FIRE MILLEN
Sorry about the headline, I just felt left out. Everyone else is chanting it or holding a sign. I wanted to join the parade....
So, A Bit Of A Correction...
This is the first correction I've had to post here. It's a little bit of a landmark for me, so I'm kind of proud, though it's probably best if it doesn't become a trend....
Clearing The 1 o'clock Table...
• Chargers 26, Colts 17. This advice may be a little late, but I really think Tony Dungy should've rested people this week. • Pittsburgh 18, Minnesota 3. Pretty poor performance at home today by the Vikings, especially in a game they needed. They went down like Bryant McKinnie. • Seahawks 28, Titans...
Setting the 4 o'clock Table...
• Dallas @ Washington. I think you'll want to watch this one when you see your other two options below... • Cincinnati @ Detroit. Because someone needs to prove to Matt Millen that is is possible to resurrect a moribund franchise. • Cleveland @ Oakland. There are only 3 games at 4 o'clock today, whi...
All The Sudden, It's All Colts
I blinked in the 3rd quarter, and all the sudden, the Colts are leading the Chargers 17-16. Dwight Freeney hammered Drew Brees from behind to force a fumble, and Peyton Manning hit Dallas Clark in the endzone to take the lead....
Pittsburgh Leading The Other Relevant Game
The Steelers have a 7-point lead in the only other relevant game being played at 1 o'clock. Ben Roethlisberger scored on a 12-minute 3-yard touchdown run for the Steelers....
Things Going Well for the Chargers
With just over 2:00 to play in the first quarter, the Chargers lead the Colts 10-0. They've sacked Manning twice, and picked him once, though they gave the interception away because they're greedy....
Setting The 1 o'clock Table...
• San Diego @ Indianapolis. Today, they settle it once and for all: Manning or Leaf? • Pittsburgh @ Minnesota. It's too bad that Minnesota only plays once today, because Fred Smoot really prefers the doubleheader. Major playoff implications here. • Arizona @ Houston. Because Christmas is a time when...
About Last Night...
• NFL. Broncos 28, Bills 17. Rod Smith catches an impressive 11 balls for 137 yards. Buffalo counters with an impressive 12 penalties for 82 yards. Advantage, Denver. • NBA. Suns 87, Grizzlies 91. Memphis has six scorers in double figures, handing Phoenix their fourth loss in five games. • Boxing. 7...
To Watch Tonight...
• NFL. Well, you should probably watch the end of this Giants/Chiefs game... it's pretty good. • NFL. Denver @ Buffalo. Watch as Jake Plummer shows JP Losman what facial hair is all about. • College Basketball. Virginia @ #11 Gonzaga. Adam Morrison's facial hair role model, the Virginia Cavaliers ...
Giants Lead Chiefs At The Half
Thanks mainly to a goal-line stop of Larry Johnson, one of the worst defensive efforts you'll ever see by the Chiefs, a turnover late in the half, and a Jay Feely field goal attempt that was evidently influenced by divine intervention, the Giants lead the Chiefs 10-3 at halftime....
Today In The Premiership...
I don't know a whole lot about soccer, but I'm trying to learn... and I'm dragging you along with me, kicking and screaming....
A Bizarre ABC Programming Choice
While Fox and CBS are showing some big-time college basketball and NFL games, ABC has countered with some lame golf event that pits PGA Tour players against LPGA players and Champions Tour players....
The Afternoon In College Hoops...
• #14 UCLA 68, Michigan 61. Jordan Farmar and Arron Afflalo both went over 20 for the Bruins, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, enemy of people who sew last names onto uniforms everywhere, had 9 rebounds off the bench. • Tennessee is currently throttling #7 Texas. I know it's only my second week doing...
Someone At Fox Loves The Damn Sleigh Bells
Every ten seconds or so in the Patriots/Bucs game, someone at Fox is hitting the button to play some goddamn sleigh bell noise. It's like the producer put his ADD child in charge of the audio for today's broadcast, and the little bastard is pounding the sleigh bell button like he's playing Ten Yar...
Sources Say Reggie Bush Turning Pro
The Los Angeles Daily News is reporting that Reggie Bush will turn pro and is already being advised by Mike Ornstein of Reebok, who also used to work for the Raiders. When pressed to reveal their sources, the Daily News identified them as "pretty much anyone who watches any football whatsoever."...
A Couple Of Naughty Longhorns
Two Texas Longhorns are in trouble, and their timing could be considered poor. The Austin Police Department released a statement last night saying that they were investigating two different criminal incidents involving individuals "involved in the UT athletics program," which sounds like a nice wa...
About Last Night...
While you were hoping that Santa Claus chose to ignore your behavior last night......
Week In Deadspin: A Marquee QB Story
• Matt Leinart sent a lot of people to our site, and then tried to make it clear nothing happened at all. For the record, as part of our job description, we believe no one. • We gave Skip Bayless the royal treatment, and no matter how mean we might have been, we still felt too nice. • Some things ...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you realize that fly fishing scholarship is probably unrealistic ... • College Division I-AA championship game, Northern Iowa vs. Appalachian State, at Chattanooga, Tenn. Yes, when we hear that ASU is playing, we always think Mountaineers. [ESPN2] • NBA: Miami at Philadelphia; Washi...
