Does Charlie Daniels scare the shit out of French guys acting like cowboys (note him hiding behind the cactus)? I’m pretty sure the NIT found this as a way to finally generate some interest; perhaps all they need is an official name change to the “Nad Impact Tournament.” Tuesday night was a real nut-buster jamboree,… Read More Ask The Geico Guy: Does America Love Groin Injuries?
Out of the clear blue sky, the Washington Nationals unconditionally released Elijah Dukes today. Dukes was slated to be the teams starting right fielder, but now he is no longer welcome in D.C.

Rankings By Division: American League: AL East: 1) New York Yankees Upside: The Bombers easily could have turned on the money-hose and flooded out free-agents like Jason Bay or Matt Holliday, or they could have wasted some serious dough by resigning an over-valued Johnny Damon. But, instead of having their usual explosive cash-gasm, they realized their in-house options are… Read More The 2010 Dubsism Major League Baseball Pre-Season Rankings
The first round of the mayhem known as the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) is a best-of-three series, but some teams didn’t get the memo, deciding instead to require a bit of extra hockey on Friday night.

In the ongoing trial involving Minnesota Vikings’ defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams and the weight-loss supplement StarCaps, the core question at hand is whether the NFL violated Minnesota law by suspending the two players. Granted, this case is no different from most legal cases as it involves some complexities that aren’t immediately apparent. One of the witnesses… Read More The Favre-gasm Is Now A Matter of Public Record
If you are a sports junkie like me, you listen to a lot of sports radio and get even more fixes from many forms of sports media. For the past week, all that media has been dominated by the exploits of Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Even if you aren’t a sports junkie, you’ve had to… Read More Why Hasn’t Ben Roethlisberger Been Executed Yet?
For all of you who, like myself, despise the New York Yankees, feast your long-suffering eyes on this: That’s right…that’s the grandstand of the old Yankee Stadium being turned into so much rubble. The stadium where the hopes and dreams of so many non-Yankee teams have died a slow, painful death can now watch the… Read More Porn Only Wishes It Could Excite You As Much As This Does
Well, I was right. If you are a blogger and you post something complimentary of ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, your inbox will become a repository of white-hot, flaming diatribes about the man’s alleged douchbaggery. Look, all I’m saying is that when the guy is right, he’s right. I’m certainly not saying he sometimes isn’t a monstrous… Read More Your Colin Cowherd Moment of the Day
Remember this woman? It’s perfectly understandable if you don’t, as it is an open secret that Americans only pretend to care about the Olympics every four years. It is also possible that you may recall her looking more like this: If you still don’t know, that’s disgraced Olympic trackster Marion Jones moments before she was stripped of… Read More WNBA To Be More Like NBA By Recruiting Felons
I’ve always liked Jim Sorgi, ever since his days quarterbacking the Wisconsin Badgers. Having lived in Minnesota and therefore having had to live with the insufferable Minnesota football fans, I appreciated anybody that used Paul Bunyan’s Axe to consistently cut the balls off Goldy Gopher. But the poor guy just can’t get away from America’s… Read More Jim Sorgi Just Can’t Get Out From Behind a Manning
If the calls for the head of Ben Roethlisberger when he has yet to be charged with ANYTHING weren’t bad enough…if the the phony hand-wringing over Michael Vick’s dog-fighting when nobody, repeat nobody, gave a frog’s fat ass about Ray Lewis being involved in a murder and Rae Carruth killing his girlfriend just because he didn’t want… Read More More Evidence of the Hypocrisy of NFL Fans
They may likely take my blogger’s card away for this, but I like ESPN’s Colin Cowherd. Sure, I know he hates bloggers, yet occasionally cribs their bits, but he is also on of the few people at the World Wide Leader who says things that are undeniably true. Yesterday on SportsNation, during a discussion of the… Read More Why I Like Colin Cowherd
Sadly, the run that Joe Nathan has enjoyed as an All-Star closer for the Minnesota Twins may be over. After leaving Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox with stiffness in his pitching elbow, Nathan has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Normally, such an injury requires reconstructive surgery, but there are a… Read More Vaya Con Dios, Joe Nathan
It’s time once again for the Battle for the Broadmoor Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Western College Hockey Association (WCHA) tournament. Because college hockey is a decidedly regional sport, the WCHA may be the best sports league you’ve never heard of.

What do you picture when you think of a world-class athlete? Just because a guy has a beer-gut doesn’t mean he isn’t an athlete. In fact, the guy who is a bit bigger around the middle than he should be might just be able to totally kick your ass. There is almost no better place… Read More Behold the Power of Fat Guys
We live in America; a country where nearly 4 out of 10 high-school graduates could tell you anything lucid about The Civil War, and even less can find any given state on a map. Worse yet, some of them can’t even find the map. Given such a dismal state of geographic knowledge, it’s time for… Read More The Battle of the Dakotas
As if you didn’t know…as if you haven’t read this story before. Brett Favre can’t make up his mind. In other news, the sun will rise in the east, the ocean is wet, and Minnesota Viking fans are suckers. Without going into a great amount of detail, Favre is dooming the future of this franchise. The… Read More BREAKING NEWS: Favre Suddenly Indecisive
There are a lot of things in this country that started with a valid need for them to exist, then they outgrew their usefulness and transmogrified into some sort of horrible, Bizzaro-world mutation. The labor unions that kept workers from being mangled in a sausage grinder now ensure a non-skilled laborer gets 43 bucks an… Read More Open Letter to the American Sports Media: Enough with the Sanctimony Already
