Refreshingly Free Of Jim Nantz, It's Puppy Bowl III
Puppy Bowl III has been going strong for over an hour now... these little guys just don't get tired. Well, one of them did... he decided to just lay down at the 50-yard-line for a while. One of the bigger, meaner dogs with lower self-esteem called an immediate press conference and accused the other ...
The Bull Dance Was A Nice Touch
I've purposely avoided most of the Super Bowl hype throughout the week... I haven't watched any preview shows, no NFL Matchup type shows, not even SportsCenter. I didn't want to get burned out and head into today's game wishing it was already over....

• EA Sports values the white woman. [Newmianity] • Shawne Merriman will be forever memorialized with "The Merriman Rule," forbidding guys who fail pee-pee tests from appearing in the Pro Bowl. [ESPN] • Remember the chivalrous son of a bitch who sued the Angels because he didn't get a tote bag on Mot...
That Other Guy... He Wasn't Even Acting
That's Stephen A. Smith's brief appearance on "General Hospital," an ABC daytime soap that never really recovered from the loss of Jack Wagner (don't judge me). I've gotta hand it to Stephen A., that wasn't bad. He was able to step outside himself, fully immerse himself in the role, and, just for a ...
Let's Not Forget What Today's All About
I know today is a day to party and have fun and forget about life's troubles for a few hours, but don't forget to take a few seconds to remember what really matters: deceased horses who once hung from the ceiling while wearing royal blue blindfolds and all sorts of turquoise S&M gear....
We're A Long Way From The NFL, Kordell
You might recall that when Will and The Balls took on Kordell Stewart and Andre Rison in their little exhibition for Pros vs. Joes, that our heroes were informed that Kordell planned on making a comeback to the NFL. And sure, maybe the show is a good way for Kordell to keep himself in shape, and get...

About Last Night...
• NBA: Lakers 118, Wizards 102. Kobe wanted revenge ... Kobe got revenge. • College Basketball: BYU 90, (25) UNLV 63. And today, God smiles. • NBA: Knicks 94, Magic 86. The game's leading scorers: Eddy Curry and Darko Milicic. They grow up so fast....
College Hoops Compendium: Beaver Exposure
• Iona 69, Rider 57. A bunch of teams got big wins yesterday... NC State, Texas A&M, USC, Colorado, South Florida. But I doubt that any of the winners of those games felt as good as the Gaels of Iona. Coming into the day with an 0-22 record, as perfect as untouched snow, the Gaels were finally able ...
Michael Irvin, Unplugged
Here's the Michael Irvin speech that I promised earlier ... just a few highlights that could be considered ironic, but for the most part, it's actually quite endearing. It's a heartfelt speech, and, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that Bishop T.D. Jakes was mentioned at a Pro Football Ha...
This Means It's About Time For Super Bowl Week To End
While I'm trying to truly appreciate my favorite spam e-mail subject line of all-time — "Experience the outbreak of firmness in your pants with Viagra Soft Tabs" — here's something equally weird....

The Extorted St. Louis Athlete Is... Ronnie Belliard
A little over a week ago, Will brought to your attention a mysterious unnamed player who was the target of an attempted extortion ... his identity was unknown at the time, and this story was a lot more fun then. The player is ... (drum roll)......

The Hall Of Fame Is Going To Need A Champagne Room
This one's going to be tough for Redskins fans to swallow. Michael Irvin, in his third year of eligibility, is going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of six players selected for Hall induction today, along with Gene Hickerson, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Tho...
Daulerio at SBXLI: Yes, Somehow Freddie Mitchell Got Into the Maxim Party
Maxim's Superbowl Shitshow party was everything one could hope for and so much more. The Sagamore Hotel transformed itself into a beachfront paradise with celebrities and athletes, and, of course FredEx and his Godly hands cavorting about the joint. Freddie Mitchell was attached to Irishman Brady Qu...
DeShawn Stevenson Doesn't Care About His Money
From time to time, you'll hear about a ridiculous bet that NBA players make during practice... something like putting a couple grand on a halfcourt shooting contest. And I always think, "Man I'd love to watch something like that."...
Don't Expect An Italian Soccer Update Today
You may have noticed the lack of Italian soccer in the "Viewing Pleasure" feature today (though I have my doubts). There's not going to be any Italian soccer played this weekend, or for a while ... but that'll happen when fans riot, about 100 people are injured, and a cop is killed at a soccer game....
Lil' Ronnie Throws Down the Gauntlet; Common and Kanye Answer
In what's shaping up to be the most vicious rap beef since 50 Cent tangled with Oprah, Common and Kanye West have ignored Lil' Ronnie's advice to "step off." No, they have stepped right the heck on, recording this little pro-Bears ditty, "Southside Superbowl."...
You Know What It Takes To Win High School Basketball Games?
A Maine high school basketball coach lost his job after he instructed each of his players to lay their hands on their crotch pickles. It's not quite as dirty as it sounds; he didn't do it in a Michael Jackson sort of way. Really, it was just a slight variation of "gutcheck time," just a little farth...
