Drug Dealers Are Terrible Character Witnesses
Time for a Pacman Jones update, because now that all the newspapers are finally catching up on the story of his weekend in Vegas, we figured we should help keep them updated. (With a local TV news, of course.) Turns out, one of Pacman's buddies is a drug dealer in Tennessee, and he was taped recentl...
Dick Vitale, Not Surprisingly, Can't Figure Out His Phone
It is perhaps not surprising that MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER Dick Vitale would have trouble using basic cellular technology, but it is surprising that Vitale might actually say something off-camera that could be construed as "controversial." Or, for that matter, that he would say anything; we always assum...
Sure, Coach, I'll Take Some
University of Central Florida basketball head coach has some to give, and he doesn't quite know who to share it with. So he asks. And then, oh, does he give it out....
The First Rule Of The Super Bowl Is, You Do Not Talk About The Super Bowl... Or The Big Game
The NFL, of course, has the term "Super Bowl" trademarked, so you can't use those particular words to promote any kind of a party or gathering for the event. Not only is it illegal, but if you close your eyes and say "Super Bowl" three times, Ed Hochuli will appear in front of you and rip your godda...
Broncos RB Damien Nash Is Dead At 24
Nash collapsed after a charity basketball game he was hosting, and was pronounced dead at 6:41 p.m. No details or cause of death are available as of the time of this post....
I Agree Completely, He Really Shouldn't Have Made It Rain
I hope that one more post doesn't overdo it on the Pacman Jones story, but I did particularly enjoy this report from WSMV in Nashville. One line in particular really does tell you all you need to know. "He shouldn't have made it rain, then." Yes....
Dominic Rhodes Has A Secret That's Running Down His Leg
Earlier this week, when would-be Super Bowl MVP Dominic Rhodes was arrested for a DUI, we kind of let it pass. DUIs happen all the time, are more tragic than funny and there didn't seem to be any extenuating circumstances about the arrest. He was pulled over, he was over the legal limit, he got bust...
Matt Millen Laughs At The Pain He Causes You
You know, we're starting to think that the only things that would survive a nuclear holocaust would be cockroaches, Kevin Federline and Matt Millen. And at least the cockroaches would feel kind of guilty about it....
Pacman Jones Doesn't Like To Make It Rain
Time for your Pacman Jones update ... and it's a fun one. Everybody's favorite bouncer biter is in even more trouble today, as the search warrant for him has been made public. All kinds of doozies in here:...
Ghosts Closing In On Pacman Jones
So our pal Pacman Jones is still having some trouble with that whole strip club shooting in Las Vegas over the weekend. In fact, he appears to be smack in the middle of everything....
The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches
The fine folks at Yellow Chair Sports, amused by the Norv Turner retreads of the world, have put together this handy flowchart of NFL coaching changes. It's awfully inventive — you probably need to see the large version to truly get it all — and features both an extended middle finger and Wayne Font...
Jim Sorgi Is Willing To Scrounge For Endorsement Opportunities
Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Jim Sorgi — he of the crushed larynx and perpetual clipboard — apparently has a stiled, if bemused, sense of himself: He is actually applying to be the Maytag repairman spokesperson....
We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert
Look, we're still a little unclear on why the University of Florida's mascot statue, Albert the Alligator, was placed on the Ohio State campus recently (some kind of a Nike promotion or something). All we know is that it took more than five hours for students there to destroy it, which is simply una...
Go Vandy ... And Duck!
Even though it's Vanderbilt that's being fined for their fans running on the court, this video shows that the real bad guy might have been the Florida player who punch a fan in the face....
Chargers Blogdome: Norv!
We kind of can't believe Norv Turner is back coaching in the NFL. here's what they're saying about the Norv Turner hire in San Diego ......
A Strip Club Incident That Might NOT Have Featured Pac Man Jones
You know, it almost seems natural: When there's a triple shooting in Las Vegas at a strip joint called Minxx Gentleman's Club, you tend to just assume Pac Man Jones was involved. (Or Stephen Jackson. Maybe Olin Kruetz.) Jones says, though, that rumors saying that he had something to do with it are f...
A Very Brady Ash Wednesday
As was discussed here over the weekend, Tom Brady is going to be a daddy! (We've already got our baby shower gift picked out). It's never our place to judge, but we can't help but wonder how this whole thing is playing at home with the folks. Not only is their son not planning to marry the mom, actr...
Tom Brady's Sperm Is Clutch
Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady have been broken up for a while, but a few months ago, she gave him time to set up in the pocket, and he delivered. Moynahan is pregnant, and the baby, according to various reports, is Tom Brady's. The fetus has already been offered several scholarships....
Vanderbilt Was Determined To Deny Joakim Noah The Ball
Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings isn't like most coaches. A lot of guys will tell their team to protect the ball, but won't practice what they preach. Kevin Stallings not only will protect the ball, but he'll put a body on Joakim Noah, too....
Could We Be In Danger Of Losing Michael Irvin?
The New York Post, which is never ever wrong, tosses out some potentially fun Michael Irvin/ESPN gossip this morning....
