Just Pray These Aren't Already Sold Out
Good news! The new Jesus sports statues are in, still piping hot from the kiln and ready for shipping over at Catholic Shopper.com. But unlike in previous versions in which He was smack dab in the action, Our Lord and Savior seems content to kibitz from the sidelines this time, refusing to get direc...
The Inside Story On Gilbert's Birthday Bash
The big party last week was, not surprisingly, the big Gilbert Arenas birthday party, complete with ice sculpture, Clinton Portis and, of all people, Kissing Suzy Kolber's own Unsilent Majority. (Obviously, Agent Zero should be a bit more judicious with the guest list.) Unsilent spoke with Free Dark...

Wooo!!!!!!! Roll Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!!!!!!!!!
You might have noticed, when Nick Saban, officially the new Guy Who Is Everything Wrong With Sports (at least until next week, when we've forgotten about all this business), arrived in Alabama, an enthusiastic fan fought through the crowd and planted one right on the guy. (Saban, ever cool, took the...

Something To Think About While Watching Sean Salisbury

Ah, To Be Young And Tony Romo
Another reason YouTube is changing our lives in new and exciting ways: The already infamous Tony Romo fumble moment from Saturday night is being reenacted by spasming lonely fools in their bedrooms. You're totally wrong, Cuban: YouTube is Allah's gift to us all!...
Many People Taking Photos Of Two Men Hugging
We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after...
Now They Just Need Marky Mark To Play Linebacker
As Garcia Mania continues to sweep the greater Philadelphia area — if just because "Westbrook Mania" doesn't have the same indelible linguistic flow — we point out to you the spoils of quarterbacking an NFL team that is the company in a company town: Incredibly awkward local television commercials! ...

What you missed while chastising the other team's players for over-celebrating ... • NFC playoffs: It's Jeff Garcia's world now. We just live in it and have more hair. Eagles 23, Giants 20. • AFC Playoffs: Brady's back! Patriots 37, Jets 16. Kneel before Zod! • NBA: Phil Jackson has a lot o' wins .....
Giants vs. Eagles, 4th Quarter
- 3rd and 2 for the Giants from the Eagles 6, and Eli Manning just can't make anything happen. He fails to see a wide open Plax in the back of the endzone, and ends up throwing it away, which, I suppose, is all you could expect from Eli Manning. They settle for the field goal, and it's 20-13 Eagles ...

Giants vs. Eagles, 3rd Quarter
- The Eagles are getting the ball here to start the second half. And if they score here, it would force Eli Manning into a lot of passing situations, which would be fantastic for people who hate Eli Manning....
Lampley's Accuser Really Could Have Done Better Than Lampley
The woman who accused Jim Lampley of slapping her around has been identified, and it's... well, it's a nice pull on the part of Jim Lampley, that's what it is. Her name is Candice Sanders, and she was Miss California USA 2003. What she was doing with Jim Lampley, I couldn't tell you. She probably ha...
Giants vs. Eagles, 2nd Quarter
- The Giants are on pace for over 400 yards......
Giants vs. Eagles, 1st Quarter
- Alright, here we go. I'm expecting this Eagles/Giants game to be more eventful and more... disastrous. NFC East games tend to veer towards the absurd. This will not be a quality football game, but it will probably be fun....
