2010 Culture Tournament Final: Brooklyn Decker vs. Conan O’Brien

Posted March 29, 2010, 3:30 pm by Jason McIntyre (160 Comments)

Both Tiger Woods entries lost in the Final Four, setting up a title match between 14th seeded Brooklyn Decker and 2nd seeded Conan O’Brien. Who knew Conan had this rabid a fan base? (Or perhaps, Conan is like Michigan State, and got a lucky road because everyone else got knocked off.) Voting will stay open [...]

2010 MLB “Preview”: AL East

Posted March 29, 2010, 12:45 pm by Jason McIntyre (156 Comments)

In 2008, our predictions were on point. In 2009, not so much. 1. Yankees – Ninety-five wins, another AL East crown, and the guess here is an MVP for Mark Teixeira. Outstanding starting depth, great bullpen, sick lineup, where’s the weakness? If you want to argue the outfield isn’t elite and Brett Gardner is nothing [...]

The confrontation was over a blog post Fowler wrote about how Tim Tebow isn’t a good quarterback. I may have over-generalized that final detail, but then again, that’s what got Fowler in trouble in the first place. Anyway, [...]

Culture Tournament Final Four: Tiger Woods, Conan O’Brien and Brooklyn Decker

Posted March 26, 2010, 11:51 am by Jason McIntyre (56 Comments)

The Elite 8 yesterday felt more like Kentucky and Cornell than Kansas State and Xavier. Woefully underseeded Brooklyn Decker walloped skier Julia Mancuso. There’s no way Decker isn’t the heavy favorite to win the title. Conan O’Brien has many more fans than we thought. Tiger’s inclusions need no explanation. Voting will remain open through Sunday, [...]

Monday, Brooklyn Decker edged out the 2008 champ, Erin Andrews. We’re down to eight. Voting will be open for 24 hours and we’ll do [...]

Urban Meyer verbally undressed Orlando Sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler at practice yesterday, saying, “You’re a bad guy, man. You’re a bad guy. If that was my son we’d be going at it right now.” Meyer claimed Fowler took a quote from a player out of context, and as the story went national, former Gators’ QB [...]
