A Love Letter to A-Rod

November 25, 2009 – 1:35 pm

Grace Dunkley-Asphall is a poet and writer who I happened to work with a few years ago.  Since we both run our own blogs, we decided to do a swap in which we would post on each other’s sites.  Here is Grace’s entry for TOF.  Stay tuned for part II when I post a rebuttal [...]

Brady Quinn’s Girlfriend

November 25, 2009 – 8:57 am

Apparently Brady Quinn is dating Olympic Gymnast Alicia Sacramone.  He must not care about all the jokes that are sure to fly his way about how his girlfriend could kick his ass.  Either that, or he doesn’t find them funny, because his girlfriend could totally kick his ass.  Here’s the proof:

College! Knowledge! Football, lucky week thirteen.

November 25, 2009 – 8:45 am

Rivalry week is one of the greatest weekends of the year in college football. When else are so many ridiculous trophies at stake?
Last week: 9-6
Good calls: None. I was horrible last week. Arizona almost squeaked out a victory against #11 Oregon, but ended up losing in overtime 44-41.
Bad calls: I’ll happily admit that I was [...]

Devin Hester’s Butt

November 23, 2009 – 3:44 pm

I was at this game, and nobody in the stadium noticed Devin Hester getting pantsed by the Eagles D.  Guess those who were watching on TV got lucky, or unlucky… I forget if accidentally seeing a grown man’s ass on TV is considered good luck or not.

College! Knowledge! Football, week twelve.

November 20, 2009 – 3:23 pm

Last week: 16-3
Good calls: the SEC (7-0), North Carolina over #12 Miami
Bad calls: NC State over #24 Clemson (Clemson win 43-23), #11 USC over #25 Stanford (Stanford win 55-21)
ACC
North Carolina (7-3) at Boston College (7-3)
This would be an excusable loss for either team, so no one is playing desperate here. It’s basketball season in Chapel [...]

Going Out on a High Note

November 18, 2009 – 7:01 pm

This Swedish hockey player scored his first goal of the season, then celebrated by peacing out.   Way to go out on top, dude.

Give France a…. wait for it….

November 18, 2009 – 6:17 pm

…hand. Give France a goddamn hand! I couldn’t resist, but that’s what the refs did just hours ago in their extra-time victory against Ireland.

The half-Irishman in me is disappointed, but not so much that I really want to see Henry’s head on a platter like the entire country of Eire. Well, at least he admitted [...]

November 17, 2009 – 7:59 am

This is the true story of what happened when I watched Pat’s pugs while he was gone for the weekend.

Everyone’s Favorite New Underdog

November 16, 2009 – 12:02 pm

This is Will Bynum.  He’s maybe 5′11″, and has spent the last few years playing in the NBA Developmental League and on Maccabi Tel Aviv.  Now he’s dunking all over NBA squads and winning over new fans by the minute.  Commence your own fan-dom starting… now.
