NBA Roundup: Philadelphia Freedom
Notes on the National Basketball Association ......
Young Clark Kent Can't Help Showing Off A Little
Sam McGuffie, a junior from Cy Creek High in Cypress, Texas, has more than 3,000 yards rushing this season. Several of those are through the air; if McGuffie can't run around or through a defender, he will leap over him ... while the defender is standing upright. Yep. The above is YouTubeness of his...
NFL Roundup: What The Hell Got Into The Saints?
News And Notes From Week 14 In The NFL ......
About Last Night ...
What we missed while the bomb squad opened our Christmas card from Barbaro ... • NFL: Well, that was fun. Colts remove their name from Super Bowl candidacy. • World Cup Ski: Bode Miller sails to easy vict ... uh oh. • World Cup Golf: Germany rules the world!...
Sunday Night Football: Exploring The Parcells/Payton Relationship
Congratulations to NBC for managing to find two worthwhile teams in the NFC... they might be the only two. The 8-4 Saints travel to Dallas to take on the 8-4 Cowboys tonight, and there are storylines aplenty....
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #4
• Denver's not going to win, but Jay Cutler doesn't suck anymore. Whatever adjustments the Broncos made at halftime worked... not to the point of getting a win, of course, but Jay Cutler was much better after the break. That's the sort of thing that you like to hear if your team is 3-9, and looking ...
To Watch Tonight...
• NFL. New Orleans Saints @ Dallas Cowboys. As far as the people of Dallas are concerned, Tony Romo is a Saint. 8:15, NBC. • College Basketball: LSU vs. Texas. Kevin Durant and Big Baby Davis... this will do just fine, thank you. 8:00, ESPN. • Movie. White Men Can't Jump. Why don't we take all these...
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #3
• It's 17-13, Cardinals, and I don't know if it's worth it for either of these teams to try to run the ball again. Shaun Alexander's carried 9 times for 26 yards, and Edgerrin James 11 times for 34 yards... this one might resemble Arena Football in the second half. Both Leinart and Hasselbeck have t...
Will Ferrell Is Making A Movie About The ABA
I ran across this yesterday and thought it was the sort of thing about which you'd like to be made aware: Will Ferrell and Andre Benjamin of OutKast are making a movie entited "Semi-Pro" about an ABA Basketball team. Sold. That's all I need. To be honest, I was sold after "Will Ferrell," but I tho...
LeftoverDome...
• Remember the Haka? I bet you didn't think BYU would be the team adopting it. [YouTube] • A friendly reminder to Bears head coach Lovie Smith has Rex Grossman sucks. [Foul Balls] • Bobby Valentine has a blog. It is very strange and Japanese. [Bobby's Way] • Evil bastard John Elway threatens the ver...
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #2
• I don't think teams that have realistic hopes of winning the Super Bowl have a lot of days where they allow multiple 100+ yard rushers. David Garrard is 8-of-14... and the Jags are still beating up the Colts. Maurice Jones Drew has 166 yards and 2 TDs, while Fred Taylor has 131 and 1 TD. Even a fe...
I'm Sorry, Goalie, But You Are Screwed
I missed this during yesterday's Premiership coverage, which necessitates doubling up on the amount of soccer posts this weekend. Many of you, I'm sure, hate this. And I'm sorry. But Portsmouth's Matt Taylor did something yesterday that is not normal, and I don't think we should ignore it....
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #1
• Artose Pinner is the best player in the NFL today. With Chester Taylor out with a rib problem, Pinner's stepped in and racked up 98 yards and 2 touchdowns. Brad Johnson also has a rushing touchdown, which isn't something I thought was in the Bad Johnson repertoire. He's also 10-of-15 for 124 yards...
News About The Bengals That Doesn't Involve Handcuffs
Yesterday started with some bad (though, really, kind of standard) Bengals news, so let's drop in some good Bengals news today. David Pollack, the rookie linebacker who fractured a vertebra during a September game for the Bengals, had his stabilizing halo removed this week....
The College Hoops Compendium: Congratulations, Knight
• (23) Air Force 82, Colorado College 31. I thought this was the sort of thing that didn't happen outside of grade school basketball: Air Force held Colorado College to six points in the first half, and took a 50-6 lead into the break. What's the Colorado College coach supposed to say in his halftim...
For Your Saturday Afternoon Viewing Pleasure...
The day's NFL slate......
About Last Night...
• College Football: Troy Smith puts himself in OJ's neighborhood, winning the Heisman with the 2nd-largest margin of victory ever. Darren McFadden 2nd, Brady Quinn 3rd. • NBA: Knicks 115, Bucks 107. That "Eddy! Eddy!" chant from the Garden crowd was not sarcastic. Curry finished with 36 points. • NB...
Troy Smith's New Bronze Toy
At 8:00 tonight, ESPN begins their coverage of what is consistently one of the least interesting events on the sporting calendar: the presentation of the 2006 Heisman Trophy. I could see myself tuning in for the last 10 minutes or so, but I can't come up with one good reason to watch any of the 50...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: 2006 Heisman Trophy Presentation. My prediction? Dwyane Wade. 8:00, ESPN. • Ali Rap. Well, it does beat a Stuart Scott poetry jam. 9:00, ESPN. • Rodeo: Wrangler National Finals, Championship. I told you... call me Bronco. 9:00, ESPN2....
Perhaps An 'Ali Brush And Floss' Would Be More Accurate
If Muhammad Ali's being looked at as some kind of grandfather of rap now, this is going to put a major dent in his street cred. There are probably a lot of artists out there who look back at their early albums and wish they could do a few things over, but at least none of them did this: The Adven...
