Tom Brady Loves To Fly And It Shows
Tom Brady's offensive line is fierce in their devotion to him, and that includes, apparently, censoring the in-flight movies on flights to away games. No sooner had the movie begun on the Patriots' flight to Cincinnati last week than a moment during the opening credits proved a bit, um, awkward for ...
You Could Be The Next Johnny Utah, Brah
If you're like us, you pretty much worship the movie Point Break, starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, but are saddened that there has never been a live theater production. Well, fret no more.

You'd Think LeBron Would Be Accustomed To Being Surrounded By Nobodies
Like many of you since 1996, I missed Saturday Night Live last night, hosted by LeBron James, and have only the YouTubery offered up by NBC to go on. In this case, the monologue ("LeBronologue!"

The Austrians Might Not Play Soccer Like The French, But They Still Emulate Them
The Austrian soccer team is hosting the Euro 2008 tournament, which gives them a bid in the tournament. The problem is that Austria has lost eight consecutive matches and is pretty much gonna get destroyed. (And by "destroyed," we mean "lose 1-0.") It's inspiring some fans to beg the team to give up...
Orange! Orange! Orange!
Did you know just 1% of Yahoo! College Pick'em users chose Syracuse to win today's game? I tell you, that Leo Rautins is one loyal son of a bitch!...
Victims Of Spin Rage: The Forgotten Minority
We revist yesterday's spin rage post for the simple reason that we now have a photo of Mr. Stuart Sugarman, the man who was unceremoniously thrown into a wall — along with his stationary bike — for refusing to stop grunting during his workout in a Manhattan gym. At first I was sympathetic to his pre...

Carr Surely Has Lots To Contribute In This Friendship
We're still a little bewildered by the fact that Russell Crowe was on the sidelines for Michigan's win over Notre Dame on Saturday. We don't understand why he cares so much about American collegiate football, first off, but mostly ... this guy is really friends with Lloyd Carr?...

Saturday Night Football Live From Somewhere
I have no idea how you guys watch all of this college football action AND the NFL. Seriously. My retinas are shot and my back is effin' killing me. And it's only Saturday! Gah! You guys must be machines! (Well, that, or really, really fat.)...
