'100 Percent Cheese Free' Apparently Not 100 Percent Nut Free
Meet Syd Davy, better known to Minnesota Vikings fans at 100 Percent Cheese Free (it's Rip The Packers Day, I guess). He was the subject of our About Last Night Wakeup Image this morning, and as promised here's an explanation as to what he was doing at the Patriots-Broncos Monday Night game. Don Cha...
So Rick Telander Meets Jay Mariotti Sweaty and Nude...
The long-standing feud between former Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti and current CST columnist Rick Telander has been well-publicized and generated notoriety given its potential for violence. Once Jay quit, the yelps of joy from inside the Sun-Times' newsroom could pretty much be heard (or...
Septuagenarian Shooting Guard Suits Up For College Hoops Team
Who says college basketball doesn't have great seniors anymore? Meet smooth shooting two guard Ken Wink from Roane State (TN) Community College in Tennessee. Experts say he reminds them of young Jerry West—except that he's actually three years older than Jerry West is now. Mink, a spry 73 years old,...
Browns Suspend Kellen Winslow For Defending His Testicles
Can a team suspend a player for defending his own nether region? It appears that's exactly what the Cleveland Browns are doing with Kellen Winslow, and excuse me if I call them on their bullshit. On Monday Cleveland suspended Winslow for one game for "unwarranted, inappropriate, and unnecessarily di...

LA Times Sports Writer Chooses Not to Lop Off Penis; Paper is Thrilled
LA Times sports writer Mike Penner made national news last year when he wrote his "Old Mike, New Christine" column about his life as a transsexual and his decision to undergo surgery so he could become "Christine Daniels" for the rest of his journalism career. Well, just like a fickle woman, Mike ch...
Begun, The Blog Wars Have
David Berry never started out to be the Che Guevera of the sports blogosphere. He's actually quite mild-mannered — even for a Canadian — and doesn't even own a beret. But sometimes these things are out of one's control, and Berry these days has found his situation the cause celeb among his basement-...
Not Possible!: The Legend Of Steve Buckhantz
You may remember me saying earlier that I'm not a huge NBA fan, but maybe that's because I don't get to watch enough games narrated by Steve Buckhantz. The Washington Wizards play-by-play man is shall we say ... easily excitable. Like Gus Johnson-level excitable. And because this is the way things w...
The Fact That Kimbo Slice Lost is Purely Coincidental
Even though Elite XC said that Kimbo Slice's controversial loss to pink-haired Seth Petruzelli wasn't the death knell for its slipshod fight promotions company, it appears that proclamation was 100% false. Today, ProElite Inc., the owners of the EliteXC has officially closed up its sweat shop foreve...
Joba Chamberlain Will Not Tolerate Any Strip Club Heckling
I have no idea how Alex Rodriguez is not involved in this story, but here goes. Remember how Joba Chamberlain was nailed for DUI at 1 a.m. on Sunday in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska? Here are the inspiring details of that evening, which ended with our portly hero being pulled over for speeding i...
It's Obama And McCain ... AFTER DARK!
So over the weekend, the two candidates for President — Sen. Barack Obama, head of a Muslim sleeper cell, and Sen. John McCain, organizer of the first Hanoi chapter of the Ku Klux Klan — spoke at the Al Smith Dinner, a big Catholic charity event held in Manhattan right before the elections every y...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Oklahoma City Thunder
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that isn't even supposed to be here today! They are: The Oklahoma City Thunder. When last we saw them: Finished 20-62, fi...
So What's The Deal With That Tacklin' SEC Ref?
The most frequently submitted tip over the last 48 hours or so is the YouTube clip of that lunatic umpire who lowered the boom on South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia as he tried to run for a touchdown against LSU. For a good while, I didn't even believe it was real. It had to be one of those f...
Switching Mikes In Midstream, The 49er Way
Well, here is your new face of the San Francisco 49ers. Initial thoughts? Aside from being totally hyp-no-tized, I have to say that it really couldn't be any worse than the old one. There was perhaps no coach in the NFL one wanted to see succeed more than Mike Nolan — really, has anyone ever had a b...
The Rather Remarkable Self Destruction Of Larry Johnson
Details continue to come out concerning Chiefs running back Larry Johnson and an altercation with a woman at a Kansas City nightclub on Oct. 10, and it's interesting, if depressing, reading. Already scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 3 on an assault charge for pushing a woman at a nightclub, Johns...
Um, What The Hell, Patriots Fans?
Sorry to start your day off on the wrong foot, but several people have sent this in; a fan at the Monday Night game in Foxboro last night purportedly wearing blackface. I guess that's what this is — a closer shot is shown following the jump — although I'm no expert on such matters. Would Ted Danson ...
Why We Love Soccer: The Long, Impossible Circus-Like Goals
At first I figured this had to be one of those doctored Gatorade commercials, like the one in which the ball girl climbed the outfield fence for a foul ball at a minor league baseball game. But no, apparently it's real. Here's New York Red Bulls rookie goalie Danny Cepero following his 81-yard goal ...
The $400,000 New York Jets Tickets
Hey, Jets fans! Are you excited about the new Meadowlands stadium opening in 2010? Are you also an obscenely rich business tycoon in a recession-proof industry and lacking all economic conscience? Then you are in luck—or you were—when it comes to securing a seat in the new stadium. Unlike the Giants...
