Who Can Reassemble The Smoldering Rubble That Is The Oakland Raiders?
As bad as things are going for the San Francisco 49ers this season, they aren't even close to being the most dysfunctional football team in the Bay Area. Just how bad are things in Raiderland, on a scale of 1 to Armageddon? Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (pictured) and safety Gibril Wilson are now talki...
How To Quietly Open A Beer Can. Jamboroo, Week 10.
Drew Magary's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo runs, well, every Thursday afternoon during the NFL season. Drew's new book, "Men With Balls," featuring 100% new material, is available RIGHT FUCKING NOW in stores and online here. You can email Drew here. Read him during the week at KSK. My ...
Cocaine Is A Helluva Drug
That's the second time that phrase has been used today, but in this case it seems much more appropriate. This will air on Friday's "Best Damn Sports Show Period". I love how terrified Chris Rose looks after it happens. It's almost like he's just realized that Lawrence Taylor is, in fact, crazy and ...
It Ain't Easy Being Peezy...
Popcorn-muscled Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter picked a new target this week for his venomous trash-talk and this week's victim is Jacksonville Jaguars' receiver Matt Jones. You might remember when Jones was caught chopping a pile of cocaine in a pick-up truck in June, as did Peezy, who had this to...
Gimme The Damn Drapes!
Keyshawn Johnson's post-NFL career as an ESPN analyst has established him as a compelling on-air personality. Television producers have noticed, and now the loudmouth former receiver with the sartorial flair is taking his eye for interior design to the people — and basic cable. In one of the wackies...
Drunken Redneck Browns Fan Ushers In Brady Quinn Era
These videos were taken last season, when this anonymous Browns fan — we'll call him Doyle, because he reminds me of the Dwight Yoakum stepfather character in Sling Blade — was quite comfortable with the way things were playing out in his world. But as Busted Coverage points out, now "there's a b...
The New Mayor Of Sacramento Can Go To His Left
The votes haven't all been counted yet — this is California, where we're the last to know anything — but it seems that former University of California and Phoenix Suns guard Kevin Johnson is now the mayor of Sacramento. Why is he being punished, you ask? No, he sought this office, beating incumbent ...
Brandon Marshall Would Like to Get a Few Things Off His Chest
The Miami Dolphins walloped the Denver Broncos this past Sunday 27-16 and leading the post-game victory gloating was, of course, linebacker Joey Porter. After the victory, the nine-year veteran called Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall "soft" and said the Dolphins defense "got into his head", re...
Ralph Wilson Stadium Is A Sexy, Sexy Place
Orchard Park police arrested 37 people at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, but none more special than the two found creating a "public disturbance" in the 300-level women's restroom during the Jets-Bills contest. It seems that watching Trent Edwards getting piled on while Jay Feeley seduces the uprig...
Oaks Christian Has An Overabundance Of Famous Progeny
Here are Nick Montana, Trevor Gretzky and Trey Smith, all of whom play football at Oaks Christian High in Westlake Village, near Los Angeles, and whose rather famous fathers don't have much trouble paying the school's annual $21,640 tuition, I'm guessing. If you want to witness a hilarious sight on ...
Election Night: An Excuse To Stay Up Past 8:30
Well, it's here. When I was a kid, Election Night was one of the few nights of the year I was allowed to stay up past 8:30. (Seriously, my bedtime was 8:30 until I was a freshman in high school. And you wonder why I still wet the bed.) I never knew who any of the candidates were, or even what the "...
Hey, That's Hate Speech
I've heard of slinging mud, but this is just going too far. Seen high over Denver's Invesco Field during the Dolphins-Broncos game on Sunday, this banner linking John McCain to the NFL franchise which lost 24-0 to the Falcons earlier in the day. Oakland gained 78 yards total offense in the process, ...
You're With Me, Election
Yeah, yeah, I agree; there's something clearly disturbing about Boomer being the last human to interview John McCain and Barack Obama before we all go to the polls today. But look on the bright side: The phrase "Barack and a hard place" was not uttered; Berman didn't lose it and scream at an intern;...
Cleveland Browns Fans Can Finally Say That This Man Is Their Quarterback
This is a historic moment that should preempt any sports blog's standard nighttime activities. The Browns have made a bold step, which either means they are packing it up early this year or they are still hopeful that a new face behind center can inject some life into their staph-infected offense. B...
Bengals Jerk Line Gets Its Chain Yanked
As you may have heard, the NFL is out to hunt down and destroy boorish fan behavior at its solemn and dignified Sunday skull crushing meetings. Like several other teams, the Cincinnati Bengals have what is known as a "Jerk Line," a phone number that fans can call while in the stadium to report the g...
Without This Woman's Help, Vince Wilfork Probably Wouldn't Be Playing Tonight
Bianca Wilfork isn't your typical NFL wife. She's more of a business manager for Vince Wilfork, handling virtually everything outside of football for Vince. And above all else, she watches his games closely. Very closely. Bianca put her DVR skills to good use this week, and probably saved her hubby...
T.O. Gave the G-Men Extra Motivation Today
• Dallas @ NY Giants: When the G-Men arrived at their lockers today, they reportedly found a box full of "I love me some me" T-shirts courtesy of Terrell Owens. The result, thus far, is a 14-point Giants lead in the fourth, and Owens has been held to only 30 yards on the day (though, he does have a ...
The NFC East Is One Big Hugfest
Kevin Boss, Amani Toomer, and Steve Smith (pictured receiving love from Brandon Jacobs) have been the recipients of Eli Manning's three touchdown passes as we head from afternoon to evening at the Meadowlands. It hasn't been all good for the media's new favorite Manning, he's tossed an interception ...
Vikes Put an End to the Texans' Winning Ways
• Minnesota @ Houston: Purple Jesus and the Vikings (4-4) beat the Texans 31-28, stopping Houston's winning streak cold at three. Peterson rumbled for 139 yards and reached the house once. • Packers at Titans: The game is final (19-16 for the Titans), but we have one final dispatch from Reader Mark...
Bironas Keeps The Titans Undefeated, Almost Blows It
• The Packers and the Titans got physical in the day's biggest matchup. Rob Bironas missed a makeable game winning field goal to send the game into overtime. He got the chance to redeem himself with a game winning shot to end it. The Titans are still without a loss. Damn. • Old man Favre took a beat...
