• Chelsea 4-0 Wigan. Jose Mourinho spent the week pissing and moaning about injuries and not getting any new signings during the transfer window. Wigan's boss Paul Jewell would like him to stuff it. "I'd love to have his problems because at the end of the day, whatever side he puts out, it will be b...
This Once Contained Tayshaun Prince's Sweaty Jock
We were meandering around the NBA Auctions site earlier today — the life of a sports blogger is a lonely, isolated one — and the Detroit Pistons, in particular, are selling some awfully HAWT items, we have to say....
K-Fed Will Totally Kick Your Ass, Bitches
When our chimp-like ancestors first descended from the trees and began walking upright about 6 million years ago, little did they know that it would lead to this. You should have warned us, Charles Darwin. Damn you to hell!...
Today In The Premiership...
• Chelsea 2-2 Fulham. Oh, that one hurts. Taking the draw at home against a middle-of-the-table Fulham side... I guess you suck, Chelsea. It's their second straight draw, and fourth consecutive Premiership game in which they've given up two goals (not coincidentally also the fourth straight game t...
Today In The Premiership...
• Aston Villa 0-3 Manchester United. The win means that Manchester United will hold on to the top spot in the league, no matter what Chelsea does against Wigan this afternoon. Had United lost, Chelsea would've been able to grab the lead in the standings, which would have been sort of depressing and ...
Today In The Premiership...
• Arsenal 2-2 Portsmouth. Arsenal was able to claw out a point, despite facing a 2-0 deficit in the second half. Emmanuel Adebayor and Gilberto Silva scored just two minutes apart for the Gunners after Matt Taylor gave Portsmouth a 2-0 lead just after the break. Despite being just one point apart ...
Big Ben Keeps Teaching The Kids
It was only a matter of time: Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle mishaps are inspiring minor league promotions....
Prince Brings His Unique Style Of Pants To The Super Bowl
As anyone who watched the NFL on CBS yesterday now knows from the above commercial, your Super Bowl halftime show performer is Prince. We don’t understand this commercial in the slightest — because Prince, of course, has never once made an artistic decision based on advertisers or corporate interest...
I'm Sorry, Goalie, But You Are Screwed
I missed this during yesterday's Premiership coverage, which necessitates doubling up on the amount of soccer posts this weekend. Many of you, I'm sure, hate this. And I'm sorry. But Portsmouth's Matt Taylor did something yesterday that is not normal, and I don't think we should ignore it....
Today In The Premiership...
• Manchester United 3-1 Manchester City. Cross-town rivalries are fun, but... well, you'd prefer they were a little more competitive. Manchester City hasn't won at Old Trafford in 32 years, and goals from Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Louis Saha kept them from doing it today. City actually ...
Further Heavy Reading In The Land Of The Footie
It's a trend we like and would tend to encourage; passive-aggressive insults by European soccer fans. Bradford City, a League One soccer club, recently published a book about rival club Leeds United, entitled Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The Not So Massive Club That Was Super L666ds, w...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Overheard in the newsroom (I work at a TV station) from someone watching the Dr. Pepper ACC Tournament: "Somewhere, Mr. Pibb is laughing his ass off." - RodeoQueen...

"Georgia Tech's offense has one Ball and two Johnson's." - Rowan 2 FSU...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
'Twas a pretty solid afternoon of college football, considering that the slate didn't look that promising at the beginning of the day. South Florida managed to pull the upset of West Virginia, Florida and Florida State played a decent game, Kentucky nearly upset Tennessee, and South Carolina knocked...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Urban Meyer must be thinking about how to use The eBay to stave off the surging Seminoles right about now. - Jlworld...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
If Florida wins out and doesn't make the BCS game they really can't complain after scheduling back-to-back 1-AA teams to finish the regular season. - Preciousroy...
Today In The Premiership...
• Charlton 1-1 Everton. Look at that, Charlton didn't get their ass beat... much credit goes to new head coach Les Reed. In fact, Everton was fortunate to even get a tie with them, getting a lucky bounce off a defender's leg for their goal. Unfortunately, the one point they earned from this draw s...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I understand the art of fire eating started with the Seminole tribe. It did not begin as entertainment, though; it was a visceral response to having Bobby Bowden as the face of the Seminole tribe each Saturday. - Tuffy Rhodes...
The Great Big North Texas Football Family
Far be it from us to tell someone how to run their Division I-A football program, but we think as far as dysfunction goes, the North Texas Big Green take the proverbial taco....
Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Fitted National League Cap
This story isn't totally new, but it's the first we've seen of it. And we have to warn you in advance that all sides here are quite possibly insane. Charles Littleton, 22, was tackled, tasered and hauled off to the hoosegow last week for refusing to remove his Los Angeles Dodgers cap during a Sagina...
