Amazingly, after hundreds and hundreds of picks, we’re left with just one fan in the lead with one game to go.

I really wish I hadn’t used “carnage” to describe last week—it fits soooo much better for week 2.
Only one Manning advances and it’s Eli? I’m pretty sure if you’re the defending champs and Billy Volek beats you (and that’s without the help of L.T.) you’re relegated to Arena Football. And for the Cowboys? Well…wait…you hear that? That’s the sound of Jessica Simpson’s house being lit on fire.
Anyways, after 2 weeks I’m still stinkin’ it up, but we have eight folks tied for the lead with 6 wins. No one has gotten them all right so the $50 Grand Prize is gone (whew!), but RUWT? shwag and bragging rights galore are still up for grabs.

This didn’t quite make the cut for the headline image for tonight’s Giants vs. Cowboys game, but it was too good not to share.
We’re just four games into our first NFL Playoff Challenge and I’m already batting a measly .500. Way to go Mark. Thankfully there are nine people to show me how it’s done.
We have another batch of four games this weekend so we may see a totally different batch of leaders next Monday. Forget what’s at stake? Get a recap.

I joined my first Fantasy Football league last year to find out what the hubbub was all about. It didn’t take long for me to get hooked.
Fast-forward to this year, I’m in the finals and tonight’s MNF game will decide it. On the line? About 300 units of pride, kids.
I’m up 11 points on my opponent and we each have one player left. He has Brandon Marshall, the streaky second-year receiver that has been on a tear as of late. Who do I have? Nate Kaeding. That’s right America, my last hope for the title is riding on my kicker.
Come on Santa, you’ve got to have a 6 field goal game from Kaeding somewhere in that bag…
update: i won. that pretty much makes me the smartest man alive…or something like that.
I hope that features will be coming out fast and furiously over the next few weeks, but tonight I’m making sure everyone knows about an oft-overlooked one.
There’s a football game on tonight. Yes, I know most people can’t see it because of this NFL Network foolishness (I’m looking at you too Big 10 Network!), and granted Broncos vs. Texans isn’t exactly must-see TV (it’s Cutler vs. Rosenfels, people!), it’s a slow night in the sports world so you may be wondering where you can see it.
Before you hop in the car and head to the nearest sports bar, remember you can click on “Airings” on any game page and see which of your buddies has the game on TV, and more importantly, whose couch you need to invite yourself to.
Sure, you can get Social Networking anywhere, but how many sites give you Couch Networking? Thought so. Don’t forget who loves ya baby.
It’s Friday.
In celebration I give you Justin Timberlake shotgunning a can of Miller Lite before a Packers game.
In this spectacular, space-time continuum threatening moment, it simultaneously has nothing to do with sports and everything to do with sports.

Hey folks, hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. You’ll notice that this week’s YouTube Tuesday is actually happening on Wednesday. Crying foul? Well, go back to the first sentence. It was Memorial Day. And just like garbage pickup, everything shifts a day. Don’t buy that excuse? Well you obviously hate America.
This week’s video was an easy choice after hearing about the United Football League. That’s right folks, Bill Hambrecht, a “rich old Wall Street guy” is teaming up with rebel Mark Cuban (eyeing the Vegas franchise) to start a new football league directly opposing the NFL. They’re aiming to kick off in August 2008, and the plan is to televise games on Friday nights, targeting cities currently without a pro team—all they need is 7 more billionaires to hop on board. The NFL has swatted off four competitors and it’s hard to imagine this crew breaking through, but if I get to watch a pro game in Vegas or we get even one “He Hate Me“, it’ll probably be worth it.
