It's University of Georgia chick vs. bathroom stall. Come with us now into the women's restroom at Sanford Stadium, where the age-old conf...

Ha! I Can Never Be Tackl ... Ohhh, Mommy!
This youngster here is obviously a fan of the classic, straight-ahead running style of now-retired Dolphins running back Larry Csonka. Ouch. I should have listened to mom when she suggested beginning golf. The question is, which hit was bigger: This one, or the one levied by the Eagles' Chris Goc...

You, Miss, Are No Erin Andrews
I know Halloween was a week ago and we're way past the time where we should be comparing whose costume was better than whose—because that discussion is over—but it's Friday afternoon and I received an email in my inbox that I could not let go over the weekend. There was no message, just the attached...

Buck Burnette Just Can't Stop Apologizing for Absent-Minded Facebook Racism
After Texas backup center Buck Burnette was kicked off the team for his idiotic Facebook status comment, he issued a sincere apology that, at the very least, proved he knew what he did was wrong.

Thursday Night Preview: Maryland at Virginia Tech and #12 TCU at #8 Utah
Remember how I said that Versus stole a march on ESPN back when TCU played BYU and Florida State was playing N.C. State on Thursday October 16? Yeah, it's happened again. Only this time the game is on CBS College Sports. Which, if you're like me, you don't get on your television package because Com...

Another Typical Day At The Fox-Attached-To-Your-Arm 2K Run
Well, there goes my idea for a children's book. A Prescott, Arizona jogger ran a mile with a rabid fox clamped to her arm, then tossed the animal into her car trunk before driving to the hospital, authorities said. The woman, whose name was not released, is receiving rabies vaccinations. As is the f...

Your Halloween Costume Was Not This Good
I went to two pretty decent Halloween parties last weekend and saw a lot of clever costumes—Tony Stark with glowing chest plate, Anton Chigurh, Carmen Sandiego, Sewer Urchin, half the cast of "The Maltese Falcon," two Sarah Palins, 16 Jokers, and a dude in a Chinese gymnast leotard. But none—none—of...

Fat, Drunk And Stupid Is No Way To Go Through West Virginia, Son
When you're so drunk and obnoxious that you're heckled by your fellow West Virginia fans, you know it's time for an intervention. Meet someone whom I assume is named Larry ... or possibly Rodney. But first please turn down the volume if you're at work, unless you want your co-workers to start chanti...

College Football Preview: Check Your Messages Knowshon
LSU fans aren't only the most insane in college football, they're also the most resourceful. Perhaps insanity and resourcefulness aren't conflicting traits after all. Why do I say this? Because for the second year in a row LSU fans have made the cell phone lives of their opponents miserable. You'll ...

Thursday Night Preview: Auburn at West Virginia
Tonight ESPN brings you a match-up of teams whose fans are pissed with their lives, their teams, and the fact that it's only October and they're already prepared to start discussing next year's football season.

Today's Bible Lesson: Girls Can't Play Football
There may be nothing in the rulebook that says a mule can't play football, but there's another rule book out there that apparently does say something about girls not being place kickers. That was news to Kacy Stuart, a 14-year-old lass from Spaulding County, Georgia, who is playing for the New Crea...

The Phillies Put One In the Win Column Already
Home Run Derby kicks off its World Series coverage in the classiest way possible, by pitting the Ball Girls of the Philadelphia against those people that jump on top of the dugout for the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Edmonton Oilers Will Not Tolerate Your Live-Blogging Shenanigans
Last Sunday, the proprietor of the Covered in Oil blog was live-blogging the Oilers-Avalanche game. There was just one tiny problem. It was in violation of his press pass, or something. Turns out that the blogger actually has an MSM job, for which his tasks mostly consist of grabbing player quotes ...
