I just saw my first Usain Bolt > Michael Phelps headline. Are we so bereft of original thought as a blogosphere and a society, and so slavishly devoted to faux controversy that we can't do better than this? Usain Bolt is a thunderclap, a freakishly talented athlete who will lik......

Now that we're a couple days past the magic, we can sit back and try to gauge the magnificence of the performance - the raw power, the dominance over the competition, the ability to step up and bring the goods. Yes folks, we are here to praise Liu "Muscles" Chunhong for her ballsy gold medal win......

I always get a kick out of these Comedy Central Roasts they periodically do, and I apparently missed the Bob Saget Roast Sunday night (I can't imagine having to look too hard for a re-air)...but I'm hoping it had something even 1/10th as good as this (and shocker of all shockers...this is not a ......

My apologies for using possibly college football's lamest chant as a title to this post. I honestly couldn't think of anything else.

When I told Rob I'd do a column on the Olympic Men's Basketball competition, I quickly decided it would have to be two columns. One column would deal with Team USA and the other column would handle the rest of the contending countries in the competition. Because, for better or worse, that's what......

Evidently every member of the G:TB staff is busy today with various forms of work, or in Whitney's case just not answering their phone because they're bidding on a mint condition vinyl copy of Sandinista! I mean, why else would our midget overlord send m......

I was out yesterday, or else you would've been treated to this final G:TB "tribute" to Isaac Hayes, who sadly passed away Sunday. And by "tribute" I of course mean this minimal amount of prose and an appropriate YouTube clip. There are many to choose from in Isaac's case, but I've always been p......
