Raking In The Bowl Game Cash
It's always nice to have bad guys in sports, and there aren't many more reliable bad guys than those shady, mysterious characters who run the lower-tier bowl games. And you don't want to know how much money they're making....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while making the world's longest lanyard ... • NBA: Boston at Miami; Los Angeles Lakers at Utah. Everybody was Shaq Fu fighting ... [ESPN] • College football: Fresno State at New Mexico State. Bulldogs vs. Aggies. Um, what's an Aggie again? [ESPN2] • Motor sports: NASCAR Nextel Cup Awa...
Hmm, Who Would Win A Fight Between Herschel And Spurrier?
There's not much more ironically amusing than Steve Spurrier lecturing someone else on sportsmanship, but he's been going after Georgia recently for their big touchdown-pile-on a few weeks ago. He said he'd have sent in a third-string Gamecock to start a fight, therefore getting a bunch of Bulldogs ...
One More Time To Kill the Pain
Well here we are, staring at what's likely to be the final game of the 2007 Major League Baseball season. If Leitch were here he'd probably be inconsolable, but I think I'm handling it just fine. After the marathon regular season the post season has been unremarkable at best. I'm ready for next year...
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...
USC Seniors Are Not Smarter Than A Fifth Grader
Chris Washington is a senior at USC with a GPA of 3.50. And even though he had several of his fraternity brothers rooting him on in the front row during the game show Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? last night, he still seemed a bit confused. Below are a list of the questions that he got wrong:...
Why Aren't Baseball Video Games Any Good?
We like to play the occasional video game, but we don't obsess over them, mostly because we're not very good at them. We have, however, obsessed over Strat-o-Matic before, because we're a nerd for baseball simulation. (A bit redundant phrasing, we agree.)...
Last Rites For the Cubs and Phillies
If the Phillies and Cubs were planning on winning some games this post season they'd be wise to get things started tonight. Chicago is already underway with Arizona and things are going just as expected, 1-0 Diamondbacks after a third of an inning. The Wrigley faithful were silenced immediately cour...
Rockies-Padres, For A Trip To Philadelphia!
It is not often the eyes of baseball fans are focused on Coors Field in Colorado, but in about 20 minutes, that's exactly where they'll be. We couldn't be more excited....
More Late Game Bukkake
San Diego 14, Chicago 3 LaDainian Tomlinson made up for a fallow first half with a flush fantasy second, throwing for one touchdown and rushing for another, but still managing only 25 yards on 17 carries. Tommy Harris can jump offsides all he damn pleases, it's still not making up for a parlous Bear...
Tomlinson Rushes Not Exactly Like Nike Zoom Commercial
All possessors of the first pick in their fantasy football leagues would like to have a word with LDT at the moment, as the reigning NFL MVP (though Pacman Jones is the raining NFL MVP) has 12 yards on 11 carries in the first half against the Bears....
You, Too, Can Spin A Virtual Baton
If you're tired of Madden already — and, as someone who currently has the Buzzsaw in the NFC Championship game at Philadelphia in franchise mode, we are certainly not that — you could be in luck: There's now a video game about traditionally black college football....
What To Watch
• 6:00 pm — Little League World Series: Midwest vs. Southwest [ESPN] • 8:00 pm — Chargers at Rams [CBS] • 9:00 pm — I Me Wed [Lifetime] • 11:15 pm — Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Kansas City Chiefs [HBO] -Metschick...
Glavine Gets His Zack Snyder On
We congratulate Tom Glavine on earning his 300th win last night. We also appreciate that he didn't drag it out too long; unlike some people, he hasn't taken so long that we find ourselves rooting for him to break a record we don't actually want him a break, just so everyone will be quiet....
X Games Skater Somehow Doesn't Die
We don't cover much X Games around here — we probably don't need to explain why — but last night, some guy named Jake Brown pulled off one of the most amazing moves in X Games history ... and then took a fall that amazingly didn't kill him. We're still not sure it's sports, but man, it's tough no...
NHL Comes Crawling Back To ESPN
After being slapped repeatedly across the head and neck for a couple of years, the NHL appears to be crying uncle on the whole nobody-can-watch-their-games-on-television thing....
