Elway Engaged To Former Raiderette
Former Denver Broncos superstar John Elway is engaged—to a former Raiders cheerleader. Traitor bastard! Paige Green, a 41-year-old that Elway met at a golf tournament three years ago, moved to Denver a year after she met the NFL Hall-Of-Famer. John presumably celebrated the engagement in typical Elw...

John Clayton's A Little Gassy In The Morning
And now for a little stomach-churning media goodness. One of the inevitable downsides of ESPN's new "Live" SportsCenter are some of the slip-ups that occur during live broadcasts which unfortunately make it to air. Case in point — this morning, at approximately 10:28, it appears NFL beat reporter J...

Tim Tebow Welcomes Hugh to the Last Hugh of the Day
This version of the Hugh Johnson Project is brought to you by Washington St. coach Paul Wulff and his strict nutrition standards (via: SbB): ...

Hugh Won't Believe What NC State Did
NC State stunned #15 Eastern Carolina today. After State got the game into overtime, Andre Brown caught a ball, ran ten yards and asked his teammates to follow him ... to FREEDOM! They obliged. Other winners today so far include Clemson (which blanked South Carolina State), Boston College, Northwes...

Hugh Are the Best, and Joe Biden's Not Afraid of Ohio State
Barack Obama's right hand man isn't exactly a fan of Ohio State's football team: ...

Hugh There With the Sideburns; Yeah, HUGH!
All of the games so far today are still in their infancy (though the suspense has completely been extinguished in the contests involving Penn St., Alabama and Georgia Tech), which means we shall turn to our good friend "the dick joke" to get us through the early afternoon. But before we do that, wo...

Auburn Dean Concerned His Students Might Do Something Embarrassing On National Television
Here's a letter from Auburn's dean of students Dr. Johnny Green that was sent out to the student population (then to us), prepping them for the big game against LSU this weekend. This seems like it could possibly backfire. No booing! ...

Clinton Portis and Brian Mitchell Radio Interview Goes Entertainingly Off The Rails
Yesterday, Clinton Portis went on John Thompson's radio show on WTEM 980 in Washington, D.C. and within minutes he and Thompson's co-host, former Redskin/Eagle Brian Mitchell , were at each others throats. B. Mitch has been critical of Portis in the past, which prompted the feud, and the DC Sports ...

Curt Schilling Puts the Moves on Cindy McCain?
Everyone knows that Curt Schilling loves John McCain. But can the Republican presidential nominee trust the Red Sox pitcher when it comes to something much more important than an election...his wife? At a recent charity event, Curt Schilling confused Cindy McCain with his wife and held hands with h...

Hugh Johnson IV: Hugh Can't Mess With the Bulldogs
South Carolina put up a tremendous fight and gave us the exciting college football we all hope for early in September. No. 2 ranked Georgia had the ball bounce their way throughout the day, literally in the end zone at one point, but SC never quit. A nice two minute drill put together by Chris Smell...

Hugh Johnson III: It's a Penis Joke, See
In order for Penn State fans to really view their dominance today of Syracuse as a moral victory, the "Nittaly Lions'" point differential must be greater than the number of years JoePa has been head ball coach in Happy Valley. In legit football action, South Carolina is giving Georgia a real fight. ...

Why Are There So Many Posts About Hugh?
Maryland is running all over the 23rd ranked Cal Bears. So far we've learned that Jim Henson is a former Terp and that Cal isn't very good. Be sure to send your brilliant observations to "The Hugh Johnson" via AIM. So a cal wide receiver just got knocked out basically and threw up his green Gatorade...

Who Are Hugh?
I'm relatively new to the Hugh. I'm meeting Mr. Johnson for the first time today and hoping he'll be gentle. Clearly, Cal has not recovered from the loss of DeSean "Obama" Jackson and finds themselves trailing Maryland early. In the annual battle of teams that traditionally suck the most, Temple and...

Lakers Guard Shoots Down "Chinese Magic Johnson" Nickname Prefers "Monkey King"
Sun Yue is 6'8 and was signed by the Lakers this summer after being drafted in 2007. He's announcing his nickname preference now so there's no confusion once the season starts. The season won't start until his visa is approved, but don't call him the Chinese Magic Johnson. Instead, per Yahoo, he wa...

Titans Linebacker Keith Bulluck Serves Notice He's Coming for "Oucho Cinco"
Football players are so witty. You see the comedic work Bulluck is doing there? He added a vowel! The Titans linebacker is still stewing over Chad Johnson scoring a touchdown and celebrating with a television camera as a prop last season. So now Bulluck is letting Chad Ocho Cinco (nee Johnson) know...

Reebok Benches Ocho Cinco
Those of you who watched the Bengals game today and were expecting Chad OchoCinco got Chad Johnson instead. At the last minute, Chad was forced to wear a "C. Johnson" nameplate on his jersey. Apparently, while the NFL has decided not to get in his way, Reebok wants their money. ...

The Day's Final Hugh
So it turns out that finding a picture of a cheerleader near the letter H is a bit tougher than I imagined. Regardless, East Carolina is sticking it to West Virginia, Notre Dame is still as awful as you could have hoped, and Washington is sticking with BYU in an great game. So yeah, things are star...

Hugh Got What I Need
OK, so Ohio State and Michigan both one, robbing 98% of us of some serious schadenfreude, but there's more football to come! The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are taking on Central Michigan over on Fox Sports Net, so feel free to play along in the comments. There's one more edition of the HJP left...

Hugh Say He's Just a Friend
Ohio State got the lead back, but they're still struggling against Ohio so I'm sticking with today's theme. The Buckeyes are locked in a battle with their cross-state "rivals" while the real McCoy's to their Hatfield's find themselves in a similar situation over in Ann Arbor. Meanwhile Temple is ac...

Ocho Cinco's Name Change Papers Reveal His Creative Kids' Names
Tired of hearing about Chad Ocho Cinco yet? Me neither. The Smoking Gun has his name change documents and while they are mostly unexciting, we've learned a few things about the man. Apparently he claims to have no ulterior reasons for changing his name. I guess "Sticking it to Roger Goodell" wasn't ...
