Special Sponsors Post: Aren't You Lucky!
So remember a couple of weeks ago, when we mentioned that you could win Final Four tickets? Well, today is part two of that whole Old Spice sponsor business. Can you answer another trivia question? We never actually see these trivia questions until they're posted on the site ... so we hope this week...
Hey, Everyone! How Ya Hoofing?
On the day that Barbaro gets another good report card from his vet, we check in with the Barbaro Message Board to find that, well, things are getting just plain weird. And when you're talking about the Barbaro Message Board, that's saying something....
And Watch ... As You All Turn To Stone
Yes, yes, Lane Kiffin is the youngest coach in football (and somehow looks even younger in this photo), but in case you were wondering who's still, and always, in charge in Oakland ... why, it's the gnarled ogre that is Al Davis. Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!...

A Handy Guide For Super Bowl XXXXI Reporters
The endless loop of Super Bowl XXXXI coverage is about to begin, and we like to consider ourselves the Mainstream Media's Little Helpers. We're about to all be deluged with a flood of human interest stories — we can use that metaphor because the Saints lost — so we thought we'd make it easier on all...
Finally, A Worthwhile Video Moment In Ice Jumping
From With Leather comes this brutal video of ski jumper — who will surely be beaten for his poor performance — Jan Mazoch having a little difficult with his jump over the weekend. He's currently in stable condition, which seems like too facile a word for what happens in this video....
Dick Vitale's Attention Deficit Disorder
Some jobs in the world have to be considered a labor of hate; it's a ton of work, it drives you crazy, it's miserable ... but it's existence makes the world a better place....
This Guy Is Younger Than David Eckstein
This youthful gentleman is Lane Kiffin, the new head coach of the Oakland Raiders. He is the youngest coach in Raiders history and the current youngest head coach in the NFL. He is younger than nine players who were on last year's Raiders roster and, strangely, he has only one year of NFL experience...
"I Hope You Watch It Over And Over, Like I Will"
The instinct, of course, is to make fun of this kid, who's rocking the Jewfro and slow-motioning his own dunks in his basement basketball "court." But we've all been him, setting the microwave timer to hit last-second shots and trying to do Dominique dunks with a ping-pong ball....
The Truly Important Pick Of The Game
In case you were wondering when it all went wrong for the Patriots yesterday, when it all began to collapse, when the wave crested and receded ... you can take a look at this moment, with 7:18 left in the first half and the Patriots cruising to a 21-3 lead....
Ron Artest Now 53 Percent More Crazy
We understand that the mohawk is making a comeback — we guess — but now that Ron Artest has one, well, we're not really sure how to handle it. Some have said he looks like Mr. T, but, frankly, in this light, we think Grace Jones is the best parallel. And, in the grand scheme of things, that kind of ...
Man, The Cops Just Won't Leave Those Bengals Alone
You know, honestly, we almost feel bad bringing this up, because this is the type of thing Bad Media People do: They see an athlete do something "bad," even an athlete who, like in this case, they'd never heard of beforehand, and just draw large-scale conclusions based on sketchy facts and uninforme...

Rex Grossman, Like Jim McMahon, But Without The Sunglasses And Headband
We don't mean to imply that Bears fans can get a little crazy in their devotion to their team — they can, but they're usually not mean about it — but this sign, seen at Soldier Field yesterday, seems a bit much. We're amazed this actually stayed up, we really are....
AFC Blogdome: A Colt From The Blue
What they're saying in Blogopolis after Sunday's AFC championship game (predictably, Stampede Blue has wasted no time going to the Karate Kid photos) ......
Peyton Manning, An Image Now In Need Of An Upgrade
A confession to make: We like dynasties. We don't like them because it's fun to watch one team win everything, because it isn't. We like them because they provide clear, distinct rooting interests and fault lines. The Patriots always beat the Colts, Peyton Manning can't figure out the Patriots, one ...
Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 4th Quarter
- Not to go all Bill Simmons on you, but what we have here—a one score conference championship game with two of the best quarterbacks in the game—is pretty damn sweet....
Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 3rd Quarter
- Terrence Wilkins gets crunched by Larry Izzo on the opening kickoff of the second half....
Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 2nd Quarter
