The Last Worthy MNF Game, We Suspect
In what should be an awfully fun and hopefully high-scoring Monday night game, the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals, teams going in the ole "opposite directions" storyline. This being the NFL, everyone will forget the storylines once, you know, they actually play a game....
Tank Johnson's Bodyguard Killed
Willie B. Posey was pronounced dead after being shot in the back during a fight outside a Chicago nightclub last night. Police wouldn't immediately confirm if it was the same Willie B. Posey who was arrested at Tank Johnson's house during a raid on Thursday, but Tank Johnson was seen leaving the hos...
This Is Why He's Not Known As "Feelings" Johnson
Just because we've decided to wait just a little longer to get our arms around the Marcus Vick story, we take a brief hiatus with the tale of Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson, previously one of our favorites because he has the name "Tank Johnson" entirely on the back of his jersey. We love that...
Pearlman About As Pleased With Rocker Right Now As Rocker Is With Him
You might have missed our interview with John Rocker yesterday, but there's one person who didn't: Jeff Pearlman, the man who wrote the initial SI story on Rocker (and one-time Deadspin interview himself)....
Our Interview With John Rocker
Two days before Thanksgiving, at Local 138, one of our favorite watering holes in New York City, we sat down with, of all people, famed immigration expert John Rocker, and talked for about an hour. Really. We did this. See? Sometimes we interview people....
Days Of Blunder
In a move that we liken to John Glenn falling out of the teacup ride at Disneyland, NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson broke his wrist on Friday when he fell out of a golf cart during a celebrity golf tournament in Florida....
Watch Your Beer Around Carl Lewis
The first time we ever remember hearing about steroids, as far as we can recollect, was Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson, a guilty finding made all the more hilarious because he's Canadian. (Kind of.) Well, over the weekend, Johnson revealed that he has finally, 18 years later, figured out who famously...

Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
'Twas a pretty solid afternoon of college football, considering that the slate didn't look that promising at the beginning of the day. South Florida managed to pull the upset of West Virginia, Florida and Florida State played a decent game, Kentucky nearly upset Tennessee, and South Carolina knocked...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Urban Meyer must be thinking about how to use The eBay to stave off the surging Seminoles right about now. - Jlworld...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
If Florida wins out and doesn't make the BCS game they really can't complain after scheduling back-to-back 1-AA teams to finish the regular season. - Preciousroy...
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 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 ...
