Woody Sez: Put That Judge In The Hall of Fame!
Woody Paige and Jay Crawford fans can breath a sigh of relief: sexual harassment charges against the two have been thrown out of a Manhattan court.

This is why I love the internet: The Love Of Sports brings us a great list of NCAA quarterbacks that might have made it under your radar.

Pre-Draft Fantasy Update: Fred Taylor To Split Carries, Arrested [UPDATED]
It's stories like this that give the phrase "arrested at 4 a.m. outside a South Beach Club" a bad name. Miami Beach police charged Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor with disorderly conduct yesterday outside the awesomely named "Club Cristal". Taylor wasn't jailed, but instead pinky-swore...
A Tale of Two Bullpens
•Back Away From the Ledge, Mets Fans: In all fairness, you can't expect a major league bullpen to hold a one-run lead for almost three whole innings. The Mets relievers wasted another strong performance by starter Mike Pelfrey, as Aaron Heilman walked in the game-winning run in the bottom of the nin...
Starting 0-1 Hurts, And It Should
You know that the shittiness of a boring sports summer (with apologies to Michael Phelps) is subsiding when the universities of America put on their pads and start beating the hell out of each other again. But as great as the sport of college football is, it doesn't naturally lend itself to many tea...
Sweet Lincoln's Mullet! The Sarah Palin Sportscast Video Is Here
Sorry to barge in on your holiday weekend — for God's sake, put on some pants — but I just got back from he movies and found this great video in a basket on my doorstep. It's the one we've all been waiting for, a gift from the cold, desolate North: A sportscast featuring presumptive Republican Vice ...
It's Clemson. It's Alabama. It's A Live Blog, Sucka!
Here on the first college football Saturday of 2008, we've already seen the likes of Michigan, Virginia Tech, and Pittsburgh endure losses right out of the gate. And yet one more Top 25 team is guaranteed to wake up on Sunday morning with an 0-1 record. Will it be Clemson, led by the down-home Tomm...
Wheaties Box Cover Announced: Any Guesses?
If you said Michael Phelps, well, then you weren't paying attention to all those stories about his breakfast habits. Nope, the fourteen-time Olympic gold medalist has elected to go with calorically-charged Frosted Flakes. That means Wheaties honours fall to five-time gymnastics medalist Nastia Liuki...

Utes and Young Manhood
Nice storyline from today's Michigan/Utah game: Paul Kruger, victim of a vicious stabbing earlier this year, is playing for the Utes. Utah's starting defensive end, along with his younger brother Dave and teammate Greg Newman, were attacked back in January by a group of unknown tough guys outside a ...
Get Ready For The Los Angeles Saints In 2009...Maybe?
An unidentified partner of the man trying to bring the NFL back to Los Angeles told a local paper earlier in the week that he had "no doubt" that the city would be home to a pro team in 2009. And we report that with all apologies to USC. Of course, no team has been identified by the league (or anyon...
High School Kicker Booted Off Team for Acting Like, Being Girl
Let this be a lesson to all young girls out there: nothing positive can come from having Kathy Ireland as a role model. Kacy Stuart, prospective place kicker for McDonough, Georgia's New Creation Center high school, has been booted from the team for having the audacity to not be born a dude. Kacy ha...
Rudi Johnson Released From Bengals, Presumably For Good Behavior
You KNOW you're washed up when even the Bengals don't want you around anymore. Such is the case with Rudi Johnson, the tough Bengals running back whom you could pencil in for 1,300 yards and 12 touchdowns each season. At least that was the case before the franchise ran him into the ground. Last seas...
HUGH 3: Back In Training (Part 2)
We've enjoyed two big upsets today, and with the Clemson-Alabama game yet to come (and to be live blogged right here!), we can count on yet another Top 25 team eating the dirt before day's end. Most of you have weighed in on Virginia Tech, but there's still more football to be discussed. Get us your...

Skip Holtz Will Eat Your Children In Broad Daylight
Playing the role of the disgruntled Asian kid was the East Carolina football program, who hosted Virginia Tech this afternoon and pillaged the game after the Pirates returned a blocked punt for a touchdown in the last two minutes to give Skip Holtz a 27-22 win over the Hokies and our first upset of...

LSU Now 2-0 Against Teams That Recently Beat Michigan
The LSU Tigers have just finished up their tilit with Appalachian State, and it wasn't as close as some people expected.
