We’ve already established how highly Eric Mangini thinks of himself and how he really hasn’t earned the right to be as big of a prick as he is (not that anyone should but Belichick, Parcells at least have earned it). Not only is he secretive with the media regarding personnel...

After a second disappointing loss to start the season for Colorado last week, we wrote a fictitious, humorous post suggesting Colorado didn’t allow their coach on the team plane back to Boulder. While that was just a sarcastic post, the notion was representative of the attitude...

If you haven’t seen Ichiro’s miracle blast against Mariano Rivera from Friday night, do yourself a favor and watch it now because it was awesome. The Mariners were down 2-1 in the 9th against the Yankees and Rivera had struck out the first two batters he faced. Mike Sweeney...

Winston Venable was already having a big game Friday night when he broke out with an unbelievable, highlight reel, must-see hit. Honestly, I’ve never seen something like this outside of the movies, and really I just mean Adam Sandler in The Waterboy. Check out this incredible...
Audio: Rex Ryan’s Voicemail to Jets Fans Prior to Patriots Game

The Jets looked mighty strong against the Texans in week one. Their defense actually didn’t allow any points considering the only Houston score came on a pick six by Mark Sanchez. Based on the way they looked and the way the Patriots looked against the Bills, the Jets might not...

The word “fan” is short for a word we often forget — fanatic. That term is more appropriate for the people who vandalized Leodis McKelvin’s lawn following the Bills’ loss on Monday night to the Patriots. Yes McKelvin made a HUGE error when he fumbled the...

First the tuck rule, now the “must have possession when hitting the ground” rule? It seems like the NFL is trying to screw the Raiders over every time they have a chance. With the game tied at 7 in the second quarter, JaMarcus Russell hit Louis Murphy with a 19 yard pass over [...]

Roger Federer has provided two youtubeable moments in the past two days. First he had an incredible between the legs shot to help him beat Novak Djokovic in the semis. Then on Monday he dropped a few cuss words on the chair umpire during his match against Juan Martin del Potro. When [...]
Roger Federer: That’s the Greatest Shot I Ever Hit in My Life

Usually when guys make the between the legs shot, they’re just doing it for show to mess around because they can’t get to the ball. When Roger did it, he did it to produce a passing shot that was better than what he could have done with a forehand. The ball went crosscourt [...]

Georgia’s quarterback is a senior named Joe Cox. South Carolina’s nickname is the Gamecocks. Put the two in a bottle, shake it up, mix it around, add a creative yet brazen fan, and you get the following funny poster:

Of all ways to lose, this has to be particularly hurtful for the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s not as if they were dominating the game — neither team was. But after finally putting together a good drive at the end of the game, the Bengals saw their efforts get wasted on one of the [...]

Guess Gruden was right in that Monday Night Football commercial, huh? Adrian Peterson took advantage of a weak Cleveland Browns defense Sunday, turning Week One into a personal talent showcase. He ran for not one, not two, but three touchdowns in the opener, the last of which was quite...
Don’t Bother USC Coach Jeremy Bates When He’s Talking Strategy

Some TV crews are so intrusive they actually cross the line from informative to invasive. What ESPN’s cameras did at the end of the USC/Ohio State game definitely falls into that category. USC was looking to finish off their drive with about a minute left and they were talking...
The Seat Just Got Hotter for Charlie Weis, Cooler for Rich Rodriguez

Hard to believe after the way I ripped Rich Rodriguez that I had to root for him to win on Saturday, but that was the case. People are saying the game was an instant classic and it surely was a good one, but was it as good as the Bush Push game? Not [...]

The ending to the Serena Williams/Kim Clijsters match at the U.S. Open Saturday night was certainly a strange one. Down 5-6 and 15-30 in the second set, Serena faulted and then was called for a foot fault on her second serve. The foot fault gave Clijsters the point, making it 15-40 and double [...]

While most people were watching the opening of the NFL season Thursday night between the Steelers and Titans, there was also a college football game going on between Georgia Tech and Clemson. Since the college game started an hour earlier than the pro one, I’m guessing most people...

Before Troy Polamalu headed to the locker room with a knee injury, the victim of the Madden Curse, he showed off a few of the skills that make him a Pro Bowler. Not only did he surge the backfield like a missile to tackle Chris Johnson for a loss early in the game, but [...]

You hear and read about a lot of groaning from fans and media members when coaches are tight wods about answering questions or letting people watch practices. It’s pretty simple — you’re denying access to people whose jobs are to cover the teams and likewise fans...

When this story first came down Sunday morning, we gave Shawne Merriman the edge when it came down to whose side to believe between him and Tila Tequila. Sure Shawne’s a roider but Tila’s a grade-A attention ***** who also happened to be drunk. That’s a nightmarish...
