Media Approval Ratings: Jeanne Zelasko
If you were in attendance at Citizens Bank Ballpark last night, the first voice you may have heard over the loudspeaker after your team won the championship was that of Jeanne Zelasko. And while I have nothing against Jeanne Zelasko personally, I’m not exactly sure she was the right person to have ...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Utah Jazz
The NBA season has started! But, like, we still have two previews to go! Up next is a team that loves the pick-and-roll...and quiet evenings at home. They are: The Utah Jazz. When last we saw them: Finished 54-28, first in the Northwest Division and fourth overall in the West. Lost to the Lakers in ...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The San Antonio Spurs
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that is NEW AND EXCITING!! (But not really.) They are: The San Antonio Spurs. When last we saw them: Finished 56-26, seco...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Toronto Raptors
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that I'm previewing before the Spurs. Sorry, San Antonio. They are: The Toronto Raptors. When last we saw them: Finished ...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Sacramento Kings
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days.

NFL Preview: Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?
What a week for evil, HEEENGH? This probably isn't what Roger Goodall had in mind when he was going to "clean up the league". A Texans long-snapper and half of the Saints team got busted for the hilariously wimpy accusation of ingesting water pills; none have been suspended yet. Kellen Winslow got ...
Hugh 4: Louisiana Signals Its Displeasure Over Current Events
Thanks to Paul for this evocative image, complete with artsy angle. (And also thanks to Brad, who sent one just before post time.) We thought the LSU fans were a little drama queen-y when their band broke out "Paint It Black" at 21-7 Georgia. Now we know for sure. Lady Andrea: The #1-ranked team is ...
Hugh 3: Brian Who?
Texy let us know that Brian Griese had an awful time remembering Chris Weinke's name in the Texas-Team That Will Lose to Texas game. We don't think Chris should be offended. He had a fine sports career and should be proud of his efforts. Besides, who's gonna remember Brian Griese in three years? We ...
Hugh 2: The Wrath of Hugh
You're getting a little nastier out there, especially when it comes to having your sexual predilections called out in previous Hughs. (Confidential to Towering for Tebow: We're agnostic on pooper action; thanks for asking.) We approve of this turn for the mean. We also wonder if the left tackle for ...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Portland Trail Blazers
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that may be - just maybe - the next big thing. They are: The Portland Trail Blazers. When last we saw them: Finished 41-4...
Hugh 1: Chris Simms Should Take Notes on Internal Organ Care
No surprises out there so far. Texas Tech has taken the pressure off their kicking game by sticking to touchdowns, rolling out 35-14 before the half and injuring only one side judge. We thought Tech might have to roll out a teenager with a genetic liver disorder to kick after the half, but calm has ...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Philadelphia 76ers
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that may be ready to drop a house on Boston's Wicked Witch of the East. They are: The Philadelphia 76ers. When last we sa...
Thursday Night Preview: Auburn at West Virginia
Tonight ESPN brings you a match-up of teams whose fans are pissed with their lives, their teams, and the fact that it's only October and they're already prepared to start discussing next year's football season. What's the most surprising thing about both teams so far this season? How godawful the of...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Orlando Magic
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that puts the "Orla" in "Orlando." They are: The Orlando Magic. When last we saw them: Finished 52-30, first in the South...
World Series Preview: Rays Vs. Phillies
The World Series is truly my favorite week of the year. Having the World Series going on is an excuse that gets you out of anything, every year. No matter what plans I might be forced into, all I have to say is, "Hey, the World Series is on," and people understand. You know how Will gets about his ...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Phoenix Suns
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days.

NFL Preview: Awkwardness abounds!
Today's most attractive 1:00 match-up pits the Buffalo Bills against the San Diego Chargers. And today's most uncomfortable 1:00 match-up sees Buffalo defensive tackle John McCargo reunited with the team that tried, unsuccessfully, to trade him to the Colts on Wednesday. Yep, McCargo went from elat...
