Before I get started, congratulations to Phillips' sister and baby-daddy (I kid, I kid) Eric on the birth of their daughter. I don't get to do my Luca Brasi impression until her wedding, I guess, but in any case congratulations to everyone.
Now on with the college football-related wrongheadedness.
1. Colin Kaepernick will ...

On Thursday, we learned that Memphis' 2007-08 season never actually happened as the NCAA stripped away all of the program's 38 wins due to the fact that Derrick Rose was not eligible to play in any of those games -- including the Tigers' appearance in the national championship game. No ...

I mean sure, the 100 meters world record is what gets you the title of "world's fastest man," but the 200 meters is real GD speed, and this video, friends, is as real as it gets. I bet he's on steroids. That's right, I said it. Now put me on ...

Shocking as it may sound, there are actually several sources claiming that Brodie Croyle may be breathing down Matt Cassel's neck for the starting quarterback job in Kansas City.
Chiefs beat writer Kent Babb claimed yesterday that Croyle could be challenging Cassel for the starting spot. Then, head coach Todd Haley ...

Aside from Carson Palmer's emergence as the best deadpan comedian since Mitch Hedberg, my favorite person from this season of Hard Knocks on HBO is rookie fullback Chris Pressley. But before I talk about him too much, watch this video of him squatting 610 pounds several times.
For the record, that ...

This is Jasmine Fiore, former Playboy model. She wasn't all that cute, but now she's dead and that's a terrible thing to say. Shame on me. She was recently murdered and found stuffed inside a suitcase, in an Orange County trash bin and the salacious details of her death and ...

It's an old fan cliche to say that one is better than the current quarterback of one's favorite college or pro team. Most of the time it's sarcastic or simply said out of frustration, but in the case of the Syracuse Orange, it might actually have been true until Monday ...

Let me be clear: Brett Favre is the single most important athlete of my childhood.
Unlike everybody else on this blog -- including those poor, sad Bears fans -- I grew up a cheesehead-wearing, Favre-worshipping Packers fan. During my youth he won three MVP awards and went to two Super Bowls, ...

1. I hate Brett Favre. I used to have an adversarial respect for him, being a Bears fan and all, but now this is just getting ridiculous. Talk about an attention whore. Oh, and Jay Glazer just bodyslammed the ESPN weasel trio of Schefter-Mortensen-Clayton at the same time, by not ...

With yet another blown save on Monday night -- his 900th sixth of the year and third in the month of August -- Kevin Gregg solidified the theory that there is no one in America who is worse at their job than himself. Actually, I just made that theory up. ...
