Call This "A Warning Sign"
Because there's little more amusing than a crazed fan unleashed on YouTube, we introduce you to "Kitney2Furrey," a Tigers booster who has been posting pretty much every day during the season. We are so glad we didn't watch the World Series with this guy last year. Not only would we have been blinded...

The Fanhouse has our favorite story of the day: Former Chiefs running back/bulldozer Christian Okoye is appearing on a CBS reality show called "Pirate Master." (We didn't know "master" was a rank of pirate, but whatever.) Here's the synopsis:...

ESPN Trots Out The Barbaro Crazies Again
We have enjoyed, in this week of Barbaro remembrance, the new focus on the kind, not-at-all-unbalanced souls who worship at the altar of the great lost champion, the ones we've been following with somewhat concerned fascination over the last year. Without fail, every reporter who talks to the Dee Mi...

One of their employees apparently had a bit too much to drink, and when he showed up on live...
Randy Moss To The Patriots. We Still Don't Believe It.
As we await the inevitable Bill Simmons column about this — Five Tool Tool goes ahead and sums it up for us — we continue to watch our mind boggle over the notion of Randy Moss playing for the Patriots. We've never found Moss as annoying as, say, Terrell Owens, but he's hardly what we think of when ...
You Can't Stop Barbaro, You Can Only Hope To Put Him Down
Expect, in the next week, Madison Square Garden to be haunted by the ghost of a rather pissed Barbaro; the overtime in the Rangers-Sabres game yesterday caused the Barbaro documentary to be postponed and rescheduled for the vastly unworthy CNBC this Friday.
