Here Is A Terrible Performance Of "God Bless America" By A Woman Wearing The City Of San Francisco On Her Head
The Beach Blanket Babylon is one of this country's longest-running and best-known musical revues, and features performers who wear ridiculous hats.

If You Have Two Quarterbacks Then You Probably Don't Have Tom Brady: Your NFL Late Games Viewing Guide
It was a wild start to the day, so let's take it down a notch, relax and watch CBS. If you're not interested in Jets-Pats, I guess you could just go take a nap until the Sunday night game or baseball starts or something. Nothing else worthwhile going on. ...
The Jets, To The Patriots: "Hang On A Minute"
The Patriots' hurry-up offense is quick—too quick, according to the Jets. They point to a crucial moment in the Patriots win over the Broncos two weeks ago in which the Patriots had sped up their offense so much between snaps that the Broncos didn't have time to make substitutions. That's not fair: ...
Your NFL Sunday Open Thread
The lights are low, the shades are drawn, we're eating sriracha-based chili: let's watch some football. Big 'ol slate of early games and then soft landing in the afternoon, where you're more or less stuck with the Jets-Patriots game, unless your one of the country's many overzealous Jags fans. Fort...

Ben Roethlisberger Criticizes Todd Haley's Offense, Public Gleefully Awaits Vesuvian-Level Meltdown
The Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger relationship did not get off to the best of starts. Haley was hired to replace Roethlisberger-favorite, Bruce Arians, and then proceeded to never talk to Big Ben. Six weeks into a 2-3 season and Roethlisberger is returning the fuck you. The Pittsburgh Tribune-R...
The Red Sox Pull Off Trade For John Farrell, Will Get "Marginal" Piece Not Named John Farrell In Return
John Farrell will be managing the Boston Red Sox next year and Mike Aviles (reportedly) will be an infielder for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Beer Of The Week: Australia's Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale
When I dropped the six-pack of Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale on the counter at the liquor store, the clerk immediately began singing its praises, in what sounded like an Australian accent. This was pure happy coincidence, best I could tell....
Fan Runs Onto Field In The Middle Of Live Play During Florida State-Miami Game
Idiots On The Field tend to perform their antics during breaks in play; that's why security guards ring the baselines in between innings of baseball games, et cetera. Tonight's Idiot in Miami took things to a whole new level, though, rushing onto the field during a play in the first quarter of Fl...
Dolphins Center Mike Pouncey's Newest Tattoo: Teardrop Andrew Jackson, Trollface Ulysses S. Grant, And Old West Bank Robber Ben Franklin
You have to admire the commitment to civic-mindedness, history, and patriotism, but that is one ugly tattoo. We do like giving Andrew Jackson the teardrop tattoo—a tattoo within a tattoo, probably symbolic of Old Hickory's involvement with the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that set in motion the Trail ...

Tim Tebow Has Officially Trademarked Tebowing
Word trickles out of Jets practice that Tim Tebow is now, finally, the legal owner of the term "Tebowing." This doesn't mean you or I can't continue to talk about or write about Tebow. It just means we can't profit off of it. (What does this mean for ESPN, where Tebow=Profit?)...

Which TV Market Is Getting Screwed This Sunday? An Analysis Of NFL Viewing Maps
The NFL's regional programming rules are famously byzantine, which is why the Wikipedia article trying to explain them all is an insane 18,971 words long. (That's enough words to get you two-thirds of the way through Of Mice and Men, for chrissake.)...
What Is A Chop Block, Anyway, And Why Was Last Night's Call Against Seattle A Bad One?
Barry wrote earlier about the safety Niners coach Jim Harbaugh declined in last night's game. The safety would have made the score 15-6 rather than 13-6, and would have pleased those who wagered on the Niners (who were -7 at most books) and vexed those who wagered on the Seahawks. Barry also noted...

The four players implicated in the Saints bounty scandal are in a kind of limbo, as their suspension appeals make their way through through federal court, as well as the league's CBA-mandated appeals process. The latest movement comes in a Louisiana District Court, where yesterday the NFLPA filed...
