Jimmy Clausen's Drinking Game Prowess Prompts Investigation By Notre Dame
Jimmy Clausen is the starting quarterback for Notre Dame. Last year he, along with the entire team, had a horrible season. Which was disappointing because Clausen, the nation's consensus top quarterback, committed to Notre Dame in such an understated fashion: By pulling up in a limo to the College ...
Source: Favre Cedes Starting Job To Rodgers (Make It Stop!)
Our long national nightmare may soon be over. Details from Monday's late-night summit between Brett Favre and Packers coach Mike McCarthy are beginning to leak, despite our best efforts not to care, and it appears that our flip-flopping hero wants no part of a quarterback competition with Aaron Rodg...
The Brewers Imploding Late In The Season? That's Odd
Well, it's the first week in August; time for the annual scuffle that marks the beginning of the end for the Milwaukee Brewers. Last year it was manager Ed Yost and catcher Johnny Estrada going at it. And one year later almost to the day, Prince Fielder pounces on pitcher Manny Parra in the dugout a...
Aaron Rodgers Era Begins The Way You Thought It Might
Aaron Rodgers was welcomed with all the warmth and patience that one might expect from the down-to-earth, dairy-loving folks of Wisconsin on Monday; he was booed back to the Stone Age.

Yankee Revenue To Immediately Double In New Stadium
Last year the Yankees brought in an estimated $327 million to lead all major league baseball teams. Not bad considering that in 1973 George Steinbrenner bought the entire team for $10 million. But if you think those revenue numbers are big, you ain't seen nothing yet. When the new stadium opens next...
Hitler Is Pretty Much Fed Up With The Brett Favre Situation
This isn't the first time someone has added subtitles to this scene from the German film Downfall for parody goodness (see below). Best part: When Hitler asks all Jets, Buccaneers and Vikings fans to leave the room, and about three quarters of the general staff depart. I had no idea! Here's a soc...
Javon Walker Talked Out of Retiring By Al Davis
Because, honestly, who among us hasn't been overwhelmed by the powers of persuasion of Al Davis? Not that Raiders fans were that optimistic about this season to begin with, but the receiver you just signed to a six year $55 million dollar deal wanting to quit doesn't instill a lot of pre-season con...
The Erin Andrews Floozy-Dress Mess Gets Dissected From All Angles
When the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Michael "Randball" Rand got Erin Andrews to discuss her thoughts on the infamous Mike Nadel column, not only was it a great get for him, but it also showed a testier, more defensive side of EA. "I think my overall reaction is that it's really sad that in 2008 … I ...
And Now It's Time To Pretend Like The Last Four Months Didn't Happen
According to one prominent NFL reporter, the scenario of Brett Favre showing up to Packer camp (highly unlikely at the time) would be the equivalent of an "atomic bomb" going off in Green Bay. Favre's ghost and public spectacle were wearing thin on some of the Packer faithful as they attempted to tr...

For the Cubbies, Mark Cuban Is Ready to Put a Billion Where His Mouth Is
Mark Cuban has never shied away from spending money. Take for instance, his recent arbitration case against former Dallas Mavs coach Don Nelson. Cubes lost out on $6.3 million but insisted that he was pleased with the outcome because the truth about Nelson apparently came out during the proceedings....
Much, Much More Trouble for 'Rampage' Jackson
Terribly sad news in light of MMA star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's arrest from a couple of weeks ago. You might recall, "Rampage" was taken into custody for driving recklessly and striking several vehicles in the process. After his arrest, no drugs or alcohol were found in his system, and police rel...
Ken Griffey Jr. apologized for his throat-slash gesture (but not to the guy he actually aimed it at - Reds broadcaster Jeff Brantley): "I would like to sincerely apologize to those fans offended by my wrongful actions last Saturday night.

Next time, I'm definitely using UPS for all of my point-guard shipping needs: "Out of 190,000 employees throughout the world, FedEx Express president and CEO David Bronczek, one of the company's most influential executives, had chosen to reach out to an ordinary customer service representative, work...
The Unforgettable Memories Of That Terrible Manny Ramirez
It was a shame I didn't link to the this Manny farewell column today by Boston Herald writer Gerry Callahan, who gave Manny Ramirez the swift Boston dropkick out of New England that was a little over the top in its good riddance-ness. Callahan destroys Ramirez's character with such viciousness that ...
Wow! Top Basketball Recruit's Mom Overcame 190,000-1 Odds to Receive a Call From FedEx's CEO
And FedEx's CEO just happens to be a huge Memphis basketball booster—having donated at least $500k to Memphis athletics. What a happy coincidence! Man, it's amazing how these things work out.
