Who's Sorry Now? Hand Jive Edition
Who's Sorry Now? is going away for a little while. All this remorse has been overwhelming, and we're sad to report that we began drinking again. So we'll be resting at a secure rehabilitation facility in a country setting in Northern California, and we may even get Robin Williams' old room. But firs...

Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Fight On To Glendale
• USC 44, Notre Dame 24. I hate to be the one to point it out, but twice, Notre Dame has played Top 10 teams, and twice, they have lost by 20 or more. Obviously, this will not stop a BCS bowl game from happily taking them (supposedly, the Sugar Bowl is in love with the Irish), so there's not really ...
Notre Dame Has A Vague Recollection Of Playing A Good Football Team
The last time Notre Dame played a team that's currently ranked in the Top 25, they lost by nearly four touchdowns. Since then, despite feasting on teams like Stanford, North Carolina, Air Force and Army, they've got themselves back into the national championship picture. On the outside, about-to-be-...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
'Twas a pretty solid afternoon of college football, considering that the slate didn't look that promising at the beginning of the day. South Florida managed to pull the upset of West Virginia, Florida and Florida State played a decent game, Kentucky nearly upset Tennessee, and South Carolina knocked...

Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I understand the art of fire eating started with the Seminole tribe. It did not begin as entertainment, though; it was a visceral response to having Bobby Bowden as the face of the Seminole tribe each Saturday. - Tuffy Rhodes...
Colt McCoy, Drug Pusher
It's a familiar story in sports. A young man grows up in a tough neighborhood where drugs are being pushed left and right. It's a shame when a young man becomes a victim of his environment and gives in to the temptation. Like Colt McCoy here:...
We're Easy
Y'all take it easy now. This isn't Dallas, it's Nashville! They can't do this to us here in Nashville! Let's show them what we're made of. Come on everybody, sing! Somebody, sing!...
We <i>Thought</i> That Cook Looked A Lot Like Mike Sherman
Well, at least there's one good thing about playing for the Raiders, says Warren Sapp. When you're 2-8, no one poisons your food. Sapp used our most hallowed food-related holiday to reminisce about the time that, when he played for Tampa Bay, someone tried to take him out like a KGB spy. And he's ...
Enjoy Thanksgiving Night Football (Maybe, Probably Not)
The slate of NFL games for Thanksgiving Day, as is often the case, aren't the most exciting, if just because we have to deal with Detroit every year. The Dallas game features the glory of Bruce Gradkowski, so that's not all too inspiring either....
"Hey, Dean, I Sent You A Trade"
In case you missed it, Bill Simmons — pictured here in one of the countless "Dude, my bros back at the Pike house are NEVER gonna believe I got a picture with the Sports Guy!" photos sprinkled about the Internets — is playing in that Celebrity Fantasy League on NBA.com again this year. He won the ...

Look, The Cubs Actually Spent Some Cash. A LOT Of It
Say what you will about the Chicago Cubs, but they aren't letting a little thing like an impending sale stand in the way of paying a ridiculous amount for a big name. In a move that should put those A-Rod rumors to the crematorium, the Cubs signed Alfonso Soriano to an eight-year, $136 million dea...
The NASCAR School Of Parenting
I'd have warned you about the profanity in there, but this video is too awesome for me to have dissuaded you in any way from watching it. I think my favorite part is when the child, around the 1:40 mark, is desperate for some fatherly affection; some sort of sign that indicates that there's a small ...
