Devin Hester’s Pimp Ride

Uncategorized 26 Comments »

devinhester

According to a reader with a great camera, this is Devin Hester, return man extraordinaire of the Chicago Bears. The picture was taken at a Shell Gas Station in Lake Forest, Illinois, presumably this past weekend. Hester’s ride looks like something out of an old school Dr. Dre video. We like.

College Football Top 10

Uncategorized 28 Comments »

Taking a new approach to our Top 10 this season. Basically, we’re not taking an approach at all. So in that way, we’re like an AP voter! Couple new entries into the Top 10 this week, and we bid adios to idle Rutgers and overrated Penn State. LSU leapfrogs USC for No. 1 because it now has two victories over ranked teams (even though both are at home). Still not believers in Oklahoma, despite some ridiculous point totals. While we love us some West Virginia offense, we’re extremely jittery thinking about these guys on the road against South Florida Friday.

Mike Patrick’s Zeitgeist Moment

Uncategorized 7 Comments »

We already linked to that bizarre Mike Patrick moment Saturday night when, before a crucial overtime play, he elected to bring up Britney Spears. Random and funny.

Mike Patrick has important things on his mind (Awful Announcing)

Other cool stuff we’re going to cram in here: Daniel Snyder bashes the media (big surprise!), Mascot madness, Monica Bellucci topless , and a dude getting undressed in like seven seconds (safe for work and not gay at all).

Buying Your Girl a $100k Benz

Uncategorized 9 Comments »

Mike Comrie signed with the Islanders this summer for $3.375 million. A good chunk of change for a guy the general public had never heard of prior to his romancing of Hilary Duff this summer. After he pays the lawyer and the agent, and money comes out for taxes, he’s probably pocketing in the neighborhood of $2 million. So should we be surprised that he just bought his girlfriend of a few months a Merecedes that cost over $100,000? Perhaps. At this rate, they’ll be married on New Year’s Eve, and she’ll be pregnant by Valentine’s Day.

Debut: Heisman Leaderboard

Uncategorized 24 Comments »

Instead of just anointing a leader for the Heisman Trophy out of the gate, we figured four weeks would be enough time for players to distinguish themselves. Everybody’s preseason favorite, Darren McFadden of Arkansas, has been good, but not great, though it doesn’t help that he’s surrounded by ineptitude. While we maintain McFadden is the best player in the nation (if we’re starting a team, he’s our guy), the Heisman traditionally is awarded to the best player on the best team in the country (which is sad but true). This could be the year of the darkhorse though, since LSU and USC don’t have an offensive superstar among them, West Virginia has two who will split the vote, and nobody even knows who plays offense for Oklahoma. Since there’s no clear-cut favorite, expect much change on our leaderboard, maybe even on a weekly basis.

Morning Morning NFL Musings

Uncategorized 46 Comments »

There are always 43 different ways to go on Monday morning when recapping the NFL weekend, but here are our three favorite storylines: the Raiders were gifted some karma from above in defeating the Browns, we had the misfortune of watching the Redskins choke job (TBL2 was at the game and called it a ‘lock’ when it was 17-3), and how can you not have fallen in love with the Cowboys and that wicked offense? A few more musings after the jump.

Ronaldinho Parties Too Hard

Uncategorized 3 Comments »

Ronaldinho is often mentioned as one of the best soccer players in the world, and with such status comes intense media scrutiny. This grainy video appears to be of the curly-haired soccer star partying hard (looks tame to us). The Spanish media (aside: why are all spanish newscasters busty and hot and sultry?) is all over the story because it feels his late-night carousing is affecting his play with FC Barcelona. Just one question - did Ronaldinho yank that shirt out of Cristiano Ronaldo’s closet?

Barcelona is just like compton (You Been Blinded)

Pat White Hearts Erin Andrews

College Football, ESPN 8 Comments »

If you still sweat ESPN’s resident sideline prowler Erin Andrews, then you’ll love this story: Pat White, West Virginia’s quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate, had just completed a dismantling of East Carolina. Andrews and her Mischa Barton arms approached White for a postgame interview. In his words: “When she came up to me,” White said, “I almost fainted.” What’s the reaction if he wins the Heisman? Panic attack?

Get it together, man.

Erin Andrews has that effect on guys (Fanhouse)

Yardwork: The Rockies? Really?

Uncategorized 8 Comments »

New York 7, Florida 6: Billy Wagner blew another save in the ninth, but the Mets were victorious in the 11th on a David Wright single. Their NL East lead is 2.5 over the Phillies, who lost to the Nationals.
Colorado 7, San Diego 3: Despite getting swept by the Rockies - at home, no less - and letting Colorado creep into the playoff hunt, the Padres still lead Philly by half a game in the wild card chase. We really want to try and get to Milton Bradley’s meltdown today, but it may have to wait till Tuesday.
Boston 4, Tampa Bay 5: So is Tim Wakefield close to losing his postseason rotation spot? That’s four losses in a row.
Toronto 5, New York 7: Moose wins his third straight start since getting booted from the rotation. The Yanks can claw within a game of Boston with a win Monday. The Red Sox are idle.
Cleveland 6, Oakland 2: The Indians win the AL Central for the first time in six years when Grady Sizemore goes 4-for-4. The Tribe are half a game ahead of Anaheim for the best record in the AL.

Remember 12 years ago Species came out and Natasha Henstridge was the ish? Haven’t heard much from her since, but now that she apparently has had some work done, maybe people will care again … George Bush thinks Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination … wow, the PTI guys made Page Six … if you still care about Oscar de la Hoya crossdressing, it sounds like some lawyers got to the chick who took them … are you bothered by the moveon.org ad scandal at the NYT? …
