Being a backup quarterback for a small-market NFL team is somewhat of a thankless job, albeit a thankless job that pays millions of dollars. You practice just as hard as your more talented counterparts, but the only time you get in a game is when the outcome is already decided or someone better than you [...]

TMZ reports last night Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson and Michael Strahan all “boozed” together at one of my favorite Hollywood haunts (really), The Belmont on La Cienega Blvd.:

(What I need: Pitbull flunky friends like Terry!)
They don’t just show up on Sundays and pretend to like each other — the guys from the NFL on [...]

By now I’m sure you’ve heard of Jay Glazer’s report on Fox-TV about Brett Favre providing tips on the Packers to the Lions early this season. Since the report came out, there’s been lotsa discussion about it’s veracity. (Favre has denied it.)

And now Mike Florio at PRO FOOTBALL TALK is reporting that ESPN is not [...]

The sports business industry’s magazine of record, SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, has a feature today on must-visit sports websites, and I’m happy to report that SbB is prominently featured:

The piece is preceded with this description: “We have our own must-read sports destinations on the Web, and we asked others for their list of hot reads.”

We now know there are at least three different Paige Greens floating around on the internet. One is the former Raiders cheerleader who will soon marry John Elway.

Jay Glazer reports on Fox Sports Radio late Sunday night that Lane Kiffin’s coaching career is about to take off, as he will be fired by Al Davis on Monday.

Glazer to FSR’s John Fricke and Chris Landry: “Al has told his cronies he will fire Lane Kiffin as early as tomorrow. … He couldn’t do [...]

The U.S. Open is underway and Ana Ivanovic is, of course, everyone’s favorite.

Some even like her tennis game. If she bags a few more Majors, she has the chance to become an iconic figure in tennis and pop culture here stateside, thanks to her striking looks and disarming personality. But for Ana to win, she’ll [...]

So who was the big winner in the Brett Favre sweepstakes? The New York Jets, for suddenly becoming relevant and upgrading from Chad Pennington to perhaps the best quarterback ever? Favre, for getting his wish to play and start this season? Or Jay Glazer, for breaking the news of the trade despite ESPN having dispatched [...]

As we enter day number 4,320 of the Brett Favre Saga in Green Bay, all signs are starting to point to Favre not playing for the Green Bay Packers this season. Sure, he’s in camp with them, but he doesn’t want to be there and they don’t want him there. It’s kind [...]

Jay Glazer, the official retirement announcer for Michael Strahans everywhere, dropped the bomb on Dan Patrick’s radio show yesterday by letting the world know that Cedric Benson’s teammates tried to injure him in training camp in 2006 to allow Thomas Jones to start for the Super Bowl-bound Chicago Bears.

(We’re pretty sure we know how this [...]
