The NFL season is closing in on the halfway point and thankfully that brings an end to Favre’s revenge on the Packers. With both Packers / Vikings games behind us let’s take a look at the big stories from another weekend featuring more blowouts than close games. Seattle Seawhawks 17 Dallas Cowboys 38 Tony Romo’s 3rd straight [...]

Florida and Texas appear to be gathering momentum as they roll through the most difficult portions of their 2009 schedule. Led by Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy, much was expected of the offenses, however, the Longhorns and Gators are making some noise on the defensive side of the ball. On Saturday the Gators held Georgia to [...]

Even though I’m a gay man, I’m not much of a gay activist. I realize that sports, my area of expertise, is probably the most homophobic institution left in America. That’s why when I saw this MTV story idea for their Tru Life documentary/series I thought it would be important to pass it along. MTV is [...]

UPDATE #1 : Per the Advocate, Levi’s Johnson will make it’s debut on PlayGirl.com in December with the magazine due to drop in January. UPDATE #2 : CNN is reporting that at the last minute Levi backed out of showing his penis. Per this report on CNN, he was photographed with objects that were strategically placed to hide his manhood. Not that [...]

The Kansas Jayhawks are #1 in the AP Preseason Top 25 for only the second time in their storied history. With so much talent returning, the big question isn’t whether they will make it to the Final Four but how many Jayhawks will be out for work release in time for the NCAA tournament. During the off [...]

Last night we were witnesses to one of the most memorable and dominant pitching perfomances in World Series history as Cliff Lee threw a complete game six hitter, allowing only one run and striking out ten. It was a performance, on the game’s biggest stage, that legends are made of. With all of the talk about [...]

If you are looking at this World Series to find hotties in action than you’re sure to be disappointed but that shouldn’t take away from what, on paper, appears to be one of the most interesting World Series in some time. The Cinderellas of the past two years, Rockies and Rays, have been a nice story, [...]

How can life possibly get any better for Spurs point guard Tony Parker? Consider this, he’s a star point guard on one of the best teams in NBA history, he’s a three time NBA champion, he’s married to a stunning Hollywood actress, he’s got a nice ass (see below) and he’s a friggin hottie who just [...]

Predicting who’s gonna win a championship before the season starts in any sport is guess work at best. The best you can do is take a look at who’s coming back, factor in the additions and subtractions to the current team and assuming that injuries are constant, use all of this information as a proxy for [...]

So after long hard (two words you’ve gotta love in conjunction with one another) consideration, I’ve decided to rank my top 5 NFL QBs. And it goes a little something like this: Number 5: Eli Manning Even though I’ve starting to have worries about the Giants after their last two performances, I think that Eli has started [...]

Either the SEC is really deep or Florida and Alabama have confused the 2009 college football season with the NCAA basketball tournament. Florida and Alabama seem satisfied with surviving and moving on to the next game versus beating up on the inferior competition as they’ve done in years past. Both struggled but squeaked out wins versus [...]

The NFL reported this week that Cincinnati receiver Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnston was fined $10,000 for wearing the wrong colored chin strap in last week’s game at Houston. They also fined Tennessee safety Chris Hope for roughing New England quarterback Tom Brady. What was the amount of Hope’s fine? The same $10,000 figure the NFL fined Ochocinco [...]

One of the most worthless and over used sports cliches is ‘must-win game’. Over the course of a season the only must win game is when you are facing elimination. So when sports writers and commentators label a mid-season NFL game for a 3-2 team as a ‘must win’ they immediately lose credibility with me. Such [...]

If history teaches us anything it’s that teams facing elimination at home perform well. Even more so when the opposing team knows they are headed back home for two games with a chance to close it out. Angels’ closer Brian Fuentes was shaky in the save situation walking A-Rod, Matsui and then hitting Robinson Cano all [...]

With his team in danger of losing momentum in the American League Championship Series, CC Sabathia took the mound on just three days rest and allowed only one run over eight innings of work. He was simply dominant as the Yankees cruised to a 10-1 victory and a commanding 3-1 series lead. In the top of [...]

With the advent of HDTV and super slow motion replays, fans have grown accustomed to seeing umpires and referees miss calls. When it comes to officiating the old adage ‘no news is good news’ rings true. Yet under the glare of national media attention that comes with the post season where every managerial mistake, error and [...]

The first BCS college football rankings (shown below) are out and humans and computer are in agreement, it’s Florida #1 and Alabama #2. I don’t consider the AP coaches poll cause there’s no accountability built in and a number of coaches don’t actually vote in it. It’s pretty clear that if the Tide and Gators are [...]

Coming into Sundays marquee match up between the NY Giants and New Orleans Saints there were some skeptics of the Saints undefeated start. By the time mid afternoon rolled around the Saints had not only easily dispatched of the Giants and silenced their critics but they took a big step towards solidifying themselves — along with [...]

Uncharacteristically the Los Angeles Angels are blowing it. An organization known for great defense has committed five errors in the their first two games of the ALCS and return to LA facing an 0-2 series deficit. Yet, it’s the mental mistakes that beat them Saturday night. Second baseman’s Macier Izturis throwing error in the bottom of the [...]

A couple of days ago we put together our list of the worst college football uniforms . College football fashionistas — yes, there are some — from across the land bombarded our inbox with nominations for the best uniforms; and while I appreciate the photos of football players, most of the fashion commentary was lost on me. So [...]
