NFL Reserves Want To Protect Your Marriage
Some people would argue that the best way to measure the popularity of your cause is by the celebrities who are willing to line up to endorse it. Well, if a backup defensive end for the San Diego Chargers and a current NFL "free agent" aren't enough star power to convince Californians to put a stop ...

Jags Lineman Richard Collier Has Leg Amputated, Paralyzed After Shooting
Jaguars' offensive tackle Richard Collier's life will officially never be the same. He's lucky to be alive after 14 bullet wounds left him in critical condition for weeks, but his surgeon announced today as a result of his life-threatening injuries, Collier had his left leg amputated and will be par...
Oregon State Fans Know How To Celebrate
Honestly, I think that Oregon State students were more excited about having Erin Andrews on campus than they were with the Beavers' 27-21 upset of USC. It seems as if every second sign in the place had some reference to her. Kudos to Beaver Nation for getting this sign on the air ... a move that was...
Innuendo Bowl LXXI: #1 USC Trojans vs. Oregon State Beavers
Do you like games where the No. 1 team loses on the road? Well, too bad, because that game's not for a few weeks. Until then, we have a nice Pac 10 game between two "rivals" for you which will be over by mid-second quarter. We got ESPN's Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer, and Craig James(er) in the box. We...

LSU's Jarrett Lee Is A Golden...Beer Pong Expert
LSU fans who remember the limp-wristed second quarter toss against Auburn that led to the easiest interception return for a touchdown of the 2008 season will recognize the hand-eye coordination in the above photo of Lee engaging in extracurricular collegiate activities. This photo (courtesy The Big...
Doug and Jackie Christie's Love Will Bail Out America
This was released last week, but it's still incredibly amusing. The aggressively over-committed duo of former NBA'er Doug Christie and his wife Jackie are extending their gilded love to Wall Street, determined to jump-start the economy before the wilting stock market puts America into deeper financi...

Tarvaris Jackson Will Continue Being Molded From The Sidelines
The biggest question mark for the Minnesota Vikings going into this year was if second-year quarterback Tarvaris Jackson had progressed enough to run the offense. The flirtations with Brett Favre not withstanding, Vikings head coach Brad Childress made a valiant effort to put his faith behind his sh...
Tribune Kills Mariotti Talks As A Thankful Populace Rejoices
Attention, residents of Chicago: Jay Mariotti will not be coming to the Tribune. We repeat: Will NOT be employed there. This is official. (Wary citizens emerge from concrete bunkers, shielding eyes from the sun as "all clear" siren sounds). Although he proved as hard to kill as the evil robot in Ter...
Game-Worn US Olympic Basketball Jerseys Up For Auction
Bidding is up and running now and will continue until September 30. But break out the checkbooks and keep adding zeroes. Already Kobe Bryant's jersey has nine bids and is up to $1,600. Women's team jerseys will also be up for auction. Surprisingly, they aren't fetching as high of bids now. You can'...
DeSean Jackson's End Zone Brainfartery Will Be Overlooked — For Now
Yes, last night was disappointing in many ways, but it has not completely killed my faith: I still like my team. If anything, last night's Eagles/Cowboys game proved that Donovan McNabb is fully-recovered and that DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia's own Barack Obama, is still on pace to be the greatest E...
Jay Cutler, Diabetic, Shills for McDonald's
The commercial was filmed in June of 2008 and has recently started airing on Denver television. This means the commercial was filmed after Cutler realized he had diabetes. The commercial combines the hilarity of the Coors Light press conference commercials (read:none) but adds an annoying little ki...
For These Prices I Could Send My Car To Summer Camp. Am I Right, Folks?
So why is price gouging illegal in hurricane-ravaged areas of Texas and Louisiana, but scenes such as this on Saturday at the LA Coliseum go virtually unnoticed? To recap, there were some Ohio State fans who paid $500 apiece for tickets to the USC game (those were the cheap ones), then had to break ...
Nuts v. Contraceptives: #5 Ohio State-#1 USC
Actually, the Southern California Trojans have already won this game by 24 points, but the NCAA by-laws dictate they have to go ahead and play the game anyway. Everybody important is at the game, except you. And, well, me. So let's get through this impending Buckeyes massacre together, shall we? Oh,...
Murderball's Back, Baby! (Watch Your Toes)
One U.S. team in Beijing came into these Games with all the pressure in the world on them to succeed after an embarrassing bronze medal in a sport the United States normally dominates. Yes, they laid the wood to the Chinese team in their first match, but they have a long way to go towards the mythic...
At Last ... The USC-Ohio State Sideline VIP List Is Here
The Fonz, Isiah Thomas, Ed Helms and Greg Oden are only a few of the celebrities who have been granted sideline VIP passes to Saturday's USC-Ohio State extravaganza, so get your cameras ready if you're going to attend. I happen to know that a certain A.J. Daulerio will be there as well, although not...
Jason Collins And The Golf Cart Of Doom
At least Timberwolves fans have great memories from the 2007-2008 season when their all-time greatest player won an NBA Championship in his first season with another team. Now their center can't avoid injury while driving around a golf course. Per the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "Collins was injured ...
