Cowboys vs. Seahawks: 2nd Quarter
- There are the Hasselbeck ladies. Obviously, they're pretty bundled up and it's hard to tell, but... I think Hasselbeck's mom might have a slight edge in that matchup. I can't make the call from here....

Cowboys vs. Seahawks: 1st Quarter
- The biggest reason I'm excited about this game is that it's the last I'll have to see this year of Jerome Bettis....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 4th Quarter
- Thanks to Tony Gonzalez and Trent Green's newfound testicles, the last fifteen minutes of this game might actually be worthwhile. The picture there is Larry Johnson's dad, and I thought we should probably feature him, as he's been as important to the outcome of this game as his son has....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 3rd Quarter
- It's halftime. The picture there to your right is Lawrence Tynes' field goal doinking off the post. Enjoy Jerome Bettis in the studio....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 2nd Quarter
- That's Julie Green again. Sorry... she made an impression. I just kind of assumed that Trent Green would be with someone who looked a little bit more matronly....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 1st Quarter
- Hello... welcome. That's Herm Edwards and Tony Dungy, and in case you didn't catch the NBC pregame show, they're friends. They really like each other. A lot....

To Watch Tonight...
We're getting this out of the way now, because after this, it's all football, my friend......

The Key To Any Good Party Is The Ice Sculpture
If you were wondering what happened to your invite to Gilbert Arenas's 25th birthday party, it got lost in the mail and somehow ended up in the hands of Jamie Mottram of Mister Irrelevant, the FanHouse, and formerly of Sports Bloggers Live. His Arenas Express Card got him into the party, and he was ...

Today In The FA Cup...
The Premiership is actually taking the weekend off, deferring to the third round of the FA Cup, a big tournament open to all the teams in England, be they a top Premiership team, or a collection of lumberjacks with a Nerf soccer ball....

If Sean Salisbury Asks You To Look At His Phone, Don't Do It
Sean Salisbury briefly disappeared from the ESPN airwaves earlier this year. Pro Football Talk noted that Salisbury had been suspended (scroll way down), but the Worldwide Leader gave no reasons for his absence, in fact, they never mentioned it at all. And on December 27th in a column at CBS Sport...

The Pac-Man Jones/George Jones Collaboration
Some kind of incident involving an all-terrain vehicle, Pac-Man Jones, and his neighbor, country music legend George Jones, has forged a friendship between Pac-Man and George (no relation). I expect them to release an album together very soon....

Larry Brown Has A New Job
With Allen Iverson having moved on to much, much greener pastures, Larry Brown is now officially back with the Philadelphia 76ers. He had been doing some unofficial consulting for a while, but now has the official Executive Vice President title. I don't know how much that job pays, but Isiah Thomas ...

Here's To All That Gorgeous Snatch in FLA
The headline is a quote from Slap Shot, which is both a hockey movie and the first thing I think of when anything hockey-related comes to my attention. The clip is a remarkable sequence from a Thursday night game where Patrik Stefan blew the equivalent of a 2-inch putt, and the commentator acted lik...

About Last Night...
• NBA: Mavericks 90, Spurs 85. The Mavericks cannot be beaten and should probably just be named the NFC East Champions, too. • NBA: Wizards 116, Clippers 105. Gilbert Arenas had 35 points on his birthday. More on that in a bit. • NHL: Blue Jackets 4, Ducks 3. Just another night in the Klesla/Malhotr...

Playoff Pants Party: Eagles Vs. Giants
Seriously, it has to be frustrating. The Eagles make their mad dash to win the division and grab the third playoff seed ... and they still have to play the goddamned Giants in the first round....

Leftovers: Peavy Will Double Park And You Will Like It!
• Jake Peavy is rather particular about where he parks his car. [Stan Musial's Stance] • This is why it's not a good idea for coaches to have blogs. [Times Union] • Hey, remember Ugueth Urbina? [Metsquire] • For a guy so charmingly named, Tootoo is kind of a jerk. [On The Juice]...
