ESPN Still Wants Your Money, But Now It Wants Interest Too
In yet another reminder of how the shareholders demand RESULTS, dammit, our mailbox — and, we suspect, many of yours — welcomed us back home with an application for the ESPN Credit Card. We eagerly tore open the package, thinking maybe if we spent above a certain level, they'd let us host "Cold Pizz...
Carl Monday Is Being Honored Left And Right, Up And Down, Side To Side
The past two weeks have been plenty good for Carl Monday. Not only was he a charter member of our own Hall of Fame, but he also won ... an Emmy!...
That's Not A Fun Way To Lose
Saturday was an outstanding day for college football — particularly if you went to Syracuse, grumble grumble — but it was not so pleasant for Oklahoma fans, who, as this video rather clearly shows, were screwed out of a big road victory against Oregon. It's funny, because one wouldn't think it would...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 1 p.m. Cold Pizza's Skip Bayless: So many questions, so little rotten fruit. • 4 p.m. Fantasy Football Focus: Wasn't your last comment, "Your team sucks and you are doomed," a little harsh? • 4 p.m. Baseball With Gary Gillette: Doesn't...
Louis Gossett Jr. Is Little Help, Frankly
So, remember, back in May, when Siena basketball player Kojo Mensah was so desperate to be allowed to transfer from the school that he called on Louis Gossett Jr. for help? Gossett memorably said he could be of assistance because he "can call directly to Bryant Gumbel, Bob Costas and Ahmad Rashad."...
A Day At Paul Brown Stadium
So, we are sad to report that we did not make it to Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson's dramatic interpretation of the chicken dance at Cincinnati's Oktoberfest on Saturday afternoon; we figured by the time we actually made it downtown, we'd be too far away to see anything but the tip of Johnson's ...

About Last Night ...
What you missed while cornholing ... • NFL: Eagles roll past Giants as ... wait a minute, hold everything ... Manning's going nuts! • MLB: It's Frank's world, we just live in it ...

NFL Week 2: Update #4
Denver 9, Kansas City 6. This wasn't football, this was a crime against football. I shouldn't even mention it here. Three hours of straight boredom. And since I don't want to talk about it, let me just mention this: I have three QBs on my fantasy roster: Chad Pennington, Rex Grossman, and Jake Plumm...
To Watch Tonight...
• MLB. Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees. I heard that the standings don't matter when these two teams play. 8:00, ESPN. • Movie. Major League. Forget about the curve ball, Ricky. Give 'em the heater. 8:00, ESPN Classic. • NFL. Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys. I just wish NBC would find a way t...
NFL Week 2: Update #3
Tennessee 0, San Diego 17. And it's not really as close as the score would indicate. Kerry Collins and Vince Young have booth seen time at quarterback, and honestly, the Titans might be better off just playing without a quarterback. Lure Eric Crouch out of retirement, and run the option....

• NBA.com is taking their sweet time in getting their 'Gay' jerseys available. Rudy will be taking the court this year in a jersey that reads "Alternative Lifestyle" on the back. [High and Inside] • I know that you think you want to know all about ESPN broadcaster Chris Fowler's engagement and his w...
NFL Week 2: Update #2
Detroit 7, Chicago 34. And welcome back to the Detroit Lions. All that Week One optimism looks a little misguided at this point. Not that they're destined to be as bad as the Raiders or anything, but they're still 0-2 and just got their asses beat by Rex Grossman (20-of-27 for 289 yards and 4 TDs)....

NFL Week 2: Update #1
Cleveland 3, Cincinnati 14. Chad Johnson caught a touchdown pass for the Bengals, and followed it up with... the chicken dance. The era of awesome touchdown celebrations may be officially over. When we're doing dances that are designed for white people to do at weddings, I think we're in trouble. I ...

NFL Week 2: Things You'll Want To See
Oakland @ Baltimore. This game should answer some questions on exactly how bad Oakland could be. I really believe that they've got the potential to be one of the all-time legendary disasters in sports history. A key to this, though, is keeping Aaron Brooks healthy. They can't reach the depths they'r...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Irish Schadenfreude
• (11) Michigan 47, (2) Notre Dame 21. I don't think there's anything that the college football watching public enjoys more than seeing Notre Dame get beaten - nay, romped - in a big game. I didn't get to publish even a small fraction of the overjoyed comments that came as a result of Michigan's 4...
