NFC Championship: Second Half
Elisha has been solid, but he hasn't done quite enough to put his team in a good position. Favre is doing Favre-like things and Mike McCarthy still refuses to run the ball. One correction from the first half, it appears that Brady Poppinga has three tackles (not the six I estimated). I guess I'm ju...
NFC Championship: First Half
Sorry for the delayed start, but we're underway in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which I'm told is positively lovely this time of year. The Packers are starting with the ball and Favre comes out in a succession of naked bootlegs. Perhaps this morning's episode of the Mayne Event was actually trying to tell ...

AFC Championship: Second Half
They're underway in the second half and we've already seen Tom Brady throw an interception off of a tipped ball. Everybody but Phil wants to see Billy Volek but Marmalard is still getting plenty on his throws when he has time. They have a got a first down inside the the twenty and it looks like we'...

Favre Mad Libs > Brady Slash Fiction
Have you ever wanted to write a story about Brett Favre, but you just couldn't find the right words to express your raging hard-on for the guy? Well worry no more, because the Gray Lady's younger, sluttier e-counterpoint has written the perfect formula....
Elisha's Special Lady Will Freeze With the Rest
If Abby McGrew wants to watch her boy-toy Eli freeze his nuts off in Green Bay then she's going to have to layer-up. Cooper-Eli's eldest brother-tells the New York Post (they get all the scoops!) that the quarterback won't have his woman sitting in a luxury box, because it's bad luck of course!...
Roy Knocks Tito Down, Wins Decision
Last night Roy Jones Jr. looked all of his doubters in the face and declared, "I am the king of all the fighters who should have retired years ago!" Well maybe he didn't say it, but I was certainly thinking it. Jones knocked Trinidad down on two occasions and won the decision going away. He even tau...
Trojans Fit Like A Glove
If somebody tells you that they have a read on this USC team then you should feel free to tell them that they are full of shit. Last night they came in to Pauley Pavilion and took care of business against a heavily favored UCLA team that couldn't get anything to fall (33% from the field). Aboya, Mb...

Who Wants It Less?
The New York Knicks were downright spectacular in their 88-84 win over the god awful Miami Heat. Isiah's bunch has now won three out of their last four games four out of their last five games and the boss is feeling pretty fuckin' good about himself. Check out the grin, the relaxed posture, and the ...
Dispatching Of the Swedes
Brad Guzan took full advantage of his opportunity on the big stage. The young American keeper was outstanding in America's shutout win against a fairly well-stocked Swedish national team. Eddie Robinson earned his first cap at the age of 29 and capitalized almost immediately with the match's first g...

More on this game to come in the near future. • NBA: Brandon Roy out-performed Dwight Howard but the Magic got the win over the Blazers. Greg Oden probably looked pretty dapper over on t...
Happy Championship Sunday!
Ladies and gentlemen, start your countdown. We're now just eight hours away from kickoff in the first game of the NFL's Championship Sunday. Things get underway at 3 pm eastern when San Diego will call the toss in Foxborough, and with any luck the game will still be competitive at 3:30. Once that's ...
Getting Friendly With the Swedes
The United States Men's National Team is back in action tonight at 8:30 in an international friendly against Sweden, and that means good soccer and sexy women. Tonight's contest is being held in Carson, California, so we're going to be in for a heavier dose of the puritanical American fans. Since w...
Terps Beat Heels, the End Is Nigh
This evening the number one team in the land was bested by a positively average (that's the nicest thing I'll say about them all year) Maryland Terrapins team. The UNC fans could have dealt with the loss by writing it off as one of those unfortunate conference defeats that seem inevitable for even t...

Lleyton Hewitt's Sister Probably Works Out
This is Lleyton Hewitt's sister Jaslyn. Obviously being some sort of body builder she's significantly more intimidating than any of the nancy boys on the ATP Tour, but on the women's side of things she'd just be another face. The wily Mottram brothers at Mister Irrelevant couldn't help but noticing ...
