Scott Weiland Gets His Lee Corso On
If you're not up on your aging "psychedelic" hair metal band sports trivia, former Stone Temple Pilots and current Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland is an inexplicable fan of Notre Dame football. (We guess his dad went there; amazingly, Weiland didn't make the trip.) This morning, Weiland relea...
An Excuse To Break Out Our Ditka Wine!
If an alien race ever decided to attack us, we know of one sure-fire way to hold off the destruction. Just send this ad into space. It's sure to render potential invaders hopelessly befuddled, so that they veer off toward a stable planet, like Saturn. Heck, we live here, and we're frightened by this...
Unpretentious, With Just A Hint Of Laundry Hamper
Strawberries, cherries and and angel's kiss in spring ... this Ditka wine is really made from all these things ......
An Update On America's Dorkiest Sports Feud
So remember, the Sklar Brothers-Bill Simmons feud? Simmons apparently has disliked the "Cheap Seats" hosts' comedy sensibilities for years, and, probably because it's not exactly ESPN's most popular program, Simmons has been allowed to openly mock it in his columns. The Sklar brothers have always se...
No, No, Not THAT Eddie Johnson
Yeah, see, yesterday was just a terrible day to be a former basketball player named Eddie Johnson who happened to not be accused of child molestation....
Sklar Brothers Lightly Jab Back At Simmons
We've been having some fun with the Sklar brothers of late, but it does appear that this feud we've finally discovered between them and Bill Simmons has been going on for a while. Well, perhaps "feud" is the wrong word. But it has definitely become heated, as heated as anything can become in the o...
Sklar Brothers Poll Maddeningly Inconclusive
Well, we've closed our poll on the Sklar brothers, and, much to our frustration, it didn't really tell us much at all....
So, Are The Sklar Brothers Funny, Or Not?
Inspired by Bill Simmons' apparent declaration of war on Sklar brothers last week and one of them randomly showing up on "Entourage" last night, we felt it was probably time to get a definitive answer to the question: Are the Sklar Brothers funny?...
This Week In Weird Foreign Sports
We tend to find European sports terminology hilarious, mainly because it points to how equally absurd American sports terminology is. So here's a look at the big news of the week in odd, confusing sports in other lands, with our translation. ...
Yep. She's Throwing A Toilet Seat
We're not going to comment too much here, except to say: Dude! Redneck Games photos!...
Naked Cricket Chicks And Cricket Dudes
If you're the type of person who plays virtual cricket on your PlayStation2 — and, of course, you totally are — you were this close to having yourself quite a treat. The game version of Brian Lara International Cricket — we don't know who Brian Lara is either — was to feature a nude streaker base...
Hey, You Got A License For That Thing?
Someone just sent us this photo of America's sports hero Lance Armstrong, in the early days. Nothing much more we can say here....
Toe Rasslin'!
Many aspects of the World Toe Wrestling Championships, held last weekend in England, are hysterical. Here are a few:...
We're Not Gonna Make A Joke ... We're Not Gonna Make A Joke ...
Italy won the Homeless World Cup yesterday. Good for them. (Ahem.) A proud victory. (Cough.) They've done their country proud. (Er, yes.) No reason for any other comment....
This Week In Weird Foreign Sports
We tend to find European sports terminology hilarious, mainly because it points to how equally absurd American sports terminology is. We all might know what "a blooper to shallow left" means, but to anyone not intimately familiar with baseball terminology, that's just nonsensical babbling. So here...
John Kerry's Worst Nightmare
If you're hanging around East Dublin, Georgia, this weekend — and if you are, be careful of all those disputes with the Irish Republican Army — you would be remiss not to drop by the 10th annual Summer Redneck Games. (We find it infinitely amusing that the event organizers have a Tripod site. We'r...
Cricket Star Not Well-Endowed, Kind of Chubby
Warne, whom the British tabloids have been tracking for years, is being divorced by his wife after he was nailed for cheating on his her for the umpteenth time. This in itself is not necessarily newsworthy; athletes, we hear, are known to sleep around a bit, maybe, not sure. But the story here is pr...
Old Japanese Man Moves 100 Meters Without Dying
Personally, we had no idea they kept world records for different age groups. If you have to give an all-time record a qualifier, it's not really an all-time record anymore, now is it? We mean, hey, we own the best time in leaping from couch to rapidly burning pizza in stove by someone aged in the...
Just Asking ...
We're watching the Spelling Bee, and find it amusing that the head judge in a contest for children is judged by a priest....
Come See The Silly Sports!
We are but a month away from The World Games. What are The World Games, you ask? They're essentially a yearly audition for the Olympics by all the goofy sports that really would like to make it to the real games....
