It’s Thursday and once again there is an NFL game which I cannot watch. My fury at the NFL, NFL network and Comcast continues, but my rage will be overshadowed by an estrogen-centric fireball from the mid-Atlantic states. The Baltimore Ravens are pre-empting an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. If you don’t remember what Grey’s Anatomy […]

His inevitable response:
“Anybody tell you that I missed a mandatory team bowling event…if a coach tells you that I missed a mandatory team bowling event, then you all hear it, then that’s that. I mean, I might have missed one team bowling event this year. But if somebody say, ‘He doesn’t come to mandatory team […]

This quote from FHM is one of the many reasons that Charles Barkley may be the greatest person in the history of time:
“I will say—not to sound racist—one of the great travesties of American history is white guys being afraid to shave their heads because they think they’re going to have an ugly head.”
As a […]

Seahawks 34, Packers 24 - SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW
NC State 74, Michigan 67 - The ACC ass-whooping of the Big Ten begins.
Orlando Magic 88, Utah Jazz 75 -What do you call an individual member of each of these teams, a Jazzer? A Magician?

Ben Wallace used to be that blue collar hustle player that marketing campaigns are built around. He was the embodiment of the Pistons “Going to Work” promotions. He even had the background story. He was that son of share-croppers who went to Virginia Union and worked his way into the league through hard work and […]

I don’t understand cricket. I know it’s like British baseball and that the games are long and that there might be tea involved. That’s about it. Also, I think there’s something called a googily and the bats are useful for kicking zombie ass. For the most part though, I don’t get cricket. But this is […]

Colts 45, Eagles 21 - Joseph Addai scores four touchdowns, starts going by “LT.”
Titans 24, Giants 21 - The Giants’ quest to give my dad a heart attack continues next week against Dallas.
Ravens 27, Steelers 0 - Luckily for Pittsburgh, they can’t take away Lombardi trophies. Maybe they should, but they can’t.
Bengals 30, Browns 0 […]

The University of Miami announced today that they were dismissing Larry Coker. Just to let you know, I’ve had that statement on my clipboard ready to paste since, well, 2005. The news itself is utterly unremarkable; however, the aftermath has amazing potential. Coker will coach the 6-6 Hurricanes in their inevitable crappy bowl. A lame-duck Larry Coker coaching […]

Ms. Wie finished second to last. (An amateur was the one player to finish behind her.) She didn’t record a single birdie in the event. She finished at 17 over. The event was the Casio World Open at the world-renowned Kuroshio Country Club.
I mean, my God! Let’s give the whole playing with the men thing […]

Cowboys 38, Buccaneers 10 - Playing at home each Thanksgiving is clearly an unfair scheduling advantage.
Dolphins 27, Lions 10 - Sometimes that advantage doesn’t matter.
Chiefs 19, Broncos 10 - And sometimes it’s more important to the NFL that you yearn to watch a game than actually watching it.

No Hangover today because of, well, a hangover.
Man City 3 - Fulham 1: Citeh finally gave up a home goal this season and Joey Barton didn’t moon the fans after a good game.
Portsmouth 2 - Watford 1: American Jay Demerit had a day of ups and downs. He scored a goal but was whistled for […]

You have no doubt heard of Dead Schembechlers. The Schembechlers are featured semi-regularly on Deadspin per one of their major themes: Ohio is a crazy, crazy place. They have now emerged from the underground and have been featured on the Worldwide Leader.But here’s the question that must plague the central Ohio music scene: Where do […]

I usually try to remain a bit neutral, or at least hide my biases behind some neutral langage. I will not this week. Ohio is a backwards state whose only influence on the world has been malevolent destruction, intellectual regression and the permanence of the mustache. Also, it makes the drive from Michigan to the […]
