Is Chase Daniel For Real?
I've heard what everyone's been saying about the Heisman Trophy frontrunner with the video-game offense, but I don't know if I buy it. Yeah, they've put up 50 or more points in four of their first five games, but we've seen this before. These high-scoring teams kick the shit out of a handful of crap...

Snip My Child's Foreskin, Please!
So what did we learn today? Other than maybe learning that Mack Brown can win the big games, RichRod can't win the little games, and that taking the points against Utah is wallet suicide, I learned this...and I don't have any clue how to react: Friend of Deadspin and unabashed Tim Tebow superfan Dan...
Zen Driving Taken To The Extreme
When you see a headline like "Belgium Man Breaks Blind Speed World Record" you can't just simply ignore it and go about your business like nothing happened. The Belgium in question, a Mr. Luc Costermans, topped out at 308.78 km/h - or 192 mph in American - while driving his Lamborghini Gallardo at ...
Tampa Bay Rays Still Have A Bit Of Youthful Arrogance
So much for the idea that these young Rays are made up of honest-to-goodness, hardworking, gritty players just happy to be included in the postseason festivities for the first time; they got some swagger in them. The above t-shirt isn't some fly-by-night homemade operation either, it's an MLB-sanct...
Hockey Season Comes In With A Whimper...And Semi-Impressive Signage
Billboard Hockey: sure it looks nice, until you realize you don't know the rules and that all the players are Canadian.

Hugh: Toledo's Record Against Michigan Improves To 1-0
The commenters have been discussing this game everywhere since it started. But now that the dust has settled, it's time to count the bodies: Michigan lost to a MAC team for the first time...ever.

Jordan Rule #4,102: Always Be Pimping
This is Michael Jordan. You might remember him from being the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time. And here he is, out on the town, stone cold chillin'.

Hugh Recommends An Assortment Of Beverages
Sports, at the end of the day, is about bringing people together. Take me and Rick, for example. I've know Paulas for all of about 36 hours now, but we've really bonded. We're already at the point in the friendship where we can tell each other Holocaust jokes. How great is that? But anyway, Rick pas...

Peyton Manning Kind Of Awkward In A Public Setting
Let's all get together and laugh at a famous person acting like a real human being! To be fair, it's not really Peyton's fault. The only thing more awkward than watching someone rock out at a concert is watching a guy's face while he masturbates to Internet porn — the spastic motions, the furrowed ...
Hugh: Musberger Doesn't Trust Your Concept Of 'Interesting'
So Brent Musberger tells me, right after Texas runs back a kickoff for a touchdown, "Pull up a chair, folks. This one's gonna get real interesting." Bear in mind, it's a 1-vs.-5 game, and we just saw a fucking kickoff run back for a touchdown. Do I need a rickety old man alerting me to the gravity o...
Jesse Palmer's First Reviews Are In, And They're Not Good
There are so many reasons to dislike Jesse Palmer. Being a contestant on The Bachelor. Being Canadian. Being so ... handsome? And the worst part about him is that he just won't leave us alone, popping up in the darnedest of places. Like our dreams. Or, more universally, invading our aural space duri...

Previewing More Saturday Games, Just In Case Oklahoma Chokes
I'd like to go ahead and grant permission for those watching the games alone at home to start drinking. You might be wondering to yourself, "Hey, won't drinking at home alone mean I'm an alcoholic?" No, drinking before noon makes you an alcoholic, but let's not split hairs here. You have a full day ...
MLB Closer: Brett Myers Is Your New Bicycle, Dice-K Baffles
• Phillies 8, Dodgers 5 Taking the advice of his marriage counseler, Brett Myers decided to get rid of his aggression on the field by making the Doyers his bitch. Myers pitched well enough to win, but did the real damage with his bat, to the tune of a 3-for-3 night with 3 RBIs. The wife can rest ea...

Those of you looking for that blatantly marquee matchup today are in for something special: The Big XII will take center stage today with the 103rd renewal of the Red River Shootout.
