UFC's Chael Sonnen Creepily Ask "Can I Touch Your Hair" On Sports Center [VIDEO]

Dalton Castle — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:41:21 +0000

In MMA it’s important to keep an edge and have your opponent guessing all the time and Chael Sonnen is playing the “I’m a creepy hair fetish guy” approach for the ultimate psych out! Seriously though this is just as solid of an approach as my classic “get naked” psych out. No one wants to [...]

Dalton Castle — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:56:16 +0000

I’ve never won an AFC Champion ship. Nether have I none the disappointment and frustration of losing one. Sometimes people just get frustrated during interviews and after loosing a championship isn’t the best time to push buttons.

ESPN's Skip Bayless Gets Autotuned In Ultimate Tim Tebow Tribute [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 11:45:41 +0000

It's no secret that ESPN's Skip Bayless has a big time man crush on Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. He mentions him almost everyday on First Take and recently a montage of him hit the internet. DJ Steve Porter who brought us the Randy Moss "One Clap" video has now turned Bayless' Tebow love into a song. Who knew that behind that terribly annoying voice and opinion was the voice of an angel? It's not all Bayless though. This hot new jaunt also features the song stylings of Tebow himself, John Elway and Chris Carter.

ESPN's Tom Rinaldi Penn State, Ohio State Mix Up Fail [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:53:21 +0000

A big oops for ESPN reporter Tom Rinaldi. He mixes up Ohio State and Penn State when talking about the current scandal going on at Penn State. Ohio State had it's share of bad press earlier this year, so it was probably fresh in his head. It's pretty funny that he didn't correct himself, and said it twice. I'm sure an Ohio State official was sitting at home going, glad the heats off of us, then he heard and let out a "C'mon Man!'

ESPN's Kenny Mayny Screw Ups [VIDEO]

Q103 — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 20:23:56 +0000

It’s hard to tell if this is real or set up. But either way, it’s really funny! This is 2 years old, but for some reason it was trending on Youtube today. It obviously seems scripted, but it’s way too long to use for a Sports Center promo. I don’t know why they made it, [...]

Hank Williams Jr Bashes FOX News and ESPN With New Song "Keep The Change" [AUDIO]

BJ Ragone — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:37:46 +0000

Last week things got bad for Hank Williams Jr when he didn’t choose his words as carefully as he should have. So he did what he did best and went in to write a bad ass country rock song to stick it to the man. I grew up in the Helderberg Mountains in a little [...]

Hank Williams Jr.'s Monday Night Football Days Are Over – ESPN Pulls Opening After Controversial Comments

BJ Ragone — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 10:08:29 +0000

If you tuned into the Monday Night Football game last night between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Indianapolis Colts you may have noticed that something was missing at the beginning. That would be the signature "Are You Read for Some Football" opening by Hank Williams Jr., which will no longer be part of the programming due to Williams controversial comments about President Obama.

Ron Jaworski Drops S-Bomb During Monday Night Football Broadcast [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:54:30 +0000

Ever since Monday Night Football moved to ESPN in 2006 the play by play announcers just haven’t been as good as the old ABC lineup. Last night was another flub as former NFL QB and current ESPN NFL commentator Ron Jaworski let a curse word slip when talking about Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne. I [...]

Poker News

Now, the homes of some of the founders of each of these sites are having their [...]

Michael Vick Or Peyton Hillis On Cover of Madden 12

ESPN Sports Nation has been running a 32-player tournament style contest in which fans vote on who gets to be the cover player for the ‘Madden NFL 12′ video game, and controversial quarterback Michael Vick has reached the finals. Perhaps more surprisingly is that he will be facing off against Cleveland Browns running back Peyton [...]

The Best Rivalry Of All Time?

JMrozek — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 23:06:58 +0000

Many would say the Red Sox and Yankees. Depending on what part of the country you’re in some may opt for a football match up like the Bears and Packers, or the Cowboys and Redskins but when it comes down to it I’d have to go with Duke and North Carolina. First off, you’d have [...]

Football Is Gone–But Hoops Are Here

JMrozek — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 23:57:03 +0000

Football is by far my favorite sport to watch! But when it’s gone, I usually end up paying more attention to basketball. And with college hoops right in the middle of conference play, I find this the best time to really start getting in the swing of things. Besides, doesn’t sitting on the couch in front of [...]
