Now, technically, for the game, that home-run was meaningless. It didn’t even make it a save situation. Perhaps it may be significant that it was the first back-to-back-to-back home-run in ALCS history, but I doubt that Manny realized that. Truly, it was far from meaningless, though. In the large scope of things, it may […]

July, 2010 - At an Applied Cryogenics press conference yesterday, Vinny Testaverde announced his plans to cyrogenically freeze himself so that he will be prepared in the case a quarterback starved NFL team would call upon him. Testaverde, 46, has said his declining health predicated his decision to freeze himself. Testaverde stated,”Although I believe […]

SNL works a lot better on Youtube. Most of the show is superfluous. But thanks to Youtube, I can watch the more popular clips, then decide that they really weren’t that funny for a variety of reasons. The actual clip is one of those sketches that is an hilarious idea that can’t really be executed […]

Each week, in another desperate attempt to spread the joy that is Friday Night Lights, I’m going to briefly recap the previous weeks’ episode and look forward to the upcoming week. I do this “recap” a week later because the show is on Friday, and I’m not going to recap a show on a Saturday […]

Seriously, try and stop them. Try. I dare you. You can’t. Waterbottles are especially ineffective. So are cheap take out slides. Sell-out crowds might be effective, but we’ll never know now, will we Arizona?

By now you’ve seen the Dida super-flop, which has the remarkable distinction of being the most egregious example of soccer. Just to remind you, here it is.
Well, now Dida is being suspended. For faking an injury. Just a reminder, this is soccer.
AC Milan goalkeeper Dida was suspended for two Champions League matches Thursday for pretending […]

Les Miles found great success a last weekend when he went for it on fourth down — repeatedly. Most notably, when a field goal would tie the game, he went for the fourth down, got it, and eventually scored a touchdown. LSU beat Florida by four, the winning margin being that 4th quarter touchdown. Dave […]

See, Michael Vick signed his contract. Then he got a bonus for signing his contract. They called this a “signing bonus.” Recently, Michael Vick was convicted on dog-fighting charges. This is all pretty despicable. To my knowledge, he hasn’t gone back in time and not signed his contract. So, because I’m not a lawyer, it […]

I just felt the need to share this photo, because I feel like if my dreams are going to be haunted, you all must suffer along with me.

No matter what NBC says, Monday Night Football is the premiere football game of the given week. NBC might usually have the better match-ups, but the fact remains that on Monday there is only one football game a week. I wasn’t too excited about the Bills-Cowboys MNF game, but I still watched intently, because it […]

Just to recap:
Jim Harbaugh, not a Michigan man, leads 40-point underdog Stanford to upset over #1 ranked USC at USC. It is considered in some circles the biggest intra-division upset in college football history.
Then #5 Michigan, which one would presume to be full of Michigan men, loses to D-2 (or whatever they’re called nowadays) Appalacian […]

Al Sharpton wants Isiah Thomas to apologize to women. Isiah Thomas doesn’t want to apologize to women. This, apparently, is his reasoning.
“You can’t say that. You can say what you didn’t say because if you say what you didn’t say, than y’all print what is said. That’s how you got me on the Bird […]

This interesting article raises an intriguing question: should Joe DiMaggio’s hit streak have an asterisk? The answer, of course, is no. But let’s play along for a little bit, if just to humor the idea. The idea, espoused by David “The Admiral” Robbeson, revolves around Yankee Stadium scorekeeper Dan Daniel. (Judging by his name, […]

Marc Bulger has broken ribs. The Rams have finally figured out that it is difficult to quarterback with broken ribs. And so, St. Louis’ backup quarterback will start in his place. I was expecting the ho-hum, genius, Harvard-grad Fitzpatrick, but instead, the NFL will once again be treated to Gus Frerotte. Huzzah! For now, in […]

Really, yesterday was probably the worst thing that could have happened for baseball fans. I mean, on the surface everything appears fine. The Rockies, Diamondbacks and Red Sox all got out to 1-0 leads in their respective division series. They all did it in relatively boring ways. But underneath the seemingly normal start to the […]

Pavlik earned a gross purse of $1.05 million Saturday. After the fight, the New Jersey Athletic Board of Control presented Pavlik with a […]

The Northern Colorado punter who stabbed the starting punter in a bizarre bid to play has been sentenced.
Former Northern Colorado backup punter Mitch Cozad was sentenced to seven years in prison Tuesday for stabbing a rival in what prosecutors said was a brutal attempt to take over the starter’s role.
“Clearly, this was deliberate to hurt […]
