Another NFL Coach Bites It...And It's Not Herm Edwards
Actually it's...Jon Gruden?!?! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired their doll-faced head coach last night.

A Loaf Of Bread, A Bottle Of Wine, And Tyler Thigpen
KC Magazine—which is devoted to the City of Kansas, not the Sunshine Band—is currently sponsoring a bachelor and bachelorette auction featuring the sexiest singles in the city, to benefit the local chapter of Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

You know, when this loveable little tyke first appeared in the inbox, no one knew where he lived or what his secret Clark Kent-like identity was and, frankly, I didn't want to know.

Brace Yourselves ... There's Another Baby Mangino ...
Ok, I did not see this one coming.

Ashley Stewart Sues Larry Johnson, Poses In Wetlands Area
As if Larry Johnson didn't have enough problems — he's returning to active duty this Sunday for the tragic factory fire that is the Kansas City Chiefs — now he's being sued.

Your Halloween Costume Was Not This Good
I went to two pretty decent Halloween parties last weekend and saw a lot of clever costumes—Tony Stark with glowing chest plate, Anton Chigurh, Carmen Sandiego, Sewer Urchin, half the cast of "The Maltese Falcon," two Sarah Palins, 16 Jokers, and a dude in a Chinese gymnast leotard. But none—none—of...

College Football Preview: Check Your Messages Knowshon
LSU fans aren't only the most insane in college football, they're also the most resourceful. Perhaps insanity and resourcefulness aren't conflicting traits after all. Why do I say this?

Tony Gonzalez to Chiefs: Thanks, You Have Ripped Out My Soul and Left Me For Dead
It was a little surprising to have Tony Gonzalez still stuck in Kansas City at the end of yesterday's riveting NFL trade deadline but the 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end's quest for a Super Bowl will apparently have to wait another lifetime.
