Pat Summitt made history last night with her 1000th coaching win…which didn’t impress arch-enemy Geno Auriemma, who made his way down to the court to try and get a piece of her. What a tool.
The San Francisco Chronicle‘s David White has revealed that, while the Raiders were on the team plane returning from their Nov. 23rd game in Denver last year, 350-pound defensive tackle Terdell Sands punched 225-pound punter Shane Lechler in the face. I can’t even imagine what could’ve triggered such a shocking incident, but I do know that, in the normal football world, such a thing would’ve at least earned the attacker a fine, if not a suspension. But we’re not talking about the normal football world here are we? No. We’re talking about Raiderland. And in Raiderland, if you’re a massive [...]
If you’re one of the millions of people who were left with a bitter taste in their mouth after all the questionable officiating in the Super Bowl, well, you’re not alone: Seems the NFL itself was not terribly impressed with the way Terry McAulay and his crew performed either. At particular issue was the Cardinals‘ final offensive play, the one where Kurt Warner was trying to heave it downfield in desperate fashion when the ball was knocked from his hand – a play that was ruled a fumble to the Steelers who promptly took a knee, triggering the release of [...]
What could Lane Kiffin have been thinking when he decided to crack on Urban Meyer during a signing day event, accusing Meyer of committing a recruiting violation by calling a player while said player was still visiting the Tennessee campus? Obviously Kiffin was playing to the crowd, thinking he could get them on his side by taking a dig at arch-enemy Florida. All fine and good: But when your dig includes accusing a rival coach of a recruiting violation? That’s poor form. And then when it turns out there isn’t even a rule against the thing the rival coach allegedly [...]
Terry Glenn – the wide receiver Bill Parcells infamously used to refer to as “she” – was arrested in Dallas last week and charged with public intoxication and (of course) marijuana possession, after allegedly going apes**t inside a hotel. Accounts of Glenn’s booze-and-pot-fueled exploits at the Extended Stay Deluxe Hotel include one witness’s claim that Glenn pulled his pants down and stretched out on the floor of a hallway, while other reports have Glenn running around the hotel butt naked and waving a joint in the air. Numerous complaints were made about Glenn before hotel staff broke down and called [...]

Obama Wants a Piece of Tiger
Barack Obama wants a piece of Tiger Woods on the links. This insane play was revealed by Tiger himself on his blog, as he recounted his trip to the inauguration. “[Barack and I] didn’t get to talk much,” Tiger said. “I didn’t want to get in his way. I did ask him if he wanted to play golf and he said, ‘I’d love to.’ So we’ll make it happen.” How many shots is Tiger going to spot Barack on each hole? Ten? And how many mulligans does Obama get? I imagine as many as he wants. It’s sweet being the [...]

Justin Fargas Needs New Friends
Raiders running back Justin Fargas might want to consider down-sizing his extended posse…unless he enjoys being red flagged by the NFL for appearing in videos where dudes named Yukmouth espouse the joys of marijuana while openly partaking of their rather shockingly large supply. I could’ve embedded this video but there’s so much drug use in it I decided it would be safer to just link it. It should be noted that Fargas himself doesn’t smoke anything on-camera, so he’s at least smarter than Michael Phelps. But not a lot smarter. Note to Mr. Yukmouth: Um, I don’t know, maybe Listerine [...]
LeBron James made history last night, becoming the youngest player to reach 12,000 points – despite having a dismembered C-3PO strapped to his back for the entire game.
