We had absolutely no desire to watch the Dolphins and Giants game from London on Sunday. But then it hit us like a ton of bricks: streakers! And sure enough, what did we miss out on? Yup, a guy with a football over his pylon living it up at right there on the center of the pitch, er, field.

Even though the World Series is over and done, you’ve probably still have the silky smooth voice of Joe Buck running through your head. Well, if you just can’t get enough of his impassioned calls then we’ve got the perfect treat for you. It’s Bucky making some of the biggest calls in sports history.
“And President Kennedy is outta there.”
Over 40 years later and that still seems a little too soon. Oh, well; Slam-A-Lama-Ding-Dong! It’s still a homer.

There were a lot of great games and a bunch of fantastic finishes in another wild week of college football, but the most out of this world ending of all came in the mighty Division III. About the only thing missing from this improbable touchdown is a trombone player getting blasted in the end zone and an overly emphatic announcer wetting his pants on-air. Actually, we’ve got the announcer thing covered.
Nobody has said it yet, so we will: that was “the most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heartrending, exciting, thrilling finish in the history of college football!”
Whether you like him or not, Brady Quinn has a lot of things going for him. He’s young, rich, and talented, the ladies think he’s good looking and he parties like a rock star. However, he’s probably not the most rational guy in the world; at least, not when it comes to being objective about his Fighting Irish.
Seriously, he thought they could win the game straight up? No points? If anybody is looking to make a quick buck, just bet Brady that Notre Dame doesn’t make a bowl game. Easy money.

Normally, we would say that you should never throw down with somebody who has a helmet on. It just doesn’t make any sense, but, then again, we can’t argue with results.
There is really nothing better than a little blood on the ice. And, by the way, we love the whole “Tale of the Tape” graphics that are being incorporated.

It’s “Big JT”; what else can we say.
Okay, just so we’re clear; you did all of this for the Dolphins and Giants?
We knew that the dude could kick some butt, but we didn’t know he could do it harmonically. Turns out that the action hero/crazy stunt guy has a bit of a side career in music and now he’s going to be the voice of the 2008 Olympics.
The 53-year-old actor, best known for his daredevil stunts, has recorded “We Are Ready,” the official countdown song to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
He spent three hours recording the song during a recent trip to Beijing, Chan said in a blog entry on his Web site Wednesday.
Apparently, Jackie was taken back by the lyrics to the song. And now, if we may, we’d like to receipt a stanza for you now.
*ahem*
Wow, that really does leave you feeling a shudder in your soul. You know, Jackie, you should really considering getting rid of your current lyricist because the crap he’s writing for you now just doesn’t even make sense.
Yep, he’s totally holding you back.

You can read all the newspapers you want and listen to all the interviews and press conferences you can find, but we say “forgetaboutit!” We got David Letterman filling our brains with all the latest MLB 4-1-1, and he can tell us more in 10 sentences than the dill holes on FOX Sports can muffle out in a week.
And when Yogi Berra tells someone “It’s over” then Yogi Berra told someone “It’s over.”

The commercials from the College Gameday (“built by the Home Depot”) crew keep getting better and better and this one is no exception.
That one had us chuckling pretty good, but, sorry guys, the award for `funniest analyst in a self-belittling commercial’ still resides in Scott Van Pelt’s coal-crushing grip.

We always knew that it would be some nerdy white guy who’d go up to Sam Cassell and bust out the “E.T. vs. Gollum” question, but we just always hoped that it would be E.J. who `cowboyed up.’ Did we really just say that?
Listen kid, we’re no John Stossels or Geraldo Riveras (although we love the sweet `staches), but it might be good to extend your research beyond Wikipedia entries.
