Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I understand the art of fire eating started with the Seminole tribe. It did not begin as entertainment, though; it was a visceral response to having Bobby Bowden as the face of the Seminole tribe each Saturday. - Tuffy Rhodes...
The NASCAR School Of Parenting
I'd have warned you about the profanity in there, but this video is too awesome for me to have dissuaded you in any way from watching it. I think my favorite part is when the child, around the 1:40 mark, is desperate for some fatherly affection; some sort of sign that indicates that there's a small ...
Hugh Johnson Update: Bonus Edition
And somewhere, Maurice Clarett asks his cellmate to get off him for a second, so he can check out the final score and smile....
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
I swear I just saw Maurice Clarett putting down that new sod as part of a work release program. - VanillaThrilla6...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Inappropriate conversation of the moment (and words I may be eating later): Friend1: I'm not worried about this Bo thing. Troy Smith does not respect your dead elders! Friend 2: Troy Smith feasts on your tears! - Leebert1981...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
He doesn't diddle Brady Quinn's sister, but Paul Poslunzy is earning my respect, he is much better than AJ Hawk. For the sake of comparison let's hope that he's all over Chad Henne's sister. - John L. Smith's back-hand slap...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
Corso's Gameday Math: Rutgers loses to the 'Ville by 51 last year + Wins by 3 this year = 48 point turnaround. Oh that Corso sure is a master of mathematics... 51+3=48, Incredible. - Ian, Lexington, KY...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
With the afternoon of college football winding down, South Carolina and Florida are about to come down to the wire. I have no real rooting interest, and I sort of hate Steve Spurrier... but it would be sort of awesome to see at least a couple of those one-loss "but we deserve the BCS championship ...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
I think the best part of living in Big Ten country is that you are always assured a game with Indiana, Illinois or Northwestern. Oh, did I say best thing? I meant I want to pick my eye out with a grapefruit spoon. - Victoria Times...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Glad to see Auburn is taking advantage of the loss by Louisville by being taken behind the hedges at Georgia, not too mention the side judge just pulled his hamstring. - EPS...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I slept late. What's the news on Corso's wang today? - Tuffy Rhodes...
Lonnie Smith Wanted To Shoot John Schuerholz
We had heard that Lonnie Smith, the former Cardinals and Braves outfielder whose frenetic baserunning was almost as breathtaking as watching him try to play defense (Bill James once pointed out that Smith "really does fall down almost every game), had battled some drug problems back in the late '80s...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Other than the Michigan close call against Ball State and Joe Paterno's osteoporosis, it hasn't been that eventful of a day in college football. The biggest game of the day, at least in terms of national rankings, is happening on CBS right now: Tennessee leads LSU 10-7 very early in the third quarte...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
LSU just took a 7-0 lead over Tennessee in the only moderately interesting game of the day. Jamarcus Russell hit Craig Davis for a 23-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Joe Paterno and his bionic leg were not able to overcome Wisconsin, losing 13-3. Notre Dame is mauling North Carolina, wh...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Penn State head coach Joe Paterno was plowed into by one of his own players on the sidelines, and he suffered some kind of a leg injury. It's never a good thing to see an old man hurt, but the upside is that it's inspired some of you....
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
South Florida leads Tyler Palko and Pitt 14-3 at the half, behind the strength of two fake punts, and a quarterback named Grothe that might be the best college or professional quarterback in all of Southern Florida. Florida State is hammering Virginia, 17-0 in a battle of two of the many ACC teams t...
Bigfoot Exposed?
We have no idea whether or not Bigfoot is real; heck, half the time we doubt the existence of our paperboy. But there is one brave group who is keeping the faith, and now they claim to have proof. BIRO (the Bigfoot Investigators and Researchers Organization) is blowing the lid off of this whole co...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
The final Hugh Johnson update of the day is only to tell you that there will be no final Hugh Johnson update of the day. My power was knocked out by a tree that came down in the midst of a freezing rain storm, causing me to lose all your pearls of deviant wisdom. I am really, really sorry about that...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
And Bowling Green is the school that gives Temple its first win of the season. Man, I'd hate to be that one Deadspin commenter with the BG avatar. - Suss...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
This is a fairly safe afternoon to recover from a hangover. All you need is someone to wake you up in time to watch the World's Largest Cocktail...right, we're not calling it that, but either way, get up by the time Florida v. Georgia is on and tie it on all over again. - C...
