SNL Takes On Rutgers And Mike Rice With Melissa McCarthy
The hot topic of the week was not the on-court battle for a slot in the NCAA Men’s Championship. Unfortunately, the NCAA was front and center for a negative topic, as video surfaced of Rutgers (now former) coach Mike Rice berating and physically confronting players. In a quick turnaround, Saturday Night Live put together a […]

Jay Mohr Sports on FOX Sports Radio: The Ode To Opening Day
FOX Sports Radio host Jay Mohr took his show to Dodger Stadium to celebrate the opening of another baseball campaign. You know the comedic chops.

Man Arrested For Stealing A Truckload Of Cheese: Intent To Distribute
I saw the headline and had to distribute. A man was arrested in New Jersey after swiping a whopping 21 tons of cheese from a Wisconsin dairy. I understand how someone in desperate times could leap behind the wheel of a truck carrying televisions, computers and gadgets. When I first read the headline, I thought […]
We Can Rebuild Him: Fans Remember Scott Hall
I remember having a friend text me about a segment produced on the ESPN “E60” show in late-2011. It chronicled the career and struggles of Scott Hall, known as “Razor Ramon” in the WWF (now WWE) and part of the nWo with Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash. Naturally, the success of the movie “The Wrestler” […]
Why SXSW Rules: The Afghan Whigs and Usher Rock for The Fader & Converse
Every year, fans flock to Austin for what has become a fascinating mix of film and music. When the schedule gets released, travel plans come together and lobbying for tickets to the different venues begins in earnest. This year, fans celebrated the announcement of Prince as the headliner for Saturday’s activity. He gave a huge […]
Who Says Spring Practice Is Boring? Head to THE Ohio State, Sunshine
I saw this the other day and thought I’d circle back to it. It’s never too early to have a coach barking at you. And, as always, it comes down to kickers. Enjoy this stretching session at a spring practice.
Zubaz: I Don’t Have to Say Anything Else
What do I need to say? Doesn’t the title of this post capture it all? I saw them on sale during Super Bowl week in New Orleans. And, of course, I saw them on Bourbon Street when Baltimore fans invaded the city. The New York Times featured Zubaz on Wednesday, prompting memories of old school […]
NASCAR Announces That James Franco Will Serve As Grand Marshal
It’s that time of year again. The dust has settled on Super Bowl XLVII, though the advent of this week’s NFL Combine puts the spotlight on the next class of would-be heroes. The NCAA Tournament is still one month from tipping off and the NBA and NHL Playoffs are still some two months away. I […]
Savannah State Students Catch The Super Bowl: For Free?
This video has been making the rounds over the past 72 hours. Evidently, a couple of Savannah State students decided to make a play at getting into Super Bowl XLVII … for free. I guess the old story of “act as if” applied here. “We’re filming a documentary.” At several points in the short short […]
Beyonce Channels Bill O’Reilly: “We’ll Do It Live!”
They call it “owning the moment.” Beyonce took to the stage for a press conference at the New Orleans Convention Center to talk about her upcoming appearance as the halftime performer for Super Bowl XLVII. Instead of opening the floor to questions immediately, the savvy singer asked attendees to stand and promptly belted out a […]
Flight Delayed by Mandy Patinkin: Well, His Image
I’ll get back to the football breakdown and the myriad storylines heading toward our journey in New Orleans. Trust me. There are far more stories to explore and data points to review that the battle between the Harbaugh brothers or the neverending retirement of Ray Lewis. I take pause for a moment to share a […]
International Arrest Warrants Issued For Garlic Smuggling Ring
The headline drew me in, but this was a much bigger, more expansive operation than I could have imagined. Sweden issued international arrest warrants for a pair of smugglers who circumvented the customs process to the tune of $13.1 million in taxes over a two-year period. That’s right. The smugglers moved large shipments of Chinese […]
Something About “Men”: Angus Jones Bashes CBS Sitcom
In a recent video posting by the Forerunner Christian Church, the longtime co-star of “Two and a Half Men” opens up with his thoughts on the hit sitcom. Angus T. Jones, who plays “Jake,” derides the sitcom in no uncertain terms. He ties the show’s content to religious themes. “You cannot be a true, God-fearing […]
Topanga, Topanga, Topanga: A New Run At “Boy Meets World”
Listeners to our FOX Sports Radio show on Sunday mornings (9am-12pm ET), “The Fantasy Freaks,” and fanboys who spend time thinking of the leading ladies from their favorite Saturday morning or prime time shows will celebrate. The glory of television syndication allows us to revisit the past and celebrate those shows (catch BMW on MTV2). […]
Reality Check: Louis C.K. Describes NYC Post-Sandy
Louis C.K. will host Saturday Night Live this evening. The white-hot comedian has the honor and the pressure of delivering in a big spot. I remember Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and representatives from the NYPD and NYFD appearing on the post-911 Saturday Night Live as a very powerful moment. Some 11 years later, the people of […]
Vice Squad: Between The Sheets OR Betting Sheets?
I read this piece this morning and just had to extend its reach to the masses. Perhaps that was a bad line, but I thought this was a win. Frequent guest on my Sunday morning show on FOX Sports Radio, Todd Fuhrman, tossed up a column comparing two of the world’s greatest pastimes while offering […]
Harmon’s Preliminary Week 6 Fantasy Rankings
The time has come for the next round of dominance in fantasyland. Remember, you’ve got several teams OFF this week. The Bears, Saints, Panthers and Jaguars take a seat to watch the festivities. Who do you replace Brees or MJD with this week? Are you running with Vick … Ballard, the new starter in Indianapolis? […]
The Ohio State Marching Band: Nine Minutes of Awesome
This is about as good as it gets. I rocked out to my share of Northwestern Wildcats band programs under the direction of John Paynter. On football Saturdays, the “Go U Northwestern!” rally cry still plays loudly. (You can save your commentary about Zordich of Penn State running over my beloved Cats this week.) I […]
