With news circulating that Klinsi has all but donned red, white, and blue, he has now withdrawn his name from further consideration.

Belichick Call Questioned in Pats' Loss to Colts

Anyone who says it's a bad call doesn't understand football.

Dodgers Sweep Cardinals, Advance to NLCS

You can pull your pants back up, Bo, I wasn't asking anybody to measure.

Dodgers Sweep Cardinals, Advance to NLCS

I'm a Giants fan living in St. Louis, so naturally I was pulling for the Cardinals in this one.

As soon as the game was over, the roads were crowded and people were trying to forget this ever happened.

Well, at least I'll stop hearing the "best fans in baseball", self-congratulations that this city absolutely revels in for a couple of months.

Native Americans Ask Supreme Court to Sack Redskins Trademark

My wife called me coonass tonight and I gave her the dirtiest look I've probably ever given her.

The pains of being part Cajun.

ESPN2 Will Air Premiership Opener, Saturday Matches

You mean you didn't enjoy his little headset?

I felt he should have been promoting synergy, asking for 110% effort.

Tebow, McCoy, Bradford have Florida, Texas, Oklahoma 1-2-3

Bragging rights and bulletin board fodder. The whole "Nobody believes in us!" nonsense that doesn't make much sense if you're ranked in the top ten nationally.

David Beckham: Landon Donovan's 'Unprofessional'

However, that's not to say that Beckham is without blame. Beckham has hardly been the consummate professional on these shores with the way he's carried himself both on and off the pitch.

David Beckham: Landon Donovan's 'Unprofessional'

I think Landon should have put on his big boy pants well before Beckham came to the Galaxy. He might have found himself lasting longer at Leverkusen to begin with and might have avoided a very public row with one of the game's most recognizable faces.

Iranian Soccer Players Wear Green Protest Arm Bands

Also amusing is the same people who said we need to "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" are the ones saying we need to intervene in the Iranian elections and be bold and do something.

Operation Tango

I've heard that the media had reported Dundee United scored, but that goal had been disallowed.

And with as many Man United supporters who hang around the Man City forums, I imagine there are just as many Celtic supporters who keep up to the Rangers going ons at FollowFollow where the prank was allegedly hatched.

Oshie for Mayor

As a resident of St. Charles County, I applaud this fan.

I disown the county election director. Fucking tool. It's the concept of the letter of the law superseding the spirit of the law. JESUS WOULD NOT BE PLEASED.

A Prayer for the Tampa Bay Rays

I've been following the Giants nearly all of my rooting life.

I wish nothing but the best for the Rays.

Manchester City make it the Big Five.

I've been following City through three divisions of English football, with the nagging reminder that we haven't won a legitimate trophy since the 1976 League Cup and a major trophy since the 1969 FA Cup. It's been rough. Ten years ago we were in Division Two. Just ten years ago. Now look.

Sure, Liverpool and Man United supporters will say you can't buy history, but you know what? We just bought a future.
