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...
You Can Make Antoine Walker an All Star Again!
Some enterprising internetters over on the RealGM message boards have hatched a plan to corner the NBA All Star voting market involving cookies (not the kind you throw or use to torture). I'm a moron so I don't really understand all of their Internet Explorer speak but I have deduced that they are q...
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...
Coach Cal Defeats Coach Calhoun, Cancer
Both Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts notched career highs in scoring en route to Memphis's 81-70 win over Connecticut in the finals of the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic benefiting Coaches Versus Cancer. Douglas-Roberts led the way with 33 points to put away Jim Calhoun's Huskies in the se...
This Is Why People Hate High School
Everybody knows that the only thing on earth better than cheerleaders are cheerleaders who flash some ass. Despite this universal understanding the Modesto City Gestapo School Board are allowing cheerleaders to be suspended for flashing their panties....
Wilkins Scores 41, Hawks Lose...Seems Familiar
Of course the Wilkins in question is Seattle's Damien, not his uncle Dominique formerly of the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran busted out for 41 points in the Super Sonics second consecutive win on the heels of an 8-game losing streak. Damien's outburst was eventually overshadowed, but you'd think he'd b...
Dennis Dixon Has Balls of Uranium
So it's official, Dennis Dixon tore his ACL ... two weeks ago. So that first quarter touchdown run on Thursday night just went from awesome to unbefuckinglievable....
About Last Night
What you missed while preparing for the end with your comrades... • NBA: LeBron James is really starting to get a hang of this basketball thing. I think he just got fouled again. • CFB: Hawaii pulled one out of their ass without Colt Brennan. Can I go to bed now? Sleep is where I'm a viking. • CBB: ...
Kirby Freeman Did Not Have a Good Day
It’s nice to see that someone took the time to dedicate a video to Kirby Freeman’s other-worldly stat line from Miami’s overtime loss to NC State. 1-14 84 yards 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions—that’s just fantastic. But hey, that 84 yard touchdown was probably the highlight of the day....
The Continuing Reign of Joe Calzaghe.
Back on Saturday night the longest tenured champion in all of boxing, Joe Calzaghe (44-0), defended power-punching Mikkel Kessler (for free) on HBO. Although the Dane proved to be one of Calzaghe's toughest opponents, he couldn't get enough going to out-point the aggressive champion. Calzaghe's reig...
Chase Is Living the Life
I'm not sure if this picture is from Halloween or if Arizona sophomore Chase Budinger is just a big fan of Larry Bird, but that hardly matters. Who wouldn't want to be a basketball player at the U of A (One lucky soul even got the privilege of being my neighbor for a couple of seasons)? You're alway...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while bending over and taking it from the Patriots... • MLB: World Series Game 4, Boston at Colorado. If God's going to make something happen, now is the time. [FOX] • CFB: Central Florida at Southern Mississippi. Don't ask why, just go with it. [ESPN] • Uncomfortable Comedy: Curb Your...
Luis Castillo Is On That "Stuff" Again
In China they say that a hippopotamus in your swimming pool is a sign of good fortune and virility*. In San Diego it means that the poor big bastard needed to soak his shit out. Seriously, those wildfires will dry out your skin before you know it....
Colleen Bellotti Is In Tents
Colleen Bellotti-who may or may not be the First Lady of Oregon football-laid in to the Oregonian's John Canzano at Saturday's game, and she didn't care who was around. Canzano had written some uncomfortable stories regarding Bellotti's son's DUI, which is pretty odd, considering he's also a member ...
Bryan Is a Multi-Talented Blogger
• Picking up Tina Cervasio has been a dream of more than one member of the media. [Screwballs] • You will love Jon Lester, win or lose. Ha! Like they're not gonna win... [The Smittblog] • Joe Girardi is out of the running for the Yankees job...or is he?. No. [Bugs and Cranks] • What would the Bulls ...
OK, Peyton Can Keep His Job
Damn, just when you write off Peyton Manning as a fluke he comes back to life! Since we last checked in he's added a pair of touchdown passes (Wayne and Addai) and the Colts have pulled away from the first place Panthers. Wait...Carolina's in first place? I don't think I want to live in such a world...
English Football (The Real Kind)
Liverpool took an early lead within the friendly confines of Anfield but they couldn't hold off red-hot Arsenal for the full 90 minutes. Liverpool took a quick lead courtesy of a low rocket delivered by Steven Gerrard on a fixed piece in the sixth minute. From there the defense took root in an attem...
Our Big Ben Can't Tell Time Or Hold His Liquor, But He Can Throw
In Cincinnati the quarterbacks have been all but perfect. Caron Palmer has gone 14-16 for 114 yards but the Bengals have seen two drives stall out forcing them to settle for a pair of field goals. Conversely Ben Roethlisberger is 10-12 for 136 yards with two satisfying touchdowns. Willie Parker has ...
Undefeated Teams Remain Undefeated
Boston College got things off to a good start for the undefeated teams back on Thursday night. By the time Monday morning rolled around all four of the unbeaten BCS schools remained perfect. The Sun Devils of Arizona State came out with the most significant-and perhaps most unexpected-victory of the...
