rough that there are medal detectors in the faculty lounge, where even the math teachers are pumped up muscle m...
