Could you have ever imagined Kim Jong Il coming up in a discussion about the race for the Heisman Trophy? (Hold up on Clausen for a second, let me finish …)

(Ingram claims he shot a 69 in 8th grade, still 35 shots shy of Kim)

In our last episode, Pepe the Witch, a sorcerer from the Málaga Province in Spain, announced that he had placed a voodoo curse in Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo that was responsible for the soccer star’s recent ankle injury. But why would Pepe do such a thing? He’s always been a benevolent witch, using his powers […]

How strange an opening season has it been for the new Yankee Stadium? The ticket prices were so astronomical that thousands of empty seats remained even in the playoffs, Peter Gammons called it the biggest joke in baseball, and they served hot dog buns that were apparently cooked when Babe Ruth built their last stadium. […]

We finally have some on-the-record reaction from Jimmy Clausen and Rich Gunnell after their confrontation following ND’s 20-16 win over BC last Saturday.

(Clausen a “phony”? Mr. Gunnell, get in line)
Clausen said this week that he did his best to avoid what happened: “I was just going up to him to say he’s a heck […]

She’s still being charged with soliciting for prostitution, but Susan Finkelstein will go to Game 3 of the World Series before she heads to court, courtesy of a Philadelphia radio station. Finkelstein, you may recall, was arrested for allegedly offering sex acts in exchange for Series tickets in an ad she placed on Craigslist.

But radio […]

As we mentioned a couple months ago, Bob Knight will finally be enshrined into the Indiana University Hall of Fame in November. Though we’re sure hostilities linger on both sides of the fight after Knight’s acrimonious departure, this would be as good a time as any to bury the hatchet and act like adults for […]
