When we were back in Los Angeles last week, it was for a purpose. It’s a trip we make every year around the same time, supposedly to see family at eat everyday at Yuccas. But really the timing is...

Puppet Jose Mourinho has come back to Setanta to kick his brand of Portuguese knowledge. This time, he brings us a special video to help the poor, unfortunate Dimitar Berbatovs out there who need a home. Help, and you...

We’ve all been there. Humiliated, literally at the hands of some punk talking trash, reminding you not only about how much your hand-eye coordination sucks but your overall suckiness factor. That’s right, after playing a game of Madden with...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night Olympic Men’s Basketball: In an awesome display of fourth quarter prowess, Kobe Bryant willed his squad by scoring 13 of his 27 points in the last frame to beat the Spanish squad (again)...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night Men’s Basketball: The German men’s basketball coach doesn’t think anyone can beat the undefeated US team, who have thrashed their competition by an average of 32 points. So why don’t we just call...

Have you ever been to an NFL pre-season game? It’s sort of like a fire drill where everyone around you is half-assing it down the stairs and meandering around once they get outside—and that’s just the players. Well, according...

We know you’ve tried to block out Brett Favre’s pre-Jet days, but you might remember that he was offered $20 million over 10 years to stay away from the team. Man, talk about f-you money. But the general perception...

When we told you last year about the Jets fans going crazy in the D spiral of the Meadowlands, we never thought they would piss off enough people to warrant wholesale changes. But that’s what happened when members of...

The day that will surely never end is finally here folks. EA Sports Madden 09 will be released for sale this evening at the stroke of midnight, which means gamers all over will be revising their story to call...

Tom Brady has been blasphemin’… well, in Texas and certain parts of Oklahoma, anyway. In an interview with Esquire magazine, the New England Patriots’ dreamy QB explains that he’s in the throes of an existential crisis that usually befalls...

From one circus to another—the Brett Favre saga, which we’ve tried to avoid as much as possible—has ended, but not really. The quarterback, who retired then unretired only to find his team not wanting him, was traded last night...

Quick question: has a fawning SI cover ever been so undeserved? In an interview with Fox, Favre has alluded that he might go down to Packers training camp even though A) he’s retired and B) no one wants him...

When Paul Pierce menaced the Atlanta bench with an alleged gang sign a few months back during a game (and before he became America’s sweetheart), it put all leagues on notice. In particular, the NFL has taken an especially...

Los Angeles hasn’t had an NFL team since 1995, when the Rams headed to St.Louis to win Super Bowls and the Raiders went to Oakland to… we don’t know, mug people. But that might change soon if C. Dean...

The new NFL season kicks off in a few weeks, and EA is ready, like always, to release a new version of Madden. Today, though, EA isn’t talking about new features or anything like that, but rather the game’s...

Is John Madden going to be the Obi-Wan to our Luke in the upcoming Madden 09? This video of him upping our Football IQ in the upcoming makes it seem that he’s channeling us from the great beyond (or...

Why does the NFL all of a sudden resemble a story thread from The Wire? This week, New England Patriots o-lineman Nick Kaczur secretly helped the DEA nab a major illegal prescription drug supplier by wearing a wire. And...

We always thought the English had an affinity for fast sports like soccer, racing and tossing blood pudding after a night of drinking. So what are they doing snapping up tickets for the next NFL regular season game in...

Baby steps. That’s what we were thinking when we got our first look at the new Tecmo Bowl that’s being released for the Nintendo DS. We don’t have a DS, so we’re hoping for the Wii version to come...

If there’s a running thread that joins all levels of football—from Pop Warner to the pros—it’s that you’ll eventually encounter some fan violence in the stands. But NFL commissioner Roger Goddell has decided to do something about it. Ban...

Could the missing element that prevented the New England Patriots from going undefeated last season be… a soccer ball? Pats’ wide-out Wes Welker has just only introduced super-human receiver Randy Moss to his futbol-inclusive workouts that he’s used since...

Not since Jonathan Ogden had to run his 40 at the NFL combine has more boobage swung from potential football players that when the Lingerie Football League held tryouts for its inaugural season. Judging by this video, said tryouts...

In the greatest post-career move since that kid from The Toy started directing porn movies, EA has chosen Brett Farve to grace the cover of this year’s Madden 2009 game. Boy were we off. It seems that the game’s...

Contributing Editor Alex Ferreyra has been playing Madden Football since his college days long… long time ago. That’s why he’s so concerned about the athletes that have been affected by the dreaded “Madden Curse” Well, except for that dog-killing...

Former Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions running back Derek Moore is a 40 year old with a mission. Yes, repelling the effects of osteoporosis is a full-time job, but that’s not what we’re talking about. TV Land debuted their...

Not since EA dropped that damned “QB sight” from the Madden football series has a development been met with such overwhelming applause. Of course, we’re talking about the news that after every touchdown in next year’s game, the player...

Since we have no real affiliation to any team, the news of today’s NFL schedule saddened us more than excited us. Yeah we enjoy watching the Steelers, and yes we cheer on the Green Bay Packers because Brett Favre’s...

While everyone was glued to their TVs watching the NCAA (and wondering where we’re using our bracket sheet as kindling), this wonderful piece of information was released. It looks like that quintessential original Nintendo sports game Tecmo Bowl (pipe...

If you pass by the Miami Orange Bowl in the next couple of months and see people taking the stadium’s seats and even the scoreboard out into the streets of Little Havana, don’t worry. If the Miami Hurricane fans...

We were scouring the internet for video of Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick running off the field with a second left in the Super Bowl, but all we could find was this one shot off a TV. We wonder if...

It’s funny how time changes things. We remember the 2000 Super Bowl when the upstart Patriots beat the supposedly unstoppable St. Louis Rams. Oh man, what a feel-good story that was. Now, eight years later, and the same quarterback...

We’re not sure what the statistics are when it comes to vegetarian football players. The notion is an oxymoron of cataclysmic proportions. Football players are supposed to be cannibals; dismemberers of their own members; savorers of their own species....

We’re not here to judge who did who wrong in the whole West Virginia-Rich Rodriguez fiasco (although we have to disclose that we did call him an asshole once). But some digging from the Associated Press has shed some...

Stop the world! Tony Romo’s in town! That was the battle cry in the Texas burg of Robstown this weekend when the Cowboys quarterback and teammate Bobby Carpenter ate at a local restaurant and the whole place went insane....

The Wizard of Odds blog is running a poll to see which cheap shot in football is the worst of the year. We can’t help but choose this chop block on LSU’s Glen Dorsey. He’s going to the NFL...

We wouldn’t put it past the people of West Virgina to blame Rich Rodriguez for high car prices, too. [YouTube] Hank Steinbrenner talks himself out of not doing business with the Twins for Johan Santana. And if you followed...

Not being dads ourselves, we can make the audacious claim that being a team superfan is a lot like raising a child. You watch them both from their creation (or beginning of the season) and experience highs and lows...

Terrell Owens comes to Tony Romo’s defense after the Cowboys’ loss yesterday. Jeez, first he’s linked to Jessica Simpson; then his offensive line causes him to have a breakdown mid-game; now he’s got a crying supporter on video. There...

The LA Times has one of the first reviews of Tarnished Heisman, a tell-all that covers former USC running back Reggie Bush’s final year at the school. According to the tome, Bush and his family collect over $290,000, paid...

After Janet Jackson had her “wardrobe malfunction” during the 2002 Super Bowl, the NFL clamped down on all entertainment during it’s shows that might lead to anything salacious (which is why we have Tom Petty as the Super Bowl...

If you were in the LA area yesterday, you might have received a strange phone call.. No, it wasn’t from that weirdo you dated last week, but new UCLA Bruins football coach Rick Neuheisel. He’s called (via the school’s...

After last month’s Jessica Simpson-T.O.-City of Dallas debacle, Tony Romo needed to be told what the deal was. But who can tell Tony Romo who he can and can’t bring to the game? He has his team poised for...

Unfortunately the Giants didn’t listen to us on Saturday (Eli… ugh), so the big news around the water cooler for the people at work today is the Patriots perfect season. But winning as many games in the regular season...

From last night’s Holiday Bowl, Texas Head Coach Mack Brown’s stepson decided it was a good idea to touch a live ball during the game. Obviously you can’t learn things through osmosis. [Awful Announcing] Steve Nash is talking to...
