Crowning Our Pants Party Winner
Well, the bowls are finally, FINALLY over, and, as much as the bowl system might be ridiculous and a relic of a time when everybody gathered around the fireplace and listened to the games on their 100-pound radios, we must confess that they were more entertaining than we had anticipated. We could wa...
Let's Go To The Studio, Where It's Jimmy With Keggy And The Gang
Considering that FOX has barely showed any college football this year and therefore has no established halftime "in the studio" team, we were curious how they would handle last night, which after all was the supposed biggest game of the year.

Of Open Mics, And A Very Special Message For Buzz

Should Belichick Be Punished For His Limp Shove?
As far as we can tell, Michael David Smith of The Fanhouse was the first to make an issue out of this — we even laughed it off ourselves — but a couple days later, more people are asking: Shouldn't we be a little more pissed at Patriots coach bill Belichick for just shoving that cameraman out of the...
