30 Previews In 30 Days: The Denver Nuggets
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that couldn't locate D in the alphabet: The Denver Nuggets. When last we saw them: Finished 50-32, second in the Northwes...
Tennessee's Arian Foster Refuses Interview Requests Unless You Speak Pterodactyl
Sigh. The Vols are in the process of preparing for their road game at Georgia. A game that CBS had the misfortune of selecting. At least Jonathan Crompton isn't starting at quarterback for the Vols. You get the feeling that CBS' Gary Danielson might have refused to call another game quarterbacked b...
City Of Tampa To Red Sox: "Bring A Snorkel"
Oh, by the way—that other Sox franchise had its World Series dreams crushed yesterday by, let's see here ... Tampa Bay? That's the team that plays behind the orange juice factory, right? Well, even though they won their first playoff series ever like five minutes ago, they (or one Tampa baseball col...
Brad Childress: Our Punter Is A Drooling Moron
Even though the Saints lost MNF due to the improbable late game heroics of Gus Frerrote and the missed opportunities of the Saints (Gramatica), most of the attention is focused on Reggie Bush and his ridiculous punt returns. Bush's 71-yard punt return to the end zone resulted in Vikings coach Brad C...
Oh, For The Days Of Rape And Murder Questions At Debates
The second Presidential debate is tonight, coinciding, quite helpfully, with the first night off of the baseball postseason. I spend about 45 percent of my workday reading political blogs from all sides of the spectrum, some conservative, some (OK, more) liberal, and absolutely none written by tha...
Behold The Majesty Of The God Shammgod Basketball Card
If you're like me, you've never considered your sports card collection complete without an autographed God Shammgod. But does such a card even exist? At last, proof that it does. And what a glorious piece of cardboard it is. From Sportscards Uncensored: ...
Cowboys Would Like All Those Press Meanies To Cut Them Some Slack
After losing to the Redskins and almost blowing a 17-point lead against the Bengals, Cowboys fans are understandably nervous and the press is beginning to bore in with uncomfortable questions. But the Cowboys would like you to know that this is very upsetting to them. It's a role that Jerry Jones' t...
Eli Manning's House Is Fully Automated; Kind Of Lame
Just say the words "New Jersey condo" and the thought immediately comes to mind; nothing was available in Manhattan? Hey, Eli Manning is quite happy with his new crib, and that's because he barely has to raise a finger when he's there; it's practically all automated. Here we see him in his den where...
John Lackey Will Reverse Earth's Orbit And Keep Replaying This Game Until Angels Win
So for those scoring at home, Boston's 3-2, walkoff victory on Monday was the third time that the Red Sox have eliminated the Angels from the division series (2004 and 2007 were the others), a fact that did not sit well with LA starter John Lackey. In fact, Lackey insisted after the game that Boston...
Morning Blogdome: Was the Kimbo Fight Supposed to be Fixed?
•Kimbo destroyer Seth Petruzelli adds to the suspicion: "My original plan was to throw out push kicks, they're called teeps, have him think that I'm going to throw them to try to rush in more, and then shoot in on him, obviously... but the promoters kinda hinted to me, and they gave me the money to ...
Red Sox Squeeze Into ALCS
Not even Rally Monkey's shocking murder earlier in the game could keep the Angels from setting themselves up to win Game 4 of the ALDS, with Reggie Willits occupying third base with one out in the top of the ninth. But then, a botched squeeze bunt, resulting Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek's ass tag o...

ALDS Game 4: Angels Vs. Red Sox
If the Angels lose, they go home. If the Angels win, they ... go home. If they tie, you will never sleep tonight. Those are your options. The pitchers pitching are Jon Lester and John Lackey. The announcers announcing are Chip Caray and Buck Martinez. The jumpers jumping are everybody except you ......
Reggie Bush Will Surely Bring Out His Slippery Backdoor Moves Against the Vikings This Evening
Even though tonight's game isn't the marquee match-up the MNF schedulers had hoped for in the beginning of the season, seeing Adrian Peterson do his Purple Jesus thing against a shoddy Saints defense could be entertaining. The Saints are giving three points, mostly because they're home and the Vikin...
Once Again, Philadelphia Fans Do Their Part To Keep Their Reputation for Upstanding Citizenry Intact
And then there's the other Philadelphia sports team. No, it wasn't all mirth and merriment in the 215 sports community this weekend after the Eagles surprisingly dropped a home game to the Redskins. All that talk about the Birds being the class of the NFC East this season has quieted down, now that ...
'Naked Van!' Could This Be The End For The UC Davis Marching Band?
What happens when a new, straightlaced band director tries to instill a little discipline into a notoriously rowdy college marching band? Hilarity ensues, of course. Welcome to the UC Davis Aggies Marching band, which is apparently in big trouble with university authorities for a series of recent ru...

(Late) Afternoon Blogdome: Mess With The Hoff, You Get The Horns
• Wildcat Rider: "Hey Hoff, what's up?" "Ah, not much. You know, just bein' the Hoff." "You got anything cookin' this weekend." "Oh, you know it! Big stuff happening." "Like what?" "Eh, maybe go hang in the student section at the Arizona game and take some pictures with my cellphone. I have season t...
'Shrine To Futility' Growing Outside Of Wrigley Field
As we chronicled this morning, Cubs fans passed through the anger phase of their playoff mourning ritual, and are now seemingly on to acceptance. A solemn 'Shrine of Futility' outside of Wrigley Field has been growing by the hour, as Cubs fans leave notes and artifacts lamenting their team's failure...
Hockey Night(s) In Europe
The NHL season hasn't even really started yet, but the Tampa Bay Lightning already have two losses. That's the same number of losses my rec league hockey team has and we didn't even have to go to the Czech Republic to earn them. (Heck, we don't even have uniforms.) The New York Rangers are the benef...
