Tom Brady to Miss a Month?
Make of this what you will, but there is a yet-to-be-confirmed rumour floating out there that Tom Brady's foot injury may be worse than he's been letting on. Like, "out for four games" worse. From NFL Juice: ...
Does The Governor's Cup Also Contain The Governor's Jewels?
Louisville and Kentucky deserve credit today for saving us from the Sunday blahs by actually scheduling their game one full week before the bulk of the NFL slate gets underway (3:30, ESPN). No, it's not basketball, but it's a fun in-state rivalry, matching up teams that have recently been competitiv...
Would You Let This Woman Handle Your Stub?
I don't know how you feel about Jean Hsu (Jean who?) but that broad knows how to get into a tennis tournament. Somehow, she and a friend scored front row seats to an Andy Roddick match. Yeah, it's the national championship of tennis, but Andy Roddick? I guess they they just have a penchant to see ov...

Pre-Draft Fantasy Update: Fred Taylor To Split Carries, Arrested [UPDATED]
It's stories like this that give the phrase "arrested at 4 a.m. outside a South Beach Club" a bad name. Miami Beach police charged Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor with disorderly conduct yesterday outside the awesomely named "Club Cristal". Taylor wasn't jailed, but instead pinky-swore...
Starting 0-1 Hurts, And It Should
You know that the shittiness of a boring sports summer (with apologies to Michael Phelps) is subsiding when the universities of America put on their pads and start beating the hell out of each other again. But as great as the sport of college football is, it doesn't naturally lend itself to many tea...
It's Clemson. It's Alabama. It's A Live Blog, Sucka!
Here on the first college football Saturday of 2008, we've already seen the likes of Michigan, Virginia Tech, and Pittsburgh endure losses right out of the gate. And yet one more Top 25 team is guaranteed to wake up on Sunday morning with an 0-1 record. Will it be Clemson, led by the down-home Tomm...

Get Ready For The Los Angeles Saints In 2009...Maybe?
An unidentified partner of the man trying to bring the NFL back to Los Angeles told a local paper earlier in the week that he had "no doubt" that the city would be home to a pro team in 2009. And we report that with all apologies to USC. Of course, no team has been identified by the league (or anyon...
HUGH 3: Back In Training (Part 2)
We've enjoyed two big upsets today, and with the Clemson-Alabama game yet to come (and to be live blogged right here!), we can count on yet another Top 25 team eating the dirt before day's end. Most of you have weighed in on Virginia Tech, but there's still more football to be discussed. Get us your...

Skip Holtz Will Eat Your Children In Broad Daylight
Playing the role of the disgruntled Asian kid was the East Carolina football program, who hosted Virginia Tech this afternoon and pillaged the game after the Pirates returned a blocked punt for a touchdown in the last two minutes to give Skip Holtz a 27-22 win over the Hokies and our first upset of...

LSU Now 2-0 Against Teams That Recently Beat Michigan
The LSU Tigers have just finished up their tilit with Appalachian State, and it wasn't as close as some people expected. The Mountaineers, who of course beat Michigan at Michigan to kick off 2007, were trounced by the defending BCS champions (who beat Ohio State in the BCS title game, who had beaten...
Just Don't Follow Him to Any Golden Clubs
You've got to give the kid credit: he does not shy away from insurmountable expectations. After following in his father's legendary footsteps at Georgetown, Patrick Ewing Jr., son of NBA Hall of Famer (scans NBA almanac) Patrick Ewing, is now a New York Knick. It's already Junior's third team, and h...
HUGH 3: Return Of The King (Part 1)
Just a little tip when you're submitting your bits of brilliance to The Hugh Johnson on AOL Instant Messenger: Phallic references will almost always get you to the front of the line. Rips on Andre Ware and Pam Ward are always welcomed. Hey, whatever you're selling, we're buying. But now it's time to...
Whatever Happened to a Good Old Fashioned Headbutt?
Score one for the extraordinarily thin-skinned. A judge in Naples, Italy recently awarded 1500 Euro to a fan of the Napoli Football Club for "existential damages" he incurred while attending a match against Inter Milan. The cause of the damages? Banners. But not just any banners. Banners that made l...
Aye Carumba! Chad Johnson Changes Last Name To Ocho Cinco
So Bengals wideout Chad Johnson has legally changed his name to "Chad Javon Ocho Cinco." Which I guess is only slightly better than "Chad Javon GoldenPalace.com." Chad expects to play in the Bengals' season opener, despite suffering a dislocated shoulder in the preseason and creating more needlework...
