Joe Gibbs Decides That's Just About Enough
All told, and we mean no offense to the legend here, but we think we preferred the older, fatter Joe Gibbs to the one we see today....
If Someone Had To Be Called "Champ," Might As Well Be LSU
We hope LSU fans do not take it as an insult that hardly anyone considers their title legitimate; every season has to crown one champion, however the champion is crowned, and LSU is fortunate enough to be that team. More power to them; they deserve it, we supposed. But let's skip the charade....
About Last Night
What you missed while glued to the furniture ... • BCS title game: Yet another tiger mauling. LSU 38, Ohio State 24. • College basketball: Drought comes to the Savannah ... Kansas State holds opponent to NCAA-record low one field goal in second half. • NBA: Suns make it rain ... Steve Kerr pep talk ...
Geaux Back to Columbus
Thanks to the omniscience of the Bowl Championship Series we can officially crown the Louisiana State Tigers as the National Champions Elect of College Football. And while we're at it, let's all give a big thanks to Ohio State for keeping things interesting for a few minutes longer than the last tim...
Finally Time To Put The College Football Season To Rest
OK, we are finally here. The college football season, at last, ends tonight in New Orleans. You know it's an important game in a SERIOUS locale, because they've put the cheerleaders to work. It's Ohio State vs. LSU, for something weird thing we're calling a "national championship." Or something. En...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you pipe in fake crowd noise to your living room ... • College football: BCS National Championship game, LSU vs. Ohio State, at New Orleans (8:15 p.m., ET). If only the bowl season could last forever. [Fox] • College basketball: Alabama State at Jackson State (8:30 p.m.) Do not taun...
Jessica Simpson Is Officially The Yoko Ono Of Sports
First of all, this post makes me feel dirty; Pat O'Brien dirty. And we did talk about it over the weekend, so perhaps you could skip the whole thing? No? Read on then....
Supermodels Not Included
We have always been wary of getting a tattoo of anything involving sports fandom, mainly because: a) you never know when your team will betray or your favorite player will end up murdering his houseboy; and b) tattoos really hurt, and we cry easily. But one Patriots fan has no such qualms....
Salvaging The Massacre In Mobile
Poor Illinois. Poor Hawaii. You folks think you can fathom utter and total humiliation in a January bowl game? Because when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your alma mater's football team, you'll know what to do!...
Where In The World Is Jose Lima?
This is a sad thing for us all to come to terms with, but Jose Lima — along with his, uh, ample wife — is not going to be in the majors next season. But worry not: There's always Korea....
LSU Will Also Beat Your Ass At Tetris
The day will surely come, my friend, when football will exist only in The Matrix. Why should humans risk serious injury and National Anthems by the Oak Ridge Boys when we can play the whole damn game on an Xbox? We're a step closer to that already, as LSU has revealed that its quarterbacks — Matt Fl...
LSU? Ohio State? How 'Bout a Split?

Look Out For The Tigers
• Could Memphis go undefeated? [Vegas Watch] • The other Brett Favre. [The Sports Hernia] • If the NFL ran the NCAA. [SimonOnSports] • The most apt, depressing analogy we've heard yet: The Illini basketball team is Fred Thompson. [Black Heart Gold Pants] • Whom to root for in the playoffs if you hav...

Not Every Black Man In America Is Martin Lawrence
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
Roger Clemens, Still Talking, Or Something
So, the whole Roger Clemens "60 Minutes" interview has run now and, as you'd pretty much expect, it settled nothing. (Honestly, what happened to Mike Wallace? He used to be tough, right?) Clemens is denying, now he's suing Brian McNamee and everyone's all, "Christ, we're still talking about this?"...
