    Gun Safety Tips From Plaxico Burress

    If you're looking for a bedtime story for your children tonight, may we suggest the felony criminal complaint of one Plaxico M. Burress. (It needs the initial, don't you think?) It's very short, but also very compelling and there's a life lesson in there for all of us. Namely, put down the wine before "fidgeting" with your waistband. Our favorite moment: "Informant then heard a 'pop' sound and defendant stated in substance 'Take me to a hospital.'" Am I the only one who wants to see this scene re-enacted with the robots from Wall-E? More »

    Plaxico Burress Update: He Still Has A Hole In His Leg

    Do you remember a couple of years ago when Dick Cheney shot that guy and the basic facts of story were so utterly ridiculous that all you had to do was say "The Vice President of the United States shot a man in the face" and that counted as both a joke and a serious analysis of the situation? That's kind of what this Plaxico Burress story is like. What else is there say? (There's plenty, actually, if you really want to read it.) More »

    This Is How Quickly A Game Can Turn

    Last night, after a ridiculously silly personal foul penalty by Benny Sapp kept a Chicago drive alive, the Bears found themselves at the one-yard line with a 7-3 lead late in the first-half. A field goal would have given them a nice advantage heading toward halftime, while a touchdown would have put them in command of the game. Literally one minute later (and about three seconds later in game clock time) the Bears were down 10-7 and on their way to second place in the standings behind the Minnesota Vikings. More »

    Brian Piccolo Would Have Brought World Peace by 1994

    In a story ostensibly about Lee Corso's shyness about being the recruiter to bring the first black athlete into the ACC back in '63 (and, yes, you should take a few moments to consider that) and chock full o'quotes from Corso deflecting credit, we are reminded yet again that Brian Piccolo (of "Brian's Song" fame) was the baddest man on the south (Loop) side of Chicago, Leroy Brown aside. All he did was silence thousands of racist Wake Forest students with one move. More »

    Eric Moulds Allegedly Gives Autograph Seeker Knuckle Sandwich, No Autograph

    A combination of WGR-550 AM in Buffalo and the Buffalo News (as collated by First Time Caller, Long Time Listener) have reported that Eric Moulds, former Bills wide receiver, allegedly slugged a man in the face early Friday morning because he wouldn't step the hell off and stop asking him for an autograph and telling him how great he was. We did the same at Will Leitch's book signing in Chicago last winter, though we should point out we didn't hit anyone with our blogging hand. That's the moneymaker. More »

    Jay Cutler Continues To Compare Himself Favourably to Other Quarterbacks

    I can't be the only one praying that Jay Cutler keeps getting better and better, solely in the hopes that there is a corresponding escalation in the people he will publicly declare himself better than: "Sure, Mother Theresa helped a lot of people, but last time I checked, she never once threw for 4,000 yards". For now, though, he's still focusing his opinions on other quarterbacks. The latest? Why, that would be his Sunday counterpart, Brett Favre: More »

    Your Plaxico Burress Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound Update

    So a few more details seem to be emerging about the bizarre "Plaxico shot himself at a club" story. The New York Post is now reporting that the incident took place just after midnight on Friday at a club called Latin Quarter in Manhattan, while Plax was out on the town with teammate Antonio Pierce. I suggest you read the rest of the story with the Benny Hill theme playing in the background: More »

    UPDATE: New Orleans Saints Drop a Deuce, But It Isn't McAllister


    Let it be known to New Orleans Saints' owner Tom Benson: your players will not tolerate you intra-business whoring. It seems Mr. Benson has this habit of bringing cars from the many dealerships he owns to the Saints' practice facility, and then trying to sell those cars to his players. It also seems that certain of his players don't like being sold to. So prior to last Monday's home win over the Packers, they did what most people would do in the same situation: they smeared shit on their boss's cars. Human shit! More »

    Deion Sanders Forces Philly Fans to Engage in Some Long-Overdue Self-Reflection


    This news is a bit old, but you're probably still so doped up on tryptophan at the moment that you won't know the difference. Deion Sanders had some not-so-nice words for Eagles fans following Philly's big Thanksgiving Day rout of the Cardinals. During the NFL Network's postgame interview with Donovan McNabb, Prime Time took exception to what he deemd to be fairweather treatment of the QB by the Philadelphia faithful. Seems some fans stuck around for the interview to cheer their beleaguered star's four touchdown performance, but Sanders was having none of it: More »
