Brett Favre In “Man Getting Hit By Football”

Posted 10/14/2010 6:30 am by

Brett Favre has been in the news a lot lately, but not for his on-the-field exploits.  It’s more like his off-the-field sextsploits that get Favre media attention these days (because he’s been terrible on the field and should have stayed retired).  Now, I’ve avoided covering Brett Favre’s groin until now, but finally something happened with […]

Mascot On Mascot Violence

Posted 9/21/2010 8:00 am by

I love it when a plan comes together.  I also love it when men in giant foam rubber animal suits with over-sized heads fight one another.  It goes without saying that I love the conspiracy of how and why Brandon Hanning became the Ohio University mascot.  He had one good reason:  Hanning simply wanted to […]

Guns N’ Roses hasn’t had a trouble-free concert tour in, well… probably ever.  Throughout the band’s history, there’s always been some kind of drama, from the band’s perennial lateness, to cutting gigs short early, being cut off by promoters, and even starting riots.  GNR, in some sense, is the last real rock band, because they’re […]
