Match Your Hair Band To Your Oriole
Stepping in the Chevy Cobalt Transport To The Land Of Collective Experience — we like to try this from time to time — we present you this rockin' video from an up-and-coming band called Starship, which, apropos of nothing, decided to litter their video for "It's Not Over (Till It's Over)" with mid-8...
He's Got Some Great Open-Field Moves
We did not see this over the weekend, but apparently, after California's win over Washington on Saturday, Golden Bears running back Marshawn Lynch got a hold of the motorized stretcher cart and went to town. This is yet another reason, as we all know, we need the bullpen car back....
50 Cent And Jay Wright, Best Pals
We knew 50 Cent had no problem with taking cash for somewhat embarassing gigs, but we still found it amusing that he, apparently justifying Villanova's tuition, showed up at coach Jay Wright's midnight madness bash last week. We just hope the Illini's Bruce Weber signed up REO Speedwagon....
Sir, Please Allow Me To Retort
The Bills play the Patriots this weekend, and, just for shits and giggles, we present you this video of a Bills fan from last year who would like everyone to know that, in his opinion, the Bills have a more skilled roster and a better coaching stuff than the Patriots....
Meanwhile, In Detroit ...
This video, shot by a fan from the Comerica Field left-field bleachers just beyond where Maggio Ordonez hit his World Series-trip-clinching home run Saturday afternoon, is yet another example of why baseball is the greatest thing on earth. (At least until the Cardinals blow the next two, which is no...
For Those Few Seconds Of Needed Mirth
Just to clear that Buzzsaw taste out of our mouth — hey, it's Arizona at Oakland this week; that'll be fantastic — we've watched this video about five times this morning....
We'd Love To See Schilling And A-Rod In The Cockfighting Arena
While rooting around the world's strangest billionaire creation today, we came across this mock ad for a Red Sox-Yankees game on ESPN — apparently, its makers wanted it to be bought by a network somewhere, but had no luck — and we were immediately charmed. Frankly, all sports should be cockfighting....
Soon, Congress Will Make The Wizards Illegal
If you haven't heard, the Washington Wizards' new slogan for the 2006-07 season is "Go All In," which is possibly a reference to Gilbert Arenas' love of playing online poker at halftime and is definitely not something that makes much sense. To quote DC Sports Bog:...
Lawrence Phillips Hits Bottom, Is Sure He Can Go Lower
And so in the end, Lawrence Phillips leaves us the way we always knew he would: receiving up to 20 years in prison for running into three kids with his car after a pickup football game. The former Cornhuskers /Rams /Dolphins /49ers /Bobcats /Alouettes /Stampeders /Dragons running back was convicte...
Nobody Said No Like The Mid-80s Lakers
Just to continue our cavalcade of strange videos from the 1980s today, here's a "Just Say No" video from the Showtime LA Lakers. You really haven't lived until Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who of course knows nothing about the demon weed, say he doesn't need drugs, he's got a higher thing....
Bless You Boys!
As the Detroit Tigers play the first ALCS game in 22 years tonight, we thought we'd dig up this old "Bless You Boys" video about the 1984 Tigers, the first non-Cardinals team we ever remember enjoying. It's fun and full of '80s kitsch, of course, but we particularly like the pop star cameo halfway t...
Steve Young Can't Take It Anymore
We're sure, in the wake of a ridiculous $1.7 billion dollar deal, the folks at YouTube won't let this stand very long, but if you watched "SportsCenter" this morning, you say Michael Irvin — shockingly! — ramble on like, well, a retard for about five minutes about why the Ravens belonged in the top ...
"What The Fungus??!!"
This, friends, is the lasting legacy of YouTube, and it's why they — and we — will probably end up in hell. Though that's probably not fair: We haven't properly market-tested the newscasting technique of focusing the camera on the top of one's head....
"This Way To Baggage Claim — Ow, Jesus!"
Another reason soccer fans rule: They have taken the time-honored tradition of fans meeting their team at the airport after a road game, and used it as an excuse to beat the crap out of them. Imagine if the Yankees would have landed at LaGuardia on Sunday morning, and people were throwing beer at th...
Joey Barton's Action-Packed Minute Of Fun
We took a little longer than probably was appropriate to post this, but, once Soccernista explained it for us, there was no way to avoid talking about Man City's Joey Parton and his one minute of karma bungee jumping....
Michael Lewis' Next Book Will Be About Field Goal Blockers
To start us off today, we'd like to bring you the most amazing blocked kick we've ever seen, from Mr. Mottram at Mr. Irrelevant. The high school kid must have figured out the snap count or something, and pretty much could have called a fair catch. You see something like this, and you wonder how it d...
Ah ... When The Catchphrases Felt Only SLIGHTLY Warmed Over
Here's your little blast for the past today: As difficult as it is to believe that Hootie and the Blowfish were ever considered cool — we're not sure that actually ever happened — it's, these days, just as difficult to comprehend ESPN being, you know, down with the kids. These two unique cultural cu...
There Are All Kinds Of Ways To Cheer For Your Team
They do some unusual things involving football down there in Texas, but this strange cheering tradition from the Texas A&M Aggie Corps might very well be the weirdest. We don't have the foggiest idea what's going on there, and we're not sure we want to know....
It's Sager Bomb Time!
So a new blog devoted simply to tracking TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager and various NBA bon mots has launched at Donning Craig Sager's Suit. And boy, do they have a doozy to start: This blink-if-you-miss-it four-second clip of Craig doing a shot of what he renames a "Sager Bomb."...
"You Jackin' It?"
Well, here it is: Carl Monday being bum-rushed on "The Daily Show." The segment is as entertaining as we could have hoped — we love Jason Jones' Monday-esque intro — and, we hope, succeeds in finally crossing Carl over to an America that will never, ever be ready for him....
