The College Football Playoff You've Been Pining For? It's Happening Right Under Your Nose
For those of you that clamor for a nice, tidy bracket of four, eight, or 16 teams in the last week of November, pay attention. That method of eliminating teams from consideration of BCS Championship goodness has been transpiring over the past few weeks. Ohio State is veritably eliminated after their...
Justin Tuck Has One Less Check To Write
If you thought Justin Tuck got screwed out of $7,500 earlier this week, you weren't the only one.

Iverson's Piston Debut Pist On By Nets, 103-96
Allen Iverson is 33. As in "years old." He has five kids and a wife and, we would assume, a sense of mortality towering over what remains of his career in professional basketball. The player who unwittingly personified the perceived me-first player mentality of the post-Jordan NBA surely realizes th...

Yes We Ca ... Uh, No We Can't. Put Away The Glove, Brandon

In the video below you'll hear Marshall explain how he reached into h...
You, Miss, Are No Erin Andrews
I know Halloween was a week ago and we're way past the time where we should be comparing whose costume was better than whose—because that discussion is over—but it's Friday afternoon and I received an email in my inbox that I could not let go over the weekend. There was no message, just the attached...

New York Rangers Still Have Receipt For Dead Prospect

And At Week's End, The First Chapter In The Caitlin Davis Penis-Drawing Kerfluffle Comes To A Close
The story of young Ms. Caitlin Davis is a sad one, as the once wholesome New England Patriots' cheerleader went from budding pom-pom sweetheart of Foxboro to loathsome alleged Anti-Semite, both nationally and internationally, in a short period of time. (So sayeth the Italians: "Caitlin nei fotogramm...
Masking Tape, An Inebriated Friend, And The Shocking Discovery Of Boyfriend Internet Porn
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...

Ryan Leaf Has Gone and Ryan Leaf'd Himself Yet Again
And...scene. Former inept NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf seemed poised for success while coaching at DII West Texas A & M , but thanks to a recent pill-popping scandal, that career path might also be over for good. At first, Leaf was given a leave of absence by the university for him to work on his "pers...
The Secret Connection Between Box Scores And Sex Work
Yes, I used to work at that dirty site where posts about handjobs and "back door girls" meant a slow news day, but I've also seen plenty of Carl Mondays try to make people feel bad about their special urges.
