Youky Lands A Hot One, But There's A Hitch
Where women are concerned, I've always lived my life by a simple rule: Lips which have touched Ben Affleck shall never touch mine. Kevin Youkilis has no such qualms, apparently. The Red Sock got hitched on Tuesday to the lovely Enza Sambataro — Affleck's ex-girlfriend — in front of 120 friends and f...
You Got Served
When it comes to high school sports, I'd much rather be on the football field in pads where it's safe, rather than face the sneaky, vicious wrath of the cheerleaders. It happened in Texas (of course), where members of an El Paso high school cheerleading squad baked up a batch of cupcakes for cheerle...
Morning Blogdome: Tim Tebow Is A Humble Man
[email protected] is never ever gonna give you up. • So wise: Did you know that as a former Heisman winner Tim Tebow has a vote in this year's selection? He's even pretending that he would consider not voting for himself. Puhleeeease, let Colt McCoy win by a single vote. [Chomped and Screwed] •...
Everybody Was Shaq Fu Fighting ...
A donnybrook in which Yao Ming squares off against Steve Nash, practically everyone else gets involved in the scuffling, and then Shaq runs in and starts throwing people around like Andre the Giant? Why didn't someone tell me that Wednesday's Rockets-Suns game was going to be so much fun? Video belo...
Please Do Not Approach The Tigermobile
This is purported to be the sweet ride of one Willy-Mo, aka William Moore, senior safety for the Missouri Tigers; although judging from the photo below, it may be someone else's. At any rate, I don't know where this was taken, but it doesn't seem like it's a great part of town. In fact, according to...
Buck Burnette Learns Another Valuable Lesson in Karmic Justice
Last week, University of Texas back-up center Buck Burnette learned a very valuable lesson about both his Facebook and racist status, after he posted the disturbing hillbilly-like message "all the hunters gather up, we have a #$%&er in the whitehouse" on his personal page and was subsequently kicked...

There's No Recession For Vicious Youth Football Hits
There seems to be an alarming number of youth football players getting flat out owned these days. Or maybe there's just an alarming number of parents who document their child's every move and then upload their humiliation to YouTube. Either way, undersized children are getting absolutely destroyed ...
The Philadelphia Eagles Organization Will Not Allow Reporters to Surf for Smut On Their Time
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most notoriously uptight teams when it comes to their public image so this little blurb in John Gonzalez's Inquirer column today comes as no surprise. It turns out that the team's press box is outfitted with a web censoring device, similar to the ones found in ...
Afternoon Blogdome: You Make Me Want To Be A Better Mascot
[email protected] is not playing around anymore • Who said it?: "Chief Illiniwek inspired me to be a complete man." This actually explains a lot about a couple of those earlier posts. [Storming The Floor] • That wasn't supposed to happen: Niagara College scored three shorthanded goals on one pen...
Roller Derby Girls Have Issues, Growing Fan Base
I won't say roller derby's Suzie Homewrecker is an Amazon chick from hell, but I think I just got herpes from visiting her Myspace page. The demur Ms. Homewrecker is one of the founding members of the Arizona Derby Dames, an all-women's amateur roller derby league based in Phoenix, Ariz. I learned a...
This Is Not A Place Either Of Us Want To Be, And For That I Am Sorry
Daulerio asked me to describe my experience at the Rick's Cabaret on Monday night. This is probably the best I can do. Strip clubs are not about decadence, or fantasy, or even commerce. They are, at their core, about interaction. The dance is not delicate, or disguised. This is not a place where som...
When We Were Kings: One Night At Rick's Cabaret
"I don't get the Derek Jeter thing, " one dancer named Julianne says from across a four top table in the dimly lit dining room of Rick's Cabaret. "He's so normal looking." Two other girls, Holly and, oh, I don't know remember what her name was — Bambi, maybe?— agree. "Yes, he's really not that hands...
Let Taxidermy Bring Out The Wildcat In You
Black Friday will be upon us soon and before you know it you will be huddled under blankets outside a Wal-Mart at four in the morning, begging the retailer to give you the honor being kicked in the head for a $10 DVD player. (Excuse me: "home entertainment system.") But why not avoid the muss and fu...
Terrell Owens, Comedian
I did not see last night's "Late Show with David Letterman" (so late!) so I missed this appearance by everyone's favorite vaudeville joke-maker and occasional wide receiver Terrell Owens. We also lost our copy of "Little T Learns To Share," but we think this Top Ten list sends pretty much the same m...
1. Get Hit In Groin With Baseball, 2. Scream In Agony, 3. Profit
We now know the going rate for volunteering to be hit in the nuts by a pitching machine baseball: 1 million bucks. Not that Lhyvann Felipe volunteered, exactly. The unfortunate fellow, who was nailed in a batting cage while picking up baseballs, was awarded $1.2 million last week by a Miami jury con...
Understanding The NFL Fine System (Hint: You Can't)
Last week, New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck was fined $7,500 for a hit that pretty much everyone on the planet—except for the referee who a threw a flag at him—agreed was a textbook tackle. The commissioner's office felt this was a perfectly reasonable response as part of its effort to prot...
Fun With Babies: More Horrifying Tales From The Phillies Parade
Just like Vietnam, it may be decades before the entire tragic picture of the Phillies victory parade finally comes into focus. More disturbing details emerge each day, including this video, in which this excitable Phils fan can't stop fist-pumping, and in the process nearly jettisons his kid. But...
University Of Georgia Girl Vs. Bathroom Stall ... The Final Conflict
Of all the titanic college football matchups — like Ohio State vs. Michigan, Miami vs. Florida State, Texas vs. Oklahoma — there is one that is often overlooked. It's University of Georgia chick vs. bathroom stall. Come with us now into the women's restroom at Sanford Stadium, where the age-old conf...
Red Wings Fan Attempts To Jinx Penguins With Lions Shirt; Results Predictable
Red Wings fan Rick Finn here decided his team needed a little something extra going into last night's showdown with the Penguins, so he hatched an ingenious plan. He had an opportunity to pose with the Stanley Cup in Traverse City, Mich., on Labor Day, and decided to try and put a hex on Sidney Cros...
