Mmmmm ... Super Bowl Ad Controversy
Well, that was $2.5 million well spent. Not only did the "Snickers car mechanics kiss" Super Bowl ad horrify Rex Grossman, but it has also angered gay and human rights groups, NASCAR fans, makers of other candy, lovers of motor oil, Puppy Bowl III participants, Muslims and most species of fish.

The Day ESPN.com Stood Still
Seriously, everyone: What we witnessed today was one of the most amazing Web "uprisings" we can imagine. We suspect there will be quite a few "all right, maybe we should rethink how we do this" meetings in Bristol tomorrow, and it's entirely thanks to you. We didn't even have to prod you; it was a b...

If You See These People At Large, Turn Them In IMMEDIATELY

New ABA Coach Has Cleanest Rain Gutters In His Neighborhood
We love the Dodge City Legends' motion offense; the one in which their center sets picks at the top of the key. Because it's important to keep the tallest player in the history of organized basketball as far away from the basket as you can at all times. You've probably heard of Sun Ming Ming, a nati...

Nick Saban's Odd Way Of Bonding With Reporters
Curious how new Alabama coach Nick Saban could possibly become less popular? (Well, other than screaming "Roll Tide!" while having sex with two strippers.) Well, check out this audio from an "off-the-record" chat with reporters about the whirlwind of Saban hate coming out of Miami right now....

How much would you pay for a 1997 Bentley that's currently owned by Evander Holyfield? OK, let's sweeten the pot a little. Not only does a "portion" of the proceeds go to The Holyfield Foundation — which is out to, uh, help poor kids or something — but you also will able to personally have Evander h...

Bengal Watch
I hope you enjoyed the 48-hour period in which a "FREE CHRIS HENRY" t-shirt was appropriate. Save them, though, you never know when they'll be relevant again. The "troubled" wide receiver was released from prison on Saturday morning after a two-day stretch, slid out a side entrance, and hopped in a ...
