Hey, Tennessee Fans, Cheer Up: Jon Gruden Watched That Loss On A Flight To Phoenix
Is Jon Gruden going to be the next University of Tennessee football coach? Derek Dooley isn't all that popular in Knoxville right now, and as Clay Travis wrote recently, Gruden is a logical replacement: Gruden's first job out of college was as a graduate assistant at the University of Tennessee, his...
South Carolina Running Back Marcus Lattimore's Knee Exploded In A Gruesome Injury

<em>Cloud Atlas</em>: Crazy, Brilliant, Or Both? A Grierson & Leitch Discussion
Occasionally, one of Grierson & Leitch will disagree strongly enough with the other that a discussion is in order. Last time this happened was Compliance, which Grierson loved and Leitch didn't. (That one was a huge pageview hit because it had the word "blowjobs" in the headline.) This week, Grierso...
Steve Mariucci Went For A Ride With Ragnar
NFL Network's Thursday night broadcasts are studies in contrasts: Brad Nessler's rock-solid game call accompanies Mike Mayock's best-in-the-business analysis, and then they send it to a studio panel where Rich Eisen tries (and usually fails) to wrangle his motley crew of screaming fools. Steve Mari...
The Late-October Best Picture Oscars Predictions You've Been Waiting For
Coverage of the Oscars has reached tail-wagging-dog proportions in recent years: Rather than an awards show looking back at a year of films and choosing the best of them, the Academy Awards have become the journey and the destination. Not only do movies exist solely to win Oscars, but there are whol...
Greg LeMond Calls For Cycling's Leaders To Step Down
Greg LeMond—America's only Tour De France winner—has been outspoken about cycling's problems, before, during and after the downfall of Lance Armstrong. But his scorn has been reserved not for Armstrong or the cyclists who dope, but with the people running the whole shebang: the heads of the Internat...
The Dodgers Might Open The 2014 Season In Australia
Australia, while not on the level of Japan, does love it some baseball. The history of the sport there dates back to the 1850s, and the domestic Australian Baseball League is profitable for the first time ever—thanks in part to funding from MLB. The ABL is increasingly becoming a legitimate winter l...
Chris Kluwe's "Lustful Cockmonster" Open Letter Is Now A Radio Ad In Minnesota
When Minnesotans go to vote on November 6, there will be an amendment on the ballot that would change the state constitution to explicitly prohibit same-sex marriage. Chris Kluwe, who has been extremely outspoken against the amendment, has now cut, with the help of the group Minnesotans for Equality...
A Big Huge Ball Of Crazy. <em>Cloud Atlas</em>, Reviewed.
1. I've never read the book Cloud Atlas, but I bet it's good. Judging from the film, the book must be insanely ambitious—narratively and stylistically—clearly vying to be no less than some sort of grand binding theory of everything, throughout history, forever. That sort of ambition can work on the ...

You Don't Know Me: On The Terrific And Unsettling <em>The Loneliest Planet</em>
I waste as much time on the web as anyone, but one thing I always avoid are those videos that careen around the internet that depict some poor schmoe being caught on camera doing something horribly embarrassing. I don't mind if local TV news reporters accidentally make fools of themselves—they signe...
Here's An Awkward Tiger Woods Interview On CNBC
Tiger Woods is only on CNBC for this interview with Maria Bartiromo to plug Fuse Science, his new sponsorship. Considering Woods's taciturn personality, the segment should have been a glorified commercial, a break from lots of numbers and stuff. But Bartiromo lets her news instinct take over and tri...
Terrell Suggs Acted Like A Kid With ADD On Ravens Photo Day
Terrell Suggs looked pretty good in his return to action, finishing with four tackles, a sack, and a deflection. Yes, the Ravens got blown out, but Suggs is feeling like his old happy-go-lucky self, and you know what that means: horrifying gummy smiles....
Saints Wide Receiver Joe Morgan Doesn't Watch ESPN Because Of Skip Bayless
Joe Morgan had one of the more memorable touchdowns this week when he sent a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defender flipping over him, collected himself and trotted into the endzone. Unfortunately for Morgan, he was unable to watch his highlight reel catch on the ultimate highlight reel because he is a man o...
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (ESPN): The Bears are coming off an inconveniently scheduled bye week this year. Two weeks ago, they destroyed the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-3, after smoking the Cowboys (34-18) and the Rams (23-6) the previous two weeks. They were rolling, man! And then they had to hit ...

Americans, you've got an important decision to make on Election Day.
