Playoff Pants Party: Saints Vs. Eagles
This might be the oddest matchup of the divisional round: The Saints are a team that no one is quite sure whether or not is a leading contender or just a team that would occasionally get hot at the right time. And the Eagles ... jeez, Jeff Garcia, we mean, in the words of GOB, come on! It's somewhat...
Gilbert Arenas Rates His Swag
It must be frustrating for Gilbert Arenas sometimes, being stuck on a planet with people who couldn't possibly understand the way his world works. Sometimes, though, an intrepid reporter will try to break through....

Life's Pretty Tough For Buckeyes Fans
Our friends at NBX Sports Blog have put together this compilation video of distressed Ohio State fans showing during the FOX broadcast of the Buckeyes' destruction at the hands of the Florida Gators on Monday. We've always wanted someone to make a fan montage like this; just a bunch of people puttin...
That's One Way To Handle The Tempest That Is Rex Grossman
The main question in the NFC this weekend: How will Bears quarterback Rex Grossman play? That is to say: Is he going to completely wreck the Bears again, or will he occasionally throw the ball forward and to a gentleman in the correct jersey?...
Kick Me In The Jimmy! (Well, OK, Kick YOU)
We've all fallen for it, at one time or another: What's the capital of Thailand? Bangkok! And then there are groaning sounds and an unnerving sense that the world is ending....
Let's Go To The Studio, Where It's Jimmy With Keggy And The Gang
Considering that FOX has barely showed any college football this year and therefore has no established halftime "in the studio" team, we were curious how they would handle last night, which after all was the supposed biggest game of the year. We admire their conclusion: They just picked two retired ...
Of Open Mics, And A Very Special Message For Buzz
You know, we've just about had it with Buzz. And obviously KSN-TV Wichita sports director Jim Kobbe feels the same way, after some technical problems prompted his potent outburst during a live sports broadcast. We've said it before and we'll say it again ... we love inadvertently open mics....
Should Belichick Be Punished For His Limp Shove?
As far as we can tell, Michael David Smith of The Fanhouse was the first to make an issue out of this — we even laughed it off ourselves — but a couple days later, more people are asking: Shouldn't we be a little more pissed at Patriots coach bill Belichick for just shoving that cameraman out of the...
BCS Blogdome: There's Got To Be A Morning After
What they're saying in Blogville about Florida's 41-14 win over Ohio State in Monday's BCS Championship Game ......
"Disaster! Buckeyes Eaten By Gators!"
Well, boy howdy, that was kind of definitive, wasn't it?...
It's The Mythical Sort Of Kinda A Little Bit Of A National Title Game
Well, jeez, it's finally time: The endless math problem that is the college football season at last ends tonight, in the Tostitos BCS Championship Game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Florida Gators. This one doesn't quite have the gravitas or star power of last year's title game, and if Ohi...
The Inside Story On Gilbert's Birthday Bash
The big party last week was, not surprisingly, the big Gilbert Arenas birthday party, complete with ice sculpture, Clinton Portis and, of all people, Kissing Suzy Kolber's own Unsilent Majority. (Obviously, Agent Zero should be a bit more judicious with the guest list.) Unsilent spoke with Free Dark...

Many People Taking Photos Of Two Men Hugging
We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after...
Now They Just Need Marky Mark To Play Linebacker
As Garcia Mania continues to sweep the greater Philadelphia area — if just because "Westbrook Mania" doesn't have the same indelible linguistic flow — we point out to you the spoils of quarterbacking an NFL team that is the company in a company town: Incredibly awkward local television commercials! ...
Giants vs. Eagles, 4th Quarter
- 3rd and 2 for the Giants from the Eagles 6, and Eli Manning just can't make anything happen. He fails to see a wide open Plax in the back of the endzone, and ends up throwing it away, which, I suppose, is all you could expect from Eli Manning. They settle for the field goal, and it's 20-13 Eagles ...
Giants vs. Eagles, 3rd Quarter
- The Eagles are getting the ball here to start the second half. And if they score here, it would force Eli Manning into a lot of passing situations, which would be fantastic for people who hate Eli Manning....
Giants vs. Eagles, 2nd Quarter
- The Giants are on pace for over 400 yards......
Giants vs. Eagles, 1st Quarter
- Alright, here we go. I'm expecting this Eagles/Giants game to be more eventful and more... disastrous. NFC East games tend to veer towards the absurd. This will not be a quality football game, but it will probably be fun....
