Talk about a climax: Viewers watching the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl on Comcast cable in Tucson, Ariz., saw 10 seconds of porn that somehow made its way onto the broadcast following Larry Fitzgerald’s dramatic 64-yard touchdown catch late in the game. (Link to video after the jump). Immediately following the TD, instead of […]

Former Detroit Lions general manager Matt Millen, fired after the franchise went 31-97 in his eight years, popped up on NBC as a guest analyst during the Super Bowl pregame show.

What has gotten the most attention, though, is Federer crying after the match and his statements about how tough the loss was. Nadal is now 13-6 in matches against Federer, and has beaten him […]

The British tabloid The News of the World is getting attention for its “scoop” that shows American swimmer Michael Phelps smoking pot at a party in Columbia, S.C., in November. The story was given a prominent link via red type on the Drudge Report. (Phelps has now apologized; see below) This is the astonishing picture […]

Spain’s Fernando Verdasco lost a five-set marathon semifinal match to Rafael Nadal in 5 hours, 14 minutes, the longest in the history of the Australian Open.

The Arizona Cardinals are playing the “no respect” card in the Super Bowl to the hilt, pointing out that President Barack Obama is rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dan Rooney, Steelers owner and lifelong Republican, was a key supporter of Obama in the election in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. In addition, Cardinals owner […]

Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe has denied he is gay, but has said that he is in love with someone from another country.

Johnny Weir, my favorite ice skater as much for his who-gives-a-damn personality as his skating talent, will not be going to the world figure skating championships after finishing fifth at this weekend’s nationals. Weir has been at worlds every year since 2003. Weir blamed the flu he been fighting for a month for his lackluster […]

One more sign that the Dallas Cowboys are the most dysfunctional, screwed-up team in the NFL is this rap video from tight end Martellus Bennett. He drops f-bombs and other naughty words in verse that can only be described as deranged. And in rhyming something with quarterback Tony Romo, he came up with (you guessed […]

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Flacco was among 11,000 people who plunged into the icy Chesapeake Bay this weekend to raise $2 million for charity in the Polar Bear Plunge. Alas, he wussed out and did not do the plunge shirtless. He also did not disclose if there was “shrinkage,” ala George Constanza. "It's a […]
