Rodney Harrison Is An Idiot. Let Rob Gronkowski Dance!
You may have seen this video of Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski and tackle Matt Light, fresh off of losing the Super Bowl, doing what I would be probably be doing if I just lost the biggest game of my life: getting shitfaced, dancing shirtless, and trying to get laid. But of course, Rodney Harrison do...

Hot In Super Bowl Commercials: Car Commercials Starring People Who Kill People With Their Cars!
What's the difference between nostalgia and remembering stuff? Hey, there's Matthew Broderick selling Hondas. It looks like fun to ride around with Matthew Broderick in a car.

Just Like Us: A-Rod Apparently Likes To Read Gossip Magazines On Airplanes
Reader Carl snapped this photo (click to enlarge) of Alex Rodriguez around 8 a.m. this morning at the airport in Miami. He sent it along because he couldn't help but notice the magazine in A-Rod's left hand was Us Weekly. Here's Carl's take on the situation:...

How Could Penn State's Trustees Have Been Blindsided By The Sandusky Case?
Thirteen of the 32 members of Penn State's Board of Trustees sat down with The New York Times yesterday to finally tell their side of the story. The resulting published narrative walks us through how the board reacted in the immediate aftermath of the release of the Jerry Sandusky grand jury presen...
Brand Leadership: The Scene At The Penn State President's New York Town Hall
The last place any sane person wanted to be this past Friday night was the Marriott hotel in Manhattan's financial district. The hotel's grand ballroom would be a good setting for a bad prom, complete with an ugly red carpet and garish inverted-pyramid chandeliers. An uneasy crowd of about 300 Penn ...
PSU's Damage-Control Memos Show "Deepest Concern" For Children (And Your Non-Refundable Donations)
Not long ago, we told you about the stupidly triumphant internal Sandusky memos that got passed around at meetings of the Penn State board of trustees mere days after the scandal broke. The memos, first obtained by the AP (and now by us), showed the low-IQ spinjobbing you've come to expect from so...

Penn State's New President Doesn't Think This Is Penn State's Scandal
Rodney Erickson, the new president of Penn State, is taking questions from concerned alumni this week at a series of townhall-style meetings. Though he's promised a new era of openness and transparency, Erickson displayed plenty of evasiveness and contradiction even before he set out for Pittsburgh...
For Lamar Odom And Dallas, The Honeymoon Is Over Before It Began
Odom's numbers through 11 games: 19.5 minutes, 6.6 points, 4.7 rebounds. And this excoriating column in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:...
A Week Before He Was Charged With Child Sex Abuse, Jerry Sandusky Watched A Football Game From The Penn State President's Stadium Suite
That's according to what former Nittany Lions linebacker Brandon Short said during an appearance Wednesday afternoon on ESPN's Outside the Lines (audio above). Citing what he called "two independent sources," Short said Jerry Sandusky watched Penn State defeat Illinois from the box that belonged t...
Stephen A. Smith Plays Blutarsky To Skip Bayless's Fawning Coed In This <em>First Take</em> Parody Of <em>Animal House</em>

City Of New York Cancels Mutton-Bustin', Rodeo's Greatest Event
The scores of finance bros and curious onlookers who crowded into Madison Square Garden for the arena's annual dabble in rodeo over the weekend did not get an authentic picture of the tradition. They had overpriced pints of light beer and Cracker Jacks; some, I'm sure, had worn plaid and cowboy hats...
Penn State's New President Is Being Less Than Candid About What He Knew About Jerry Sandusky
Rodney Erickson was named the interim president of Penn State on Nov. 9, the night Graham Spanier resigned in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. The school lifted the interim tag from Erickson the following week, formally putting him in charge, and soon after he stated his comm...
Malik Rose Channeled His Inner "Negro-Damus" In A Prediction During Last Night's 76ers Game
Malik Rose is the newest addition to the Philadelphia 76ers TV broadcasts on Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, and his relaxed attitude and willingness to say anything are quickly becoming apparent, as we saw on last night's broadcast of the Sixers' bout with Detroit. I, too, am curious what other p...
"We Are Taking Control Of The Narrative," Said PSU President In Stupidly Triumphant Sandusky Memo
The AP got its claws on four internal memos circulated among Penn State's board of trustees and the school's new president Rodney Erickson mere days after charges were filed against accused child rapist Jerry Sandusky last November. More face. More egg. The memos are about damage control, money, and...

The Winter Of A-Rod Continues: He's Dating A Wrestler/Playboy Model/Muscly Blonde
We always suspected Rodriguez's "blood-spinning treatment" was just a metaphor for nailing another toned blonde off the A-Rod girlfriend assembly line. (Hair color can be artificial, and come to think of it, so can the muscles.) Rodriguez has been out and about with Torrie Wilson, a grande dame of p...
