Hey, Hugh! Hugh Down There!
First thing I learned at internet journalism camp - always bookend an upskirt with a downshirt. Maryland continues to only get up for the big games, winning their fifth straight against a top-25er by blanking Wake Forest 29-0. And Matt Grothe went touchdown happy as South Florida smashed Syracuse. ...
Lou Holtz Is Down With Hugh
So, Lou Holtz apologized for his Hitler remarks from last night. If anyone has video of this, feel free to send along. Another guy who might have to issue an apology (a very personal one) is Terry Bowden, who wrote that his brother Tommy deserved to get canned. Texas Tech and Texas A&M are locked i...
What are Hugh Two Lookin' At?
The big showdown between the Daniels and the McCoys comes your way this evening. Meanwhile, couple of early shoot-outs going on between Syracuse/South Florida and Texas's A&M and Tech, and Georgia is up a touchdown on Jay Cutler's alma mater. Was it obvious there I have no idea what I'm talking abo...
Bonnie Bernstein's Legs Open Momentarily; DVR's Perk Up
On Tuesday morning's First Take, in the first hour (at about the :39 minute mark), many readers alerted us to what transpired. And what happened, friends, was Bonnie Bernstein momentarily forgetting that she was wearing a skirt on television, and when she adjusted herself, well, let's just say that...
Lou Holtz Might Be Taking Some Time Off
So, we didn't see this live and, at 7:30 on a Friday, well, most people who handle the video uploading duties over here are out enjoying the weekend, but according to many readers, and a couple of message boards, Lou Holtz just dropped a Hitler reference during one installment of College Football Li...
Scoop Jackson Would Like To Get Real With You For A Minute
Buried at the bottom of Page 2 today is a clarification from columnist Scoop Jackson, who caused a veritable shitstorm thanks to his B.J. Upton column, when he haphazardly implied that Upton's laziness was a reason for young African-Americans to look up to him. Not really what he meant, of course, b...
Kellen Winslow: Please Stop Asking About My Junk
Good news, Browns fans. Your cantankerously talented tight end Kellen Winslow is no longer suffering from a mysterious ailment that may or may not be related to his testicular area. And...he might even suit up against the Redskins. Winslow addressed the media at practice today and let them know that...
College Football Preview: Colt McCoy and Chase Daniel Duel for Rights to All The Oil in Texas (And the Heisman)
Back when I wrote that I couldn’t wait to watch the BYU-TCU game, I meant it. Completely. But what I forgot was that I’d be on the road in a hotel room. I don’t know why it is but hotels have the most erratic cable channel selections known to man. If you’re anything like me you’ve found yourself ly...
Scoop Jackson's Column Continues to Offend; Jason Whitlock Demands Swift Editorial Execution
Scoop Jackson has once again sparked the ire of, oh, lots of people with this latest ESPN2 column about the Tampa Bay Rays’ B.J. Upton. In it, Jackson praises Upton as the one MLB player who can “bring the game back to the hood” while using some undermining and preposterous logic to substantiate his...
Shaquille O'Neal has a Few Things He's Like to Get Off of His Chest...
Sports 620 KTAR showed up at Suns practice on Tuesday and provided The Big Angry with an opportunity to lay waste to everything in his path. The first target: Gregg Popovich, the yellow bastard who dared to (successfully) employ the Hack-a-Shaq strategy in last year's first round playoff series betw...
Oh Happy Day
Last February, I received an email from a friend-of-a-friend of the publisher at Philadelphia magazine who wanted to know if The Daily Examiner, the Philly mag blog I was writing for at the time, would be interested in having weekly interviews with Shane Victorino throughout spring training. The guy...
I Don't Believe What I Just Saw...
1988 was a year I didn't watch as much sports as I used to because I discovered Headbanger's Ball and had hair that looked like this, but I did watch the one-legged walk-off game by Kirk Gibson. (Most likely while ironing a Megadeth back patch to my jean jacket. Who got all the chicks?) As you may k...
TBS Executive Completely Drunk on Own Caliendo Juice
It's pretty easy to complain about those damn "Frank TV" ads that pop up seemingly every commercial break during TBS' postseason baseball coverage and pretty much everyone has. Even Frank Caliendo. (On a side note: I find the DirecTV ads featuring Craig T. Nelson and Heather O'Rourke even more troub...
Brent Musburger Offers Some Troubling News About Joe Paterno
Yesterday, ABC sportscaster Brent Musburger popped by the Dan Patrick show to talk about all things college football and one of the topics that came up was the remarkable success of Penn State this season under 82-year-old head coach Joe Paterno. But then the conversation turned a little grim. Musbu...
Kellen Winslow May Soldier On Against Redskins Despite Unfortunate Ball-Related Emergency
Kellen Winslow's mysterious "undisclosed illness" which has been rumored to be swollen balls according to Pro Football Talk, might still keep him out of this week's action against the Washington Redskins. Winslow's illness is still private, but according to Coach Romeo Crennel, he's recovering nicel...
Tony Gonzalez to Chiefs: Thanks, You Have Ripped Out My Soul and Left Me For Dead
It was a little surprising to have Tony Gonzalez still stuck in Kansas City at the end of yesterday's riveting NFL trade deadline but the 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end's quest for a Super Bowl will apparently have to wait another lifetime. Even though Gonzalez had politely requested a trade while ...
Warriors vs Bucks in China
Update by Fantasy Junkie: I am an idiot. Yi was traded to the Nets this offseason and yet I still think he's on the Bucks. Oh well. I'll leave it up. Just pretend that it's Richard Jefferson in the photo and it's a homecoming for him because he's really Chinese. I guess it's still the preseason for ...
Break Out Your Fashionable Drinking Pants
Deadspin readers in New York City who like beer, rooftops, bloggers and German things are encouraged to attend a truly magical New Yorkish evening at Gawker HQ's official rooftop in a model-infested section of SoHo. The event is called "Gawktoberfest" ( personally, I prefer "Guten-Blog", but I have ...
Terrell Owens Was Very Yellow On Monday
It's Tuesday, and Black Sports Online is still asking the musical question: T.O., WTF are you wearing??? How do you lose to the Cardinals and then show up in the locker room on Monday looking like this? You've just blown any chance you may have had with Jessica Simpson. Was T.O. striving for the elu...
Hey, Wait A Minute, Didn't Braylon Edwards Go To Michigan?
Here's Cleveland wide receiver Braylon Edwards proudly representing the school logo ... unfortunately though, it's the wrong school. We know that the Wolverines have been struggling lately, but Penn State, a Big Ten rival? That's cold, man. Edwards channeled the JoePa mojo to catch five passes for 1...
