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...
Bringing Rexy Back
• Lions at Bears: With Daunte Culpepper metaphorically breathing down his neck, Dan Orlovsky has responded, and has the Lions thinking about winning their first game of the season in Chicago. And now, enter the one and only Sex Cannon (who just hooked up with Rashied Davis for a TD). ...
Crappy Teams Forget They're Crappy
This could be the week that time forgot. Jobs are on the line and crappy teams all over the league are forgetting that they are, well, crappy. • Keith Bulluck, the Titans leading tackler was taken into the locker room with a rib injury. Bullock wears the radio helmet for Tennessee so coach Jeff Fish...
Daunte Comes to Detroit, Steven Jackson Blogs
• Daunte has come out of a very short retirement, and agreed to a two-year deal with the Detroit Lions. Though the Lions aren't confirming anything at this point, the contract should be signed tomorrow. This will surely turn around their season. • When the division-leading Bills (5-2) host the Jets...
Pants-Gate: Mike Singletary WILL Find Out Who Snitched
An investigation is underway in San Fransisco, and no man, woman, or child is safe from its reaches. No sir; not for as long as Mike Singletary is around. The Niners' new coach is determined to find out who told the press about his rather hilarious motivational tactics, which have brought shame and...
Goodell Asks Larry Johnson to Sit One Out, and Think Things Through
Everyone's favorite rap superstar befriending, boyfriend threatening running back has been suspended for one game without pay by the NFL. Johnson, who has been deactivated by his employer for the last two games, will not play against the Chargers next Sunday. The Chiefs didn't seem too upset about ...
Al Davis To Be Wheeled Into Court Yet Again
And so it begins ... Lane Kiffin vs. Al Davis in court, as you always knew it would end up. Bright and early this morning, Kiffin filed a grievance with the league alleging that the Raiders owe him the $2.6 million balance on his contract after he was fired in Sept., to which I respond, what took yo...
For The Next Four Minutes, Mike Singletary Will Be Coaching Pantless. Any Questions?
Already considered one of the great coaching meltdowns of all time, the real truth surrounding Mike Singletary's performance during and after the 49ers-Seahawks game this past Sunday is only beginning to emerge. First reported on XTRA-919 radio in Phoenix on Thursday is the news that the new SF coac...

The Machines Shall Rise, And All Will Fall
All right, so the world is imploding. You know this. I know this too, though only because the Wassup Guys told me. Surely, these are the last days, before the global apocalypse rids the planet of humans and leaves only some cockroaches, a few stray strands of hair and, of course, Kermit, because Ke...
Not Just Another Pretty Face
Hooo boy. The reporter here — I'm pretty sure — is Danyelle Sargent of Fox, making the Gaffe of the Season so far. And what makes this more sad/amusing is the fact that Sargent was involved in a controversy while at ESPN in 2006 when, thinking her mic was dead, blurted "What the fuck was that?" w...
Mike Singletary Will Surely Kill Someone Before The Year Is Out
The forecast for the San Francisco 49ers season changed dramatically on Sunday from dismal to dangerous; like the difference between a cold, monotonous drizzle and a lightening storm in the mountains. And we can thank Mike Singletary for that. Not only did the 49ers' new interim coach pull a player ...
Why Can't NFL Fans Celebrate Like That?
To my knowledge there haven't been any delightful female-on-female celebrations in the stands at today's NFL games, but as we all know the real action takes place in the Carolina bathrooms. Fortunately the games themselves have produced their own entertainment, unlike your average Big 10 game. New ...
