• Rex Grossman had a class that taught him how to nap. [Chicago Sun-Times] • Today, I mourn the death of Ferenc Puskas. Well, not really. But he did score a hell of a lot of goals. [I Dislike Your Favorite Team] • Here's a fun rumor: Steve Spurrier to Miami. [Complete Sports] • Living through the Br...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #3
• This is not a score that I saw coming. The 49ers have ripped open a 20-0 lead over the Seahawks, despite the return of Shaun Alexander. Alexander's carried 7 times for 9 yards, and Seneca Wallace has thrown two interceptions. Frank Gore's making a pretty solid case these past two weeks for best ru...
The New Jersey Nets Are Looking For GILFs
Usually with cheerleaders, the general rule of thumb is "the more jiggling, the better." With the group the New Jersey Nets are attempting to put together, though, the jiggling will be out of control and it will be 100% unwelcome....
NFL Week Eleven, Update #2
• The game, for some reason, is taking a painfully long time... but with no Donovan McNabb, I'm thinking a comeback is unlikely. Pac-Man Jones had an incredible punt return for a touchdown, showing why he's worth keeping around even if his assault on the Nashville legal system continues. As for McNa...
The NASCAR School Of Parenting
I'd have warned you about the profanity in there, but this video is too awesome for me to have dissuaded you in any way from watching it. I think my favorite part is when the child, around the 1:40 mark, is desperate for some fatherly affection; some sort of sign that indicates that there's a small ...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #1
• Alright, it's time for an NFL update that you'll probably never see because the damn site is broken. I think the actual blogging software is rejecting the notion that Mike Tyson is now fucking for money... the blogging software is sad, and it doesn't feel like working today. I understand....
Dodgers Release Crack Smuggling Minor Leaguer
Kengshill Scheider Pujols is a minor league pitcher with the Vero Beach Dodgers, and the man stuffed 118 bags of crack cocaine into his underwear. The unfortunate thing about it is that he didn't even wait for "Stuff Bags of Crack-Cocaine in Your Underwear" night at Vero Beach, and almost certainly ...
NFL Week 11 Preview: Emotional Returns
• Seeing Green. Center Casey Weigmann will have a familiar pair of hands nestled against his taint on Sunday as Trent Green returns to the Chiefs lineup. I personally felt like the job should've been Damon Huard's, as he's been playing so well. Now you've got an older quarterback coming off a major ...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Thanks Anyway, Rutgers
Well, that was one of the better Cinderella stories in recent years. Unfortunately, it had to end sooner or later... and perhaps its less painful to be crushed by Cincinnati now than to be denied a shot at a national championship despite an undefeated season. Rutgers lost—nay, got hammered—in Cinc...

About Last Night...
• College Football: LSU 23, Ole Miss 20. Oh, to have heard what Ed Orgeron was saying when this picture was snapped. • NBA: Utah 120, Phoenix 117. Someone named Paul Millsap had 16 points, six of them in the overtime period, to go along with his 10 rebounds. • College Basketball: Nebraska 73, (25) C...
Hugh Johnson Update: Bonus Edition
And somewhere, Maurice Clarett asks his cellmate to get off him for a second, so he can check out the final score and smile....
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
I swear I just saw Maurice Clarett putting down that new sod as part of a work release program. - VanillaThrilla6...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: Rutgers @ Cincinnati. Rutgers is now legit enough that even their games against Cincinnati are worthy of primetime. 7:45, ESPN. • College Football: California @ USC. 8:00, ABC. This is what I like, ABC. No regional coverage bullshit, we all watch one game, and we do it together. ...
It's A Nice Week To Be Zach Randolph's Lawyer
Zach Randolph's being sued... again. This time by Portland resident Robert Bacote, who accuses Randolph and Qyntel Woods of assaulting and harassing him because they believed he was the guy who alerted authorities to Qyntel Woods' charming dogfighting hobby....

• Taking issue with some of Bill Simmons' points about journalism and blogging. [Metsquire] • That "Michigan Bar" where you're watching the game today? Yeah, they don't really give a damn about Michigan. [Wall Street Journal] • The thrill of seeing Pedro Gomez close up. [Joe Sports Fan] • If the NBA...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Inappropriate conversation of the moment (and words I may be eating later): Friend1: I'm not worried about this Bo thing. Troy Smith does not respect your dead elders! Friend 2: Troy Smith feasts on your tears! - Leebert1981...
Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
Today In The Premiership...
• Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United. Wayne Rooney put Manchester United on his back today and earned them a crucial 2-1 victory over Sheffield United. Sheffield led after a goal in the 13th minute, but a couple of clean Rooney strikes gave the Reds the win. I don't think Rooney's performance ...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
He doesn't diddle Brady Quinn's sister, but Paul Poslunzy is earning my respect, he is much better than AJ Hawk. For the sake of comparison let's hope that he's all over Chad Henne's sister. - John L. Smith's back-hand slap...
