Shocking! NJ is Corrupt

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:51:24 +1900

A few week's back we noted the shady manner in which Rutgers Coach Greg Schiano was wetting his beak. Apparently that's just scratching the surface. The State University's Athletic Department, according to an internal audit (and not surprisingly), may be as crooked as the state's elected officials.

Sean Avery's Creamy Calves

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:19:53 +1900

A few weeks back, Fat Willard posted an article noting: "When the hockey star Sean Avery took an internship at Vogue earlier this summer, the work uniform that the fashion-besotted left wing chose included a shorts suit that showcased his athletic calves." Many HHR readers were disappointed that the accompanying picture to the post was not, in fact, of Avery in shorts. Well, patience is a ...

This is almost too comical to believe, but apparently the Bengals aren't too committed to shedding their label as the home for the NFL's troubled youth: "Agent Says Bengals Close to Signing WR Henry"

Heartbreak for China as Liu pulls out Heartbreaking as it is, even star athletes must adhere to the country's strict limitation on the number of children a couple is permitted to have. He just so happened to hear that this was the most effective form of contraception besides "anal."

Rusty Reckons: Gibbs' True Colors

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:49:37 +1900

Some doggone honesty is mighty refreshing in professional sports these days. javascript:document.storyForm.submit(); Just yesterday, ole Rusty was puzzled, stunned, even bewildered by the shady actions of JGR. Today, just like the man Rusty knew he could be, Gibbs stepped up and sounded quite contrite as he waits for his medicine from NASCAR. He didn't utter any cliche phrases or innuendo.

Eat the Clock: Competitive Eating on the Food Network?

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:02:10 +1900

THR reports that "the Food Network is getting into the competitive eating genre with a new series tentatively titled "Eat the Clock."" I, for one, am a bit put-off by this concept. Competitive eating has no business on the Food Network (of which, for the record, I am a big fan), and vice versa.

Leitch makes huge career move, becomes a blogger?

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:49:36 +1900

I am not sure if this is a step down for former Deadspin editor Will Leitch or proof that the MSM has finally begun to embrace bloggers and hired the former king of the mountain.

Cubbie Chaser: VOTE DEMPSTER FOR CY YOUNG, AND MVP, AND KING OF THE WORLD...

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:59:24 +1900

Since morphing from the Cubs' 2007 closer into their 2008 ace -- sorry, Carlos Zambrano, your last two starts prove you're too inconsistent to wear the crown -- Dempster has done everything in his power to make Cub fans believe this could be their year. And trust me, that's an amazing feat, akin to climbing Mt. Everest naked.

Rusty Reckons: Say It Ain't So, Joe!

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:27:03 +1900

Old Rusty's got nothing but respect for Joe Gibbs. One of the most outstanding fellows in the sport, his faith (respectfully so) dictates many of his business decisions. For instance, he still refuses to consider alcohol sponsors for any of his teams. However, the news coming out of Michigan makes me start to think what in the devil went wrong.
