New Video: Berman’s Handy Drug Smuggling Tips

Brian Powell at AWFUL ANNOUNCING tips us off to the latest video posted on the stealth YouTube acccount featuring all those kooky Chris Berman videos.

The just-posted clip shows Berman advising his Monday Night Football camera crew on how to smuggle drugs over the Canadian border. OK, it’s only juiced-up aspirin (called “222s”), but you […]

Perhaps Clemens Ate Too Much Chinese Chicken

With their statistical defense having already been shot down, perhaps Roger Clemens’ lawyers will turn to the new fad in performance-enhancing drug refutation: Chinese chicken.
They’re loaded with steroids, apparently.

But seriously, this is real. And it’s a problem for Olympic athletes. The U.S. is taking rather extraordinary measures to ensure none of its athletes will test […]

Pro Bowl Wagering: Last Step Before Intervention

The betting windows presumably closed about 20 minutes ago. Up until then, however, you could have put some action on a multitude of things related to the Pro Bowl. Yes, the Pro Bowl. If you did that? This is you:

I’m not here to judge you. I’m just saying that the question of whether the NFC […]

Spygate Central Figure Enjoys Golf, Bobsledding

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS caught up with Matt Walsh, the Patriots video guy who could, oh, bring a dynasty down. You’ll recall he works as a golf pro in Hawaii, site of today’s Pro Bowl. He looks like a really aggressive kind of guy. He means business. Yes?

Raise your hand if you figured Kevin Hart would pretty much be doomed once he set foot back in his high school. I mean, you don’t fake a Division I football signing and get off clean, right? Right?

Wrong. Go ahead and check out this local TV report.

The Dump: There Can Never Be Too Much Berman

• BUSTED COVERAGE says it has interviewed the YouTube poster who put up four of the five now-famous Chris Berman videos. It kind of reads like an interview with a 14-year-old athlete, and I have no way of verifying the authenticity, but it’s worth a look. You’re with me, beard.

Patriots Fan’s Petition Has Fallen Into Right Hands

In case you hadn’t heard yet, some Patriots fan has put together a petition asking the NFL to take a good, hard look at the final 1 minute, 40 seconds of the Super Bowl, which apparently contain some gross injustices. Like, for instance, his team lost.
This is very real (the gentleman’s name and, yes, e-mail […]

Monday Night Football Treats Objects Like Women

A media source has told PRO FOOTBALL TALK that Michele Tafoya and Suzy Kolber will no longer be part of the Monday Night Football crew.

The reasons aren’t entirely clear, but it definitely strikes a little gender imbalance into the crew.
No more boy-girl-boy-girl-boy pictures, at least for now. We can at least hope they work a […]

Jim Zorn To Improve On Throwing & Handing Off

The Washington Redskins’ promotion of Jim Zorn — who until Jan. 26 had never even been an offensive coordinator — certainly turned some heads yesterday.
HOGS HAVEN has a good reckoning of reactions from interested blogging parties. But we’re here to say this: the skeptics might not have all the facts.

Natalie Gulbis Wants To Be On Vijay Singh’s Bag

Nothing like starting the day by taking an innocent photo and taking it completely out of context. Right? Yes indeed. Natalie Gulbis — also known as, “Yes” — did some caddying at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The work was for amateur Ted Forstmann, and blah blah blah, here she is walking with Vijay Singh.
