For years, I have opined to my friends that Hank Williams, Jr. has the easiest job in the world: singing the Monday Night Football theme. Just slightly tweak the lyrics to reflect the teams playing that week, and voila, you have your paycheck. In order to lose a gig like ...

You know, I was really enjoying a pretty quiet beginning of August. Should've known Brett Favre was fixing to ruin that.
You see, I'm a Packers fan. Always have been. As a result, I've morphed into something of the Brett Favre expert on this site. Truth be told, Favre was my ...

Adrian Branch and Todd Harris called last night’s WAC showdown between Nevada and Utah State on ESPN2. Being the avid college basketball fan that I am, I decided why not watch my third game of the night (Michigan State-Minnesota and Northwestern-Wisconsin had my attention earlier). I'm semi-watching the game, more ...

Wow Steve Phillips. What have you gotten yourself into?
Of all the crazed affairs, this one is pretty good. It even makes the Rick Pitino Restaurant Bangout Turned Embezzlement Scheme look tame.
Phillips, ESPN's resident baseball moron, dipped his pen in the company ink. And now, he's paying for it. The network ...

The Detroit Lions blow. I know, shocking. On Sunday, the Lions lost for the 19th consecutive time. The streak is the second-longest in NFL history behind only the Buccaneers' historic futility in the late 1970s.
ESPN's "NFL Live," put up the above nifty little graphic illustrating the Lions' continued failures. Chopin's "Funeral ...

While flipping between channels last night I came upon the Georgia Tech - Clemson game on ESPN. Chris Fowler, Craig James and Jesse Palmer were in the booth bestowing their infinite wisdom on the viewing audience.
During the third quarter (if I remember correctly) ESPN came back from a commercial and ...

It’s about dinner time on Tuesday. I’m watching “NFL Live.” Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth and Marcellus Wiley are chatting it up about my favorite quarterback Kyle Orton. Orton, the formerly bearded Bear, suffered an “open dislocation” of his index finger against his former team Sunday night.
The ESPN studio trio were ...

On Thursday night’s “SportsCenter” tease, I heard a sound byte from Brett Favre when he was asked what he thought about the reports there is a “schism” in the Vikings locker room.
Favre’s response: “I don’t even know what that means.”
In Folksy QB Talk that translates to “Fuck you.”
Favre knew what ...

A few months ago, Bill Simmons had ESPN soccer announcer Rob Stone as a guest on his radio show to talk soccer - a rarity on the Sports Guy's show. Listening to Simmons trip over soccer concepts and names made ardent soccer supporters cringe. But he admitted during the segment, ...
