You Can Lean On Him
So yesterday, it came out that San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel was arrested by the DEA for shipping codeine-based cough syrup to Texas. The substance, which mixed with "either soft drinks or drugs" (two entities we wouldn't imagine to be so easily interchangable), creates something called "l...
Jesus Has Nothing On Mike Holmgren
Lost in all the Terrell Owens madness yesterday was the strange, theologically earth-shattering news that Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander proclaimed he would play next week, despite his broken foot, because of the power of prayer....
The Human Being Vs. The Publicist
A legitimate question as we tie a big ribbon on this whole Terrell Owens suicide business for the day, which, we have to say, ESPN has done a rather outstanding — if predictably overdone — job of covering today:...

Getting You Up To Speed On Mr. Owens
Terrell Owens is expected to speak at 1:30 p.m. ET in front of his house, though probably not lifting weights. We'll be live-blogging that, because we're "alive" and a "blogger," after the jump....
Another Morning Terrell Owens Update
As we deal with the sustained brilliance of our comment section — seriously; you guys are absolutely setting the planet on fire this morning. The genius displayed on the T.O. story is out of control — we turn again to the attempted suicide of Terrell Owens. We have a feeling this might be the type o...
T.O. Tried To Kill Himself
So you know how Terrell Owens was rushed to the hospital last night, because of an "allergic reaction" to some pain medication? Well, a Dallas police report says it wasn't a bad reaction at all: It was a suicide attempt....
As Pink Taco Leaves, Leinart Arrives
As many of you know by know, the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals, ignoring pleas from the unwashed masses, have sold the naming rights to their new stadium. And, as would be expected, it's the most idiotic name possible: The University Of Phoenix Stadium. The name is confusing — so they're i...

In case you haven't quite had your fill of the Odell Thurman EXTREME DUI story, the Cincinnati Enquirer has your back this morning: Exclusive video of Odell's actual arrest....
Madden Curse Soon To Attack Rest Of Humanity

One Perfect Night In New Orleans. Let's Try To Make Sure There Are More
It's difficult to find much to make fun of from last night in New Orleans, a kinda shocking 23-3 Saints victory over the Falcons, except for maybe this lady's sign, which we've been looking at all morning with little more than the foggiest idea of what she's trying to say. (Yes ... Katrina was jus...
Welcome Back To New Orleans
It is somewhat of a relief, as viewed in the Spike Lee's amazing When The Levees Broke — still available on HBO On Demand, still highly recommended, if you have 4 1/2 hours to kill — to learn that as horrible as the circumstances were in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina last year, they weren...
Henry Vomits, But Isn't Arrested. Kudos, Chris!

Our Teams: A Requiem In Three Acts
I. So now it can be written and known: The spinning, sprinting 12-yard sideaways rugby punts are not, in fact, a device that has come to revolutionize the sport of football. Sorry, Coach Zook. Our Illini very well might be the worst team in Division I-A, and we see no reason they wouldn't lose to Ne...
NFL Roundup: Celebrate Good Times, Bengals!
Notes from Week 3 in the NFL......
NFL Week Three, Update #4
• The Giants have taken an interesting approach to the year, electing to only play in 2nd halves of games. The strategy is to build an overconfident feeling in the opponent, and then pounce and take advantage in the second half. The downside is that they always have a huge deficit to overcome, but t...
NFL Week Three, Update #3
• There are a couple of ass-poundings going on, both of them, I believe, directly influenced by the Eagles collapse last week. The Giants are experiencing a massive letdown, and the Eagles are pissed off about it. The Giants are down 35-0 to the Seahawks, and the Eagles are molesting the 49ers, 24-3...
NFL Week Three, Update #2
• All but two of the early afternoon games are going down to the wire. The only teams to wrap up victories before the final minutes were the Jets and the Redskins. I'm not going to go so far as to say that a college team could actually compete against the Texans, but I believe Ohio State could score...
