We know that Jesus is a football fan; the folks at Catholic Shopper wouldn’t have made this if he wasn’t. And Kurt Warner must have called in a favor on Sunday; how else do you explain all those Packers’ turnovers? What an offensive clusterphooey. Except for the kicking game, of course. Stephan Fatsis, in case…

Watch CBS News Videos Online She’s 6-foot-10, ferocious in the paint, and only 16 years old. A college basketball coach of note says that she could redefine the women’s game. That may or may not be true, but there’s only one thing I know for sure: When Bubbles Anderson says that you’re taking her to…

Friday Blogdome: Bert Blyleven on not being one of The Kids in the Hall
Jan 8, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
It’s my opinion that Bert Blyleven should get into the Hall of Fame for this beard-shirt combo alone, but I don’t get a vote (Bud Selig ran my BBWAA card through a very tiny shredder several years ago). As it was, he missed out by the slimmest of margins; getting 400 votes, .8 percent from…

Did Mike Leach get Swiftboated? It appears that very well could be the case, as Sports by Brooks outlines today in a post linking ESPN football analyst Craig James and the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, that funtime group of merry pranksters who waged a smear campaign against John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential election. Leach…

So your dreams of a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. Superfight of the Decade ended the way that your dreams always do, in shambles, with you turning to booze and cable TV soft porn to hide the terrible hurt within. But now comes word that Pacquiao has found another opponent; one who will not require steroid,…

Girls soccer coach invites freshman player to orgy; jailarity ensues
Jan 8, 2010, 12:00 PM EDT
So what, now it’s a crime for a girls soccer coach to text message one of his 14-year-old players and invite her to an orgy? Oh wait, yeah, I guess it is. It all happened, allegedly, at Del Norte High near San Diego, where a 35-year-old male soccer coach got all flirty with one of…

This couldn’t have come at a worse time for the nation of Angola, which is struggling to reinvent itself after years of bloody civil war. As the nation gears up to play host to the African Cup of Nations soccer tournament beginning on Saturday, news comes that the Togo national team bus was machine-gunned by…

Now that Batman is on the run from the law (see last 10 mins of The Dark Knight), we only have The Masked Streaker to protect us. You only caught the briefest glimpse of him on television on Thursday, as he was quickly corralled and hauled to a security pen during the big BCS Championship…

I’ve seen Mr. Gilbert’s girlfriend, and I see no reason to trade her in; but then I’m a hoarder. If Nick Saban is hoisting the crystal Still-No-Sensible-College-Football-Playoffs Trophy, then why is Texas’ backup quarterback getting all the positive buzz this morning? Because unlike Nick Saban — who is about as cuddly as Clint Eastwood in…

Because you demanded it — at least that’s what was written on the note attached to the brick — here’s the lowdown on Alex Rodriguez’s new lady love. Her name is Elaine Spottswood, 25, of Key West, and the big news here is not that A-Rod has found a new girlfriend; it’s that he’s found…

A Backyard Football Prank With Painful Results. You have to feel bad for that kid. Poor bastard didn’t see it coming at all. On a scale of dirty hits from one to ten, that’s a “Hines Ward.” [Second-String Fullback] Video following the jump.

Tiger Woods impersonator Canh Oxelson on love, golf and life after the scandal
Jan 7, 2010, 12:30 PM EDT
Until Tiger Woods decides to re-enter public life, the only touchstone we have to the world’s greatest golfer is Canh Oxelson. Call him Tiger Woods’ avatar; a 38-year-old educator from Los Angeles who is the dean of students at a prep school on weekdays, and on weekends makes handsome extra cash as a Woods impersonator.…

Shula 80th birthday party guests: 'We watched like lepers as our heroes had a ball'
Jan 7, 2010, 11:30 AM EDT
Anyone who saw the James Cameron version of Titanic knows the difference between first class and steerage. And such it was at Land Shark Stadium on Saturday night, where some Miami Dolphins season ticket holders contend they were treated as third-class citizens after being invited to Don Shula’s 80th birthday party. Even though the fans…

Alleged mistress shopping book, claims Tiger had gay sex romps
Jan 7, 2010, 10:30 AM EDT
According to my calculations, Loredana Jolie Ferriolo is the 13th alleged Tiger Woods mistress to come forward either by media scrutiny or her own admission, and the only one to have attended Nassau Community College (that we know of). Her name first came out when Hollywood madam Michelle Braun mentioned her in an interview with…

If you’re ordering pie for tonight’s big showdown between Texas and Alabama, chances are it won’t be from Domino’s; their new commercials were lampooned rather mercilessly on The Colbert Report last night. As for me, I’ll still be eating dry toast, trying to get over this flu bug. It also makes me a little queasy…

Gilbert Arenas PETA anti-fur ad: Bad timing, or crazy like a fox?
Jan 6, 2010, 6:30 PM EDT
Well, at least we know he wasn’t shooting animals with those guns. PETA rolled out its latest anti-fur campaign ad today; and while some may consider any Gilbert Arenas-based publicity today as bad timing, PETA takes a different view. As spokesman Dan Shannon told me via email: “Arenas may not have a job in the…

Wednesday Blogdome: Evidently Fiesta Bowls are great aphrodisiacs
Jan 6, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
While it wasn’t quite up to par with last year’s marriage proposal, the makeout session between Boise State offensive lineman Michael Ames and his fiancee, Tess Tracy, following the Broncos’ Fiesta Bowl win over TCU did its share to uphold the tradition. Is there Vitamin E in potatoes? Your Wednesday Blogdome continues after the jump.…

Setting a state scoring record in high school basketball can be fun, if the other team is relatively competitive. But Houston’s Yates High School is taking some heat at this hour for its 170-35 win over Lee High School on Tuesday night; a game which included a fight, and featured Yates continuing to press the…
