Now The Fun Stuff

Friday, November 6th, 2009

One of the great things about living in New York is that sometimes you get home and there's a homeless man peeing in the vestibule of your apartment building. Another great thing is that when your favorite team wins a Championship, they quickly make the rounds on the late night TV ...

The Crackle Endorses

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

It was just about one year ago that SportsCracklePop decided to issue its first ever endorsement.  And based almost entirely on that internet posting, Barack Obama went on to be elected President of the United States. Well, election day is fast approaching. There are important races all over the nation which ...

This Bud’s Not Wiser (Get It?)

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Did you see the baseball commissioner on Letterman last night? Of course you didn't.  If you're a baseball fan, you were probably watching the World Series at that time. If this putz wanted to use a letterman appearance to create attention for the Fall Classic, he probably should have done it ...

Yet Another Athlete in Trouble With The Law

Admit it. You can't watch the Lakers without thinking how disgusting it must be to rub up against Pau Gasol while he's out there sweating through his neck beard. Well, it looks like all that shedding of DNA is about to get him into some trouble.  Not real trouble, mind you. ...

Remember the last time Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield got together? Well, now they're getting back together. And it's possible these circumstances are even weirder. The former champs are both going to appear... on OPRAH!

Is it too late for TBS to replace Chip Caray?

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

I don't know what I found more amusing last night, the actual Tigers/Twins game or the number of "fisted" references made by Chip Caray. How many times does it take for you to say the same word over and over again before realizing that you possibly use it too much? ...

Boomer and Jimmy

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

David Wells was on Jimmy Fallon last night. I know some people don't like Fallon, but I think his show has developed into a really great late night program. Lots of postmodern jokes, which are designed to laugh at themselves. I love it. Stay up late tonight and tune in. Watch ...

Apollo Creed Shaved His Dong

Who else watched Michael Strahan's debut as a Thespian?  What? Just me?  You didn't sit home on a Friday night specifically to watch a former football star portray a former football star on an awkward Fox sitcom? Here are some impressions:
