Your Division Series Open Thread
Ai! Somehow this disappeared, no? There were comments, there was yakking—I'm very sorry. Won't happen again. As I said before—it's the A's in Detroit to face Verlander (who has already given up a run) and then Cueto vs. Cain in San Francisco at 9:37 p.m. We'll link back. Enjoy the games!...
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Tonight the Cowboys host the Bears. Romo. Cutler. Other guys. At the end of the night, one of these teams will be tied for first in their respective division. It's gonna be so sweet. In less-sweet news, the Cowboys and Tony Romo have tabled contract extension talks until the offseason. Nobody seems ...
Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread
Tonight, we've got the Giants and Eagles. It's another important divisional game and we've got two 2-1 teams. Right now there is a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East and no matter what happens there will be a non-Dallas Cowboys team in first place at the end of the night. So that's good. ...
Your NFL Sunday Open Thread
Here is where anybody who's anybody will be discussing the return of the real referees. Oh and you can talk about the actual football games, too, I suppose....
Green Bay Packers At Seattle Seahawks: Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
The Packers visit the Seahawks this evening and, honestly, all I'm hoping for is to see just how far we can take this rotten officiating. The Seattle crowd, of course, is responsible for letting us all know, the one or two times a year they are a game we all actually watch, which team leads the lea...
THIS GUY Is Back On Monday Night Football
If you watched any of ESPN's pre-game extravaganza you know that Jon Gruden is positively jacked up for this game. And why shouldn't he be? Peyton Manning is back on Monday Night Football! Woo! Yeah! Fist pumps all around....
Your College Football Open Thread
Early afternoon: Florida State might (but probably doesn't) have a game on its hands in Tallahassee with Wake Forest coming in. That's practically it until things get kind of hectic in the later afternoon, with Alabama probably crushing Arkansas and taking us into a very good slate of night games. M...
Your Monday Night Football Doubleheader Open Thread
Getting under way shortly on ESPN, it's the Bengals and the Ravens. Possible topics of discussion: is Baltimore ready to let it fly with Joe Flacco? How does Marvin Lewis still have a job? Public viewings at football stadiums and wakes in general: weird, or weirdest?...
Your College Football Open Thread
A pretty light slate of early games, so you have plenty of time to get drunk and overly optimistic before the real action starts. Things get good in the early afternoon. Full schedule, with TV coverage, right here. We'll link back to this yak throughout the day, so all yakking can go in the same pla...
Your College Football Open Thread
Watching college football? Wanna yak about it? This here's the place. Notre Dame vs. Navy is already happening (because it's in Dublin, Ireland) and being psychotically danced at, but the rest of today's full slate of college football is still before us. Full schedule, with TV coverage included, rig...
Your Sunday Open Thread Smorgasbord
We've got baseball, Spain-Italy in the Euro 2012 Final at 2:45 p.m., Golf at 3:00 p.m., Nascar and more baseball. If I left anything out, it is OFF LIMITS and you are prohibited by law from discussing it. If that's a problem, contact my lawyer, but he's busy handling a blackmail case, so leave a me...

The main event is Spain-France getting under way shortly. Baseball is on all afternoon as well, so stop on by and talk to each other about it, why don't you?...
Your NBA Finals Game 3 Open Thread
The adjective of the night is static. Russell Westbrook ain't changing. The Thunder ain't changing. Will these refusals to change, result in changes themselves? Or will the Heat remain true to form and blow the doors off the place early only to slowly bleed to death? That's why we watch and talk, d...
Your Sunday Afternoon Open Thread Smorgasbord
We've got Baseball starting now across this great land. Then at 2:45 p.m. we've got Denmark-Germany and Portugal-Netherlands in Euro 2012 action. The U.S. Open also concludes this afternoon/evening and Game 3 of the NBA Finals is on ABC at 8:00 p.m. (I'll probably throw up a separate thread for tha...
Your Saturday Open Thread Smorgasbord
Hey, sorry 'bout that. Here is your place to talk about why there will be two soccer games going on at the same time, whether Tiger Woods is back and other random things about baseball. Get nuts!...

We Have A Winner For The Dumbest Story Ever Written About Derek Jeter [NSFW?]
We asked you on Monday, after a particularly objectionable item ran in the New York Post, to write the dumbest story ever about Derek Jeter. You did not let us down. ...
Your Sunday Open Thread Smorgasbord
Italy and Spain face off in Euro 2012 pretty much right now. Croatia at Ireland at 2:45 which pretty much means my neighborhood will be a mess of drunken flames no matter what the outcome. And Baseball will carry us through the evening. Chat it up down in the comments below. or not. Either way....
Your Saturday Open Thread Smorgasbord
Sorry soccer and open thread nuts. This one's a little late, but use it to discuss all manner of sporting events today. Euro 2012 contiunues through the afternoon, baseball, the Belmont and a potentially decisive game in the NHL and a definitely decisive NBA Game 7 between the Lebron is a chumps an...
