One word among all others best suits Dusty Dvoracek: rehabilitation.

Okay, not really. But I couldn’t let this humdingah pass me by. Dr. Lou has come out and said that Notre Dame will be in the BCS national title game, but because they have a really easy schedule, not because they’re really the first or second-best team. And I tend to agree...

Before I get started, congratulations to Phillips’ sister and baby-daddy (I kid, I kid) Eric on the birth of their daughter. I don’t get to do my Luca Brasi impression until her wedding, I guess, but in any case congratulations to everyone.

On Thursday, we learned that Memphis’ 2007-08 season never actually happened as the NCAA stripped away all of the program’s 38 wins due to the fact that Derrick Rose was not eligible to play in any of those games — including the Tigers’ appearance in the national...

I mean sure, the 100 meters world record is what gets you the title of “world’s fastest man,” but the 200 meters is real GD speed, and this video, friends, is as real as it gets. I bet he’s on steroids. That’s right, I said it. Now put me on ESPN with...

Shocking as it may sound, there are actually several sources claiming that Brodie Croyle may be breathing down Matt Cassel’s neck for the starting quarterback job in Kansas City.

Aside from Carson Palmer’s emergence as the best deadpan comedian since Mitch Hedberg, my favorite person from this season of Hard Knocks on HBO is rookie fullback Chris Pressley. But before I talk about him too much, watch this video of him squatting 610 pounds several times...

It’s an old fan cliche to say that one is better than the current quarterback of one’s favorite college or pro team. Most of the time it’s sarcastic or simply said out of frustration, but in the case of the Syracuse Orange, it might actually have been true until...
Brett Favre … Do I Really Need to Say Anything Else?

Let me be clear: Brett Favre is the single most important athlete of my childhood.
Unlike everybody else on this blog — including those poor, sad Bears fans — I grew up a cheesehead-wearing, Favre-worshipping Packers fan. During my youth he won three MVP awards and went...

1. I hate Brett Favre. I used to have an adversarial respect for him, being a Bears fan and all, but now this is just getting ridiculous. Talk about an attention *****. Oh, and Jay Glazer just bodyslammed the ESPN weasel trio of Schefter-Mortensen-Clayton at the same time, by not...

The college football season is fast approaching. And for me that means just one thing. Scouting for next year’s NFL Draft. I mean, my alma mater (Indiana) blows and the sport is illegitimate anyways - at least it will remain that way until a playoff system is adopted.

It finally happened. Tiger Woods blew a lead after 54 holes at a major for the first time in his career. He failed, he folded, he fell apart, and like everything else he does, Tiger did it spectacularly. To put it another way: Tiger Woods pulled a Phil Mickelson.
