Chase Cut To
The Busy Body Lounge, a strip club in Evansville, Ind., is causing controversy with a sign that promises a free blow job with each dance. Which is exactly the idea. (To create controversy, not to promise sex with a lapdance. Although that's also the idea.)...

Cheap Bourbons, Ranked
Each year around mid-August, publicists start burying everyone in the food journalizing racket with ideas for Thanksgiving coverage.

Chart: A Week In The Insane Life Of An NFL Head Coach
Over on ESPN, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was kind enough to provide a schedule of his work week leading up to Baltimore's game at Chicago on Nov. 17 (the story will appear in the Dec. 9 edition of ESPN The Magazine).

Bill Belichick And The NFL's Unexpected History Of Overtime Kick-Offs

Tavon Austin Scores Cool Touchdown, Moose Calls Him "Tavon Martin"
Cool pitch and half-reverse play here to spring Tavon Austin for a score. Daryl Johnston got his young black males mixed up, though, and called Austin "Tavon Martin"—because, well, you know—before quickly correcting himself. As unfortunate slips go, this isn't the worst, but I'm sure Moose would ra...
The Secret To Surviving The Holidays (There Isn't One)

Verne Lundquist Calls Replay As Though It's Live Action
Poor, old Uncle Verne must feel like he's in Groundhog Day. On second-and-four, LSU ran a quick pitch to Jeremy Hill for a loss of two yards. LSU was also penalized for illegal formation. The penalty was declined, setting up a third-and-six. Once everything was settled, CBS showed a replay of the p...
Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns
Navy's Keenan Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback last night by finding the end zone seven times.

How To Make Mashed Potatoes (Because That's All They'll Let You Make)
Insofar as your entire life, to this point, can be understood as a series of undertakings begun in earnest, gradually disintegrated by pressure and time, and then finally destroyed with sudden, spasmodic violence, you—exactly you, you there, reading this now—are the perfect person to make and bring ...
Jeff Van Gundy Sits Down During Live Shot; Mark Jackson Mocks Him
Jeff Van Gundy got off to a rough start last night and didn't even make it to the tip of Warriors-Lakers before stepping in it.

The Science Of Hangovers: Causes, Cures, And Prevention
