One Pre-Season Game and Jay Cutler’s Already a $100 Million Quarterback

So Jay Cutler goes 5/10 for 64 yards and an interception in the Bears first pre-season game against the Bills and Bears fans aren’t thrilled. The next week he goes 8/13 for 121 yards with a touchdown pass and a 12-yard scramble and all of a …

Paulie Malignaggi: Ringside Judge from Texas F***ed Me in Juan Diaz Fight

Let me first say that I did not get to watch Paul Malignaggi’s fight with Juan Diaz over the weekend. If I had, I would have seen what was apparently a pretty close fight. Well, a pretty close fight in the eyes of everyone except Gale Van Hoy, …

Lou Holtz: Master Prognosticator

Notre Dame’s been so bad recently that Domers can’t even boast about how good or talented their team is. Instead, they’ve resorted to telling us how their schedule is favorable and how playing easier competition will lead to …

Takahiro Kuroishi Shows Us How to Get Knocked Out in Two Seconds

It’s actually much easier than you think. I mean, even I could last longer than two seconds. But in case you’re ever in an MMA fight folks, here’s not what to do: Apparently that was Takahiro Kuroishi getting knocked out by Ryohei …

Plaxico Ain’t Going to a Minimum-Security White Collar Luxury Resort

Two years in the slammer for Plaxico — book it. Aside from an NFL player not getting preferential treatment by the law (see: Stallworth, Donte), the biggest shocker in the Plaxico Burress unlicensed gun case is that the dude has actually hired …

Stubborn Jerry Jones Doesn’t Want to Raise the Video Board

So you get a rich team complemented by a wealthy, egotistical owner who wants to make a statement by building a state-of-the-art facility, blowing everyone away. They spend $1.2 billion constructing the Cowboys’ new temple, charging fans …

Derrick Rose Failed the ACT Three Times in Chicago, Passed SAT in Detroit

Or I guess as it were, someone else passed the SAT for Derrick Rose in Detroit. Memphis finally got its sentence from the NCAA and they were forced to vacate the 38-win season of two years ago and pay back the money they made from going to the …

Video: Jeremy Shockey and DeMeco Ryans Fight During Scrimmage

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before … Jeremy Shockey gets pissed off during a game and acts unreasonably. This is what happened Thursday during a scrimmage between the Saints and Texans. Sure, DeMeco Ryans may have been holding …

Video: Chad Ochocinco Johnson Kicks an Extra Point Field Goal Against Patriots

Wow, this was incredible. With Shayne Graham held out as a precaution because of a groin injury, the team went to Chad Ochocinco Johnson for their kicking duties. Ochocinco nailed an extra point following the Chris Henry touchdown and booted it …

Joe Mauer Is the MVP, End of Story.

I was enjoying what was truly a lovely evening (yes, that included a trip to the Olive Garden and some odds-on cotton panties), up until I came across a headline that just fouled up my entire mood. From Jeff Fletcher at FanHouse, who should fly to …

The .300 Club Angels Roll Along

The Angels may have swapped out Maicer Izturis for Howie Kendrick at second base on Wednesday night, but the .300 club still had a strong showing. Entering the game, every Angel starter except Kendrick had an average of .300 or better. By the end of …

Cliff Lee Is This Year’s CC Sabathia, Only Better

Last year the reigning AL Cy Young winner, CC Sabathia, was traded by the Indians prior to the trade deadline. CC performed magnificently, going 11-2 with seven complete games in 17 starts for the Brewers, frequently pitching on three days rest …

Mark Reynolds Receives His Golden Sombrero Crown from Cliff Lee

The LBS Golden Sombrero Club is beginning to discriminate in terms of membership. Garrett Jones of the Pirates takes one last week against the Rockies, the LBS presses are not halted. Hank Blalock was lucky to have slipped between the cracks last …

Packers Fans Commence the Obligatory Brett Favre Jersey Burning

Team legend switches franchises and goes to rival, fans get pissed off. You knew it was bound to happen. And how about Favre telling people to trust him that he’s not going to the Vikings to try and stick it to the Packers. Riiiight. Just like …

Bengals Once Again Appear to be Out of Touch with Reality

As we approach week 2 of the preseason, three first-round picks remain unsigned: Michael Crabtree for the 49ers, Aaron Maybin of the Bills, and none other than Andre Smith of the Bengals. Even though Smith had said he wanted to get into camp early so …

Vikings Already Selling Brett Favre #4 Jerseys and Merchandise

These teams must give the marketing departments the heads up on information before everyone else. How else can you explain the team site already having all kinds of Brett Favre Vikings jerseys and merchandise already up for sale? I think it was the …
