One Perfect Night In New Orleans. Let's Try To Make Sure There Are More
It's difficult to find much to make fun of from last night in New Orleans, a kinda shocking 23-3 Saints victory over the Falcons, except for maybe this lady's sign, which we've been looking at all morning with little more than the foggiest idea of what she's trying to say. (Yes ... Katrina was jus...
Welcome Back To New Orleans
It is somewhat of a relief, as viewed in the Spike Lee's amazing When The Levees Broke — still available on HBO On Demand, still highly recommended, if you have 4 1/2 hours to kill — to learn that as horrible as the circumstances were in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina last year, they weren...
Henry Vomits, But Isn't Arrested. Kudos, Chris!
We know we touched on this earlier today, but it really does warrant its own post....

It's Christmas In Dallas!
So DC Sports Bog alerted us to some old Dallas Cowboys videos dug up by outstanding Cowboys blog Know Your Dallas Cowboys, and they're really amazing....
Our Teams: A Requiem In Three Acts
I. So now it can be written and known: The spinning, sprinting 12-yard sideaways rugby punts are not, in fact, a device that has come to revolutionize the sport of football. Sorry, Coach Zook. Our Illini very well might be the worst team in Division I-A, and we see no reason they wouldn't lose to Ne...
NFL Roundup: Celebrate Good Times, Bengals!
Notes from Week 3 in the NFL......
NFL Week Three, Update #4
• The Giants have taken an interesting approach to the year, electing to only play in 2nd halves of games. The strategy is to build an overconfident feeling in the opponent, and then pounce and take advantage in the second half. The downside is that they always have a huge deficit to overcome, but t...
NFL Week Three, Update #3
• There are a couple of ass-poundings going on, both of them, I believe, directly influenced by the Eagles collapse last week. The Giants are experiencing a massive letdown, and the Eagles are pissed off about it. The Giants are down 35-0 to the Seahawks, and the Eagles are molesting the 49ers, 24-3...
NFL Week Three, Update #2
• All but two of the early afternoon games are going down to the wire. The only teams to wrap up victories before the final minutes were the Jets and the Redskins. I'm not going to go so far as to say that a college team could actually compete against the Texans, but I believe Ohio State could score...
NFL Week Three, Update #1
• The Steelers/Bengals game has been an entertaining contest thus far, despite CBS's efforts to make it as lame as possible. There was some pre-game trash talk between Joey Porter and Chad Johnson that appeared to be clearly staged. It took place in a camera-friendly location, and the trash talk was...
Your NFL Games Of The Week
• Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh. I've been looking forward to this game more than any other this weekend, college or pro. You've got Joey Porter and Chad Johnson talking trash back and forth, with T.J. Houshmandzadeh getting in on it... it's Carson Palmer's revenge game against the team that crippled hi...
Week 3, Previewed The Tecmo Way
When we go through our Friday selection of various weekend previews, we hit the usual suspects (King, Simmons, Zimmerman, O.J.) and then always make sure to drop in on The Ex-Burgher's Tecmo Bowl previews. Essentially, he uses the Tecmo Bowl prototype (with updated rosters!) from the Tecmo Super B...
Chad Johnson, Perhaps Unaware Of His Surroundings
So remember that hit Chad Johnson took at the end of the Bengals-Browns game last week? Well, over at The Fanhouse, the omnipotent Mighty MJD found the video of Johnson's postgame "discussion" with reporters. We think maybe he wasn't quite ready for an interview yet....
Do Not Disrespect Joey Porter's Dogs
Some difficulty for Pittsburgh Steelers unhinged linebacker Joey Porter this morning; apparently two of his dogs — a pit bull and a mastiff — escaped from Porter's residence and killed a miniature horse at a nearby farm. The horse, being miniature, was actually smaller than each of the dogs, so that...
He Actually Will Wear A Leather Helmet
Need to be reminded of just how old you really are? Old Falcons kicker Morten Andersen, considered one of the best kickers of all time, last made a Pro Bowl in 1996. The guy was an All-American kicker for Michigan State in 1981....
The NFL Doesn't Want You To Get Drunk
So the NFL is running a contest called Take A Player To School Day, which encourages kids between the ages of 6 and 12 to apply for a player to accompany them to school....
Look Inside Big Ben. WAY Inside
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made his return from an appendectomy — and, ostensibly, from that little head-vs.-pavement business — last night, and it didn't go well, with the Jaguars shutting out Big Ben and the Steelers 9-0 on Monday night. It was the lowest scoring game in Monday Night ...
