The Dangers Of The Play-Calling Screens
You know how it goes. It's a hotly contested game of Madden, or NBA Live, or, say, NCAA Football 07, and you played your ass off and you lost on a last-second touchdown and you think your buddy was sneaking looks at your plays and you threw the controller across the room and you tried to get the l...
If Only There Were A Logical Time To Drink It ...
You know, we were fully aware that the Oklahoma-Texas football rivalry — if you missed it in all the playoff business roaming around these parts, they play this weekend — was a pretty big deal, but we'd always felt it lacked the critical component of beer....
Michael Lewis' Next Book Will Be About Field Goal Blockers
To start us off today, we'd like to bring you the most amazing blocked kick we've ever seen, from Mr. Mottram at Mr. Irrelevant.

A Complete Failure To Put A Body On McCoy
I shouldn't let the day pass without mentioning the exploits of Matewan High School running back Paul McCoy, who ran for 658 yards (though the local paper says 661) in a single game last night.
