WHY YOU NEED IT: Because a week after
Dick Jauron is finally fired by the woeful Buffalo
Bills, it's appropriate to look back at a decade that can be characterized in no other way but FAIL. I'm a Browns fan, so I feel your pain Buffalo. It's hard ...

I'll give it this: The League has been
funnier than expected. Thursday night's was pretty strong. It
was also the first episode to feature a cameo from an actual NFL player. The FX comedy is available on Hulu , but last ...

Antonio Gates' Cameo on FX's 'The League'
It'd been a few weeks -- a few pretty busy weeks with injuries and a few significant player moves -- since our last Madden NFL 10 roster update, but thankfully that changes for Week 11. Head over to EA Sports' Madden blog for a full list of the updates. As expected, after a few weeks off, there ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: One day, you'll tell your kids about how amazing you were when you were younger. How you took no prisoners, seized every day, walked to school barefoot in the snow, and went on adventures they'd never imagine you doing. One of those adventures might be about the time you ...

To the best of my knowledge, there is no video of the incident I'm about to detail, but if there is, oh please e-mail me (blogtips[at]sportingnews.com). Marv Albert and rapper 50 Cent both appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday, but the real fun was had backstage. The juicy bits come ...

I neglected to mention this earlier in the week, but NCAA Basketball 10 is in stores now. Of all the games this year from EA, it feels like this one has gotten the least press. It's hard to imagine a world in which a college basketball game doesn't exist, but it doesn't feel like we're far ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: Via Uni Watch , check out this amazing lot of 200 sports t-shirts. They range from vaguely dorky ("The Fridge") to kitschy chic ("I'm a blue blooded derrick lovin' boot stompin' Oiler Fan!"). To top it off, the seller is including a bunch of assorted ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: Understandably, the death industry causes all kinds of anxiety for people. When a loved one passes, arrangements have to be made, and providing the proper farewell can be expensive. But beyond the cost, what, exactly is a "proper" farewell? For some people, that ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: We've had a strong run of boxing shirts in the last month, mainly because of Pacman, which has made the shirts not only dope, but timely. Well, Mothering Hut is taking us back, back all the way to 1974 and Ali and Foreman's "Rumble in the Jungle." What does ...

In this week's episode, Matt Saracen and Tim Riggins go on a multi-state killing spree as expert snipers. (OK, that's not what really happened.) To read about the actual episode, "A Sort of Homecoming," proceed past the jump.

Judging by the ratings, everyone seems to watch some part of the CSI franchise on CBS. (I don't.) If you're like me and you missed Pau Gasol's brief cameo on the show, there you go. Your life has been changed forever.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Because Pacman is King of the World right now. And IMKING has partnered with the champ for this special-edition t-shirt that you can wear proudly not just because you're a Pacquiao supporter, or because the design is cool, but because portions of the proceeds go to charity. ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: Oftentimes, the value of sports memorabilia lies in the story behind it. An autographed John Elway football is nice, but an autographed John Elway football that required you to scale an electric fence, elude several trained attack falcons, and hike three days through swamp ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: There is no reason to own a gold-plated basketball other than to say that you own a gold-plated basketball. It's kind of like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Johnny may have won an epic competition, but what do you even want with a golden fiddle ?
There's no ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: Because everyone has an opinion on where King James is going to land in the Most Important Thing to Happen in July 2010 (can you tell I'm reading the Sports Guy's book right now?) and you should probably have some apparel to back up your opinion. Unfortunately, haven't ...

WHY YOU NEED IT: We went to space, kind of, with a Jordan tee the other day. The "One Giant Leap for Mankind" shirt played off one famous dunk, and one of UNDRCRWN's new designs plays off another. And we're going to space again. Moonman is doing this dunk. Not that UNDRCRWN needs us ...
