About Last Night
What you missed while hitting a double off of the Rockies... • MLB: The Boston Red Sox cannot be stopped...on the field. • CFB: Penn State lost a big game, yet the Earth's rotation continues. • CFB: Kansas is still undefeated. Yay!...
Once In a Blue Moon
The World Series has finally come to the hallowed grounds of Coors Field and Denver is welcoming the Red Sox with balmy 36 degree weather. It's Dice-K vs. Fogg and they're both going to be wielding the half-frozen lumber. Terry Francona has opted to hold Kevin Youkilis' bat and glove, somebody shoul...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while your fantasy team conducts their final walk-through before tomorrow's big game... • World Series Game 3, Boston at Colorado. Dominican Lou says "It is berry berry cold." I expect Screwballs to post more feats of female hoisting, the air is thinner out there.[FOX] • College footba...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
As a UConn grad, I'm not sure what I'm prouder of: being up 16-0 on USF, or the cheerleaders in white outfits not protecting themselves from the rain. -Tom Feely...
We're Back, Baby!
Jose Mourinho was the Special One, but Didier Drogba is like Jesus Christ Superstar. My personal savior netted two goals en route to a 6-0 (SIX!) curbing of an exposed Man City squad. Sven hasn't been crapped on like that in months! Finally the top four is rounding back into form, especially after L...
Shawne Merriman: Virtual Asskicker
Shawne Merriman is another one of those athletes with a presence in the vast world of gaming. Apparently he's got some game in development, but frankly I don't speak gamer all that well. Fortunately the interview primarily focuses on the bone-crushing (sorry Priest) linebacker himself, and it's pepp...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
Can we give announcing team props on HJP? If so, props to Andre Ware for an apt comparison between the pass down the sidelines to set up the last second field goal in the MSU-Iowa game and the Texans-Titans game. -Chilltown (ed. note: I like to give Bonnie props whenever possible)...
DC's Mainstream Sports Media Makes Beautiful Music
I haven't the slightest clue whether or not you will care about this story, but I find it positively delightful. The DC sports media (of which I am certainly not a member) conducted quite the karaoke competition and it was all documented in sublime fashion by the master himself, Dan Steinberg....
That'll Cost Mr. Fitty Some Crackers
• Did Larry Fitz make a baby with a Raiderette? Only time DNA will tell. [SportsByBrooks] • Eric Byrnes should probably tone it down a bit. [Nationals Enquirer] • Keeping tabs on the NFLers over in Wee Britain. Watch our for the Poppins. [The Sports Hernia] • A solid guide for those of you looking t...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
It's another glorious Saturday of football action all over America. Of course I'm sitting here following the games online and collecting your instant messages while I watch the Premier League on my DVR. Things sure do sound thrilling, so I'll be sure to catch the second halves of the early games (as...
What, No Facepaint?
For a franchise with such a short and unremarkable history the Carolina Panthers sure seem to attract an odd level of devotion. Most recently a curious young couple thought fit to devote their entire wedding ceremony to the team they love so much....
Parlay O' the Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like bacon and hot fudge. Each weekend I will share some of my valuable college football gambling wisdom with you, the reader. Just remember, most of said "wisdom" comes from years of losing ridiculously speculative bets; when you lose all your money don't ...

About Last Night
What you missed while thanking the heroes... • NBA: Kevin Garnett's triple-double was too much for LeBron in a game that didn't count. Exactly how long do we have to wait for Garnett to get hurt? This whole Boston thing can't really work, Doc Rivers wouldn't let that happen. • MLB: There wasn't a ga...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as, during the earthquake, you shake violently to make the room seem like it's standing still ... • College football: Boise State at Fresno State. Welcome to the Doghouse.

Your Breeders Cup Preview
We only have space in our heart for one horse, so we can't get too much into the Breeder's Cup this weekend....
For Giants Fans, Crazy Is As Crazy Does
Sure the Red Sox have a bit of momentum going, and it looks like they're going to cruise to their second World Series title. That's because Colorado Rockies fans are relatively new at this. They don't understand that, when things aren't going your way, it's never too early to call in a bomb threat....
Hey Kids, It's The Giant Colon!
Seriously, the kids could spend all day playing in the giant colon. And they would, if the state capitol building didn't close at 4. Actually, the display is called "Super Colon and Friends," and is on display in Carson City, Nev., to raise colon cancer awareness. But I just call it fun! (Yes, I ha...
