To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you celebrate the seven-year anniversary of your move to New York City ... • College football: Tostitos Bowl Championship Series title game, Florida vs. Ohio State, at Glendale, Ariz. Will we be arrested if we eat Doritos during this? [Fox] • College basketball: Villanova at Georget...
The Inside Story On Gilbert's Birthday Bash
The big party last week was, not surprisingly, the big Gilbert Arenas birthday party, complete with ice sculpture, Clinton Portis and, of all people, Kissing Suzy Kolber's own Unsilent Majority. (Obviously, Agent Zero should be a bit more judicious with the guest list.) Unsilent spoke with Free Dark...
NBA Roundup: Say It With Us ... Sasha Vujacic
Notes on Sunday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
Ah, To Be Young And Tony Romo
Another reason YouTube is changing our lives in new and exciting ways: The already infamous Tony Romo fumble moment from Saturday night is being reenacted by spasming lonely fools in their bedrooms. You're totally wrong, Cuban: YouTube is Allah's gift to us all!...
Many People Taking Photos Of Two Men Hugging
We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after...
Now They Just Need Marky Mark To Play Linebacker
As Garcia Mania continues to sweep the greater Philadelphia area — if just because "Westbrook Mania" doesn't have the same indelible linguistic flow — we point out to you the spoils of quarterbacking an NFL team that is the company in a company town: Incredibly awkward local television commercials! ...
Giants vs. Eagles, 4th Quarter
- 3rd and 2 for the Giants from the Eagles 6, and Eli Manning just can't make anything happen. He fails to see a wide open Plax in the back of the endzone, and ends up throwing it away, which, I suppose, is all you could expect from Eli Manning. They settle for the field goal, and it's 20-13 Eagles ...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football. GMAC Bowl, Ohio vs. Southern Mississippi. Finally, the bowl game that the state of Ohio has been waiting for. 8:00, ESPN. • Movie. Rocky II. Whatever was ailing Adrian in Rocky II killed her by Rocky VI. 8:00, ESPN Classic....
Giants vs. Eagles, 3rd Quarter
- The Eagles are getting the ball here to start the second half. And if they score here, it would force Eli Manning into a lot of passing situations, which would be fantastic for people who hate Eli Manning....
Giants vs. Eagles, 2nd Quarter
- The Giants are on pace for over 400 yards......
Giants vs. Eagles, 1st Quarter
- Alright, here we go. I'm expecting this Eagles/Giants game to be more eventful and more... disastrous. NFC East games tend to veer towards the absurd. This will not be a quality football game, but it will probably be fun....
Jets vs. Patriots: 4th Quarter
- We're about to start the 4th with the Jets down 10. It could still happen for them, but they need to get something going quickly. Come on, Chad, let's make this one close....
Jets vs. Patriots: 3rd Quarter
- The third quarter's just gotten underway. Shawne Merriman was interviewed by satellite at halftime, and he was either wearing a tank top, a unitard, or a pair of suspenders with no shirt. It's an unusual look, and not one that many people can pull off. Shawne Merriman included....
Jets vs. Patriots: 2nd Quarter
- 7-3 Patriots here... and I'm enjoying the Jim Mora Coors Light commercial for about the sixth time this weekend. This one's not getting old. Jim Mora is the anti-Mellencamp....
Jets vs. Patriots: 1st Quarter
- Hello... welcome back to another day of hot, nasty, NFL action. The Jets and Colts are a few minutes from kicking off. I don't know if I'm going to watch, though. Sundays are for bowling....
Cowboys vs. Seahawks: 4th Quarter
- The Cowboys are opening the quarter with a punt here. They're up by four with 15:00 to play. I would really love to see an exciting finish here. After that early game, frankly, I think we all deserve it....
Cowboys vs. Seahawks: 3rd Quarter
- The halftime show is over, mercifully bringing Jim Mora Jr.'s career as an analyst to an end. Cena was surprisingly gentle, by the way....
Cowboys vs. Seahawks: 2nd Quarter
- There are the Hasselbeck ladies. Obviously, they're pretty bundled up and it's hard to tell, but... I think Hasselbeck's mom might have a slight edge in that matchup. I can't make the call from here....
Cowboys vs. Seahawks: 1st Quarter
- The biggest reason I'm excited about this game is that it's the last I'll have to see this year of Jerome Bettis....

We're getting this out of the way now, because after this, it's all football, my friend......
