How To Simulate Reggie Bush
Apparently, the Texas Longhorns are having a difficult time finding someone to simulate Reggie Bush on the scout team during practices....
See? Highlights Are Harder Than They Look
Yes, yes, we know this is old — seven months old, in fact — but we only recently saw it, it's a slow holiday weekday and, besides, it's tremendously, brain-hurting funny....
Clearing The 1 o'clock Table...
• San Diego 7, Kansas City 20. So, what did you use for pregame motivation, Marty, the tape of Jim Mora screaming, "PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS?!" I feel much pain. • Buffalo 37, Cincinnati 27. Rough day for Chad Johnson. First, someone stole his reindeer (I HATE YOU, whoever it was), and then, they lose to ...
Tuna About To Spoil?
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported this morning that Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells is considering retiring at the conclusion of this year. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is pushing him to sign an extension, but the death of Parcells' brother a few weeks ago has him thinking retirement, according to Mor...
Soon, They'll Start Stealing His Chicks
So here's a completely strange story: Apparently USC quarterback Matt Leinart — perhaps you've heard of him — was apparently suspended for the Rose Bowl for, like, an hour....
Leinart Responds To Party Photos
As you might have heard yesterday, USC quarterback Matt Leinart was spotted at NYC hotspot Marquee after finishing third in Heisman voting on Saturday night and according to the emailer who sent us the photos, he hit on a Texas woman — described as "one of the nicest people" by one of our commente...
Carnival Of The NHL, No. 15!
As mentioned, earlier this week, we were cordially invited to host the weekly/bi-weekly Carnival Of The NHL, which we were honored to do, mainly because we need to brush up on our hockey, a sport we struggle with sometimes because the Cardinals don't play it....
Last Call For Carnival Of The NHL
As mentioned on Monday, we're hosting the Carnival Of The NHL this week, and the deadline for submissions is today at 5 p.m. We'll be doing a whole big Carnival post tomorrow, so send us your best hockey posts of the week, and we'll feature 'em, because that's what we do here....
Those Amazing Panthers Twins
Well, you know, all football players look alike anyway....
"Really, Really Need Tickets"
If you've been on eBay at all, you know how expensive Rose Bowl tickets are getting. (They're running about $1,000-$1,200 a piece.)...
Keeping The Streets Safe From Waltons
Of all the celebrities who showed up at the USC-UCLA game last weekend, it must have been easy to miss Luke Walton, Lakers bit player and son of Big Bill Walton. But not for long. As reported by USC's From The Sidelines blog, the younger Walton was booted off the sidelines last weekend for not ha...
The Face Of Lesbian Cheerleader Terror
All right, thanks to Gambling911.com (now that Oddjack's gone, there are all kinds of sites we're gonna have to keep an eye on), we have a picture of Melissa Holden, the woman punched by Carolina Panthers cheerleader Renee Thomas after Holden interrupted Thomas' and Angela Keathley's Commode Copul...
Get Your Defunct T-Shirts
We're not much for handicapping — or, for that matter, the Heisman Trophy in general, which lost most of its charm for us when they moved it from the Downtown Athletic Club after September 11 — but we have to say that if you're looking for a potential collector's item, you musn't look much farther...
The Lady The Lesbian Cheerleader Punched
Anybody still care about the Carolina Panthers lesbian cheerleaders? Anyone? Jeez, all right, all right, not all at once, people, settle down, sheesh....
Carnival Of The NHL!
There's a cool little Web tradition called "Carnival Of The NHL," (they have one for the NBA too) where sports bloggers host all kinds of other sports bloggers' great posts about what's going on in the NHL. (If you're confused, here's the most recent one.) Because we're the new guys around here an...
Why Steve Smith Will Always Be Second
A friend of ours yesterday was asking us why, in our unprofessional opinion, Chad Johnson receives so much love for his touchdown celebrations while the Panthers' Steve Smith, who scores more touchdowns, catches more passes and does his own fair share of creative celebrating, is barely noticed. We...
Athlete Run-Ins: Messing With Cade
Today's first athlete run-in story comes to us just in time for the big UCLA-USC game this weekend (which would have been 10 times cooler had UCLA not gotten killed by Arizona earlier this year) and involves everybody's favorite Bears draft bust, Cade McNown. The teller is Joe Lederer from Long Be...
Baseball Owners And Their Emoticons
In yet another example of how Red Sox fans are so frighteningly devoted that they can get the people who run their team to do anything, Red Sox owner John Henry showed up on Sons Of Sam Horn yesterday to respond to various fans' questions. Say what you will about the coldness of Red Sox management...
Student Athletes Rule!
From the Angry College Professors department comes an email forwarded to us from the land of the USC Trojans. Fullback Mike Brittingham, a former walk-on with only one catch this year (though, assuredly, a lot of blocks), apparently missed a conference with one of his professors in October because...
Athlete Run-Ins: Matt Leinart's Surprise
These athlete stories, we have to say, they're really getting pretty fun, aren't they? After this morning's Andy Roddick story, we present a story about USC quarterback and co-ed depantser Matt Leinart ... AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE. From Los Angeles' John Bishop:...
