What they're saying out in the ether about LSU's 38-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game ......

Joe Gibbs Decides That's Just About Enough
All told, and we mean no offense to the legend here, but we think we preferred the older, fatter Joe Gibbs to the one we see today....

If Someone Had To Be Called "Champ," Might As Well Be LSU
We hope LSU fans do not take it as an insult that hardly anyone considers their title legitimate; every season has to crown one champion, however the champion is crowned, and LSU is fortunate enough to be that team. More power to them; they deserve it, we supposed. But let's skip the charade....

Geaux Back to Columbus
Thanks to the omniscience of the Bowl Championship Series we can officially crown the Louisiana State Tigers as the National Champions Elect of College Football. And while we're at it, let's all give a big thanks to Ohio State for keeping things interesting for a few minutes longer than the last tim...

Finally Time To Put The College Football Season To Rest
OK, we are finally here. The college football season, at last, ends tonight in New Orleans. You know it's an important game in a SERIOUS locale, because they've put the cheerleaders to work. It's Ohio State vs. LSU, for something weird thing we're calling a "national championship." Or something. En...

To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you pipe in fake crowd noise to your living room ... • College football: BCS National Championship game, LSU vs. Ohio State, at New Orleans (8:15 p.m., ET). If only the bowl season could last forever. [Fox] • College basketball: Alabama State at Jackson State (8:30 p.m.) Do not taun...

Supermodels Not Included
We have always been wary of getting a tattoo of anything involving sports fandom, mainly because: a) you never know when your team will betray or your favorite player will end up murdering his houseboy; and b) tattoos really hurt, and we cry easily. But one Patriots fan has no such qualms....

Salvaging The Massacre In Mobile
Poor Illinois. Poor Hawaii. You folks think you can fathom utter and total humiliation in a January bowl game? Because when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your alma mater's football team, you'll know what to do!...

LSU Will Also Beat Your Ass At Tetris
The day will surely come, my friend, when football will exist only in The Matrix. Why should humans risk serious injury and National Anthems by the Oak Ridge Boys when we can play the whole damn game on an Xbox? We're a step closer to that already, as LSU has revealed that its quarterbacks — Matt Fl...

Look Out For The Tigers
• Could Memphis go undefeated? [Vegas Watch] • The other Brett Favre. [The Sports Hernia] • If the NFL ran the NCAA. [SimonOnSports] • The most apt, depressing analogy we've heard yet: The Illini basketball team is Fred Thompson. [Black Heart Gold Pants] • Whom to root for in the playoffs if you hav...

Roger Clemens, Still Talking, Or Something
So, the whole Roger Clemens "60 Minutes" interview has run now and, as you'd pretty much expect, it settled nothing. (Honestly, what happened to Mike Wallace? He used to be tough, right?) Clemens is denying, now he's suing Brian McNamee and everyone's all, "Christ, we're still talking about this?"...

The Uninformed, Blatant Guessgame Called "Prognostication"

The AFC Consolation Bracket
See, now this photo is just being mean. As if life after you've dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass isn't hard enough; then you gotta have an opponent making fun of you about it. Tsk tsk....

Eli Manning Could Get Into This Football Thing

Chargers vs. Titans, Second Half and Goodnight
It's been a while since I last checked in, but it's still the same football game. We're well into the third quarter of the final game of Wild Card Weekend '08 Bukkake and this game is dragging along with a score of 6-3. Tennessee is winning, Floats (pictured) i really crappy, and LaDainian is still...
