Perhaps More of This Winning Will Get Them a Sponsor
Who needs some fancy sponsor when you've got a new manager in Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola?

West Ham picked up their third consecutive win at Upton Park behind...
Hugh There With the Sideburns; Yeah, HUGH!
All of the games so far today are still in their infancy (though the suspense has completely been extinguished in the contests involving Penn St., Alabama and Georgia Tech), which means we shall turn to our good friend "the dick joke" to get us through the early afternoon. But before we do that, wo...

Okay, so maybe Nick Faldo isn't a total putz. While his two best golfers rode around in golf carts all morning the Europeans managed to put a dent in the early US lead. Rose and Poulter earned them a full point when they avenged yesterday's fourball loss to the Cink-Campbell pairing while Jimenez an...

Chipper Is Cold-Blooded, Giggly
Forgive my Judaism, but I've never been known to partake in the sport of trophy hunting, especially when the trophy is so deliciously nonkosher.

And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...

He's Just Your Average Octogenarian Bodybuilder Who Will Not Die
Hmm. Yes, I guess this could technically be categorized as "Nightmare Fuel" but at the same time, there is something comforting in the fact that 80-year-old bodybuilders like Ray Moon do exist. Actually, not all. These men should only exist in the darkest corners of a mescaline-ravaged mind or a Gui...
