Good Game ... Good Game ... Good Game ... Owwwww!
The postgame handshake is one of amateur sports' grandest rituals, with combatants coming together to congratulate each other on a contest well played. It's also a great time, if you're a jerk, to play pranks, particularly ones involving knives....
High School Football: Gayer Than Gay?
This isn't easy to say so we're just going to say it: According to a new survey, one third of former high school football players have had sexual relations with other men. That's according to a new study to be published in the Journal of Sex Roles, which I totally just read by accident, and that's t...
Free Garchar!
Garchar organized the above placard prank, forcing the rival school's fans to spell out "WE SUCK" unknowingly, and we have to say, if we were a 17-year-old high school senior, that would have been the highlight of our lives. Unfortunately, the school didn't find it as funny; he was suspended for it....
To Watch Tonight...
• 8:00, TNT. Movie. Remember the Titans. If you want to play football on this team, you will answer me when I ask you who's your daddy. Who's your daddy, Gary? Who's your daddy? • 7:00, ESPN.

Nothing's Scarier Than Texas High School Football
It's about that time of day when we remind you just how terrifying Texas high school football is. This is from Southlake Carroll High School near Dallas/Ft. Worth, where certain fans camped out all night just to pay $90 seat licenses (that doesn't even count the tickets) for four high school footbal...
"42 ... 15 ... Set ... Down ... BLECHHHH ... Hike!"
From a Texas high school championship game last week, here's a young quarterback who is going to let absolutely nothing stand in the way of victory. How do we know? The guy vomits, then hikes the ball, throws a game-winning touchdown pass, then vomits again. Now that's devotion. Or, at the very leas...
You Will Only Spill Your Blood For Me!
It's important for a high school football coach to have his priorities in order. That order?...
That's An Unwieldy Office Pool
So, you know how some college basketball coaches, eager to have a tournament win or two to impress the boosters, have talked about having a tournament that incorporates all Division I-A teams? Well, in Wisconsin, they're actually trying something like this: They're starting a tournament with a 224 t...
A Complete Failure To Put A Body On McCoy
I shouldn't let the day pass without mentioning the exploits of Matewan High School running back Paul McCoy, who ran for 658 yards (though the local paper says 661) in a single game last night. He also added 10 touchdowns en route to a 64-0 nailbiter victory, and he had another 77-yard run called ...
This Is Why They Should Make Protective Cups For Your Ears
We're not sure what compelled ESPN to give us a random story about a high school player whose head was being eaten from the inside out by a nasty beetle, but, honestly, we're pretty glad they did....
Son, This In No Way Reflects On My Own Past Athletic Frustrations
In the grand tradition of the egg fertilizers of Mary Pierce and Todd Marinovich, we present Frank Colavecchia, the father of Rocco Colavecchia, a quarterback for Shenango High School in New Castle, Penn. Last week, Frank posed as a scout from Ohio University — to get into character, we suspect he...
"Yeah, You See, Laserdiscs Are The Future"
This guy is Jim Cantafio, and he, like all football coaches, at his high school level or otherwise, is vaguely unaware that there is a world outside of football, or even that there are people on the planet who have, in fact, never heard of football. ("Al-Qaeda people, and that sort.") But man, can h...
