Samac: Will Someone Get These Kids Laid?

We've got another contributor joining the fray, here. His name's Shawn Samac. Welcome him as you would any other outstanding gentleman. Either this is exclusive footage from last week’s Association of Midwestern Virgins get-together or it’s two kids engaged in...

This Is What It's Coming To

For all the talk about Super Bowl commercials, they, like the game itself, always seem to let me down. The last time I think I actually laughed out loud at a spot during the big game was the "Terry...

This Ain't Around the Horn, Plaschke

Everywhere you go on this here series of tubes, the sporting world is talking about Media Day and making fun of how absolutely ridiculous it is. We're not gonna go there. Media Day is totally awesome, because the players...

The Future of Devils Hockey?

Thanks to With Leather for this terrifying glimpse at the future of the Devils. It's been bad enough watching this team play without Scott Stevens and Ken Daneyko; I haven't even wanted to tempt myself into thinking about the...

Peyton Manning's A Choker?

It took a week after the Saints lost to the Bears to actually be able to muster any interest in football again. For a while, I didn't want to hear about Peyton Manning's quest to get off the shitter...

Tony Dungy Hates Them Gays

Well, duh. Any man that possesses such a faith in God HAS to hate gay people. It's part of that silly credo Christians believe in. Oh, I guess a backstory is necessary: Dungy appears on the website for the...

Don't Hate on Shaq

It might offend just about every right-wing Superman fan, but the original depictions of Superman as a white man are wrong. Just like Jesus, it turns out that Superman, really, is black. "Well, Jesus was a real person, and...

It's Not Summer, But Mariotti Loves Flip-Flops

I'm glad that people are on top of these sportswriters and all of their inconsistencies. Now with the internet, where everything is archived for the world to see, we're finally able to prove that these people are just like you...

Elmers Stock Just Went Up

If you've ever had a family member on life support or in a coma for an extended period of time, you've probably had to deal with the inner-tension that comes when you want that person to live, but wouldn't...

Calling All Contributors

So I think it's become painfully obvious that neither Kyle or I have enough time to update this site with the frequency and quality that both you and we would like. It isn't as if we've lost sight of...

Monday YouTube Extravaganza

It's going to be a video day today. I know I've been slacking off, big-time, but things have been hectic in the Jerz lately. Sorry. We're putting out calls for contributors to help me get my shit in order, expect...

Who Do I Think Should Coach Dallas Next? Mike Martz

I'm writing this because I know, even though he doesn't like to admit it, Jerry Jones holds my opinion very high. So, just in case I'm at work when he calls, he can read my opinion here. When it...

New NHL Uniforms Arrive

For three years, Reebok and the NHL have worked together to design a new uniform that all 30 teams will use. And, as you can see from the picture to your left, they are....exactly the same as the last...

RP: The Dangerous World of Auto-Rickshaw Racing

We've got a new contributor here; he goes by the name of RP. Whenever it strikes his fancy, he'll be contributing his thoughts on just about everything. He sleeps all day and writes all night between episodes of The West...

RP: The Carly Patterson Workout

We've got a new contributor here; he goes by the name of RP. Whenever it strikes his fancy, he'll be contributing his thoughts on just about everything. He sleeps all day and writes all night between episodes of The West...

The (not) Happy Mondays

I'm pretty inconsolable today. The Saints' season is over, and while I enjoy the draft and the offseason and I like the chance to see Asante Samuel in New Orleans, it's so much more fun to analyze playoff matchups than...

Will We Hear From Jeff Samardzija Ever Again?

Notre Dame's record-setting receiver Jeff Samardzija chose to sign a 5-year deal with the Chicago Cubs organization instead of opting to play pro football. While I won't question his decision to choose baseball over football -- it's his decision...

Rigged Against Rory?

I've been avoiding this story, mainly because I think it was all a bit silly in the first place and All Star games rank right behind teeth cleanings and just in front of watching E! on my list of...

Mike Vick: Role Model Extraordinaire

Unfortunately, I couldn't completely relay sarcasm in the title, but I think you get the idea with the "I'd Hit It" picture. Mike Vick's the guy who flipped off his own fans earlier this season. Now, at a Miami...

Schottenheimer Avoids Most Coaches' Fate

I like Marty Schottenheimer, but I was kinda hoping he was getting fired, just so I could title the blog "Schott Not!" I figured they would keep Marty just because the Chargers were so dominating this year with a...

Ted Nolan Is No Fan Of Bobby Fischer

When you've been blacklisted from the NHL coaching fraternity for almost a decade, and the only way to end it is to take a job with the Islanders, you shouldn't be poking fun at anyone. I won't go through...

MORE MEAT!!!

The benevolent Michael Strahan -- friend of Jared's, cuddly teddy bear with bad teeth, locker room cancer -- is at it again. As you've probably heard by now, Strahan was ruled to give $15.3M to his ex-wife Jean which,...

We Cannot Escape Manning/Brady

If you're checking here looking for my thoughts on the Saints...well, you're not going to get them. I'm so caught up in playoff fever, I simply cannot talk about the team rationally. The fact that the Ravens and Chargers, the...

Kornheiser's Coming Back

It's not Halloween, but the news sure is frightful. Tony Kornheiser is coming back for another year of Monday Night Football. I understand that networks make mistakes, especially when it comes to sports coverage, and putting a good crew...

Whoever Drafts Adrian Peterson Is Making A Big Mistake

The draft declarations are starting to roll in: JaMarcus Russell, Dwayne Jarrett, and, now, Adrian Peterson is expected to announce his eligibility for the NFL Draft (or, as I like to call it, The Best Sporting Weekend That Doesn't...

Paul Lo Duca Is Scaring People Away

Being pretty much a Mets fanboy, it's been sad not posting about them during the winter. Finally, a blog-worthy story has come along. I almost didn't want to touch it because of my blind rage, but Tom4 pointed me...

Isn't It Ironic -- The Jason Kidd Edition

Remember that Alanis Morisette song "Ironic"? You know, the song where she lists random things that actually aren't ironic at all. Originally, the lyric "It's like rain on your wedding day" was "It's like Jason Kidd filing for divorce...

Your Winning Super Bowl Ad

You've seen the commercials -- lots of dorks pitch their idea for the perfect Super Bowl ad, and the winner has his made. Well, there's a winner: It doesn't involve monkeys, which is the typical formula for a successful Super...

Shovegate: The Movie

I'm not going to get into any sort of ethical discourse over Bill Belichick's Shove (it deserves to be capitalized at this point). It's just funny. The photographer doesn't have a problem with it, though his paper, The Boston...

Eat It, Klosterman

What Chuck Klosterman needs -- what any sportswriter needs, really -- is for his opinion (in this case, that the BCS doesn't need a playoff system) to be validated. After declaring that the current bowl system is exhilarating, exciting, wheeeee!,...

Petrino Could Be Smart

I might be a day, or two, or three behind on this. Sorry, I'm no slave to you. Bobby Petrino is, of course, the new coach of the Falcons. Supposedly he's got the final call on whether or not...

Tom's Playoff Picks

After the monstrosity that was out NFL previews, I've been a little wary about prognosticating. But this is the best time of year. It's the NFL playoffs; sans Don Cheadle, no less. I finally have something to care about...

Kyle's Playoff Picks

A few years ago, ESPN2's columnist Bill Simmons said his dream was to go 8-0 predicting the NFL playoffs. That year I tried, I really bombed. My playoff predictions may not have improved sincel then, but now that I'm...

The Unit Leaves New York, And I'm Sad

If you've ever read this blog, you'll know I'm a big time Mets fan. So why would I be sad that Randy Johnson was traded from the Yankees? Because I'm a big time Yankee Hater too. I don't hate...

Klosterman -- The Dissenter

This man does not look like he knows a lick about sports. You'd think that he were, you know, a best-selling pop culture writer or something. Ahem. Anyway, Chuck Klosterman, like many nerds (including us), loves sports. And, in a...

The Nickname "Tank" Is Fitting

Some peculiar information has been released regarding Tank Johnson's arrest a few weeks back. Here is what the cops found in his house: • .44 Magnum Smith and Wesson • .50 caliber Desert Eagle handgun • .45 caliber handgun...

Madden Birds & Bees '07

A 14-year-old thought he was about to hunker down with Madden '07, perhaps for a little Franchise Mode, and got something so so so much better. Christmas became XXX-mas for a 14-year-old Layton boy who discovered hard-core pornography on a...

Somewhere, Stan Van Gundy Smiles

You know what's sad is that Pat Riley, health problems and all, is still a better dancer than I. His leave of absence from the Heat, I'd imagine, will be forever. Or at least until the team is performing...

Nick Saban Goes Where The Money Is

Nick Saban, in possibly the least surprising development of the young NFL offseason, has accepted the job at Alabama. It should come as no surprise that Saban took the money and ran; whose loyalty can't be bought for $35M?...

Movie Review: Rocky Balboa

During my senior year of college, AMC ran Rocky marathons constantly. Though I'd seen the movies before, I really learned them that year. My roommate and I watched more Rocky in that year than many do in their lifetimes....
