Our boy Larry Johnson is back in the news, because when you start calling people “fags” left and right in the middle of the worst season by a starting running back in NFL history, well, you get to be in the news.

Hey man. You cool? You look cool, man. Don’t be narc-ing on me or nothin’, all right? Let’s all just be cool. You got any of the good stuff on you? Aw man, you’re sober? Here? Now? Too bad, man, you’re totally missing out.

Anyone whose favorite teams are part of a storied rivalry knows that half the fun of being a sports fan is in demonizing opposing fans (sorry, fans of expansion teams, if you have no idea what we’re talking about here).

The Washington Capitals are 35 years old. Don’t you think it’s about time they get interested in women? Fortunately for all you D.C.-area hockey-lovin’ ladies, they finally are.
The Caps have established Club Scarlet, a fan club focusing primarily on the female supporters of their NHL franchise. Claiming a membership of over 2,000 fans, the club […]
