Dolphins Center Mike Pouncey's Newest Tattoo: Teardrop Andrew Jackson, Trollface Ulysses S. Grant, And Old West Bank Robber Ben Franklin
You have to admire the commitment to civic-mindedness, history, and patriotism, but that is one ugly tattoo. We do like giving Andrew Jackson the teardrop tattoo—a tattoo within a tattoo, probably symbolic of Old Hickory's involvement with the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that set in motion the Trail ...
The United Football League Is Too Broke To Finish The Season

Three Years Later, Sad Clemson Fan Rides Again
A little over three years ago, the ESPN studio crew could barely keep it together on the air (and didn't even try off the air) while watching the above display of raw emotion. Clemson came back from a 24-point deficit against Georgia Tech only to lose by a field goal, and one Tigers fan broke the ...
Your College Football Open Thread
Some pretty excellent options on the first weekend post-BCS rankings: noon brings LSU at Texas A&M in College Station, while the afternoon has a good-ish match-up between Texas Tech and TCU (the match-up there being, of course, between technology and Christianity), the battle of the University and t...

The Chargers’ PR Director Writes A Bitchy Letter To Chargers Fans
One of the most recent articles posted under the "News" tab at Chargers.com has "Take A Chill Pill" as its headline. That's an odd headline to see on an official team site that usually just runs straight, boring news stories about the Chargers....
Will Terrell Suggs Save The Struggling Ravens' Defense, Or Will He Doom It?

Captain Greenbeard Invites You Upon His Ship, The <em>S.S. Acid Flashback</em>
Oregon continued on its path of destruction last night, obliterating Todd Graham's Arizona State team in Tempe in a game that wasn't near as close as the score might indicate.

Russell Wilson Getting The Football Snapped Into His Ass Summed Up The Seahawks' Offense
San Francisco 13, Seattle 6: Oh, this was not for the faint of heart. Yet another low-scoring NFC West scramble for yards, points, and general attention span of all those who bore witness to this borefest. Alex Smith and Russell Wilson both threw ill-timed and sloppy INTs that could've titled the re...

Little League Football Assistant Coach Viciously Slaps Referee After Disputed Call
Meet Dion Robinson: a 43-year-old ex-con and soon to be former assistant football coach in a youth football league in West Park, Florida—weird.

South Carolina Fan Arrested For Mooning The Crowd At LSU Game
You do get the feeling that Saturday night's game would have been extra-frustrating for a Gamecocks fan who traveled all the way from South Carolina only to watch his No. 3 team get upset in Baton Rouge.
