(How nice am I for using former gladiator Gina Carano for the banner pic instead of Titan? That guy is gayer than Liberace cornholing a Care Bear.) American Gladiators was only ever successful in the highly competitive, Saturday-afternoon-between-football-games time slot.  NBC tried to run it at prime time in 2008 and it got canceled after 21...

Billy “I Own Four TV’s” Simmons had an article detailing the Pats 4th and 2 call from Sunday Night. It contains the usual assortment of Simmons arguments that he deems irrefutable. But forget all that. Look at this: Seattle loves me for defending its Sonics after Clay Bennett hijacked them and moved them elsewhere. If there...

Here’s Anaheim’s Scott Neidermayer trying to do something nice after his game against the Lightning, tossing a stick over the glass to a fan in the stands. But watch the asshole in the blue shirt trying to grab the stick from the intended receiver…and then gets pummeled in the process. And really, this is what the game is all...

With only two episodes of “Sons of Anarchy” remaining, “Mad Men” in mothballs until August, and “Friday Night Lights” relegated to DirecTV until next summer, we’re running dangerously low on quality dramas right now (Sorry, I don’t watch “Dexter.” File your complaint here). But at least...

Yesterday it was announced that Tony Dungy will head the Players Advisory Forum, a group that will serve as a intermediary between players who want to b*tch and the league executives who want to ignore them.

(Yes, the bear eats the script.  I’m hard right now.) Comedian T.J. Miller twice unsuccessfully auditioned for a part in the Yogi Bear movie, but thanks to this video audition he sent in, he scored the biggest casting coup since “Hey, Malkovich, think fast!” What better way to win the role of Ranger Jones in the Yogi Bear movie...
