Redskins vs. Seahawks - 3rd Quarter
• It's official... Shaun Alexander won't be returning. Perhaps I'm crazy, but this doesn't seem like that big of a negative for the Seahawks. The Redskins aren't going to let anyone run on them today, be it Shaun Alexander, Maurice Morris, or Curt Warner. Now, they've got to put the game in the ha...
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 2nd Quarter
• Damn... Seattle WR Darrell Jackson's return is also questionable. He took a knee in the back. Losing Darrell Jackson and Shaun Alexander in the first 15:00 of play is a nightmare scenario for the Seahawaks....
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 1st Quarter
• Twenty-seven straight days of rain in Seattle? That's just disgusting. The Seahawks better win, because between the rain and the presence of Tony Siragusa, half of the city's population is probably already on suicide watch....
Playoff Pants Party! Redskins at Seahawks
Snore. Anybody else smell craptastic blowout on this one? Even though the Seahawks are notorious bed-shitters when it comes to the playoffs, it seems almost impossible for them to lose this game. Yes, the Redskins defense is great, Greg Williams is a multi-millionaire genius, and the offense is...hm...
OK, The Knicks Are Starting To Freak Us Out
Last night, the Knicks — the New York Knicks — won their fifth straight game, beating the Dallas Mavericks 117-115 in overtime. (We had tickets to this game but had to turn them down; hey, "Yes, Dear" was on.) These weren't weak wins either; they beat Cleveland on the road, and Phoenix and now Dal...
NFL Playoff Roundup: Riiiiipppppp!
• Honestly, we know this was covered all weekend, but man, that Carson Palmer thing was the worst playoff moment we can remember. We think Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have it tough; Bengals fans finally get in the playoffs, and two plays in, their Pro Bowl QB tears an ACL and MCL. (Quest...
Kentucky Pounded By Kansas
Unlike everyone else, Kansas and Kentucky have refused to play within their conferences today, and in fact, Kentucky appears to have refused to play basketball at all. They're getting absolutely pounded by the Jayhawks, 73-44 with about a minute left to play....
Playoff Pants Party: Jaguars Vs. Patriots
This is the late game tomorrow night, which means, if you plan your day correctly, you should be properly hammered enough by halftime to confuse that dude in the corner with some ex-girlfriend who did you wrong. (Or, for female and non-traditional male readers, uh ... OK, we're not sure what the ...
Stu Jackson, Straight Up Gangster
We remember covering the Illinois basketball team back in the early '90s, when Stu Jackson was coaching the Wisconsin Badgers. We never found Stu all that talented a coach, but mostly, we were struck by how bland and vanilla he was. For a guy who had once coached the Knicks, we were expecting some...
Scoop Jackson's Look Back
True Hoop takes on something that we've been kind of eager to sink our teeth into anyway this morning: Scoop Jackson's "Year In Review" column on ESPN Page 2. Jackson has always confused us a bit; his position as Black Columnist at ESPN has, in our opinion, allowed him to get away with continued s...
An Orgy Of Sorgi
Peyton Manning's day was limited to 12 attempts, and it's been all Jim Sorgi since. The headline might be a little misleading; Sorgi hasn't actually done anything remarkable, good or bad. He's 7/11 for 46 yards, 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. I really just liked the rhyme....
The AFC Wildcard Picture
Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, San Diego and Kansas City are all still slugging it out for the two wildcart spots in the AFC. Only two of them are going to make it, which is kind of a shame since each of them, with the possible exception of Jacksonville, are probably better than all but one team in the...
Fun With Yahoo Photos
We've all been there. You're at a party, and the big foreign dude who's always banging his head into things has taken a little too many 'shrooms. He's freaking out. He's screaming. "The dragons, man, the dragons, they're EVERYWHERE! I'm sorry, Papa, I'm sorry! Moccasins! Moccasins!"...
How 'Bout That Darrell Armstrong?!
We've always wondered what would happen if we ended up a semi-prominent public figure in, say, Chicago, or Iowa City, Iowa. As lifelong Cardinals and Illini boosters, it would be impossible for us to hide our loyalties; we couldn't pretend to root for the Cubs or the Hawkeyes even if our livelihoo...
To Watch Tonight...
• NFL. Atlanta @ Chicago. If you'd like to watch a quality football game sometime over the next 36 hours, I suggest you enjoy this one. The Monday Night game is Baltimore vs. Green Bay. • NHL. San Jose @ Anaheim. It's always fun when Original Six teams go at it. Wait, San Jose and Anaheim weren't Or...
Clearing The 1 o'clock Table...
• Chargers 26, Colts 17. This advice may be a little late, but I really think Tony Dungy should've rested people this week. • Pittsburgh 18, Minnesota 3. Pretty poor performance at home today by the Vikings, especially in a game they needed. They went down like Bryant McKinnie. • Seahawks 28, Titans...
Nate Robinson, Naked Shower Jumper
We wouldn't have thought the Knicks locker room would resemble something from "Oz," but hey, when short hopper Nate Robinson is around, one never knows....
Mark Cuban Would Like To Help You Wipe
Though this seems like more of a project for those crazy Maloof brothers in Sacramento, we nevertheless support Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's newest venture: An investment in toilet seat company "The Brondell Swash."...
NFL Roundup: "I Disagree With Your Decision And Shall Protest Thusly"
• It's funny, because if you remember when Guenther Cunningham actually coached the Chiefs, you'd understand that here, he's just giving his unique signal to go for two. • It's like the Chargers suddenly remembered that Marty Schottenheimer's their coach. • Anybody see the new ESPN magazine? (Anyb...
Artest Requests Trade
Saying that he "causes too many problems" in Indiana, Ron Artest has asked Pacers management to trade him. New York is his stated preference....
