Brown Bag it, Baby
I don’t typically post about team uniforms, but these are so ugly they warrant our attention. After watching Oregon State win a couple of CWS titles in a row, Oregon decided it was about time to start fielding a baseball team again. And if …
The much-publicized Chris Berman halftime interviews with Barack Obama and John McCain finally aired Monday night. Funny they were promoted as the last one-on-one interviews each would do prior to the election when I saw sunlight behind each …
Like many of you, I saw the Giants manhandle the Cowboys on Sunday. Their first three touchdowns came on passes by Eli Manning, but the running game got the last two. Absolute man-child Brandon Jacobs bowled some people over to make it 28-7 — …
ESPN manages to pack their website full of every video known to man, yet they somehow let Trent Dilfer’s verbal assassination of the Cleveland Browns fall through the cracks on Monday. Speaking from the NFL Live set, the one-time Browns QB …
When I saw the 2006 Raiders play, I was convinced it was the worst offense I had ever witnessed in the NFL. While that Art Shell/Tom Walsh 2-14 squad ran out one of the worst offenses ever, the 2008 Raiders run by Tom Cable might actually be in the …
Normally I don’t like to mix politics on the site here, but I thought there were a few interesting points raised by this issue. California has a proposition in its upcoming election that would ban gay marriage statewide. Surefire Hall of Fame …
Even though 2008 is a lost cause (and I knew it would be heading into the year), excuse me if I am slightly excited about the Bengals’ first win of the season. About effing time. Anyway, I won’t subject you to too much Bengalism, but I do …
John Henderson is easily one of the scariest players in the NFL. In fact, if I were to wind up in a dark alley, he might be the last person I’d want to run into. The guy has the most insane pre-game ritual I’ve ever seen and he’s …
It’s amazing to see fan behavior. Nobody showed up to Knicks games because the franchise became so putrid under Isiah Thomas’ watch. They even had to start giving away food in fan appreciation days last season just to get people to buy …
2-1 last week, 13-11 overall against the spread. Building up some decent respectability but there’s still plenty of work to be done. As I said last week, I always like taking advantage of bye weeks. Of course when we did that in week 8, the …
For anyone who heard Chase Utley drop an f-bomb on the baseball fans that booed him in the All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, the speech he delivered Friday in Philadelphia would not be surprising. For those who did miss that window into his …
Between running a national powerhouse football team, recruiting high schoolers, handling the media, and dealing with BCS jokers, USC coach Pete Carroll sure has a lot on his plate. Despite the pressures of trying to go undefeated each season and win …
Could it be true? Is Jerry Seinfeld playing matchmaker in the A-Rod/Madonna love triangle? It appears as if the comedian’s home in the Hamptons served as a sly rendezvous for Madonna and A-Rod not long ago. From Page Six via Ben Maller: Our …
Look, I’m not saying that the Rays would have won the game otherwise, and I’m certainly not saying that the Phillies didn’t earn the World Series title — they did. But if there’s one issue I have with the way Game 5 …
You knew it was going to happen the moment the Phillies won the World Series. They didn’t quite burn the city down, but they did their share of damage. Of all the celebration videos I found, this is probably my favorite. Here’s an …
One of the biggest gripes against Peyton Manning is that he’s the face of the NFL and overexposed. Honestly, you can watch football all day Sunday and see more of Peyton in commercials than of him on the field. Weird he finds that much time on …
