The Dolphins' Quest For History Continues
We are set up, once again, for a dreadful Monday Night Football game, but at least there's some history on the line: We'd love to see Steve Spurrier and the 1976 Buccaneers on the sideline, cheering for the Dolphins so that they can all have their yearly Miller High Life celebration once the last w...

Why In The WORLD Do We Root For This Team?
OK, we think we're ready to talk about that horrific Buzzsaw loss yesterday. First off, we absolutely deserved that to happen: Our post last week daydreaming about the playoffs broke every Buzzsaw fan law we know. No Arizona team should ever be favored by 10 1/2 points. Ever....
Something For The Grizzlies Fan Who Has Everything
So here's pretty much the funniest thing you'll see all day. We didn't know this, but apparently, in a certain region of Spain, it's tradition to put a tiny figurine of a peasant excreting in the nativity scene for Christmas. We're not sure why that is, but it kind of makes us want to visit that reg...

The Patriots Could Lose! There's Hope!
So, in the wake of the Patriots' near-loss last night, what have we learned, kids? Does this mean the supposedly inevitable undefeated season is in jeopardy? Does it mean the Patriots are about to get angry and start winning games by 70?...
We've Been Punk'd By The Chargers
This story is a couple of days old, but by now you may know that the hippopotamus-in-the-swimming-pool story was a fake. Chargers' assistant coach Steve Crosby — who claimed that a hippo ended up in the pool at his Escondido home during the recent wildfires — admitted that the made up the story "to ...

And A Kidd Shall Lead Them
Was it just a few short months ago that Jason Kidd was practically a Los Angeles Laker? Just about everyone called it, then had to redact. Too bad. Instead of one great team (LA), we now have two mediocre ones. Bryant scored 31 points (on 7-of-31 shooting) for the Lakers, and Kidd had 15 points, 14 ...
