So last week, the Ohio State wrestling team entered into some talent show that was judged, along with others, by Buckeyes football coach Jim Tressel (he's also judging the talent show at Maurice Clarett's prison). It wasn't necessarily a bad year for OSU wrestling, but if this video is any indicatio...
Get Out Your Planner: NFL Schedule Is Out
This is Pac Man Jones. He won't be taking part in any NFL games this year, which makes him similar to you, or us, or popular musician C.C. DeVille. He will be able to watch, though, and as of this afternoon, he knows when he'll be able to watch which games. That's right: As you might have noticed fr...

ESPN Pushes The Self-Destruct Fantasy Button
Not that we have much room to talk, considering how matters have been around these parts this morning (you do not want to know how many household items we have destroyed in the last two-and-a-half hours), but ESPN's fantasy games, with all the problems they've been having, finally hit the nuclear op...

It Seems Difficult To Lose 57-1
We're kind of suckers for these types of stories: One team so much more talented than another team that it absolutely eviscerates them at a too-violent-for-small-children level. This is one of the better ones in a while; Bridgewater State (Mass.) beat Newbury 57-1....

More Fun On The Imus Apology Tour
Of all the reaction to Don Imus' unfortunate verbal stylings recently, our favorite so far has to be from Cal professor Harry Edwards, who said "He touched every hot rail." Indeed, Imus scored that rare insult trifecta that you rarely hear on talk radio, as he degraded women, blacks and people with ...

After a few months of grumbling from Barry Bonds about the fact that he hadn't been contacted by the current home run champ, Hank Aaron finally spoke up yesterday and made it clear that he has no intention of helping Bonds out or showing up when/if he breaks the record....
