Hating The Yankees With The Strokes
This offseason has been a somewhat difficult one for Mets fans, who are still trying to deal with the glue that held Carlos Beltran's bat to his shoulder and the creeping sense that they really are going to sign Moises Alou.

The New Jersey Nets Are Looking For GILFs

Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...

It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last.

Dwight Howard, Enjoying His Youthful Years
You know how we know that the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard is just starting to break the ceiling of NBA stardom? He's hanging out with porn stars.

Who's Sorry Now? Pac-10 Football Edition
This week on Who's Sorry Now? we're proud to present the rare Double Apology. USC football coach Pete Carroll dips his bucket into the Well of Regret not once, but twice for comments he made during the Trojans' win over Oregon on Saturday. The ODucks Blog is less than impressed, however:...
Meow Meow Meow Meow
Every Day Should Be Saturday, whose daily brilliance might be what we'll miss most about college football once it's gone, directs us to this clip from last night's West Virginia-Pittsburgh game, in which quarterback Pat White does his best impersonation of Halle Berry in Catwoman.
