High-Percentage Field Goals Are For Losers
• Heauxly Crap. About a minute after Matt Flynn's last-second touchdown pass put the Tigers ahead of the ... Tigers, I had discovered that my eyebrows were still raised in amazement. LSU opted not to kick a field goal (or at least thought they'd still have time to boot one) and heaved one at the end...
NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over ...
It's Scary Down There In Baton Rouge
Last weekend, the genius that is Orson Swindle at Every Day Should Be Saturday attended the Florida-LSU game in Baton Rouge. We've never been to an SEC football game, but, man, do we want to now. We've never heard a better description of the madness of college football Saturday in the South than thi...
How To Bring Your Car Back From The Pound
Not much is worse than having your car towed. We once had our old Toyota Camry towed in St. Louis, and we had to take a cab to a lot in which — and we don't want to overstate this — Beezlebub himself required us to give him 200 bucks in cash. Our keys were covered in sulfur. It's not a fun place to ...

And, At Last, It Begins (Kind Of)
As much as we look forward to the beginning of college football season, it still takes us by surprise when it actually begins: It's actually kicking off tonight. In the spotlight game, it's Louisiana State, ranked No. 2 by just about everybody, travels to Mississippi State. The LSU fans are excited...
Our Only Regret Is That Gary Sheffield Does Not Have A Blog
This just in: Joe Torre is still a racist. He also hates puppies, and Flight of the Conchords. Let's get him! Such would be the cry if Gary Sheffield ran baseball....
Jason Grilli Is Pretty Sure He Has Fans
Any athlete with his own Web site has several options. He can be entirely weird and wonderful. He can speak blandly about this team and life As A Baseball Player. He can sporadically update and ask for charitable donations. Or he can just try to sell shit. Or, if you're Tigers pitcher Jason Grilli, ...
Central Heating: Tigers Are Getting Warmer
The Tigers submitted a letter of intent to win the Al Central on Tuesday, as Curtis Granderson made the kind of diving catch we all fantasized about in our backyard when we were 10 ... or, um, in my case, I'll admit, last weekend (your fantasy may vary)....
"How's Tiger Doing?"
It is not, inherently, in the sports fan's nature to root for the dominant favorite. We love underdogs, the scrappy upstart coming from nowhere and upsetting the proverbial applecart; it's our own sad, tiny way of imagining that, sometimes, sports can speak truth to power....

Sergio Garcia Retains Lead At Carnoustie; Enjoys a Michelob
The last time The Open Championship strolled through Carnoustie Sergio Garcia looked like a an overwhelmed high school player who struggled to break 90 both days. Eight years later he's back in Scotland and he's just one round away from becoming this year's wire-to-wire champion. There's no question...

Wilfredo Ledezma Is Careless With His Laundry
We haven't done much international travel, and, in fact, we just got our first passport about a year-and-a-half ago. We've heard countless nightmarish stories of people losing their passports and never getting home — we actually stitch it to our kneecap anytime we travel — but Tigers pitcher Wilfred...
One Grand Salami, Please ... Not On White!
Earlier yesterday, reports leaked that Gary Sheffield said black and white players are treated differently under Yankees skip Joe Torre, Derek Jeter "ain't all the way black," and that he never used steroids because "steroids is something you shoot in your butt," in an upcoming HBO interview. Needle...
