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...
About Last Night...
• College Football: Texas A&M 28, Army 24. I think they should put Bobby Ross in charge of the entire U.S. military. • MLB: Padres 11, Dodgers 2. And the Pads climb to within a half game of the Dodgers. With a game in hand, too. • NASCAR: Johnny Benson wins Craftsman Truck race. Next week, he goes a...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Louisville just went up 24-7 on Miami, Michigan looks to be pretty firmly in control of things, and I'm just going to leave you to enjoy those things... if you're the type that likes to see big-name programs get humiliated. Enjoy the big games tonight, too....
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: Clemson @ Florida State. 7:45, ESPN. To me, the Bowden vs. Bowden storyline never really gets old. • College Football: Florida @ Tennessee. 8:00, ESPN. I know that Steve Spurrier is elsewhere now, but it wouldn't kill him to keep talking trash on Tennessee. • College Football: Ne...
"I Get That Old Lovin' Feelin'... Every Time I See Jim Leyland"
Your pennant run is not legitimate until Jeff Daniels makes a YouTube music video about you. A musical masterpiece, it is not. A song that will get you fired up, it also is not. What it is, is... well... I don't know what the hell it is, but it probably made Jeff Daniels feel better about himself....

Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
• Not actually watching any college football at the moment, as I just woke up, but the Pam Ward's short WikiPedia page entry reads "Pam Ward is probably a lesbian." - DriveInHard...
Bonds, Conte, Steroids... Blah
I actually can't tell how big of a story this is. When I see the words "Bonds" and "steroids" and a headline, I can try to read it, but in my head, it will all just sound like the teacher in Charlie Brown. But it's the top headline on ESPN.com right now, so it might be worth a mention....
Today In The Premiership...
• Charlton 1-0 Portsmouth. You know who's the best team in the Premiership? Portsmouth. Alright, probably not, but... they're at the top of the table right now. They got there by beating Charlton 1-0 today courtesty of a 73rd minute goal from the awesomely-named Lomana Tresor LuaLua. They add this t...

About Last Night...
• MLB. Orioles 2, Tigers 17. It pushes the Tigers division lead to two, and the suicide rate of Orioles fans up another notch. • College Football. Toledo 37, Kansas 31, 2OT. You can't turn the ball over twice in overtime. You just can't. • Golf. Shawn Micheel and Colin Montgomerie advance. It's not ...
Week In Deadspin: Clap Your Hands Say "Cough"
• If you can't punch a bouncer for yelling at you for bringing underage girls into a bar, jeez, what's the point of playing quarterback? • Everybody get fired up about your prostate! • It's not barking anymore: Now Browns fans steal your wheels. And then they poop on towels! • "Hey, Rob!" • You know...

Nothing Says "Sloth" Like A Long College Football Saturday
As has been established, tomorrow is a day for much gluttony/sloth/greed/skinny ladies' head in the box: seven pretty outstanding college football games. And no, we're not referring to Syracuse-Illinois. We are actually offended that the game is on television....
