Eric Crouch Skypes With His Heisman In The Frame
Tim Tebow prototype Eric Crouch won the 2001 Heisman Trophy, and his bio pretty much ends there. A dominant college player, he never found much of a place in professional football and now works as an analyst for Fox. Still, though, he's got the trophy and time to kill; this makes him a go-to for sh...
Bill Murray: A Traitor To His Crass. <em>Hyde Park on Hudson</em>, Reviewed.
1. Everything about Hyde Park on Hudson feels like it's taking place in a wax museum. Actually, that's not giving it enough credit: It's more like the Hall of Presidents robotic displays at Walt Disney World....
Report: Cam Newton Was A Dick To Some People 10 Months Ago
Remember the Pro Bowl? Of course you don't! But CBS's Pete Prisco does, and he remembers Cam Newton being the only one of six quarterback in the game to actually face a pass rush. So now, after nearly a year of dogged reporting, Prisco's gotten down the bottom of things. It seems Cam Newton was mean...
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Yesterday's Dinamo Zagreb-Dynamo Kyiv Champions League match in Croatia found itself being played under those most beautiful of conditions: a massive snowfall that blanketed the pitch. (It led to one of the prettiest delayed games you'll see in awhile.) In the end, a stoppage-time penalty allowed Z...

Cotto-Trout: The Sentimental Narrative Gets Its Lip Busted
Salvador Sanchez was a great Mexican featherweight boxer who ran up a 44-1 record and won a featherweight title shortly before dying in a car crash in 1982, at the age of 23. Salvador Sanchez II is a Mexican featherweight boxer. The meaningful resemblances end there. The superficial resemblances co...
Jim Schwartz Ain't Even Mad
The Colts topped Detroit yesterday thanks to some last-second Andrew Luck magic, and it's the sort of ending one might expect could launch notoriously-volatile Lions coach Jim Schwartz into orbit. Not so, it seems, as Schwartz simply brushed it off with a "haters gonna hate" and marched back into t...
The Plot Thickens: Whoever Owns Nets.com Has Found A New Way To Mess With Mikhail Prokhorov

Why It's OK For The Chiefs To Play A Game Today
On its face, the idea of Romeo Crennel having to coach a football game mere hours after witnessing his own player, Jovan Belcher, commit suicide seems petty and dickish and greedy and lazy and stupid. I know that was my first thought yesterday when the NFL announced that the Panthers-Chiefs game wou...
Beer Of The Week: Coney Island Human Blockhead
First time I ever stepped onto Coney Island was to cover the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is a lot of capital letters to ascribe to an event in which men and women choke down mountains of tube steaks on national television, yes, but indeed an event you should attend to if you consid...
Judge: The NCAA Went "Over The Top" In Its Investigation Of USC's Todd McNair Because Of "Ill Will Or Hatred"
The NCAA's "University of Southern California Public Infractions Report," released in 2010, declared not only that Reggie Bush had received improper benefits from a pair of marketing agents during his time at USC, but that there was one man on the USC staff who knew about it: USC assistant coach and...
