Watch Jan Hooks And Phil Hartman In The Weird, Gorgeous <em>Love Is A Dream</em>
Jan Hooks, the fearlessly silly Saturday Night Live cast member and world-renowned Alamo tour guide, died today at 57 of a serious illness, reports TMZ.

Little Man United Fan Flips Out Over Her Preschool's Blue Uniform
In the world of soccer, there are reds and there are blues. Sure, there are green and white and purple jerseys, too, but the great divide is between the reds and the blues. In the video above, one bawling little Manchester United fan shows just how deep these color allegiances run....
John Rocker Made An Ass Of Himself On <em>Survivor</em>
As ready-made Survivor villains go, John Rocker was always a bit too good to be true. A beefy dude with a hot temper, a notorious past, an empty head, and a (presumably) well-stocked bank account? Fans might have been rooting for him to stick around for hate-watching purposes, but there was no way h...
We Have A Halloween Cereal Problem
It's Halloween season, now, and if you've taken your keen consumer eye into certain participating supermarket chains, you may have noticed the (for a limited time only!) return of the familiar monster-themed General Mills cereals of yore: Count Chocula, Franken-Berry, and Boo-Berry....

AHL Mascot's Backstory Totally Includes A Dead Firefighter [Update]
Via Puck Daddy, this is Scorch. He's the newly revealed mascot of the AHL's Adirondack Flames. He was probably purchased a local Halloween superstore. But his shoddy construction and uninspiring photoshoot locations are probably the least problematic thing about him....
Sweet ESPN Martial Arts Broadcast A Throwback To Network's Early Days
If you're old enough to remember any of the 80's, you know that ESPN wasn't always the home to 24-hour jabbering analysts and NFL talk shows. In its more fledgling days, the WWL aired whatever content to which it could obtain rights; thus, Americans were introduced to wacky hat-wearing and fingerg...
New Glarus Spotted Cow: Overrated Beer From An Underrated State
Wisconsin is a really cool state, and I swear I'm not being a condescending Northeast elitist about it.

That's assuming you have a device that will play it,...

Jets backup quarterback Michael Vick did a dumb thing this week when he kinda-sorta admitted that he wasn't all that prepared to play in the second half of the Jets' 31-0 loss to the Chargers on Sunday because he didn't take his weekly scout team reps seriously enough....
High School Play Features Some Of The Worst Tackling You'll Ever See
This brief highlight is ostensibly supposed to show us what a talented high school wide receiver Angelo Wiggins is, and I suppose it does that, but what it really teaches us is that high school football players can't tackle for shit....

Tommy Wingels Pantses Jonathan Quick to Score
