In honor of my old pal White Fred this column is for a person who is awful at their job and isn’t aware of it.
This week’s honor goes to a man who learned from the best a good coach a football coach Rick Neuheisel at both Washington and Colorado but now hangs his hat at [...]

As an update to my last post on Gina Carano – and as I saw on the always entertaining SPORTSbyBROOKS – the former Gladiator has posed topless on the cover of the ESPN the Magazine “Body Issue” -
I stopped subscriping to ESPN the Mag about 3 years ago since it is a giant piece of [...]

If you’ve never watched a game on Fox College Sports you probably aren’t alone. I didn’t even know if I had the channel until my beloved alma mater was going up against Iowa State in an afternoon Big 12 cripple fight. The broadcast has been pretty much what I’ve expected – Dan McLaughlin does the [...]

Lou Holtz has publicly denied any intention to run for Congress, stating he will stay at ESPN. This means more annoying “Dr. Lou” segements with bizarre Stuart Smalley-like unqualified counseling and less social and civic progession for the orange race. The next best hope for the orange is a possible George Hamiliton presidential run in [...]

ESPN and the Associated Press reported earlier this morning that Steve McNair had alcohol in his system at the time of his death with the headline “McNair Twice The Legal Limit At Time Of Death” or something very similar.

Reports are that Michael Phelps will sign his first endorsment deal since photographs of him smoking “the pot” (as Katie Couric so lovingly refers to it) were released last year. No, all you jokesters, it isn’t a new multi-year deal with High Times magazine, Captain Crunch, or Trails.
The new deal will be with H20 Audio, a [...]

The first rule of journalism is “Don’t get involved with a newspaper.” The second rule is “Don’t become part of the story.” ESPN violates this rule more than any media outlet except for MTV (to the extent you can call it a news gathering station). In yet another egregious violation, “Outside The Lines” has reportedly contributed to Tennessee’s [...]

Brett Fav-ra coverage made this blog into what it is today — a relatively anonymous, derivative, and Arizona-centric wasteland for the English language. Because of this, it is incumbent upon someone at SoD to provide commentary on No. 4’s recent surgery and impending epic failure career with the Vikings. Thus, a dramatization of the inevitable Peter King-Brett Favre [...]

I promised myself I wouldn’t use this blog to blatantly attack people when they don’t agree with my obvious biases – wait! It’s the exact opposite! So guess what? Tim Hasselback – you’re a sucky loser.
If you missed it – and you probably did – Mr. Elizabeth Hasselback is apparently now an analyst [...]
