OK, Peyton Can Keep His Job
Damn, just when you write off Peyton Manning as a fluke he comes back to life! Since we last checked in he's added a pair of touchdown passes (Wayne and Addai) and the Colts have pulled away from the first place Panthers. Wait...Carolina's in first place? I don't think I want to live in such a world...
English Football (The Real Kind)
Liverpool took an early lead within the friendly confines of Anfield but they couldn't hold off red-hot Arsenal for the full 90 minutes. Liverpool took a quick lead courtesy of a low rocket delivered by Steven Gerrard on a fixed piece in the sixth minute. From there the defense took root in an attem...
Our Big Ben Can't Tell Time Or Hold His Liquor, But He Can Throw
In Cincinnati the quarterbacks have been all but perfect. Caron Palmer has gone 14-16 for 114 yards but the Bengals have seen two drives stall out forcing them to settle for a pair of field goals. Conversely Ben Roethlisberger is 10-12 for 136 yards with two satisfying touchdowns. Willie Parker has ...
Undefeated Teams Remain Undefeated
Boston College got things off to a good start for the undefeated teams back on Thursday night. By the time Monday morning rolled around all four of the unbeaten BCS schools remained perfect. The Sun Devils of Arizona State came out with the most significant-and perhaps most unexpected-victory of the...
This Is Why You Hire a Darren Prince
What can I say about Dennis Rodman that hasn't already been said about Liz Taylor on a year-long acid trip? Hmmm....I'll have to get back to you on that one. Apparently Mr. Rodman uses the holiday of Halloween to dress himself in outrageous fashion—who knew?! If this is how the former rebounding ki...
Ho-ly Crap
Really, is there anything else left to say? There were like 15 laterals there for Trinity University of San Antonio and it all resulted in a 24-22 win over [Paul] Millsap....

Boston's Rookies Are Too Much For Colorado
Who needs Papi, Manny, and Beckett when you've got Dustin, Jacoby, and Matsuzaka? The trio of rookies set the tone for the Boston Red Sox in their Game 3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Jacoby Ellsbury moved into the leadoff spot and he responded with four big hits. Fellow rookie Dustin Pedroia m...
Once In a Blue Moon
The World Series has finally come to the hallowed grounds of Coors Field and Denver is welcoming the Red Sox with balmy 36 degree weather. It's Dice-K vs. Fogg and they're both going to be wielding the half-frozen lumber. Terry Francona has opted to hold Kevin Youkilis' bat and glove, somebody shoul...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while your fantasy team conducts their final walk-through before tomorrow's big game... • World Series Game 3, Boston at Colorado. Dominican Lou says "It is berry berry cold."

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
As a UConn grad, I'm not sure what I'm prouder of: being up 16-0 on USF, or the cheerleaders in white outfits not protecting themselves from the rain. -Tom Feely...
We're Back, Baby!
Jose Mourinho was the Special One, but Didier Drogba is like Jesus Christ Superstar. My personal savior netted two goals en route to a 6-0 (SIX!) curbing of an exposed Man City squad. Sven hasn't been crapped on like that in months! Finally the top four is rounding back into form, especially after L...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
Can we give announcing team props on HJP? If so, props to Andre Ware for an apt comparison between the pass down the sidelines to set up the last second field goal in the MSU-Iowa game and the Texans-Titans game. -Chilltown (ed. note: I like to give Bonnie props whenever possible)...
DC's Mainstream Sports Media Makes Beautiful Music
I haven't the slightest clue whether or not you will care about this story, but I find it positively delightful. The DC sports media (of which I am certainly not a member) conducted quite the karaoke competition and it was all documented in sublime fashion by the master himself, Dan Steinberg....
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
It's another glorious Saturday of football action all over America. Of course I'm sitting here following the games online and collecting your instant messages while I watch the Premier League on my DVR. Things sure do sound thrilling, so I'll be sure to catch the second halves of the early games (as...
What, No Facepaint?
For a franchise with such a short and unremarkable history the Carolina Panthers sure seem to attract an odd level of devotion. Most recently a curious young couple thought fit to devote their entire wedding ceremony to the team they love so much....
Parlay O' the Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like bacon and hot fudge. Each weekend I will share some of my valuable college football gambling wisdom with you, the reader. Just remember, most of said "wisdom" comes from years of losing ridiculously speculative bets; when you lose all your money don't ...
