The Giants Are Obsessed With Paula Abdul
You might remember last year, when Barry Bonds became the only man to ever dress up as Paula Abdul and not need fake breasts. (It was for the yearly Giants' "American Idol" contest, or something.) Well, the Giants pulled off the stunt again this year, and we have to say, this whole Barry Bonds and B...
The First Rule Of The Super Bowl Is, You Do Not Talk About The Super Bowl... Or The Big Game
The NFL, of course, has the term "Super Bowl" trademarked, so you can't use those particular words to promote any kind of a party or gathering for the event. Not only is it illegal, but if you close your eyes and say "Super Bowl" three times, Ed Hochuli will appear in front of you and rip your godda...
Broncos RB Damien Nash Is Dead At 24
Nash collapsed after a charity basketball game he was hosting, and was pronounced dead at 6:41 p.m. No details or cause of death are available as of the time of this post....
I Agree Completely, He Really Shouldn't Have Made It Rain
I hope that one more post doesn't overdo it on the Pacman Jones story, but I did particularly enjoy this report from WSMV in Nashville. One line in particular really does tell you all you need to know. "He shouldn't have made it rain, then." Yes....
Farney Apparently Has An Email Account
Because there's nothing more ethically sound than quoting a freaking Craig's List ad and extrapolating it out to connote normal human activity — and little more fun! — The Big Lead thinks Ryan Freel might be having a little Craig's List morning fun....
Dominic Rhodes Has A Secret That's Running Down His Leg
Earlier this week, when would-be Super Bowl MVP Dominic Rhodes was arrested for a DUI, we kind of let it pass. DUIs happen all the time, are more tragic than funny and there didn't seem to be any extenuating circumstances about the arrest. He was pulled over, he was over the legal limit, he got bust...
Matt Millen Laughs At The Pain He Causes You
You know, we're starting to think that the only things that would survive a nuclear holocaust would be cockroaches, Kevin Federline and Matt Millen. And at least the cockroaches would feel kind of guilty about it....
Pacman Jones Doesn't Like To Make It Rain
Time for your Pacman Jones update ... and it's a fun one. Everybody's favorite bouncer biter is in even more trouble today, as the search warrant for him has been made public. All kinds of doozies in here:...
Ghosts Closing In On Pacman Jones
So our pal Pacman Jones is still having some trouble with that whole strip club shooting in Las Vegas over the weekend. In fact, he appears to be smack in the middle of everything....
The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches
The fine folks at Yellow Chair Sports, amused by the Norv Turner retreads of the world, have put together this handy flowchart of NFL coaching changes. It's awfully inventive — you probably need to see the large version to truly get it all — and features both an extended middle finger and Wayne Font...
Jim Sorgi Is Willing To Scrounge For Endorsement Opportunities
Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Jim Sorgi — he of the crushed larynx and perpetual clipboard — apparently has a stiled, if bemused, sense of himself: He is actually applying to be the Maytag repairman spokesperson....
Chargers Blogdome: Norv!
We kind of can't believe Norv Turner is back coaching in the NFL. here's what they're saying about the Norv Turner hire in San Diego ......
A Strip Club Incident That Might NOT Have Featured Pac Man Jones
You know, it almost seems natural: When there's a triple shooting in Las Vegas at a strip joint called Minxx Gentleman's Club, you tend to just assume Pac Man Jones was involved. (Or Stephen Jackson. Maybe Olin Kruetz.) Jones says, though, that rumors saying that he had something to do with it are f...
A Very Brady Ash Wednesday
As was discussed here over the weekend, Tom Brady is going to be a daddy! (We've already got our baby shower gift picked out). It's never our place to judge, but we can't help but wonder how this whole thing is playing at home with the folks. Not only is their son not planning to marry the mom, actr...
Tom Brady's Sperm Is Clutch
Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady have been broken up for a while, but a few months ago, she gave him time to set up in the pocket, and he delivered. Moynahan is pregnant, and the baby, according to various reports, is Tom Brady's. The fetus has already been offered several scholarships....
Could We Be In Danger Of Losing Michael Irvin?
The New York Post, which is never ever wrong, tosses out some potentially fun Michael Irvin/ESPN gossip this morning....
What You See After You Hang Out With The Gonzaga Basketball Team
From the Things We Don't Understand file, we end your day with this entirely random video that features Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and "Saved By The Bell"'s Mr. Belding playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" with "metal" "band" Metal Skool....
Hey, How Come All We Got Was A Team Ghana Keychain?
German hospitals are reporting a huge upsurge in maternity reservations for the month of April, which happens to be nine months after the 2006 World Cup was hosted in that country. Give us a minute while we figure out what's going on....
Eli Manning Has A Hard Time Meeting Girls
We don't listen to the radio much — we're too busy with Meat Loaf and REO Speedwagon on an endless iPod loop — so we missed this little tidbit from the Opie and Anthony "show." Some guy named Jason Itzler, who used to run the NY Confidential "escort" service, was a guest on the show, and the hosts a...
