    This Photograph Just Makes Me Want to Shampoo Something

    Here's Joe Namath in his glory days, with Farrah Fawcett on the arm, shag carpet on the chest, and a glint in his eye that tells the world, "You're mine, baby." Who else can pull of that type of confidence with just a simple glance? George Clooney? Obama? Baby Mangino? Not many. With Leather picked this up from Life magazine's pretty awesome Google picture album which is finally free from its dusty print archive. Go waste some time and plow through it. More »

    Phil Savage Finally Apologizes For His Impassioned Expletive in E-mail Freakout to Fan

    Well. Who would've thought a story like this could get so much attention? And, hey — even ESPN.com took off the web censors and let the AP's "as first reported by Deadspin.com" into its online copy. I'm flattered that they acknowledge our uncanny ability to carefully sift through our inbox. And now, Phil Savage has officially fessed up and apologized for using the dreaded F plus ampersands and exclamation marks to respond to an angry Browns fan:
    "It happened after the game," Savage in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "There had been previous e-mails from him over the months and enough was enough. We have both apologized to each other since. The Browns' fans have overwhelmingly been supportive of me over the past 3-plus seasons and I appreciate that greatly."

    Dim-Witted Donovan McNabb Sick Of Talking About Dim-Wittedness

    Obviously, I'm not happy about how things in Iggle-ville right now, but given my state of euphoria after a Phillies championship it's tough to get too angry about the dumbfounding dipshittery that has crippled this football team this year. Granted, the recent revelations about Donovan McNabb's complete lack of knowledge about the overtime rule are troubling, but really not that big of a deal. I'm a fan of Donovan and do think the Eagles are a better football team with him, even when he's taking out foot-long divots with his out-passes and vomiting in the huddle. After almost 10 years in the league, this is just a remarkable admission. Yesterday, McNabb joked about the incident, calling himself a "trendsetter" for being honest about his ignorance, which isn't going to go over too well in Philadelphia. (You can't blame the guy for trying to lighten the mood.)
    McNabb updated his Yardbarker blog today with another explanation: More »

    Phil Savage Is Probably Sorry For "F%&# You" Email To Fan

    Well, that didn't take long. Browns GM Phil Savage admitted he did in fact send a nasty email to a fan that was posted here last evening. According to the AP, Browns Coach Romeo Crennel was the one who confirmed:
    Crennel says he understands Savage's frustration and spoke with him Thursday about the incident. Crennel says it's unfortunate that it happened, adding "in tough times, tough things happen."

    Browns' GM Phil Savage Responds To Email Hecklers Swiftly, But Not Very Politely (UPDATE)

    As a person who gets tons of nasty email, I know it's tough to always show restraint and resist the urge to stick up for yourself. This practice is frowned upon, and not healthy, because, well, those emails could potentially come back to bite you in the ass. Plus, as a "professional" you're supposed to take the high road on such matters. This has to be a daily problem for sports executives, especially those who advertise their email to the public and then receive emails like this one which was sent on Monday night to Browns' GM Phil Savage from a disgruntled fan. (UPDATE: This email interaction was forwarded from WXDX in Pittsburgh. They talked about the email on air. Given that fact, skepticism about legitimacy of the email is warranted. Original emailer says it is true, but you know — these things can get out of control. So until I can find out whether or not this is the real deal — which may be hard, let's just keep this in the "might be a prank" file. Because some people are saying this is very out of character for Phil Savage. Also from the original person who sent the email to the Savage account: "It's an official address at Clevelandbrowns.com Who knows, maybe an intern checked it and flipped out. I've sent 2 flollow ups, one an apology and haven't heard anything back...." My gut? Probably the person in charge of fielding Phil Savage's email went a little haywire...). More »

    Oh...And About Simmons' Podcast: "He Told Me He Quit It"

    So, here's a little snippet of of information from an individual close to the ESPN/Simmons slap-fight. Remember last week, when we reported that ESPN insisted that there was nothing to the sudden disappearance of "The B.S. Report" and that, according to them, there's no smoke, fire, or truth to that rumor? Well, according to a person — let's just call them very, very close to the situation — that was, in itself, bullshit: More »

    Rick Telander Does Not Fear ESPN's Wrath -- But He Does Respect It

    In a tough economic market, you'll find many sports writers scaling back on their criticism for the sake of job security. Trying to garner attention through traditional shit-stirring isn't the best way to keep your self afloat right now — piss off the wrong source or anger enough readers and you may find yourself expendable. Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Mariotti-foil Rick Telander penned a column today about the WWL's acquisition of the BCS bowl games, but then veered into a somewhat dangerous territory of half-heartedly criticizing ESPN's steamrolling empire. He suggests the corporation has its tentacles around so many sportswriter's necks that there isn't anyone left to bitch about them besides the person they pay to do it, staff ombudsman Leanne Schreiber. Oh, and, so he says, "renegade bloggers", of course. Telander also mentions that he's worked for ESPN in the past and still pops up on "Rome Is Burning" every once in a while. So he doesn't exactly go after the network with knives out. No, instead he goes to the best source for truth (and bowel movement Facebook updates), Jason Whitlock: More »

    Today Is A Day You Can Easily Find Yourself Blinded By Erin Andrewsness

    First America's favorite sideline princess popped up on Dan Patrick's radio show, and playfully engaged in back-and-forth with her former ESPN co-worker about sideline horror stories, including the time that fleet-footed Joe Paterno blew right by her on the way to the locker room . Andrews also chatted with the lucky mutts at FirstCuts, and talked about her involvement with EA Sports' NCAA Basketball '09. She's polite and says nothing controversial as usual, yet this little anecdote about Kirk Herbstreit is kind of slash fiction-y when taken completely out of context: More »

    Brett Favre And Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum's Broseph Love Is Boundless and Obscenity-Laden

    The New York Jets were fired up after their victory over the dastardly Patriots last Thursday night and rightly so, considering all that was on the line. But no one was more excited than the ol' gunslinger, Brett Favre, who shared an unreserved embrace with Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum after the victory that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about both men. After the jump, enjoy their exchange in the tunnel at Gillette Stadium. Team Favre-rica.... More »

    David Wright's Dreaminess Almost Causes Cougar Riot

    Page Six is always searching for some way to put Mets' third baseman David Wright in the column and today has finally found a suitable angle to satisfy its gossip-hungry readership: an eyewitness account of Wright almost getting trampled by amorous old ladies. During his annual "Do The Wright Thing" event at the Hard Rock Cafe, the paper says that Wright was "mobbed by a swarm of trashy-looking cougars. Middle-age women with bad '80s hair were practically pushing down little kids who were trying to get baseballs signed." More »
