Michael Irvin Brings The Love
What is love, exactly? What is it that brings people together, two become one, living in the sacred state of holy matrimony? (Well, as long as it's not two dudes, anyway.)...
Ricky's Canadian Debut
Ricky Williams made his Canadian Football League debut last night in a pre-season exhibition game for the Toronto Argonauts. It looks like Ricky's domination of the Canadian game is not a given. He had seven yards on four carries. And I think his numbers get even worse when you consider the exchan...
Sean Taylor Free To Visit All Kinds Of DJs Now
One of our favorite, quietly sublime stories of the last couple months involved Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor and his battle with a prosecutor who worked as a DJ in his spare time. (His MySpace page included the immortal self-description as a bulging-biceps, headphones-wearing prosecutor ...
Carson Palmer's Charitable Contributions
From what we understand from various Cincinnati residents, the act of "cornholing" is quite big in the area....
Santonio Holmes Already Becoming A Fine Replacement For Plaxico Burress
Former Ohio State receiver and Pittsburgh Steelers #1 draft pick Santonio Holmes was arrested in South Beach early Saturday morning, and unfortunately, it was not for masturbating in a public library. He's charged with disorderly conduct, and police say that he disrupted traffic and was verbally a...
Ironhead Heyward Passes Away
Craig "Ironhead" Heyward has passed away at the age of 39. He'd been battling a brain tumor for more than seven years, and it finally got the better of him. I think most people will remember him for four things, not necessarily in this order: 1) An outstanding college career at Pitt. 2) A non-quit...
Hey, It Worked In The Warriors
Our affection for Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson is well-documented, so we're obviously down right giddy to see that, in the offseason, Johnson has, inexplicably, decided to grow a mohawk....
A Brief History Of Quincy Carter
For those who remember, and for those who can't forget:...
Jake Plummer, Terror On The Road
It's easy to forget now, but for a while there last year, Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer was having a pretty cool year. The Broncos had the best record in football, some were touting him as an MVP candidate and some even thought he could lead the team to the Super Bowl. And then the blowout and ...
We Mean Not To Offend, Joey
Now ... we are going to tread very carefully here ... we don't want any trouble ... we are just reporting facts ......
Football, The Anime Way
Inspired by our scary Japanese baseball video yesterday, the gang at The Postmen dug up this apparent Japanese anime instructional video for how to play the game of American football....
Seminoles Institute New "Anti-Cocaine" Policy
Some bad news for Jon Kreft, that Florida State recruit who was arrested for having cocaine in his ass (that's a crime??!!): The Seminoles have rescinded their scholarship offer. He clearly has failed to met the exemplary moral standards expected of the students of Florida State University....
It's All About That Inside Post Position
Jon Kreft is a seven-foot-tall, Uwe Blab of a center, and he's the top recruit coming to Florida State next year....
Maurice Drew Hates Your Nerd Ass Too
We received this photo of former-UCLA, now-Jacksonville running back Maurice Drew a while back, and we decided not to run it, mainly because it's hard to blame a guy when someone decides to take a picture of a guy holding a blunt next to him while sleeping. Besides, that fellow looks like a really f...
Come Gather Round, Children
Well, this should be awfully entertaining: It's the Terrell Owens Youth Football Camp!...
Buzzsaw Asks Leinart To Tone It Down A Tad
You know, it's one thing to have only one playoff victory in 40 years, or to have a never hosted a playoff game in the nearly 20 years you've been in your new home....
"Hey, Let's Play 'Seventeen' Again." "Yeah, Bro!"
We'd like to thank Boston.com for this staggeringly brilliant photo of Doug Flutie, bringing some goddamn RAWK....
Dolphins Not Liable For Future Damages, So You Know
We don't mean to imply that the Miami Dolphins are covering their tailfeathers a bit with Marcus "New Mexico" Vick, whom they just signed to a free agent contract, but here's what was included in the official press release about the signing....
Goodnight, Sweet Dougie; May Your Dreams Involve Much Frantic Scrambling
He made it official earlier today at a press conference in waterlogged Foxborough: that scrappy, lovable Doug Flutie has finally retired, at the age of 43. As disappointed as we are to see Flutie retire — we always kind of figured he'd play until he was 60 — we are relieved as well; Flutie seems l...
Joey Porter, Security Risk
As almost everyone surely remembers from last season's Pittsburgh Steelers postseason run, linebacker Joey Porter is insane. Porter's patented crazy land technique is, to make sure he's appropriately pumped up for whatever endeavor he is about to undertake, concoct some insult or slight that his o...
