When I was a young lad, I always aspired to make it big in Boise. Or at least Pocatello. It looks like I've made it.
The Occupy The BCS movement, which we will claim to have started at Rumors and Rants because the evidence allows us to, has at least caught ...

Any chance of Indiana football becoming relevant in my lifetime went kaput on Tuesday when top quarterback recruit Gunner Kiel of Columbus, Ind. committed to LSU.
Kiel had originally given Hoosier fans their first glimmer of hope since the Anthony Thompson Era -- or at least since the death of Terry ...

Prior to Thursday's game, Colts owner Jim Irsay told the NFL Network that the only way Peyton Manning wouldn't play for the Colts next year is if he does not recover from the neck injury that has kept him out all season.
Irsay's Colts then showed he wasn't joking with an ...

Sunday's most stunning NFL development is not that Kyle Orton and the Chiefs beat the previously unbeaten Packers, nor that Dan Orlovsky and the previously winless Colts derailed Tennessee's playoff hopes.

The world's easiest guys to root against, Jerry Sandusky and attorney Joe Amendola, have done it again.

I have never been teabagged before, but I can't imagine it feels any worse than being Tebowed.
I've been trying my damndest (sorry for the harsh language, Tim) to think of what exactly that verb means since the Bears became The Pious QB's latest victims. I believe it would read something ...

It's just been one of those years.
My favorite football team's biggest rival won the Super Bowl and still hasn't lost a game in 2011. My favorite baseball team's biggest rival won the World Series. Both got into the playoffs thanks to wins over that rival in the final week of ...

Ohio State hired well-known Family Guy Peter Griffin Urban Meyer on Monday to coach its football team.
Less than a year ago, Meyer stepped down from his post at Florida to spend more time with his family. Apparently, that family is incredibly boring. Or maybe they smell funny.
