Once Upon A Time In A Buffalo Wild Wings
So I go to Buffalo Wild Wings with a couple buddies to watch our Spartans beat Purdue and some Iowa bitch starts giving us some static about changing the channel. Fuck you, Iowa bitch, I said. — kycdxx (Ed. Hahahaha...)...
What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted
I'm busy watching "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" on IFC. For those of you in the dark, it's a kick-ass 2002 documentary about the Funk Brothers, an unheralded group of Detroit musicians who are basically the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music. It's fantastic. But, hey, let's p...
October Was Not Kind To The Bay Area
It's been a rough couple of weeks for sports fans in the ol' Bay Area. The Warriors look to have lost last year's sexy playoff mojo; the 49ers are struggling to even notch a 100 yards per game; and the Raiders keep finding (fairly impressive) ways to giveaway football games....
All In All, Not A Bad Guy, If Looks, Brains And Personality Don't Count
Nah, it stayed a hat and no, we didn't chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin' his hat....
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 1:30 p.m. College football with Jim Donnan: I'm late for work; any chance of steamrolling this wrinkled shirt? • 2 p.m. Baseball with Keith Law: Vernon Wells' blog says that you have no interest in returning to ESPN next year. Discuss?...
Please Keep Roger Clemens At The Forefront Of Your Brain
One would have thought, after that "ow, my hamstring, I have to LEAVE!" display by Roger Clemens in the ALDS last month, the "Rocket," as they call him, would finally realize it's better to leave well enough alone. But no: Even though he's happy to take that "services contract" from the Astros — one...
Clinton Portis Is Happily Weird Again
Via DC Sports Bog, which was invented for this very thing, it's Clinton Portis' newest "character." It's "Choo-Choo." We don't know what it means, and we don't care. It's like the final season of "Arrested Development;" not as inspired as the first go-arounds, but we're all just grateful it's back,...
The Houston Texans Are Full Of Political Intrigue
Amazingly, there's all kinds of political strife in the former Soviet land of Georgia. We know. Protests and corruption in Russia; now we've seen everything. Apparently the major opposition party is led by Matt Schaub. They're totally regretting passing on Reggie Bush as the leader of the oppositio...
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy sports with Cockroft: Pole vaulting with Allison Stokke! Wait, what was the question? • Noon. NCAA MBB with Andy Katz: Where shall we go when the Mid-Majors rise up and enslave mankind? • 2 p.m. Inside college hockey: H...
Mark Mangino, Your Photo Gallery
We don't know about you, but we're entranced by Kansas coach Mark Mangino. He's like Rick Majerus, but less cartoonish. He looks like what we want football coaches to look like; sorry, ladies, but he's married!...
Don Shula Will Assign You An Asterisk And You Will Wear It
We knew there was something missing from the NFL season: An asterisk controversy. Of course. Well let's get right to it. Don Shula — who coached the 1972 Miami Dolphins to the only unbeaten season in NFL history — says that the Patriots should get an asterisk if they finish 19-0 this season....
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy sports with E. Karabell: As long as Larry Johnson is healthy, my fantasy team is pretty much unbeatable. • 1 p.m. Football with Mel Kiper. OK, I'll hold it, and you come along and kick it with all your might, OK? • 2 p....
Michigan State Is Quite Fired Up About Michigan
Sticking with the Big Ten theme this morning, we'd like to note that new Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio seems as unhinged as the infamous John L. Smith....
Warriors Refuse To Come Out And Play
• Who Still Believes? A glaring absence of celebrity fans on Tuesday in Oakland, as the Warriors dropped to 0-4 with a 108-104 loss to the Cavaliers. My yellow "We Believe" T-shirt has only been worn once, and already is in danger of becoming obsolete. In the meantime, let's let Golden State of Mind...
Welcome Back College Hoops, Everybody!
We know we haven't done the best job previewing the upcoming college basketball season, but it's not for lack of interest: It's just that there are so many freaking teams, man. We couldn't even figure out how to organize it. But don't worry: We absolutely cannot contain our excitement that college b...
Bill James Has Really Let Himself Go
This is from over the weekend, but we weren’t here over the weekend, so we have to weigh in on this particularly entertaining Kansas fan....
