Yes, you need to watch Friday Night Lights. And vote in the Culture Bracket!
In a stunning report, there’s a chance Brett Favre could return with another team. (LA Times)
This will, unquestionably, be the 2nd funniest story you see all day (after the masturbating Penn State baller). Tom Henke’s Army is strong. (Joe Sports Fan)
Husband catches wife in bed with a student, threatens to kill her. (Daily Herald)
The many different baseball fans. (Riding the Bird)
Jim Larranaga says no to the Big East, stays in the CAA. (George Mason Basketball)
Rudy Seanez signs with the Phillies, puts MMA career on hold. (Morning Call)
Google is in trouble! Ha. Right. (Business Week)
The Detroit Tigers are the only good economic news in Michigan. (M Live)
JJ Putz heads to the DL, so everyone scurry to acquire Miguel Batista or Mark Lowe for your fantasy lineup. (USS Mariner)
Yes, we wish we went to DeShawn Stevenson’s birthday party. (DC Sports Bog)
No more Houston Chronicle for those who live in Austin. (Austin Sports Report)
Someone mistakes A-Bomb nickname for an actual bomb, panic ensues. (Tallahassee Democrat)
Solid work here by Mosley, except the part about “until Romo wins a playoff game” – uh, Brady’s won a few of those, and people consistently write about him and Gisele. (Hashmarks)

Mark Lowe.

Damn Lyla is fine.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
I wonder who the sources are for this latimes story.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
As a George Mason alum, great news about Larranaga. I was worried as Providence is his alma mater, but Mason stepped up to the plate. Plus he is a legend around here anyway.
Crap, I was going to hold on to Putz, I should release him? I released him last year because I didn’t even know who he was and then he was great. For those that don’t care to hear about people’s fantasy teams please ignore.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
btw, Gilbert’s costume is hilarious from Stevenson’s birthday party. lol
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
If Favre came back, ESPN would treat it like it was The Resurrection- ‘The Lord has returned to save us from Evil!’.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
So, no more hometown Astros, Rockets or Texans coverage for you Houstonians out ther living in the Capitol City. To be clear, you won’t be getting this Sunday’s paper.
Gee, if there was only a way that they could get information about Houston teams outside of the newspaper!
Please, God, tell me the Brett Favre story was released on April 1. This NFL offseason stuff has gone ten miles past “soap opera.” I’m an NFL junkie–I can’t get enough NFL, this Matt Leinart/Brett Favre/Pacman Jones/Chad Johnson/Tony Romo stuff is really starting to turn me off on the sport.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
It’s alright, CBH – as a Friar alum, we’re still holding out hope for either Pitino, Barnes, or Donovan to come back.

SpartanFan, Favre is so last week in ESPN’s eyes. They have moved on to Tyler Hansbrough to save the sports world now.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Damn are these teachers not getting any at home?
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Just as soon as Bill Self, Tubby Smith, or Nolan Richardson go back to Tulsa.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:21 pm
That teacher story is like the perfect fantasy for any 16-year-old boy (see “Dawson’s Creek”). Why do people always cheat in their own homes? Damn, get a room.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:23 pm
i heard that Favre and Buzz Cook wanted him traded to the Falcon’s so Favre could end his career where it started and it was closer to his home. But i heard it from a Bear’s fan. WTF do they know? Plus, it was a day after Favre retired and i think he was trying to kick me while I was down.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:26 pm
I know a lot of people say it, but where in the hell were these teachers when I was in high school. There was exactly one attractive teacher in my entire education, a late 20s English teacher when I was a senior in high school. Even with her though, it would’ve been a hate fuck because she was a super bitch. Every other teacher was old, fat, ugly, or some combination of all three.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:27 pm
I think some of these teachers are effing their students just to get into the Round-up.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Speaking of A-Bombs, I wonder if the Yankees announcer goes “It’s an AAAAAA-Bommmmb froommmm AAAAA-Roodddd” when he hits HRs off Japanese pitchers?
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
A couple of my friends were nailing their english teacher until one of them stole her laptop. She wasn’t married and hada nice rack.

jb49ers: Group sex action? Sweet!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:29 pm
@jb- why ruin a good thing
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:30 pm
A guy I went to high school with actually married one of our teachers. And neither of them were that good looking. I guess some people take what they can get, no matter how old you are.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:33 pm
my buddy was banging this lady, whom we all thought was 25, and her husband came home and went after him with a bat. She was 34 and separated, but the husband was not happy. he didn’t have his car, so he had to sit in her car til she came out to give him a ride home. It’s absolutely a fantastic story.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
That’s what I said. Getting ass and an A in the class for just showing up they were stupid.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
@benji – Only in Wisconsin….
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Beasley goes in a bar, sits at a table, buys a drink or two and holds polite conversation with one or two select women. Tyler wears the biggest, friendliest smile at all times, talks to everyone in the bar, drinks until he’s bubbly and might smoke a cigarette or two. Beasley will close a deal by midnight and leave no later than 1 a.m. with an absolute superstar. Tyler will leave at closing time with a 40-year-old divorcee and the 25-year-old waitress who served him drinks all night.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:41 pm
benji, that is priceless. Tell me that happened in wisconsin. Being from Wisconsin, it seems like I read about shit like that all the time, at least now that I don’t live there anymore.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I was the one months ago claiming Google isn’t hot shit, and I stand by that. They have value, just not nearly what it’s trading at right now.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
yeah, it happened in WI. but what’s with the WI hatefest? this isn’t exactly the deep south up here!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:46 pm
i didn’t even recognize Minka Kelly. TBL, great pic.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:48 pm
benji…everywhere is the deep south somewhere.
if that makes any sense.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:48 pm
@ Jay– Did you go to high school with Rangers prospect Jarrod Saltalamacchia?
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:49 pm
no hate here, but having grown up in wisconsin and now living in the south, I have seen both sides of the line, and the similarities are quite surprising.

Friday Night Lights has been canceled again.
/End threadjack
(Couldn’t resist. I’m in the camp who finds it wildly overrated. Like “Lost”.)
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:52 pm
arkbadger, where in WI did you grow up?
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Put this one in the win column for the Phightin Phils!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/walkoff walk
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Thank your Phils for me Gonzo, I didn’t want to deal with mass hysteria in DC because the Nats were 4-0
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
La Crosse. Graduated in ‘95. Couldn’t get out fast enough. It’s a nice place to visit, but couldn’t live there.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Just teasin benji!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:37 pm
CBH, the Phils were down 6-1 in this game. They fought back and put the Nats in their place.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:08 pm
This Favre shit was the top story on Sportscenter. Unfounded NFL rumors (which Mort also said were bullshit) over baseball, Final Four, and the Western Conference.
The life is sucked out of sports a little more
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 pm
I cannot handle another round of Favre “stories.” I swear The Retirement was treated like a national mourning more befitting a President.
Hell, Ronald Reagan didn’t get THIS kind of send-off. And he wasn’t talking about a possible comeback as the new Russian Premier!
