When I tuned into Around the Horn, I was horrified to see that Jay Mariotti had the same Halloween costume as I. I still think I did it better. I have a headset and a real video camera. Take that Jay!
I really hope I run into a girl dressed like Tom Brady. I have on […]

You know what? I am not ashamed of my Brett Favre man-crush. And I’m getting kind of sick of everyone complaining about announcers’ man-crushes. He’s Brett Favre. He’s awesome. Sometimes he throws the ball into coverage. Sometimes he throws touchdowns. He always throws the ball really hard. And I like that. When last night’s […]

All in all, it was a generally ho-hum weekend for tackle football. There was an uninspiring game in London. The Patriots destroyed whomever they played. There wasn’t even a major upset in college football. (Considering this year, that’s actually quite noteworthy.) The NFL didn’t even have a night game. I thought Sunday Night was Football […]

Even when it’s not about the Yankees, it’s always about the Yankees. The Red Sox’s (Red Sox’? Red Soxs’?) recent success/hatability has led them to be called, by more than a few, the “New Yankees.” Well, screw the New Yankees, it’s Old Yankee time. If I wanted to deal with New Yankees, I’d watch […]

Last week’s non-homicide related episode of Friday Night Lights was fantastic. I’ll bitch about Landry-on-the-lam soon enough. Before that I have plenty of good story lines to recap from last week, so you’ll be ready for tonight’s episode, “Backfire.” I’ve decided that I want to start including quotes from the episode to introduce my little […]

Hippopotamuses remain neutral.
Guys in shorts don’t like him either.

Also, the Virginia Tech coaching staff decided rushing three in the last two and half minutes was enough. They were incorrect.
VT’s defensive line was running over, around, and through BC’s offensive line the entire game. BC had no answer for Virginia Tech’s stacked overload rush. (The one where they took on of their defensive lineman, […]

Free. Taco.
That’s all you need to know after Game 2 of the World Series.
Free Taco.
Thanks to Jacoby Ellsbury, everyone in America gets a free taco. Everyone. In the 50 states and the District. (Sorry Puerto Rico and Guam.) Sure, it’s only 79 cents for a taco at Taco Bell, but it’s free. For anyone. In […]

Dear Rudy Giuliani’s Political Advisors,
Do you exist? If you do, then I have this to say to you. There is no way this didn’t come up. There is no way they didn’t have a plan for this. I mean, your candidate is a very public Yankees fan. Your candidate has criticized Hilary Clinton’s fair-weather […]

Way back in 2001, I found myself as a lone Yankee fan in a high school full of converted Diamondback fans. They weren’t really Diamondback fans, no one really is. They were just rooting for whomever the Yankees were playing. It could have been the Braves — the Braves, for criminy’s sake! The Braves!– […]

In news that only affects Mel Kiper Jr. and the Minnesota Vikings, the NFL has announced that it will cut first round pick time from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. The second round will be shortened from three minutes, from 10 to 7. The remaining rounds will stay at their current length.
“We believe this will […]

My internet has been failing at life recently. My internet provider is Comcast. I had planned on not taking sides on the “Big Ten Network” issue. I thought both the cable company and the Big 10 were basically screwing the fan. They both are, but screw Comcast, I like having the internet be reliable. So, […]

Every Friday I’m recapping the previous week’s episode of Friday Night Lights, in a vain attempt to get more viewers. I’ll recap the major story lines, give some predictions, and gripe if necessary. (It’s usually not necessary.)
- This season’s potentially disastrous story line was handled exceptionally well last episode. Instead of the usual cops-searching-the-school all-points-bulletin […]

The Colorado Rockies have had nothing to do for a while. They haven’t lost since 2003 and may be a little over confident. They swept the D-Backs a couple weeks ago or something, and I think they’re getting a little stir-crazy. This confident boredom might have led to them getting in a little bit over […]

Joe Torre turned down an incentive-based, one-year pay cut from the Yankees yesterday. Good for him. It was a fairly insulting offer, even though he would stay the highest-paid manager in baseball. It basically insinuated that he wasn’t trying before. Steinbrenner has pretty much treated him like crap the last 6 years, so it’s good […]

Jimmy Kimmel is banned from Monday Night Football. Awesome. Now, the official reasoning behind the ban was that his jokes were classless and disappointing. I prefer to believe he was banned simply because he isn’t really that funny. It’s not that his jokes are inherently unfunny, he may just have the worst delivery ever. I […]

Manny being Manny is getting irritating. During yesterday’s inexplicable off-day — which I’m almost certain had something to do with Joe Buck being on Conan last night — Manny topped his insignificant showboating by showboating about being insignificant.
With the Red Sox just one loss from elimination, the star slugger was asked about Game 5 of […]
