Suddenly, Everyone's A Tiger Or A Jayhawk
You have to credit the athletic departments of Kansas and Missouri for thinking ahead. Before anyone knew how important this game was going to turn out in the national championship picture, they scheduled this one as a night game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. That means they're going to be dr...
Mr. Testicle Is The Bo Jackson Of Mascots
Well, 100 Percent Injury Rate has dug up more videos of Mr. Testicle in action. Can we create him as a Madden character? The problem is that he's so good at sports now that he's pressured to improve and keep up with the rest of his competitors. That's all fine and good, of course, except that leads ...
We'll Be Listening To You
We know that you know, Mr. Caul. For your own sake, don't get involved any further....
Bill Conlin Probably Just Shouldn't Use Email At All
At this point, the worst thing a "mainstream" reporter can do is make one of those dumb "I hate bloggers" comments. There's no upside to it; even if they're still an excellent reporter, they come across as crotchety, anachronistic and old. It's not really fair to them — it's not like bloggers are tr...
Jon Kitna Has Good Reasons To Love God
After the Lions' loss to the Packers yesterday, reporters asked Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna what he was thankful for. As everybody now knows, Kitna wears his Christianity on his sleeve. And we really have no problem with that....
Who Basted Isiah?
• This is why we couldn't eat turkey yesterday. [The Sports Hernia] • The Bulls' awful start shouldn't seem that unusual. [Indignant Online] • Lou Holtz, all up in Toledo's grill. [Futon Report] • The Fanhouse does the Choose Your Own Adventure thing with Stephon Marbury. [The Fanhouse] • The return...
Even Jets Fans Are Asking Her Not To Take It Off
Of all the European soccer promotions ever seen, this is by far the most interesting. By which I mean, you may have my eyes now. I have a donor card, so please make sure they go to a worthy recipient, like an NBA ref....
No Haka In Oregon, Bra
And now a story about a football team that begins every game with a 15-yard penalty ... and curiously, it's not the Raiders. The players from Jefferson High in Oregon perform the Haka Dance during pregame warmups every week, and are summarily penalized by officials for taunting. But instead of givin...
Floyd Mayweather Knows How To Promote Fights To Heterosexuals
We're a couple of weeks away from Floyd Mayweather-Ricky Hatton fight, and, you know, it should be a good, as far as boxing goes these days. And the fight is no longer lacking the appropriate amount of hype. Why? Because Floyd Mayweather's war of words begins with anal rape....
Thanksgiving Games As Uninspiring As Always
As usual, the Thanksgiving Day slate of games yesterday was hardly compelling. All three games were blowouts, and it's never a positive sign when the most dramatic moment involves the phrase, "hey, the Lions are within 15 now!"...
Crazy Night In Ottawa (But Hey, Aren't They All?)
It's the NHL Closer. We pass the mic to the kids at Orland Kurtenblog. Their NHL Closer is written by Canadians for Americans....
About Last Night

USC 44, ASU 24. • NFL: Favre, Romo set up titanic match of 10-1 teams that a lot of people won't see. • College basketball: George Mason is back in the news, to Kansas State's...
Welcome To The Land Of Turducken
Prepare for this exact scene tomorrow: Brett Favre eating turkey and receiving backslaps on the Lions' home field. (We're not sure, but we believe this picture was taken in 1983.)...
To Watch Tonight
What others are watching as you fly over Kansas ... hey, there's Mangino! ... • College basketball: Maui Invitational, at Lahaina, Hawaii: championship game, Duke vs. Marquette. I love a championship game where the coaches can wear shorts. [ESPN] • College basketball: Preseason NIT, semifinals, at N...
Thanks Again, Priest Holmes
It's a sad day, folks: It looks like Priest Holmes is going to retire. Obviously, the brief snapshots of Priest Holmes we've seen this season haven't even remotely resembled the Priest Holmes fantasy wunderkind we once knew, but that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy them immensely. It was just nice to s...
The Eagles Are HUGE Underdogs Sunday
We were pretty amazed to read this this morning: Apparently Sunday night's Patriots-Eagles game has the biggest spread in NFL history. (Well, not exactly: They're not counting expansion teams, for some reason; the Buccaneers were 24-point underdogs to the Steelers in their first season, and lost 42-...
SHOTY First Round: Gilbert Arenas Vs. Steely McBeam
It's SHOTY frenzy this week; two in two days. You now can spend your Thanksgiving playing around with online polls. Fun!...
