Your Halloween Costume Was Not This Good
I went to two pretty decent Halloween parties last weekend and saw a lot of clever costumes—Tony Stark with glowing chest plate, Anton Chigurh, Carmen Sandiego, Sewer Urchin, half the cast of "The Maltese Falcon," two Sarah Palins, 16 Jokers, and a dude in a Chinese gymnast leotard. But none—none—of...

Brandon Marshall Would Like to Get a Few Things Off His Chest
The Miami Dolphins walloped the Denver Broncos this past Sunday 27-16 and leading the post-game victory gloating was, of course, linebacker Joey Porter.

Allen Iverson Traded: The Day After
So Allen Iverson is now a Piston. And Chauncey Billiups is heading back to Colorado. And the world now knows the name Cheikh Samb.

The Real Question Here Is, Who Felt The Need To Foul Him?

Election Night: An Excuse To Stay Up Past 8:30
Well, it's here. When I was a kid, Election Night was one of the few nights of the year I was allowed to stay up past 8:30. (Seriously, my bedtime was 8:30 until I was a freshman in high school. And you wonder why I still wet the bed.) I never knew who any of the candidates were, or even what the "...
It's North Carolina Against The World
College basketball gets underway sooner than you expect, so it's probably time to roll out our 341-day team-by-team preview of the forthcoming season.

As you may have heard, the NFL is out to hunt down and destroy boorish fan behavior at its solemn and dignified Sunday skull crushing meetings.
