Our Final Two Readings, NYC-Style
After the madness of the last month of our life, the first leg of the God Save The Fan tour ends over the next two nights in beautiful New York City, home of the bastard liberal media and hot dogs made of pig snout. It's Manhattan tonight, and Brooklyn tomorrow, and then we're gonna take a freaking ...
Bryant McKinnie, Back In The News, Thankfully
We will always hold a special place in our hearts for the four most prominent participants in the Vikings' sex boat scandal from a few years ago: Daunte Culpepper, Fred Smoot, Moe Williams and, today's featured star, Bryant McKinnie. Those guys have us so much enjoyment that we remain honored to hav...
Delirious About La Salle? Lemme Know

Spending a Night With Oscar
The Academy Awards might not have anything to do with sports, but they give me an excuse to run this picture from Sports Wrap. Plus, there's going to be plenty of Jon Stewart, cleavage, and gambling opportunities, all things a lot of us enjoy. Follow after the jump for my bets and my pick for best c...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while wondering whether the stuff on the ice is leaked fluid from a Zamboni, or more blood... • Pretty People and Their Writers: 80th Annual Academy Awards. You bet your sweet ass I'll be making my picks known. [ABC] • NBA: Bulls at Rockets. I'm going out on a limb and taking Houston. ...
Russell Westbrook Gets Dirty On the Ducks
I still can't tell who was on the receiving end (thanks Nike), but I'm sure somebody has already started making fun of him....
What I Learned From the Combine
There's nothing quite like a sunny Sunday afternoon spent indoors at the computer while watching live coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine. I may not be off in football nerd heaven like FanHouse's MDS but I'm content with the high def broadcast accompanied by the dulcet tones of Rich Eisen and co. T...
UCLA Is Quite Athletic
Oregon took the court wearing the latest in Nike's experimental uniforms, and for a while the shimmering black-on-black look appeared to work out for the visitors. However their second half lead was quickly erased by the Bruins up-tempo attack. Russell Westbrook appeared to tweak his ankle, but he c...
Klitschko Wins An Easy Decision Over Ibragimov
It wasn't an exciting fight and it certainly won't propel him into the big money, but Wladimir Klitschko won a unanimous decision over Sultan Ibragimov. I had the fight scored as a 12 round shutout, but the judges were a bit more kind to the Russian....
The Volunteers and Tigers Are Delivering At FedEx
I'm back from the Wizards game and I'm actually in a good mood because they won. And hey, the Bobcats minus Gerald Wallace are tough! Since I've been back I've had a chance to catch up on this 1 vs. 2 matchup and frankly, it's even better than the Wizards and Bobcats. The action has been high paced ...

This Ends Badly
That's just fucked up. The man you see above, Arsenal's Eduardo Da Silva, is about to have his tibia and/or fibula poking through his sock. Needless to say, it's pretty brutal and because you might not want to see it, I'll just link to it after the jump, along with the non-crippling Premier League a...
Wladimir's Morning Wood
Tonight Wladimir Klitschko will square off against his best opponent to date in Sultan Ibragimov in a big first step toward unifying the heavyweight title. Vitali's little brother is widely considered to be the best heavyweight on the planet and a win tonight at Madison Square Garden would cement th...
The Kelvin Sampson Era Is Officially Over
Kelvin Sampson and the University of Indiana have reached an agreement that will pay the coach $750,000 to get the fuck out of Bloomington. The overzealous recruiter has also agreed not to sue the school for wrongful termination. Although the Hoosiers have rid themselves of Sampson they still have a...

Obama Gets His Desmond Howard On
As some of you surely saw yesterday, presidential candidate Barack Obama visited Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns yesterday. We think this picture is pretty awesome. We hope that this inevitably leads to Mitt Romney, when he runs again in four years, hanging out with Keith Van Horn....
