Woe To The Eagles Fans (And Those Who Sit Near Them)
The pregame festivities might have been more exciting than the actual game, but, nevertheless, we're gonna do our best to keep our distance from Eagles fans for the next couple of days....

Your Chance To See Philly Fans In Prime Time
A night game in Philadelphia always seems, to us, like asking for trouble. Even if fans actually do go to work today, if they leave at 5 p.m., they're gonna have enough time to really mess some matters up. Or, you know, paint their bodies....


Rob Stone Knows How To Liven Up A Broadcast
All told, we find this rather clever — and, to be honest, we've been enjoying the Women's World Cup considerably more than we would enjoy a Troy-Oklahoma State game — and we pretty much enjoy everything Stone does. (We had no idea sideline reporters could be funny; isn't that against the rules?) Tho...

Elisha Manning, QB, New York Giants
Yes, yes, Eli's birth name is actually Elisha Nelson Manning? So, um, why don't we call him this again? At least NFL.com has got it right....

Saturday Night Football Live From Somewhere
I have no idea how you guys watch all of this college football action AND the NFL. Seriously. My retinas are shot and my back is effin' killing me. And it's only Saturday! Gah! You guys must be machines! (Well, that, or really, really fat.)...

I just threw up all over my floor. Fuck tequila. — bubbacj24...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Pt. Deux
My roommate just walked in to see Pam Ward on TV and asked how such a weird looking "guy" could get a job on TV. I didn't bother to correct him because there was no need. — sooner518...

Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Pt. I
It's endlessly amusing each week for ESPN to have Lee Corso screaming about which helmet he'll put on to make his pick as if we're dying to discover the opinions of the senile. — Signal to Noise...

Careful: This Club Is Destined To Make You Unhappy
We don't play a lot of golf — it's honestly been about five years since we played — so we don't own our set of clubs. If we needed to buy some, though, we probably would not want this club in our set. Too much history....

The Grand Sportsmanship Of The Terrapins Fans
Maryland might not have been particularly competitive in its loss to West Virginia last night, but that's only if look at it as an on-the-field endeavor. Off the field, the Terrapins fans were kicking some ass....

It Mated Us. We Hadn't Even Been Properly Introduced.
It wants to ... turn us into something else. That's not too terrible is it? Most people would give anything to be turned into something else....

Pam Ward Is Not Listening To Her Producer

Larry Johnson's Bewildering Denial
So, what do we know about Chiefs running back Larry Johnson? He's probably a little overworked, he went through a nasty contract battle in the offseason and he's best pals with Jay-Z. So when we listen to his the big alleged Larry Johnson anti-Chiefs rant that's all the rage this morning, we are bew...

Marlins-Nationals Always Brings In The Big Crowds
We know it's the middle of September, and it's still kind of hot out, and everyone's back at work and concentrating on their jobs — really! — so not many have time to just head to Dolphins Stadium and watch two lousy teams play each other. But 400 people? 400? Really?...
