I’m not sure what’s the best about this: the shirt itself, or the description: In honor of Bobby Petrino riding his hog, possibly out into the sunset. Jelisa Castrodale comment: “I would so wear this. The “Fayetteville, AR (For Now)” is what sells it.” (Printed on the back). Available at Skreened.

As 2010 gives a brief farewell salute and is penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, we welcome 2011 with the happiness of a kid sleeping amongst Christmas toys, or the hangover of an adult waking up amongst liquor bottles (choose one). Our first full year was fun, wasn’t it? So come celebrate with us as…

Video: The Jelisa Castrodale Jeopardy beatdown; a look back
Dec 3, 2010, 2:46 PM EDT
I’m not sure if I ever formally announced this, so please join with me in applauding Out of Bounds/Off the Bench alum Jelisa Castrodale for her recent rise to stardom. As you surely know, Jelisa had a regular weekly column on this here blog, until the editors noticed that she was an amazing writer with…

By my count, there are only five things I hate more than the New York Yankees: Beets. Sailing by Christopher Cross. Sitting on a toilet seat that’s still warm from a stranger’s thighs. Anyone who says “you look tired” when they mean “you look like an exhumed corpse.” And Oprah’s Book Club. Those are the…

In possibly her last bit of publicity before that inevitable appearance on The Biggest Loser, Ines Sainz has turned down an appeal by Hugh Hefner to grace the pages of Playboy. In fact today on her Twitter page, she got downright ornery about it: Me in playboy? Never! No way! Does not go with my…

Editor’s Note: Jelisa Castrodale’s column will appear on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her one-woman cooking show, “The Vegetable Monologues,” has been banned in Canada and throughout the Middle East. Although it remains on the list of banned substances for every major sports league, the NCAA and the Olympics, it’s difficult to believe that cocaine was once…

Castrodale: Michael Vick has new lease on life, with an option to buy
Sep 28, 2010, 2:00 PM EDT
Editor’s note: Jelisa Castrodale’s column will now be appearing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On the other weekdays it opens for Donny and Marie at the Flamingo Showroom in Las Vegas. When jazz age novelist and frequent ascot wearer F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940, he left behind an Intervention-worthy drinking problem, an institutionalized former wife…

His vicious tackle of Brutus Buckeye prior to the Ohio State game is already the stuff of legend … or at least T-shirts. Now Rufus the Bobcat is in exile, banned by Ohio University from all of its athletic events due to the pre-game shenanigans. Was it worth it? When Rufus is old and graying,…

Castrodale: Fear & loathing in the form of a question … my brief reign as Jeopardy! champion
Sep 24, 2010, 1:00 PM EDT
Maybe it was because I stopped my shopping cart before it crashed into a stranger’s Miata. Maybe it was because I bought ninety pounds of Butter Lite popcorn from an undersized Boy Scout. Maybe it was the courtesy flush. As the commercial break began, I stood behind an electronic podium wondering what I’d ever done…

Jelisa Castrodale’s reign as Jeopardy! champion was brief; after defeating previous champ Roger Craig on Tuesday, the Out of Bounds columnist lost on Wednesday, and had to go home. But aside from upwards of $40,000 in winnings, Castrodale also has this honor: Being immortalized with an article in the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Yes, our own…

See that guy on the far left dressed as one of Joe Pesci’s crew in Casino? That’s Roger Craig, multiple-day Jeopardy! game show champ and holder of the show’s single-day record for money earnings at $77,000. But on Tuesday he was no match for the juggernaut that was Out of Bounds columnist Jelisa Castrodale (far…

You may be familiar with Out of Bounds columnist Jelisa Castrodale (and if you’re not, you’re missing out).

Castrodale will be a contestant on Jeopardy! tonight at…

Castrodale: Ines Sainz shouldn't have to explain herself; it's the men who are acting like idiots
Sep 16, 2010, 6:00 PM EDT
Last weekend, reporter Ines Sainz was covering one of the Jets final preseason practices when some of their second stringers turned into second graders, purposely overthrowing each other so they could get close to her when they scooped up their errant passes. This sitcom-worthy attempt to snag Sainz’ attention was led by defensive backs coach…

It’s been 214 days. Seven months. Thirty weeks. That’s how long we’ve gone without NFL football, the amount of time that has elapsed since a shower of confetti turned Miami’s Sun Life Stadium into a sweat-scented snow globe; since the New Orleans Saints changed into Super Bowl Champions t-shirts that were fresher than the concession…

Despite spending the preseason throwing the football with less accuracy than a fussy infant flinging its pacifier, the Arizona Cardinals have named Matt Leinart as their starting quarterback for their Week One opener against the St. Louis Rams. The selection of the former USC standout ends several weeks of competition with Derek Anderson over who’ll…

Oh yes, many, many empties have been hauled away from this vessel, I’d wager. H/T to our own Jelisa Castrodale, and Darned To Heck.

Castrodale: Here's to Tiger, Elin, and nothing but golf from now on
Aug 26, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
According to late ex-pat poet T.S. Eliot, the way the world ends is “not with a bang but a whimper.” And, as we learned earlier this week, a marriage ends with a joint statement on a website and a cover story in a checkout aisle tabloid. On Monday morning, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren were…

Depending on what state motto is embossed on your license plate, this may be one of the years where the upcoming US Senate elections mean that your nightly newscast features a number of action verbs like “mudslinging” or “facing off” or the adorably antiquated “muckracking”. If you’re in Connecticut, though, you can add “chair throwing”…

Thursday Blogdome: Matt Barnes on slapping coach, 'There's only so much you can take'
Aug 12, 2010, 5:00 PM EDT
* Matt Barnes confirms slapping coach Monday night. “Some people do too much or talk too much, and there’s only so much you can take,” said Barnes to AOL Fanhouse. Barnes does not expect the coach to pursue a lawsuit. “It’s hard. It’s definitely hard when the refs have it out for you, saying ‘Oh,…

Castrodale: Astros fans, foul balls and the relative health of chivalry
Aug 12, 2010, 2:00 PM EDT
If you look around your kitchen or rummage through your bathroom cabinets, you’ll notice that almost everything comes with a warning label, most of them heavy on exclamation points and imperative sentences that outline scenarios you hadn’t even considered. For example, you shouldn’t serve the shower gel as an appetizer or use Lysol to clean…

You wouldn’t think it was possible. Not at this point, not after he turned Evander Holyfield’s head into a tapas platter, after he retired to raise pigeons in suburban Arizona, after he gave himself the worst facial tattoo this side of Darth Maul. Not after his boxing career, after fifty-eight fights and three heavyweight titles…

Turf dancing is trending now, sure. But you shouldn’t do it in traffic. Hope you’re OK, dancing guy. And if you’re going to get hit, it might as well be by a truck carrying delicious corn. PROGRAM NOTE: Jelisa Castrodale is back with her regular Thursday column this week; see you there this afternoon. ……

Castrodale: T.O. hopes Bengals will let him play their reindeer games
Jul 30, 2010, 4:00 PM EDT
Every December, you can count on CBS to repeatedly air the stop-motion classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the one where the title mammal learns that puberty sucks so he tries to skip town with an elf who’d rather become a dentist than work in Santa’s sweatshop. Somewhere between the second commercial break and the…

Castrodale: Love him or hate him, John Daly has never deceived us
Jul 15, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
There are two rows of golfers standing in front of St. Andrews’ famed Royal and Ancient clubhouse, stiffly arranged like a windswept second grade class. Most of the men fall into either category: Royal, like Sir Nick Faldo, or Ancient, like 87-year old Roberto De Vicenzo, who has ear hair older than your parents. Their…
