Bernie Kosar Will Lead Cleveland To A Championship, Just You Wait
Good news, everybody! The Arena Football League (motto: It's Like Football In Your Garage, Only Without The Danger Of Sharp Tools) is coming to Cleveland! And Bernie Kosar will be the team president and CEO. The team will retain the name Gladiators until they come up with a better one. Any ideas?...
Jimmy Kimmel Doesn't See What All The Fuss Is About

Nobody Knows Crushing Losses Like A Boiler
Before Purdue's shellacking at the hands of Michigan last week, three Boilermakers team managers decided to run onto the field and recreate the famous blocked field goal at the end of the Appalachian State game....
Beware The NDSU Bison
We don't mean to imply that there might be something weird happening with the BCS computer rankings, but ... North Dakota State is currently No. 18 in the Sagarin ratings....
Meet Eric "Whizzer" Schnupp
The man you see here is Eric Schnupp, the offensive line coach for the Baylor Bears. Saturday afternoon was a rough one for Schnupp and his team; they lost 58-10 to undefeated Kansas. Fortunately, Schnupp was unfazed by the shellacking and found a way to inspire his troops....
MNF Still Haunts Joe Theismann's Corpse
Kimmel's quote: "And we welcome Joe Theismann watching from his living room with steam coming out of his ears." You know, we wouldn't mind seeing that, actually....
A Nice Night For A Boring MNF Game
We have to thank ESPN today. It's an awfully active sports night tonight, with two League Championship games, including one that could secure one half of the World Series, and, just to make matters easier, they've provided us with an incredibly dull Monday Night game....
You Must Be Above This Age To Ride This Ride
Four days ago, we might have been impressed by Mike Flynt, a 59-year-old man who lived his dream by playing a college football game over the weekend. But we are now in the age of Vinny....
Quincy Carter Hits Bottom Again
Once again our Arena League II fantasy team has been thrown into disarray with the news that Quincy Carter has been arrested on drug-related charges. As you know, Carter most recently played for the AFL's minor league Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings, but now resides in the Caddo Correctional Center ...

My, That Looks Like A Delicious Sandwich ...
Look, I'm not one to ask questions. When a picture of Erin Andrews eating a sandwich shows up in my e-mail inbox, I post it. It's as simple as that, really. Now ... who's hungry?...
NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over ...
Get Hammered With Lou Holtz
We're still rather amazed by Lou Holtz's magic trick, so perhaps that's clouding our judgment, but we're really starting to fall in love with Holtz's weekly "pep talks." They're bizarre, out-of-place and entirely self-contained, to the point that we find ourselves legitimately pepped! Fire us up, Lo...
It's Scary Down There In Baton Rouge
Last weekend, the genius that is Orson Swindle at Every Day Should Be Saturday attended the Florida-LSU game in Baton Rouge. We've never been to an SEC football game, but, man, do we want to now. We've never heard a better description of the madness of college football Saturday in the South than thi...
Ron Zook, Illinois And Our Spinning Brains
We have resisted as long as we can: We now, to finish our day, talk about the Illini. And what better way to do so than through the restless guns of Ron Zook....
The Jayhawks PR Staff Has Their Coach's Back
This is the actual picture, and headline, that has been up on KuSports.com all day. Yes they did, Coach: Yes. They. Did....
The Bills Get The Monday Night Football Buzzsaw Treatment
Perhaps this is now going to become a yearly ritual on "Monday Night Football:" Franchise that rarely plays on Monday night shocks undefeated, heavily favorite road team and seemingly secures the win four or five times, thanks to the poor play of the young opposing quarterback. And then they lose in...
Monday Night Football Makes The Bills Want To Shout
As everybody keeps telling us on the TV set, it has been 13 years since the Bills were on "Monday Night Football," which is amazing, considering even the Buzzsaw has been on three times since then. (And lost all three, of course.) This is the opportunity for all of you with Trent Edwards fever to sc...
