The Real Question Here Is, Who Felt The Need To Foul Him?
Last month we told you about Ken Mink, the wrinkly, onion-belted gentleman who made it onto the Roane State Community College basketball roster with dreams of greatness and foggy recollections involving the Truman administration. On Monday, 52 years after his last college game, Mink made it to th...
Meet Argentina's New National Soccer Coach (Burp!)
I see no possible way this ends badly. Argentina, which has been sent home ignominiously from the past four World Cup soccer tournaments, has turned to its largest celebrity in terms of land mass to return the nation to its glorious past. Diego Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest soccer ...
Ralph Wilson Stadium Is A Sexy, Sexy Place
Orchard Park police arrested 37 people at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, but none more special than the two found creating a "public disturbance" in the 300-level women's restroom during the Jets-Bills contest. It seems that watching Trent Edwards getting piled on while Jay Feeley seduces the uprig...
Oaks Christian Has An Overabundance Of Famous Progeny
Here are Nick Montana, Trevor Gretzky and Trey Smith, all of whom play football at Oaks Christian High in Westlake Village, near Los Angeles, and whose rather famous fathers don't have much trouble paying the school's annual $21,640 tuition, I'm guessing. If you want to witness a hilarious sight on ...
Election Night: An Excuse To Stay Up Past 8:30
Well, it's here. When I was a kid, Election Night was one of the few nights of the year I was allowed to stay up past 8:30. (Seriously, my bedtime was 8:30 until I was a freshman in high school. And you wonder why I still wet the bed.) I never knew who any of the candidates were, or even what the "...
Hey, That's Hate Speech
I've heard of slinging mud, but this is just going too far. Seen high over Denver's Invesco Field during the Dolphins-Broncos game on Sunday, this banner linking John McCain to the NFL franchise which lost 24-0 to the Falcons earlier in the day. Oakland gained 78 yards total offense in the process, ...
It's North Carolina Against The World
College basketball gets underway sooner than you expect, so it's probably time to roll out our 341-day team-by-team preview of the forthcoming season. But then we woke up this morning and realized there's no point to that. In fact, there's no point to even having a season at all, because the titles,...
Derek Jeter's Glove is Only Useful For Fielding Trim
Poor Derek Jeter. Even with his professional achievements and world wide popularity, he always seems to be getting dogged by seamhead geeks trying in earnest to convince baseball fans the man is just not that good. The latest swipe comes from the 2008 Fielding Bible Awards, a panel comprised of nine...
You're With Me, Election
Yeah, yeah, I agree; there's something clearly disturbing about Boomer being the last human to interview John McCain and Barack Obama before we all go to the polls today. But look on the bright side: The phrase "Barack and a hard place" was not uttered; Berman didn't lose it and scream at an intern;...

Exit polls say [email protected] is the most popular choice. • Blah, blah, blah: When you put cheerleaders and video games together the streets will run red with Whitey's blood. You stopped reading after "cheerleaders and video games," didn't you? [Fan IQ] • What's this about Scott Mitchell?: L...
Best. Pregame. Warmup. Ever.
I don't know about you, but whenever I hear a sports broadcaster say "Those spears were getting awfully close," I know that I've gotten my money's worth, pregame warmup-wise. This Rugby League matchup pitted the New Zealand Maori team and their pregame Haka vs. the Australian Dreamtime team and thei...

Cleveland Browns Fans Can Finally Say That This Man Is Their Quarterback
This is a historic moment that should preempt any sports blog's standard nighttime activities. The Browns have made a bold step, which either means they are packing it up early this year or they are still hopeful that a new face behind center can inject some life into their staph-infected offense. B...
Brett Myers and The Philadelphia Police Department Welcome you To Watch Monday Night Football With Them
So here's a fun photo taken in the early morning hours after the decisive game 5, when Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was stopped by Philly police officers after he attempted to cross over a blocked off portion of Broad Street. At first Myers was told he couldn't pass, but once several officers recogn...
Bengals Jerk Line Gets Its Chain Yanked
As you may have heard, the NFL is out to hunt down and destroy boorish fan behavior at its solemn and dignified Sunday skull crushing meetings. Like several other teams, the Cincinnati Bengals have what is known as a "Jerk Line," a phone number that fans can call while in the stadium to report the g...

Toronto Writer To Maple Leaf Fans: It's All Your Fault
It's still early in the NHL season, but the Toronto Maple Leafs are solidly in 4th place—right where they've belonged for the past three seasons. If you're not familiar with the rules of ice hockey, that's bad. However, the organization that owns the team—Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment—is doing...
Patriots Other Young Cheerleader Follows Well-Traveled Path to Stardom
Back in June, the Patriots unveiled their 2008 cheerleading squad and one particular newbie dominated the headlines of boob-centric sports blog nation. Her name was Rebecca Lucas, whose young age and even younger- looking appearance set into motion a domino effect of scumbag sleuthing to find a phot...
When Oversized NBA Mascots Attack
I'm a huge fan of the hidden camera show brand of humor, which, when done well, can be pretty darned hilarious. Following the jump we have a good example, courtesy of the Houston Rockets. It reminds me of the old British show Trigger Happy TV, which was on Comedy Central briefly a while back. Those ...
Afternoon Blogdome: It Never Ends, Cubs Fans
Sending your Blogdome tips to [email protected] is the most patriotic thing you can do. • And they usually have such good luck: There's bad tattoos and then there's 100 years of cursed frustration bad. You don't even want to see where he put the tat of Bartman's face. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch] ...
