To say 2010 was ripe with comedy blending into sports would be an understatement. It was more like the sports world was completely doused with a vat full of unintentional comedy juice. The juice by the way taste remarkably like orange Gatorade.The phrase “you cannot make this up” was never used as much as in 2010. While the Rex Ryan foot fetish controversy proved to be the perfect icing on the

Sunday marks the second biggest holiday of this weekend- Boxing Day.Up until 48 hours ago, I planned on honoring this day by dressing up like the former heavyweight boxer Randall “Tex” Cobb and blocking jabs with my nose. However, it was just brought to my attention that Boxing Day is actually a day to honor our dedicated servants in the postal delivery field.Good thing I learned this before I

As we wrap up the end of the first decade of the 21st century, there is going to be a flood of “Best of the Decade” lists coming out.Because we are always ones to follow a trend rather than lead it, here is our entry into the foray.Here is the top 5 comedy sports TV shows/films of the ‘00s.

This week, the NFLPA took the prudent step of scaring the crap out of its members by telling them to prepare for an owner lockout next year. The owners already have a plan and it’s called “being stinkin’ rich.”But what about us poor slobs aka “the fans.” How do we prepare for the worst case scenario?As a public service to all NFL fans, below are the top ten most helpful tips on how to prepare.

All the talk leading up to tonight's game has been about fighting. The talk has been openly about Andre Johnson's fight and quietly about dog fighting.Now to see a real football fight, check out the brawl between Miami and FIU. Simultaneously one of the most reprehensible and proudest moments of FIU's football history. Proud because it's the only thing anyone around the nation knows them for. "

The top ten things every football fan should be thankful for this Thanksgiving:10. The NFL puts the safety and well being of its players on the top of their priority list, just behind having them play more games and paying them less money.9. Roger Goodell burning all the tapes from the Patriots’ Spygate. This way we fans will not be burdened with the knowledge of what was really videotaped.8.

For each game this week, the NFL has requested that we come up with the one line preview that pops up on TV screens when you hit INFO on your remote.Actually they didn’t technically ask me, but they also did not say not to do it so I take that as being as good as a request. As you can imagine, this kind of logic has gotten me in quite a bit of hot water in several US states and territories.Just

When I judge a NFL coach, I have only one criterion- The quality of his excuse for losing.Our leaders, from sports to politics, always start their concession speeches with “I take full responsibility for…” Then by the next sentence, they are grabbing people by their shirt collars and tossing them right under the proverbial bus.And I respect that. It’s easy to take the blame. I say “I’m sorry”

The NFL is flexing its 42 inch pythons once again. After a weekend of particularly brutal hits that left players concussed and NFL execs with arthritis from all their hand wringing, the league is going to start doling out suspensions for players who commit illegal hits. I blame Rodney Harrison for this. He admitted on Sunday Night Football that fines never concerned him when he was playing. It

This week, we had a bombshell of a news story slap us across the cheek.Allegedly, some aging superstar QB sent an attractive contract employee of an NFL team some lurid and suggestive messages along with photographic evidence that he was, in fact, a man. Storm clouds are brewing as the coverage of this story grows and certain image conscious sport/entertainment networks decide to report on

It’s week 4 of the NFL, also known as “Holy crap, my team sucks!” week for a good portion of the league.For Lions fans, this week happened once the 2010 schedule was announced.I just spent a week in Denver listening to local sports fans bitch and moan over the Broncos ineptness in scoring points, there lack of any hope of a winning season, and the fact their head coach needs to be carded when he

My relationship with the NFL is not unlike a girlfriend to a boyfriend. Yes, I love it. I think it’s wonderful and just perfect the way it is, but….. just like anything you love, you just can’t help but want to change it completely.There have been plenty of outcries for change to the overtime rules or to safety issues or the replay system. I’ll leave those complaints to the people who just want

While playing little league, I once received some sage advice my father. I had just made the last out of the game by striking out with the tying run on third. Down and dejected, my dad patted my head and said “Son, there are no losers. Everyone is a winner for just going out there and giving it their best.”As a solitary tear rolled down my check, I looked up to him and replied “Really?” “No! I’m

Couple this fact with a stunning 6 game losing streak that I am currently under and I am not even going to bet my own prediction for the game.In case you want to go the opposite way, take the Colts and give the 5 points.Instead of the actual game, I am going to instead give you my top prop

I am still licking my considerable wounds after last weekend 0-4 performance with my picks.What make me sick is that I predicted the Chargers game...4 months ago!

There is a lot to cover in sports this week as the NFL season heads down the home stretch, the college bowl season is about to begin, the NFL and NBA are in full swing, MLB trades are happening and…oh my god I just saw that another women has come out saying she slept with Tiger Woods!No. I am not going to get distracted over something as meaningless and private as Tiger Woods’ personal life.

These are two teams going in different directions. Pittsburgh is driving off a cliff and Cleveland is already at the bottom of the cliff.Pittsburgh is in bad shape because:1) The only guy who can tackle on their team is too busy doing Head and Shoulders commercial to play.2) The locker room is full of players bickering over who is healthy enough to play and who is one blow to the head away from

Channel suffering last night found me landing on the NFL Network and a replay of the classic 1994 game between the Dolphins and the Pats. This game was notable since it was Marino return after being out most of the previous season with a blow Achilles tendon. Living in Miami at the time, I missed watching this game but heard some of it on the radio. So it was incredibly cool actually seeing what

Buffalo has one of the best home field advantages in the NFL. Their fans passionately support their team. The raucous crowd gives them a distinct 12th man advantage. The weather in December is their ally as teams crumble under the cold temperature and icy conditions. Add to all this that tonight’s game will be played at night in front of a national viewing audience (or least the tens of people

Bill Belichick was right. Everyone is giving him a hard time about his decision to go for it on 4th and 2 on his own 28 yard line. But I say Belichick was absolutely right to go for it. So what if they ended up blowing a 17-point 4th quarter lead. I know it was the right decision because Bill Belichick is a “genius.” Ever since he led that first Pats team to a Super Bowl victory, everyone on TV

This week’s picks are coming to you from the city of Denver, CO- dubbed Mile High both because of the altitude and the fact they legalized medical marijuana.Denver is a great location to study the phenomenon of “fan schizophrenia.” It’s a malady that affects the fan base of every sport, city and political party.

When did we become so soft?For several years now, there has been an increasing amount of studies and evidence to suggest that football players are susceptible to grave neurological disorders. This might, just might, have something to with the thousands of head crashing collisions they endure through a lifetime of football. The results can leave players in their later years with dementia, severe

You think NFL and NHL players are rough. They got nothing on NCAA Women's soccer players. Actually specifically one player, Elizabeth Lambert of University of New Mexico.Check out this video and tell me she could not fit in the Ravens' linebacking core or be an enforcer for the Calgary Flames.This just in--- The Oakland Raiders just signed her and Tom Cable crapped his pants.

Often on this website and other sports related ones, we poke fun at the errors and mishaps of athletes. Heck, it follows our motto here, “It’s fun to make fun of someone before they make fun of us.” But why limit ourselves to just the players on the field. As was suggested by my friend, deejay. mr. m, the mishaps extend beyond the field and into the booth.So to honor (and exploit) the foibles of

With Jimmy Buffet owning the naming rights for Dolphin Stadium, the marketing department has taken the extra, completely over the top, step of playing his song “Fins” every time the home team scores. This got me thinking, “Why should the Dolphins monopolize the musical genius that is Jimmy Buffet.”So in order to spread the gift of his artistry around, here are some suggestions of Buffet songs

For the month of October, the NFL is taking the very admirable step of recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness month. Goals posts, players’ shoes, towels, etc will be colored pink to recognize the ongoing fight against this terrible disease.This special attention may end up drawing more of a certain small subsection of our society that is currently under represented in the football viewing pool.

Last Sunday, I suffered a crisis of confidence that shook me to my very foundation. It made me question all things I once held true. The roundness of the Earth. The naturalness of Jimmy Johnson’s hair. The true commitment Jon and Kate have for their children.It all unraveled for me as I watched my picks, one after the other, go down in flames. Out of the 14 games on Sunday, I got 12 wrong. It was

It worked out so well last week with Al Davis, I decided to continue seeking outside help with my picks for the week. Instead of limiting myself to the genius of one person, I sought 16 different people I believe have inside information on each of this week’s games.

Special treat this week. I had the great fortune of contacting Oakland Raiders’ owner and puppet master Al Davis. In a very candid interview, he has provided me with his predictions for this week’s game. I will of course adopt all his suggestions as my own because if Al Davis knows one thing, it’s how to pick real “winners” in football.Editor’s Note: We did not actually interview the person of Al

1. Lendale White claims he stopped drinking tequila this off season in order to get in shape. I liked my sports heroes better when getting drunk was part of their “in-season conditioning” (see Mantle, Ruth, Wells, Strawberry). Although being drunk would explain a lot about some of his past actions, especially running right into the ground on the infamous 4 and 1 against Texas in the Rose Bowl.2.

“Burress Shoots Self in the Leg.” At first I thought the editor got the headline wrong. He meant to say Plaxico shot himself in the foot for some stupid comment he made. Nope. Crazy man literally shot himself in the leg. Not while hunting, but while at some nightclub. I’ve always said that doing “The Robot” was going to get someone hurt.As outrageous as that headline is, it is nothing compared to

This year's offering of Thanksgiving NFL games might cause more people to upchuck than the thousands of undercooked turkeys served this holiday season.These games are so bad, there is nothing I can say or write that will convince you to watch them...unless of course, your ability to pay off your car loan is dependant on the outcome.In that case, I suggest treating these games like the dogs they

Donovan McNabb did not know that a regular season game could end in a tie. So what? He is only getting paid millions of dollars to play the game, why should he be expected to know all the “rules.” The CEOs of the nation’s automakers, banks, insurance companies, and investment companies get paid more than McNabb and know even less about the rules of their respective sports.Not knowing the overtime

Last week, I took the Manny Ramirez approach to picking games. I didn’t give it much thought; I just went up there and swung away. And just like Manny, I hit for power and average, picking 11 out 13 right.Also, just like Manny, I am taking the week off from giving insight commentary because:a) I pulled a hammie.

The week saw monumental change come to America. After what seemed like forever, a chance to lead was given to someone who most people never dreamed would have that opportunity.Brady Quinn was finally named starter of the Cleveland Browns.And they promptly went out and blew a fourth quarter lead. So maybe not all change is effective. In the spirit of all that is new in America’s political and

During halftime of the Seahawks beating up the 49ers, San Fran coach Mike Singletary dropped his pants to illustrate his contempt toward his team and its performance. He hoped the sight of his bare buttocks would motivate his team to play better.

The Phillies have won game five of the World Series... according to Las Vegas Sports Books.According to Nevada gaming regulations, a game that goes more than five innings but is stopped, must go back to the score of the last completed inning. So the 2-1 score after five innings counts and the books are paying off those people who bet the Phils.If Tampa end up winning the game, Rays bettors will

The most popular soap opera on TV (among the male demo of 18-35) is the riveting episodes of “The National Football League.” It’s got plenty of drama, violence, intrigue, sex...all of which occurs between Tuesday through Saturday.

Weird thing happened this week. I got a call on Wednesday at 3:00am from John McCain.That part was not so weird since he often calls me at all hours of the night. Usually we chat about old movies, reality TV and fun recipes that can be done under 30 minutes. But this night, he wanted to talk about football. I said, “You know John, I have a blog where I pick each week’s games.” After a twenty

The last week has brought us some strange things in the NFL, even more bizarre than usual.Peyton Manning, hoping around like Verbal Kint (and playing like him too) leads the Colt to 18 straight points to pull out a win.68 year old former bag boy Kurt Warner tearing up the Dolphins and leading his team to 2-0. I guess it was a good idea for him not to do beer bongs during the off season. Who knew?

This week, debate over the use of a quirky proverb supplanted our national discourse on the most important issues of the day, like will Tom Brady’s modeling career be affected by his torn ACL.

Every season, the team that wins the title will spout off that they were given no respect. This is usually some trumped up, self motivational tactic to get them to play hard, as opposed playing hard for the millions of dollars they are getting paid.With the exception of last year's Giants (who still get no respect), this is a bunch of bull. I would love to see a team lose and say "Gee, no one was
