Naturally, there’s been a lot of talk about Saints kicker Garrett Hartley missing what would have been a game winning, dome-assisted, 29 yard chip shot against the Falcons yesterday in New Orleans. Just a week after being named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, it might cost Hartley his job. There still might be [...]

The Auburn Store: Where Little Crimson Tide Fans Get Put in a Hellish Timeout
Given I wasn’t raised in or particularly near a hotbed of professional franchises, I may be a bit biased, but - for me - there’s nothing quite like a great college sports rivalry. There’s really too many established ones out there to try and list or flippantly single out some over others, and maybe that [...]

Mike Leach: Color Arrrghnalyst
Hmmm, former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach. So much comes to mind: Offensive genius. Cruel, draconian task master of Adam James. Lover of all things pirate. And now, forevermore, CBS College Football color analyst. Yes, Mike Leach made his in-game analyst debut during CBS’ Saturday evening coverage of the N.C. State-Central Florida game down in [...]

Tentative Predictions: Week 2
Tentative Predictions. They’re kind of like “Fearless” predictions, except we’d never advocate laying real money down — tisk, tisk: gambling is likely illegal in your great State, Frumpster — and we actually provide our readers with some ways to rationalize failure should these picks not come through. College Football’s opening weekend saw Frump go a [...]

Ahda Roomsman Wants to Help You Throw Down Some of the Nastiest Dunks You, Your Best Friends, and the Courts Have Ever Seen
The Gingerhead Man linked me to a nice little video of The 50 Best Dunks in College Basketball History today. Pretty dang good, I must say, and we thank Jeff Eisenberg (via Slam Online) for that. Naturally, this led to a discussion about who the greatest dunker we’d ever seen play in person was. It [...]

Insane Clown Posse wants to put a little something in your hot dog buns…
Hard to know where to start with this one. Now, I’m not sure if it necessarily rises to the level of unintentional hilarity that “Miracles” did, but in terms of WTF Factor, we may have a contender. Let’s just say you should keep a very close eye on your hot dog if you ever happen [...]

Glory Holes Rampant on LSU’s Campus
As if LSU officials, staff, and faithful didn’t have enough on their hands with preparing for this weekend’s college football opener against UNC, it now appears that combating the blight of “Glory Holes” has been added to the University’s agenda. Glory Holes — as defined in an article in LSU’s Daily Reveille — are holes [...]

Hitler is told about the UNC investigation…
The NCAA’s investigation of alleged improprieties within North Carolina’s football program is a hot topic as of late. Depending on the source, the extent of the violations could result in anywhere between 3 to 16 players being suspended indefinitely, many important starters included. Now, while many UNC fans may flippantly dismiss the gravity of all [...]

Lobsters…WOW!
Ahhh, youth. It really is wasted on the young, ya know. At least for the most part. There are exceptions, of course, as you’ll see below. This young lad ain’t taking anything for granted, nor should he…

How to blow a Vuvuzela
The World Cup may be over, but, God bless it, whether perceived as aural ecstasy or a hellacious case of tinnitus, there’s no denying that the ubiquitous call of the now internationally infamous vuvuzela lives on in the minds and eardrums of millions. Thankfully — though one would think that what’s essentially a roided up [...]

Cristiano Ronaldo Comes Out of the….I Mean, Becomes A Dad
Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup with Portugal ended last week thanks to David Villa and Spain, however he is now embarking on a new chapter in his life. The Real Madrid star announced Saturday that he is going to be a proud papa! Just not the way you would’ve assumed. Allegedly, his son was born via [...]

Farewell Fowler
Today was NCSU Athletic Director Lee Fowler’s last day in office and we at Frumpzilla would like to bid him farewell. Just as his card reads(presumably from his daughter), “May you prosper in all that you do, wherever you turn”. As long as that isn’t in Raleigh, because let’s face it, Yow is the time [...]

So Long, Simão Sabrosa…
Well, at least to your World Cup days (most likely). Yes, one of the most recognizable and prolific Portuguese players of his generation, Simão will be pushing 35 years of age by the time we reach Rio in 2014. Now, that doesn’t mean a 3rd World Cup appearance — a 4th if not for an [...]
