Brown Bag it, Baby
Two weeks ago we wrote about Bears quarterback Jay Cutler getting sacked nine times in the first half by the Giants on Sunday Night Football. Cutler left that game with a concussion and missed the team’s following game, a win over the Panthers. …
Eagles playmaker DeSean Jackson got injured against the Falcons on Sunday after trying to catch a pass early in the second quarter. Quarterback Kevin Kolb was under pressure and floated a ball towards Jackson in order to avoid being sacked. The pass …
LeBron James wasted no time promoting one of his first items that has serious Miami ties. Nike released the LeBron 8 South Beach shoes on Saturday, 10 days ahead of the Heat’s season debut. The shoe’s colors are similar to the Miami …
It was only a week ago that I (and many others) was raving about Nebraska freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez. Martinez had run for 241 yards and four touchdowns in a road blowout at Kansas State and appeared to be in the mix with Denard Robinson …
Auburn running back Mario Fannin got credited with a 3-yard touchdown run to give the Tigers a 17-14 lead in the second quarter against Arkansas. Though Fannin appeared to have a clear path to the end zone, he was met just before the goal line and …
After going up 14-10 in the second quarter against Auburn Saturday, things went downhill for Arkansas the rest of the half. Not only did Auburn benefit from a bad call at the goalline to take the lead 17-14, but Hogs quarterback Ryan Mallett got hurt …
Lakers forward Ron Artest has gone from notoriously hated to universally beloved in a short amount of time. After getting into trouble in Detroit, he forced a trade out of Indiana, then went to Sacramento, Houston, and he now appears to have a home …
Nolan Ryan may be 63 years old, but the fireballin’ Texan can still bring it. The Rangers’ minority owner threw out the first pitch before Game 1 of the ALCS in Arlington and entertained the fans with his scowl and classic high leg kick. …
If you’re a Texas Rangers fan walking out of the Ballpark in Arlington or done watching Game 1 of the ALCS on TV, you have to be asking yourself “how the heck did that just happen?” The Rangers were up 5-0 in the 7th and on absolute …
The contest between Nebraska and Texas Saturday in Lincoln is a huge game for Cornhuskers fans (not unlike every other game). They want revenge for last year’s loss in the Big 12 title game and have even made t-shirts that caused a controversy. …
Earlier in the week, I wondered whether Brett Favre was faking, or at least exaggerating his elbow injury. While I concluded that he was probably bothered by the elbow (not to mention the nuts) but still exaggerating its effects, count Hall of Famer …
As much as we rip on umpires for getting calls wrong (and insist upon instant replay), they actually do a good job. When you consider how fast the game is played and how difficult it is to get in the right positions to make calls, they get it right …
The way he started off the season, I thought Peyton Manning was on his way towards winning a 4th MVP award. Peyton had 11 touchdowns against one interception through the first four games of the season (producing a 2-2 record). He still might bring …
Former Miami Hurricanes linebacker Melvin Bratton had some strong words for the Miami program this week. Bratton, who was in attendance for the Canes’ debacle at home against Florida State Saturday, told The Miami Herald the program was in a …
Take a good look at that shirt now because you probably won’t see it again. The Web site www.redoutshirt.com came up with that shirt to sell to Nebraska fans ahead of the big game with Texas this weekend. Nebraska is going with a Red Out in …
The same week that Tony Dungy elicited the anger of Chargers coach Norv Turner, he also upset the Dallas Cowboys. Dungy inspired the Cowboys last year saying they had no chance to beat the undefeated Saints, but this time his comments were reserved …
