Tank Johnson Will Be Allowed To Violate O-Linemen's Probation
Well, the wheels of justice grind gloriously in the land of Chicago. Defensive lineman Tank Johnson — whose name is not Feelings Johnson for a reason — will be able to play in the Super Bowl. A Cook County judge just ruled less than an hour ago that Tank will be able to travel with the team to Miami...

"I Hope You Watch It Over And Over, Like I Will"
The instinct, of course, is to make fun of this kid, who's rocking the Jewfro and slow-motioning his own dunks in his basement basketball "court." But we've all been him, setting the microwave timer to hit last-second shots and trying to do Dominique dunks with a ping-pong ball....
Well, That's One Way To Scare Off Pat Summitt's Recruits

Carmelo, Iverson Finally Able To Pretend To Tolerate Each Other In Person
Carmelo Anthony has paid his public penance — he threw a punch, so now he's Clearly A Thug, you see, though we like to think that the suspension was lessened because he had the good sense to punch a Knick — and now it's time to get back to business: Carmelo will rejoin Allen Iverson and the Denver N...

The Truly Important Pick Of The Game
In case you were wondering when it all went wrong for the Patriots yesterday, when it all began to collapse, when the wave crested and receded ... you can take a look at this moment, with 7:18 left in the first half and the Patriots cruising to a 21-3 lead....
Ron Artest Now 53 Percent More Crazy
We understand that the mohawk is making a comeback — we guess — but now that Ron Artest has one, well, we're not really sure how to handle it. Some have said he looks like Mr. T, but, frankly, in this light, we think Grace Jones is the best parallel. And, in the grand scheme of things, that kind of ...
Man, The Cops Just Won't Leave Those Bengals Alone
You know, honestly, we almost feel bad bringing this up, because this is the type of thing Bad Media People do: They see an athlete do something "bad," even an athlete who, like in this case, they'd never heard of beforehand, and just draw large-scale conclusions based on sketchy facts and uninforme...

Rex Grossman, Like Jim McMahon, But Without The Sunglasses And Headband
We don't mean to imply that Bears fans can get a little crazy in their devotion to their team — they can, but they're usually not mean about it — but this sign, seen at Soldier Field yesterday, seems a bit much. We're amazed this actually stayed up, we really are....
AFC Blogdome: A Colt From The Blue

Peyton Manning, An Image Now In Need Of An Upgrade
A confession to make: We like dynasties. We don't like them because it's fun to watch one team win everything, because it isn't.
