#72 Boston College: College football 77 in 77
You mean the people of Boston aren’t busy looking ahead to Boston College football right now?
The sports fans in Boston have something better to keep them occupied?
With the murder investigation linked to Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez, the Bruins leading the NHL Stanley Cup Final 2-1 (game 4 tonight) and the Red Sox having their dysfunctionally obsessed fanbase (my home town has...
Blackhawks celebration videos in Chicago streets: MEATHEAD style
The Chicago Blackhawks are down 2-1 to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final, with a chance to tie the series tonight. Whether they do or don’t, there will be a very ridiculous overreaction by the people of Chicago and Blackhawks fans. Today, is a good day to flash back to this video I shot right after the Blackhawks captured the Cup in 2010.
It is MEATHEAD at certain points...
Patriots Aaron Hernandez implicated in murder case
New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is being investigated in a North Attleborough, Massachusetts murder mystery. Although Aaron Hernandez is not being regarded as a suspect in the case, his home was searched, a vehicle implicated in the murder was rented to Hernandez, and the body was found about a mile from his house.
Hernandez, who has earned NFL Pro Bowl honors, is...
Tim Donaghy describes how the NBA allegedly fixes games (exclusive)
You remember Tim Donaghy? I had a very in-depth exclusive with him in 2011. Time to rerun some of the highlights today as it’s NBA Finals time once again. In the third and final installment of my exclusive with ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy we discussed the issues you really want know about, is the NBA fixed? A lot of people thought last night’s game between the Spurs and Heat was...
Steak Shapiro, insulter of Steve Gleason, explains himself to Brooke Baldwin (video)
From Brooke Baldwin/CNN Newsroom: Steak Shapiro, one of the fired morning show hosts of Atlanta sports radio station 790 the Zone spoke with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin about his firing.
Yes, Steak Shapiro is an actual person, not the name of a specially prepared dinner entree. He did acknowledge the poor taste of his joke mocking former New Orleans Saint player Steve Gleason, who has...
Lebron James just inspires conspiracy theorists, and hate
The choice: game six of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Sacramento Kings and L.A. Lakers or this game tonight, game six of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs; which is the bigger conspiracy theory contest? Discuss…
Now, I’m not taking a side either way. I’ll let the “NBA is fixed” people make their case, but I’m not going to agree...
#73 Syracuse Orange: College football 77 in 77
Sometimes the Syracuse Orange don’t make the cut for the college football 77 in 77. There’s a whole lot of ACC in the 70s and 60s ranked teams; and a ton of basketball schools. Syracuse is usually down here in the dregs with Duke, Kentucky, Boston College, Indiana, Virgina, every season. It’s b-ball schools and ACC; or both.
And that’s a shame because the Syracuse Orange...
South Carolina Gamecocks land recruit due to LOW academic standards
Just when you thought the academic standards for SEC football players couldn’t get any lower. (believe me they’re in the Mariana Trench right now) The Steve Spurrier led South Carolina Gamecocks usher in a new low. Or at least this new blue-chip Gamecocks recruit is…not so much for intellectualism and studying. And he said something very unintelligent to the press. Arden Key...
Chicago Blackhawks Playoffs Most Wanted
The Chicago Blackhawks have had their hands full through three games against the Boston Bruins. While the series is not over, it is safe to say that game four is a must-win for Chicago. In 25 series that have been tied after two games, the team that won game three has gone on to win 21 of them. That is a pretty telling stat, but not a forgone conclusion.
What/who has been to blame...
NASCAR Nationwide leader raises money for Jason Leffler’s son
Yesterday, NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers Travis Pastrana and Regan Smith passed out ice cream downtown in anticipation of Chicagoland Speedway’s Rally, Rock & Race weekend of NASCAR Nationwide racing.
Smith and Pastrana raised over $600 throughout the day, with Chicagoland Speedway’s R.A.C.E. Foundation making an additional donation, the total charitable contribution was...
Former Detroit Pistons hostess Erin Nicole: rumors
You haven’t heard of former Detroit Pistons in-arena hostess Erin Nicole yet, but I guarantee you won’t forget the name after seeing this post today. The singer, actress, spokesmodel continues the tradition of hot girls named Erin (Andrews, Sharoni, Hawksworth etc.) in sports media, and models becoming “journalists.”
Erin Nicole today works as a traffic and entertainment...
Jay Cutler Wedding Article: Dumbest. Thing. Ever
Obviously, I’m someone who enjoys reading news about Jay Cutler; and often writing about Jay Cutler. So when my girlfriend handed me an US Weekly with “Kristin Cavallari Country Wedding” featured in the top corner on the cover I wanted to take a look. I skipped past all the fashion crapola and straight to what I thought would be a 2-3 page article about the details of the Jay...
Chicago Blackhawks claim they’re losing money?? Huh??
When I hear the Chicago Blackhawks complain about how they’re losing money still it makes little sense to me. It makes as much sense as when Pro Football Weekly claimed the reason they went under is the NFL lockout. One NFL preseason game and OTAs was missed; that’s it. The NFL lockout occurred during the time of the year when no one cares about football anyway, yet it killed...
Kate Bolduan becomes youngest major anchor
Kate Bolduan (pronounced ‘Baldwin’) made history this morning by becoming the youngest news anchor on a major network at 29 years of age by being named to co-host CNN’s new morning news show, ‘New Day’. CNN, however, is banking on this being more than a mere publicity stunt.
Kate Bolduan, a native of Goshen, Indiana (same hometown as former Notre Dame and Chicago Bears...
#74 Wake Forest Demon Deacons: College football 77 in 77
Sometimes the Wake Forest Demon Deacons don’t make the cut for the college football 77 in 77. There’s a whole lot of ACC in the 70s and 60s ranked teams; and a ton of basketball schools. Wake Forest is usually down here in the dregs with Duke, Kentucky, Boston College, Indiana, Virgina, every season. It’s b-ball schools and ACC; or both.
And Wake Forest Coach Jim Grobe has...
Illini land Oklahoma State QB Wes Lunt
The Illini had some serious issues at quarterback last year. To quote Spandau Ballett: “I know this much is true.” They also had some issues on the O Line, and in the receiving corps and the running backs and the…Let’s move on. Ex Oklahoma State quarterback Wes Lunt, a Rochester Illinois native, is coming home, according to multiple reports.
Lunt could be a good fit for...
Miss Utah Marissa Powell dumb, but not Miss Carolina dumb (video)
Miss Utah Marissa Powell is the latest pageant winner to show was happens when you combine the dangerous mixture of intellectually challenged women and extreme micro-managed public relations. Beauty contestants aren’t the brightest bunch, and they’re expecting to over manipulate every public statement as if they’re the Machiavellian of politicians.
Marissa Powell was asked...

Web’s best Chris Bosh resembles a dinosaur memes
I tweeted last night a few hours before NBA Finals game 5: “Look for Miami Heat Forward and Struthiomimus Chris Bosh to have another big game tonight. He was coming off a 20-13 in game 4 as Bosh and the Heat bounced back with a bang. Chris Bosh put up a 16-6 as the Heat lost rather convincingly.
Now the Spurs have the Heat on the verge of extinction. Ever since Chris Bosh was...
Danica Patrick finishes in the top 15 for a change
Danica Patrick finally finished a race in a spot not in the high 20s or 30s for a change. She finished a respectable 13th in the Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.
Danica Patrick, driver of the GoDaddy Chevrolet SS scored just her third top-15 finish of 2013. Remember, Patrick finished eighth in February in the season-opening...
Danny Green now greatest NBA Finals 3 point shooter ever
If the San Antonio Spurs win the NBA Finals, then forward Danny Green should be your NBA Finals MVP.
Green has been a hero for the Spurs this NBA Finals, and with it he’s becoming America’s Sweetheart. Danny Green was 6-for-10 from the 3-point line — setting an NBA Finals record for most 3-pointers in a series (25) — and he scored 24 points to put the Spurs a win away from...
Miami Heat still can’t win consecutively, 5-6 in last 11
The Miami Heat failed to win consecutive games yet again. The Heat must now win consecutive games to defend their NBA title. But they haven’t won back to back since the closeout Game 5 of the Chicago Bulls series and Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers. That win actually closed out a five-game postseason winning streak, but the Miami Heat are 5-6 since then.
“It just snowballed...
Boston Bruins Media hotties: Top 5 Eye Candy in NESN History
NESN smoke show reporters are exactly like Denver Broncos tailbacks. It doesn’t matter who leaves, they’ll just find another and keep plugging ‘em in; and the results will always be there. No, it’s not very professional or mature of me to use the term “smoke show” to describe someone else working in my industry. However, have you met NESN (New England Sports Network)...
#75 Ohio Bobcats: College football 77 in 77
Whatever distracts you from the terrible college football season on the way…that’s what we’re here for with the first few teams of the 77 in 77 series. Actually, we don’t. Not at all. We’re here to preview your horrible season Ohio Bobcats fans. Just 76 more days till the Ohio Bobcats season kicks off. Ohio U. has made some funny news in recent years. Not news, but Fark...
Guest Blog Pitch Letter All-Stars: Borat wants to blog
You should see some of the guest blog pitch emails I get. The English is so terrible that I just imagine Borat writing them to me. “I am TVs journalist from Kazakhstan. I want to make reportings with you!”
Because you know it’s not like English is an important subject or anything for a website that’s written entirely in English.
Yesterday I found out about this:
This is...
