The Detroit Lions Rise from the Ashes
The Lions fired their president and CEO Matt Millen on September 24th 2008. Millen joined the organization in 2001 to bring change and make Detroit a winning football franchise. He clearly was better suited to do broadcasting then to run a football franchise considering he only produced 31 victories during his tenure with the Lions. Millen brought controversy and problems throughout...

Ducks Cheerleaders, SportsCenter’s Neil Everett Lead Oregon Rose Bowl Pep Rally
Have you ever been to a college football bowl game pep rally? It’s the most proper of propaganda for the institution of higher learning; and football. Everyone should attend at least one in their lives- but not your alma mater. A school you have no connection to will give you proper perspective and objectivity.
Or go to an Oregon Ducks BCS Bowl pep rally, because they have...

Stafford looks like Ty Detmer
People are joking that Matthew Stafford has turned into Joey Harrington. He is even being called Joey Stafford.
I will take it a step further. He is now Ty Detmer. Do you remember who he is? That was the guy who threw seven interceptions in 2001 and could not figure out why it

If I hear one more person tell me how good head coach Bret Bielema is…I will lose my mind. Maybe I already have, because now it’s just comical. Time after time, year after year the Badgers head coach seems to make the wrong call at the wrong time in Wisconsin’s season. Since the departure of Barry Alvarez, his predecessor Bielema has squandered every opportunity...

Funny or Die presents: Millenball
Sometimes a man's passion and innovative new approach is so inspiring that his tale must be told on the big screen.
And sometimes, there's another man who so thoroughly and laughably wrecked a franchise that his tale must be told in a parody of the critically-acclaimed movie about the first man.

With the exception of Harrington, they all earned their shots, with successful relief perforamces after the starting...
