If it were up to me, we’d start using athletes/sports personalities to redefine fugly relationships and the people who cause them. Here’s a good start… The Daunte Culpepper – At a pretty good stage in your life, you fall for someone who you think might be “the one.” Things become serious immediately, and there is an exchange of long-term commitments. Just when everything looks like it couldn’t possibly be going any better, the honeymoon stage ends abruptly, your significant other’s true colors are revealed and things fall apart. In the end, you realize that you just wasted an awful lot [...]

Honestly, I can’t believe that this is being so widely reported all over the Web. Was there ever even the slightest bit of doubt that Chris Benoit‘s steroid habits made what went on at BALCO look like pussy shit? Here’s a look at some of today’s other shocking headlines: “Breaking News: Chicks dig Leonardo DiCaprio“ “Lindsey Lohan not much of a homebody any more” “Surprising poll results: Most people dislike O.J. Simpson“ “Dirk Nowitski is really tall, German” “Nicole Richie, food, on diverging paths” “That Robert De Niro can really act” “Kyle Orton has a drink every now and then” [...]

First off, I want to thank my fellow Kansas City Chiefs brothers and sisters for stopping by and voting. I couldn’t live with the Brownies taking out my beloved Chiefs on my own blog. Also, I guess I’m throwing down the gauntlet to Browns fans — go ahead, try to make a comeback. All of the other eight “best” fans bases featured in the poll, save for maybe the Redskins, should be embarrassed by their turnout. Even though The Namesake might be allowed to participate in training camp, the Tennessee Titans don’t seem too thrilled. In fact, the franchise’s desire [...]

The Kingster‘s back, just in time to drop a B.S. list of NFL power ratings on us. I can’t say that I agree when he has the St. Louis Rams (10th) and Detroit Lions (13) ranked ahead of the Carolina Panthers (16) and Kansas City Chiefs. Call me a homer, but you can’t rank an ’06 playoff team among the seven worst teams heading into the ’07 season. Don’t even get me started on Jon Kitna and his Lions. Additionally, he tries to sell Nick Harper being a as good as Pacman Jones. Does he have any idea of just [...]

This list is going to really piss some people off. How do I feel about that? I feel great about it, actually. I’ve lived all over this country. I’ve watched games in bars and restaurants in more states than I can remember. I’ve been to quite a few stadiums. I’ve observed pretty much every team and its fans as they’ve visited Arrowhead over the years. I’ve frequented NFL message boards ever since my introduction to the Interwebs. I’ve been debating this question with my brother and others for two decades now. After doing some serious research, I’m more than qualified [...]

The Tube What better way to kick this off than with the intro from the greatest so-gay-its-cool TV show of all time — Riptide.   C’mon, nothing beats The Screaming Mimi, and not even the Amare-Matrix-Nash trio can compete with this one. If you have $25 of disposable income (what a stupid term, right?), my suggestion is that you go over to Amazon or eBay and order the first season on DVD. The drinking game possibilities are limitless. The P.J. Playlist An eclectic mix of new, old and older rock that’s in heavy rotation on my iTunes right now. Song [...]

The stories of Harry Potter and Matt Leinart aren’t too dissimilar. Both were geeky kids who became prodigies, wildly popular prodigies at that. Both rocked glasses and sported dorky haircuts. Both stories involve (the) Phoenix. Both had a hard time controlling their snakes. Both are the leaders of their respective crews. Even though those similarities are impossible to dismiss, there remains one similarity that is more obvious than any. Every time there’s a new Harry Potter movie out or a new NFL season around the corner, I hear about how this Harry Potter movie and this Arizona Cardinals team will [...]

Yes, it’s juvenile, but I couldn’t resist dropping this headline. Oh yeah, St. Louis Rams CB Fakhir Brown has been suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Way to go there, Fakhir. The Namesake tried to tell you — Roger Goodell ain’t playin’! – The Fanhouse
