T-Time: Decade of Fail
1 day ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Because a week after Dick Jauron is finally fired by the woeful Buffalo Bills, it's appropriate to look back at a decade that can be characterized in no other way but FAIL. I'm a Browns fan, so I feel your pain Buffalo. It's hard watching games every...
Antonio Gates' Cameo on FX's 'The League'
1 day ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
I'll give it this: The League has been funnier than expected. Thursday night's was pretty strong. It was also the first episode to feature a cameo from an actual NFL player. The FX comedy is available on Hulu, but last night's episode won't be there until...

First Cuts

It'd been a few weeks -- a few pretty busy weeks with injuries and a few significant player moves -- since our last Madden NFL 10 roster update, but thankfully that changes for Week 11. Head over to EA Sports' Madden blog for a full list of the updates. As expected, after a...
Baltimore Colts Cheerleader Uniform

First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: One day, you'll tell your kids about how amazing you were when you were younger. How you took no prisoners, seized every day, walked to school barefoot in the snow, and went on adventures they'd never imagine you doing. One of those adventures might be about...

First Cuts
| Comments
To the best of my knowledge, there is no video of the incident I'm about to detail, but if there is, oh please e-mail me (blogtips[at]sportingnews.com). Marv Albert and rapper 50 Cent both appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday, but the real fun was had backstage. The...
Release Reminder: NCAA Basketball 10
2 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
I neglected to mention this earlier in the week, but NCAA Basketball 10 is in stores now. Of all the games this year from EA, it feels like this one has gotten the least press. It's hard to imagine a world in which a college basketball game doesn't exist, but it doesn'...

First Cuts

WHY YOU NEED IT: Via Uni Watch, check out this amazing lot of 200 sports t-shirts. They range from vaguely dorky ("The Fridge") to kitschy chic ("I'm a blue blooded derrick lovin' boot stompin' Oiler Fan!"). To top it off, the seller is including a...
New York Yankees Cremation Urn

First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Understandably, the death industry causes all kinds of anxiety for people. When a loved one passes, arrangements have to be made, and providing the proper farewell can be expensive. But beyond the cost, what, exactly is a "proper" farewell? For some people...
T-Time: Ali, Zaire, Bomaye
3 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: We've had a strong run of boxing shirts in the last month, mainly because of Pacman, which has made the shirts not only dope, but timely. Well, Mothering Hut is taking us back, back all the way to 1974 and Ali and Foreman's "Rumble in the Jungle."...

File this under "Old, but amusing." In cleaning out my G-Reader, I came across this post from Kotaku, with the video above.

3 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
In this week's episode, Matt Saracen and Tim Riggins go on a multi-state killing spree as expert snipers. (OK, that's not what really happened.) To read about the actual episode, "A Sort of Homecoming," proceed past the jump.
We haven't necessarily gotten...

Pau Gasol on CSI: Miami

First Cuts
| Comments
Judging by the ratings, everyone seems to watch some part of the CSI franchise on CBS. (I don't.) If you're like me and you missed Pau Gasol's brief cameo on the show, there you go. Your life has been changed forever.

T-Time: Pacman "I Am King" Tees
4 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Because Pacman is King of the World right now. And IMKING has partnered with the champ for this special-edition t-shirt that you can wear proudly not just because you're a Pacquiao supporter, or because the design is cool, but because portions of the proceeds...
L.A. Olympics Cycling Sign
4 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Oftentimes, the value of sports memorabilia lies in the story behind it. An autographed John Elway football is nice, but an autographed John Elway football that required you to scale an electric fence, elude several trained attack falcons, and hike three days through...
Golden NCAA Basketball
5 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: There is no reason to own a gold-plated basketball other than to say that you own a gold-plated basketball. It's kind of like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Johnny may have won an epic competition, but what do you even want with a golden fiddle?...
T-Time: Another 'LeBron to New York' Tee
5 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Because everyone has an opinion on where King James is going to land in the Most Important Thing to Happen in July 2010 (can you tell I'm reading the Sports Guy's book right now?) and you should probably have some apparel to back up your opinion. Unfortunately...

T-Time: Space Dunk
8 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: We went to space, kind of, with a Jordan tee the other day. The "One Giant Leap for Mankind" shirt played off one famous dunk, and one of UNDRCRWN's new designs plays off another. And we're going to space again. Moonman is doing this dunk. Not that...

Derek Jeter has lost it all! He's a bum! Fine, it's just for a movie. Here are the details (SPOILER ALERT!):
A down-on-his-luck Derek Jeter was wandering the Coney Island boardwalk on Thursday afternoon, but it was all for show -- the Yankees captain is playing himself in...
30 Rock Skewers Around The Horn
8 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
I have long since tired of Around The Horn. Evidently one of the writers on 30 Rock agrees, given the video above. (This was one of two mentions for the fictional Sports Shout show, but this one with Tracy Morgan was far better than the first.)
Coin Operated Boxing Game
8 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Lots of kids have owned the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, but that's just a cheap little plastic tabletop doohickey. If you want a game with flash, spectacle, and a soundtrack, you need to shell out a bit more.
Behold The Main Event, a coin...

WHY YOU NEED IT: Via NY Mag's Sports Section, US Marshals are auctioning off Bernie Madoff's personalized Mets jacket this Saturday in a New York City hotel.
I'm guessing there will be three types of potential bidders: Collectors who will want to frame the jacket and...
T-Time: One Giant Leap
9 days ago by
First Cuts
| Comments
WHY YOU NEED IT: Neil Armstrong will always have a place in history for his moon landing quote. But isn't there someone more appropriate to apply the quote to? Perhaps someone who soared through the air after lifting off from the ground just by jumping? Capital Brands thinks so...
