Brady Quinn, Friend To The Gays, Or Just Idol?
In the newest issue of Interview magazine, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, handsome man of leisure, spreads 'em and smiles big in a big photo feature. Brady looks all playful and chiseled and Notre Dame-y, we guess. You might notice, when you look at the pictures, that Brady is shot rather, oh, ...
World Series Blogdome: Detroit at St. Louis, Game 4

One Ridiculously Lucky Night In St. Louis
It seems silly to say this now, but had the Cardinals not come back and won last night's Game 4 against Detroit, it's difficult to imagine them winning this series. Not only would it send the home field back to Detroit, and not only would it put St. Louis in an extremely tough pitching position, but...
Oh. Tigers Fans. Honestly, We're Sorry.
On a night when Every. Single. Break. went the Cardinals' way, on a night when Tigers fans had to have been ripping out their eyebrows, on a night when the Cardinals' spikes were made of diamonds and the Tigers' were made of Vasoline ... the Cardinals have taken a 3-1 lead in the World Series and ar...
At Last, Game 4 Is Here (Probably)
Well, from all accounts on the ground, looks like we might get ourselves a little bit of baseball tonight. We are dried off, showered, rested and ready for Game 4, in which the Cardinals could throttle the Series around the neck level, or the Tigers could tie it up and make for a rather insanely str...
If You Were Wondering, Yes, It's Still No Longer Raining In St. Louis
A legitimate question: Is this World Series ever going to end? We're not saying that we find it boring, because we (obviously) don't. It's just that the weather is bad bad bad; biblical bad, worse than last night's rainout. The forecast says a 50 percent chance of rain around game time, with incre...
Bored Cadets Remake "Rudy"
From the invaluable and irreplaceable Every Day Should Be Saturday comes this video, made by cadets at the Naval Academy to pump up their team — we guess — for the game against Notre Dame on Saturday. We're really not sure what we can do with this; should we, like, send them a Penthouse or something...

Let Them Buy Gear
If you ever need a vivid example of the disconnect between the people who run the games we watch and us, the people who spend the money that allows them to do it, just try paying nearly $200 bucks for a World Series game that's in a rain delay....
What A Beautiful Night At The Ole Ballpark
You know, we're starting to think maybe we're just not supposed to watch a World Series game. Not that sitting out in two hours in freezing rain waiting for FOX to decide whether or not they wanted to pre-empt "Prison Break" next week wasn't fun, but ......
Just In Case Game 4 Happens, We Should Probably Show Up
Yes. We are risking much wrath from Cardinals fans for actually attending this game; our record is far from impressive. But we are talking about the World Series here, and when you get a chance to go to the World Series, you go. We'll apologize in the morning....

Lynn Swann Brings Many Skills To The Political Table
Not to bring up politics again, but as many as you know, former Steelers Hall of Famer Lynn Swann is running for governor of Pennsylvania. As anyone who has ever spent time in the general vicinity of the great city of Pittsburgh, part of your duties as political candidate is to play beer pong with y...
Like A Bat Out Of Hell, We'll Be GONE When The Morning Comes!
Because we are a badass road cannon of destruction, we are zooming through the Midwest this week in a silver Chevy Cobalt. (We went to a motocross event in Taylorville, Ill., over the weekend and showed up in this car; this in no way caused us to be mocked, nope.) It's looking incredibly unlikely ...

Jeff Suppan Will Win For You, But He Will Not Let You Clone Him
So since we've been in the Midwest this week, we've appreciated the primal pleasure of a good political attack ad. Most of the races in New York aren't close, so everyone's all nicey-nice in their ads. Not so in Missouri, where there's not only a brutal Senate battle between Jim Talent and Claire Mc...
