Where Do NFL Starters Go To College?
And by "go to college" I mean commit felonies. Well, Mike Detellier has broken down NFL starters by their college conference. And while there is no big surprise, the SEC leads with 137 projected starters, there are some really surprising positional breakdowns. Coming in second after the SEC? Shockin...
Ritzy Town's Attempt To Keep Aaron McKie From Endangering Them Falls Short
Former NBA player Aaron McKie was nabbed for minor gun charges a couple of weeks ago, which prompted some of his soon-to-be Gladwyne, Pa. neighbors to start their own pamphleteering club in an attempt to warn others about his impending arrival....
Alonzo Mourning's Accused Of Being Deadbeat Casino Space User
Say whatever you want about the Wynn Las Vegas, but their debt-collections wing is clearly not messing around. Wynn, which notoriously went after Chuck Barkley for his $400,000 gambling debt, is now loosing its legal hyenas upon Alonzo Mourning, who's charity foundation owes the casino 50 large ...
Fresno State Needs More Skullet Power
We always forget how much we enjoy the College World Series. It seems to come along at just the right time; the sports world prepares to settle in for a long summer of low-stakes baseball (with the Olympics tossed in this year, just to keep us awake), so having a tournament in which everyone's play...
Maximizing Your Collegiate Experience
It might be hard to remember, but the University of Arizona was once home to a highly respected college basketball program. The 2002-2003 season in particular featured a tremendous team, including players like Andre "Iggy" Iguodala, Channing "Ham Sandwich" Frye, Will "Thrill" Bynum, Luke "Lookout" W...
Tim Russert Was A Grand Thespian
Acting! What's more fun than seeing Russert saying, "it's all about the Benjamins" while doing a fist bump? If you haven't seen Luke Russert's interview this morning with "Today," we recommend doing so immediately, but only when no one's around, lest your boss make fun of you for weeping. We still t...
Bob Knight Interrupts Speech To Give Job Recommendation
Cell phone etiquette: we've mostly nailed it down. Don't talk while driving. Don't text during class. Don't clean your ear with the antenna. Bob Knight probably treats cell phone like the 3-point line in basketball. He'll begrudgingly accept them into his world, but the minute he's appointed Mayor O...
Bad Apple LSU Fans Keep Making Matters Worse
Ah, LSU ... first you get ugly, and then you show up at the College World Series (kind of) and get a little uglier. For the record, you'd get your ass kicked in Game 2 as well....
A Special Balls Deep Message To The Class Of 2008
This is BALLS DEEP With Drew Magary (Balls® is a registered trademark and has been used with the expressed written consent of AJ Daulerio). It's gonna be like an SI Point After column, only with dick jokes. Drew's new book, "Men With Balls," featuring 100 percent all-new material, is available here....
Never Too Early To Think About College Football
It's just hot enough in New York City right now to get us thinking about college football, and The Grand National Championships is right there with us. They've decided to come up with a compelling reason to cheer for every Division I-A team. (And yes: We still call it "Division I-A." Sue us.)...
Somebody Has Been Watching "Rookie Of The Year"
Yesterday during the NCAA Super Regional, UC Irvine got out of a base loaded jam in the 7th inning against LSU by pulling the Hidden Ball Trick, which is best known to people of my generation from the movie Rookie of the Year, which also taught us that pitchers got big butts. Except UC Irvine didn't...
Duke Helps Ladies' Buttocks Feel More Comfortable
Because it's Thursday, and no Thursday is complete without some toilet humor, let's take a look at the great work done for women at the Duke football stadium....
Preakness: WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's time to let these gargantuan mammals race on their precariously thin legs and I'm pumped! Big Brown is your overwhelming favorite heading in to post time and the only real question is whether he can keep the hope of a Triple Crown alive. Continue after the jump for updates on all the goings on...
Wait, Stealing Condoms Is A Crime?
We remember when a friend of ours, in high school, gave us advice, handed down to him by his grandfather, on how to buy condoms. "The trick," he said, "is not to try to slip them in with other purchases, or anything like that. Sorry, man: You just have to steal them." We didn't take that tactic, but...
O.J. Mayo's Not The Sharpest Trojan In The Jar
This whole O.J. Mayo affair is probably not surprising to anybody who has a healthy does of skepticism about heavily recruited college basketball players' long-term goals and their abilities to make sound life decisions. As soon as Mayo signed onto USC, it was pretty clear that this kid decided Sout...
Here She Comes, Here Comes Speed Racer
Quite a messy day of Indy 500 practice yesterday, with Danica Patrick's car clipping Dale Coyne Racing crewman Charles Buckman and sending him to the hospital with a concussion. Meanwhile, rookie driver Alex Lloyd hit a wall at 223 mph during a practice run and Mario Dominguez got in a minor wreck t...
Dick Vitale Is Quite Diligent
If you've seen "Hoop Dreams," or if you've seen one of his "motivational" speeches, you see a very different Dick Vitale than the one shilling for pizza or Duke. He's impassioned, sure, but he's also optimistic and, occasionally, legitimately uplifting. You get a sense that really does want to make ...
Bring Me The Head Of Mr. Redlegs
By now you've probably heard of the tragic accident involving Mr. Redlegs, the jovial, mustachioed mascot of the Cincinnati Reds. Speeding around the warning track at Great American Ball Park prior to a game with the Cubs, Mr. Redlegs tumbled from the back of the vehicle and had his head pop off, ...
Anti-Meth Ads, Sports Style
So you know those terrifying Montana anti-meth ads that were recently taken off the air?. Well, in an inspired bit of dark whimsy, The Great Barstoolio had put together a sports compendium of the ads....
Tim Tebow Has A Steady Hand, We Hope
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is an amazing, versatile quarterback, able to chuck a pass 50 yards, turn the corner and a linebacker and plow over undersized defensive lineman. He's a Renaissance Man, a do-gooder, a man of America. His skills run deep. How deep? Trust us, you don't want to know....
