UPDATE: Colt McCoy and Rachel Glandorf are engaged Yes, the blonde in the stand of the Texas-Missouri game that kept being featured on TV was Colt McCoy’s girlfriend. Turns out it’s Rachel Glandorf, a Baylor track athlete who also does …
Look, holding the Packers hostage for about the past three years was pretty horrendous. Bitching that the organization didn’t pull off a trade for Randy Moss was not a good thing. Asking to come back and then demanding a trade is nuts. But …
Though Kellen Winslow has quite the rocky past with the media, he has very little history here at LBS. Matter of fact, this might be a first in terms of mentions for K2. There was an easy opportunity I passed on last week when I chose not to get in …
When you’re reffing a game played at a high level, the action around you happens pretty quickly. That’s why it’s not uncommon to see a referee get caught up in the middle of a play and wind up knocked over by a ball-carrier, or a …
This hit on Ike Hilliard of the Buccaneers was so brutal it really makes you cringe. I really wonder if Jeff Garcia feels bad for putting Hilliard in such a bad situation. Even if it was the right throw to make, Garcia probably has some sorrow for …
Hines Ward is notoriously one of the toughest players in the NFL. He’s been fined several times throughout his career for his brutal play, including an incident two weeks ago for unncessary roughness against the Ravens. Apparently the strain on …
It was just six months ago that Bernard Hopkins was forced to eat his words upon losing to Joe Calzaghe. Hopkins declared pre-fight that he would never let a white boy beat him. Then he went out and lost the fight. Half a year later he was the …
Man, last weekend was like taking candy from a baby. We swept the board going 3-0 to improve to 11-7 on the year, and you didn’t even have to sweat for two of the picks. Considering the fact that last weekend was blowout city for Doc’s …
It’s amazing what impact the words of a legendary quarterback can have. On Monday the news came out that Tony Romo’s broken digit would keep him out 4-5 weeks — enough time to seriously derail the Cowboys chances of a Super Bowl …
ESPN writer Scoop Jackson penned a column on B.J. Upton explaining that Upton’s stellar play in the playoffs could attract young inner-city African Americans to play baseball. I never understood what the claims of the crisis to begin with; …
I’d like to think that most Dodger fans are pretty sensible creatures. Unfortunately Doyer fans have decided to make up for the Raiders not being in town anymore and have left me disappointed. They’ve been involved in stadium shootings, …
You remember that movie Forest Gump? It was based on a book called Being There. Also known as the Terry Francona story. That dude has just totally been along for the ride during the Red Sox success the past few years which includes a pair of World …
Baseball may have caused Stephen King to start reading during a game, but at least it didn’t put him to sleep. That’s more than I can say for this Spaniard who was so bored he passed out during the Stanislas Wawrinka/Feliciano Lopez 3rd …
It bothered me that Joe Torre got so much credit for the Dodgers making it to the playoffs, and even more after they swept the Cubs. The amounts of praise he received was nauseating. There was talk about what a calming influence he provided, how he …
This is easily one of my favorite videos on YouTube. The title tells the story. Enjoy. So that was NBA player and soon to be All-Star point guard for the Nets, Devin Harris, getting balled up by a no-name kid from the U.K. — Stuart Tanner. Big …
I spent Monday praising the Falcons for their turnaround and Matt Ryan for his amazing display of maturity despite being a rookie quarterback. You would ordinarily figure that if anyone would be pleased by the team’s display it would be the …
