Irish Beers, Ranked
St. Patrick's Day is tough on a civic-minded, humanist boozebag. I love New Year's Eve and Thanksgiving Morning and Arbor Weekend and all the other "amateur hours" that too many self-proclaimed sophisticates haughtily dismiss, but Paddy's Day comes soaked with complications beyond the rivers of glit...
Barry Booker Brings Flipping The Bird To The SEC TV Table
SEC basketball legend and longtime ESPN/SEC analyst Barry Booker had beef with somebody off-camera during halftime of last night's Alabama-LSU bout at the Georgia Dome, and rather emphatically gave that person the middle finger as Dari Nowkhah attempted to bring viewers back live.

How Fast Has Your NFL Team Cycled Through Coaches?
Over at the TheSportsGeeks.com, Alex Chalupka has put together a pretty telling graphic on the tenure length of each NFL team's last three coaches.

Spencer Haywood, aka Weedie, aka Driftwood, had one of the most significant and controversial careers in professional basketball history, with a landmark Supreme Court victory at one end and a druggy, nearly violent washout at the other. His legacy is still very much in dispute. Last year, Haywood w...
Brandon Browner's Agent Handles Free Agency Reports At Rec Hockey Game

Steve Smith Is <em>Pissed</em>
Steve Smith is not the most measured man even in the happiest of times. So after being cut by Carolina after 13 years, it's no surprise that he's out for revenge. On WFNZ in Charlotte this morning, Smith had a promise for his new team—and a threat for his old one....
America Hates Male Nipples: FCC Viewer Complaints About The Super Bowl

There Is A Sad Little "Save Steve Smith" Rally Going On In Charlotte
