Hey Four Eyes!: 9 Athletes that Seriously Rocked Goggles
Guys who need glasses don’t comprise a huge portion of the athletic community. These pointdexters are more at home in a library or science lab than on the playing field.

Jock Civil Servants: 9 Pro Athletes Who Made the Leap to Politics
Many athletes in team sports are natural born leaders. When measured with the high levels of exposure they get playing on TV and their fanatic fan bases, it’s hard to believe that there actually aren’t more athletes in leadership roles in state and national capacities.

9 Common Sportscaster Clichés
This list could easily be one hundred entries long. It’s not that announcers are lazy, uneducated guys; by and large, they’re not.

21 Intentionally (and Unintentionally) Hilarious Sports Jerseys (Pics)
Jerseys are a double edged sword. In the right context, they’re a perfectly acceptable thing to wear. But in the wrong context, they make you look like a fool.

9 Regrettable Sports Fan Tattoos (Pics)
Sports loyalty is displayed in many ways. Many stupid, stupid ways. From painting your 1993 Mitsubishi 300GT silver and blue with the Cowboys star to naming your first son, born in 2005, Seamus David Ortiz McMulligan, the ability to cross the line from “tasteful support” to “clinical compulsion” gets grey in the realm of tattoos.

9 Most Iconic Songs from the World of Sports (Audio)
While there are a few exceptions (“One Shining Moment” at the end of CBS’ NCAA tourney coverage comes to mind), most of the songs we equate with sports are the soundtracks to the arenas and stadiums where we go to see live events. While variety isn’t exactly the name of the game when it comes [...]

9 Douchebags Wearing Starter Jackets
Few things are more comical than outdated fashions. And while someone’s high school yearbook photo from 1976 might have them in an afro and a corduroy jacket, it’s far funnier to see people in the ridiculous fashions of the recent past. One prime example of this is the Starter jacket, which were generally huge, bright [...]

Whenever we get too comfortable with the job our referees are doing, there’s always a play like the one in yesterday’s in Bears/Lions game to shake things up and merit new discussions on how much our refs suck.

9 Reasons Why Reggie Bush Should Keep His Heisman
Over the past few weeks, you couldn’t swing a dead virtual cat on the Internet without hitting a story on the Reggie Bush Heisman scandal/decision.

9 Reasons Madden Football is Better Than the NFL
The NFL is great. But the NFL as played in the Madden franchise of video games has surpassed it. It’s time the real NFL fired their human players and made the switch to a 100% digital league. It would do wonders for the salary cap. Am I being serious. My heart says no, but this [...]

9 NFL Teams to Watch in 2010
Over the course of the past decade, parity in the NFL has all but killed the idea of an underdog. Thanks to obsessive fantasy football and absurd amounts of preseason analysis, enough homework gets done every summer that predictions and expectations generally don’t yield many surprises at the end of the season. I inserted the [...]

It is estimated that there are nearly 30 million fantasy football players in the United States. We estimate that at least 20 million of them are total douchebags.

9 Colleges with the Hottest Sports Fans
While most every state school has its share of talent due to enrollment alone, what we are looking for in this list is concentration of talent. I’m sure Amherst has some hot girls, but if you go to one of their football games, are you going to feel awash in a sea of hotties? Probably [...]
