Strahan Would Totally Tap That
At first glance it's moral support from an unlikely source: Giants defensive end Michael Strahan says that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson should be given their space. Leave Romo alone! He's a human being! Etc., etc. But you and I know what the real deal is here. Hey Tony, if you ever get tired of her...
This T-Shirt Will Inject You With Something
A reader sends in this T-shirt he had signed about 20 years ago. It features signatures from Jose Canseco, Mo Vaughn and Roger Clemens, all three of which were prominently featured in the Mitchell Report last week....
Dennis Green Mocks Himself For Cash
Say what you will about former Buzzsaw "coach" Dennis Green, but you can't say he's not entrepreneurial. He has moved to copyright the phrase "They Are Who We Thought They Were."...
I Hope Hugh Had The Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)
The game to watch right now is Virginia Tech and Boston College, tied at 16-16. Earlier, Central Florida pulled away from Tulsa and won 44-23, and UCF tailback Kevin Smith is close to breaking the single-season rushing record set by Barry Sanders. Navy's water invasion of Army proves successful for ...
Reports Indicate Les Miles Reports Contradict Other Les Miles Reports - A Special Report
There was a really cool fake punt in the Tulsa-UCF game, because Tulsa's quarterback was lined up at punter. Obvious fake, right? Well, he's actually averaging 40 yards a punt, which is better than their main punter. He also installed the goalposts before the game, and sometimes mans the down marker...
MAC Championship Breaks Sound Barrier
The quantity of games is light, which is compensated with a hint of quality. Central Michigan leads Miami 7-0 for the MAC championship, Central Florida is up 10-7 on Tulsa for the C-USA crown, and Army-Navy is scoreless. And for a I-AA update, Appalachian State leads Eastern Washington 7-0. Virginia...
Look, you knew going into this that Hugh II: And The Nedyssey Continues had to end sometime. We're just not right for each other. It's not you, it's me. But hey, we had our fun! And I'll never forget you. It's the final week of the Hugh Johnson Project, so bring your best college football tidbits to...
A Trade That's Just Crazy Enough To Work!
The baseball winter meetings start next week, and that means countless unsubstantiated guesswork and fantasy trade scenarios. That's the fun of it, really; it will distract you from the horror that comes when your team gives $12 million for four years to Kyle Lohse....
Hugh II: Powder & Belch
I see Powder is an undergrad at UConn. Do you think he tries to pass it off as school spirit body paint at frat parties, too? — Tuffy...
Hugh II: Taste (In Women) Cannot Be Controlled By Law
ESPN is showing inspirational quotes from Thomas Jefferson every time Virginia is in a pinch in deference to the school's founder. Man, I hope they have a quote loaded when they show the cheerleaders. — Tuffy...
Hugh II: Sexy Pilgrims!
OK, I can handle watching Miami. I can handle Pam Ward. But I can't fucking handle ESPN's team introductions by pilgrims! Really? Is that necessary? (Though Pilgrim Elaine was kinda hot.) — Yunibomber...
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Johnson". You're Mr. Johnson. I'm the Skeets. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Skeetsness, or uh, Skeeter, or El Skeetsino at "NCAA Deadspin" if you're not into the whole AOL Instant Messaging thing. Let's college football! [Hu...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
I don't know if this qualifies for today's Hugh, but during last night's Nevada-Hawaii game, I couldn't control my laughter everytime the color guy said "WAC Offensive Player of the Week." -efelde84 (screen grab via FanIQ)...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
The Ref for the OSU-Mich. game looks like Steve Martin, and now I can't stop thinking how much I want Steve Martin to ref a game. -lintottr...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
Let's all give it up to Mac G at Big Ten Poon for singlehandedly making OSU/Michigan slightly less than intolerable. The game still sucks, but at least we've got something to look at while sit idly by waiting for some good games to be beamed onto our televisions. Without further ado, here's the Hugh...
New New New World Order ...
Just got done watching the NC State/ Carolina game, and State is so overkill with the Wolfpack thing it's ridiculous. If they don't incorporate Kevin Nash, Sting, Scott Steiner, Randy Savage, and Lex Luger into a pre-game entrance it'll be a shame. — pics1169...
Once Upon A Time In A Buffalo Wild Wings
So I go to Buffalo Wild Wings with a couple buddies to watch our Spartans beat Purdue and some Iowa bitch starts giving us some static about changing the channel. Fuck you, Iowa bitch, I said. — kycdxx (Ed. Hahahaha...)...
What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted
I'm busy watching "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" on IFC. For those of you in the dark, it's a kick-ass 2002 documentary about the Funk Brothers, an unheralded group of Detroit musicians who are basically the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music. It's fantastic. But, hey, let's p...
