Phil Mushnick Is Sick And Tired Of Brent Musburger's Hip Slang
It turns out that race-baiting troll Phil Mushnick is more than just a race-baiting troll. He's also someone who isn't afraid to call out those who plague sports media with their frivolous attempts to sound "cool" and "hip." Like 74-year-old ESPN play-by-play announcer Brent Musburger, for example....
Report: The Dolphins Are A Dysfunctional Mess Behind The Scenes
Even juicier than Black Monday in the NFL is the semi-regular "here's how truly screwed up this franchise was" post-mortem feature in a local paper. Yesterday, Armando Salguero in the Miami Herald gave us a peek into the power struggle that forced out Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland, and it's a ugly....
Brayden Schenn Takes A Skate To The Stomach, Returns To The Game
Ow. Brayden Schenn was accidentally jabbed in the stomach by Dainius Zubrus's skate after a hit during tonight's Flyers-Devils game. At least Zubrus knows he doesn't need to have them sharpened for now....
Two Of The NFL's Strangest Streaks Say The Chargers Will Be Champs
Let's be quite clear about this up front: We don't believe there's anything to this, any more than there was to the (now broken) streak of Redskins home games predicting the Presidential election. It's, statistical noise. But as far as random quirks go, these are pretty fucking weird....

There is a stupid thing in the New York Times today, which if read aloud in the proper cadence would sound quite a bit like a warmup oration for a tar-and-feathering. It's about Michael Vick, of course, and it argues that no team in the NFL should sign Michael Vick, for the sake of the children....
Philip Rivers Is Pumped, But How The Hell Did The Chargers Win?
What? Huh? San Diego, a team that eked its way into the playoffs in the final weeks, will take on the Broncos for the third time this season after beating the Bengals 27-10. Philip Rivers must have also talked to Ric Flair before his game....

Shady McCoy Making Dudes Look Silly Out There

The Saints Are Eating Popeyes Again
The Saints always seem to get a little salty when naysayers bring up the performance disparity when they play on the road. Drew Brees bristled earlier this year after a loss to Seattle when it was suggested the team was basically a guaranteed loss on the road. He had stats ready to show how it was ...
"It Was My Sperm": Eagles-Fan Dad Wants Credit For Son's Hot Tub Tailgate
There's a lot to love about this video. First of all, it's not about making cheesesteaks. Second of all: fuck yeah, Philadelphia. This is the way to tailgate: four dudes in an outdoor hot tub drinking Wild Turkey in chilly-ass Philadelphia. ...
Ben Vereen's National Anthem Performance Was A Mess
So, this is weird. Veteran actor Ben Vereen is probably best known to 30-somethings for two roles: 1.) Mayor Ben, a half-man, half-leopard mayor on the live-action acid trip called Zoobilee Zoo and, 2.) a small part as Will Smith's dad in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. ...

With Orton Or Romo, The Cowboys Are Still The Cowboys
The Cowboys' season ended in a way that all Cowboys' seasons now seem destined to end: With an 8-8 record, a trip to the playoffs handed over to a division rival, and a backbreaking interception. Tony Romo may not have been there to preside over this year's clusterfuck, but he wasn't needed—the Cowb...
This Eagles Fan Is Really, Really, <em>Really</em> Excited They Won The NFC East
