About Last Night
What you missed while searching for your tortoise. "He's on foot — he couldn't have gotten far ..." • NFL: Still a lot of talk about 1984. But Orwell never predicted this. Colts 44, Ravens 20. • NBA: Laker voodoo still effective against Warriors. LA 123, Golden State 113. • Rangers beat Devils! Davi...
Football Night In Baltimore
The Colts return to Baltimore face the Ravens in the city birthed them. They should expect to be greeted by large groups of confused men wearing purple camouflage and the women that love them because they don't know any better. Enjoy the game, I just realized the Wizards were playing tonight so I'v...
To Watch Tonight

Overtime and Gambling Make Wonderful Bedfellows
Since there's way too much going on in the NFL for me to get caught up in wordy prose I'm going to switch it up to a bullet point format. It's creative, it's original, and nobody's ever done it before! • Why can't our country produce fifteen people capable of providing the play-by-play for football ...

Todd Collins and the Early NFL Action
The Flying Mottram Brothers over at Mister Irrelevant posted a rather odd Todd Collins tribute video they found on the U-tubes and it just happened to include a picture of the rookie card you see pictured. I mention this not for any particular reason, I just remember coming across this card many yea...
No Isiah, They Aren't Saying Boo-urns
It's not easy making the Philadelphia 76ers look good, but Isiah's Knicks do it with aplomb. I don't want to say that New York's starters aren't any good, but seeing as how they combined to score 25 points my hands are tied. New York's starters fucking suck (but Q's cool). Nate "Awww" Robinson manag...

Bayless Overcomes Slow Start, Puts Illini Away In OT

After being held scoreless for nearly five minutes Lute Olsen's Kevin O'Neill's squad regrouped and ...
Tebow Wins Heisman, Loves Jesus
I didn't watch the Heisman Trophy presentation show (what's the point?) but I've been assured that Tim Tebow did in fact win. As a Gator fan of some 20 years I'm quite happy for Superman, but I'm not going to bludgeon you over the head with my homerism the way Tebow does with all of that god talk. O...
