Sure, you know how your favorite school stacks up in the conference standings or top 25 poll, but do you know how they’re faring in the financial department? Wednesday’s Orlando Sentinel featured a breakdown of Football Bowl Subdivision schools ranked by total revenue each university took...

So if we’re to believe the Princeton Review, Penn State is America’s top party school in 2009. And why wouldn’t we? If anyone knows how to rate a party, it’s an Ivy Leaguer. But there’s no disputing which university has America’s greatest collection of dim-witted administrators...

Between Sarah Palin patting herself on the back for quitting a job, Terrell Owens’ public rant in support of Ookie Vick, and Juan Pablo Montoya’s boneheaded sprint down pit row — it was a banner weekend to be a full-blown idiot in America. Rarely do we get to see such a convergence...

Admittedly, we’re not the biggest pro wrestling fans you’re ever going to meet. WWE sort of jumped the shark for us around the same time The Rock started telling us to call him Dwayne. So you hardcore fans of the squared circle will have to forgive us if this is old news. Imagine our surprise...

Well, at least that’s over. ESPN finally acknowledged the big pink elephant in the middle of the room late Wednesday, deciding to “cover” the Ben Roethlisberger civil case by plastering a lousy Associated Press wire story on their website. The case was also mentioned on the air, albeit...

The Erin Andrews/Peepholegate saga has captivated sports fans in recent days like few other stories, with a number of high-profile blogs and media outlets devoting time, energy and resources to the sordid tale in near hanging-chad-like proportions (see here, here and here). It should really come as no...

We’re not going to rehash the painful episode that unfolded Sunday in the world of sports. And no, we’re not talking about “The ESPYs”, although we’re proud to say we’ve still yet to watch one second of that televisual farce in all the years The World Wide Follower...

When we were scanning the sports transactions from Wednesday, this item from the American Association baseball league caught our attention: SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CAPTAINS-Released INF BJ Wheeler and RHP BJ Litchfield. Signed INF Bryan Sabatella. Now, don’t get us wrong. We love minor league baseball....

OK, so we’ve issued a few controversial statements here and there since we started this whole Sportspoop nonsense a couple months ago. But they all pale in comparison to the statement we’re about to make: Stacey Dales Erin Andrews is a tad overrated. There. We said it. And truth be told,...

As if we needed more evidence that God indeed has a sense of humor, news of the death of Oscar Mayer and a report of a possible Slim Jim shortage surface on the same frickin’ day. Some days this roundup writes itself, folks. And now, on with today’s links. Heh. - But first, our tweet of the...

A bevy of Wednesday links while trying to figure out why we’re supposed to give a crap that Steve McNair isn’t on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. Seriously, we’ve read this story in eleventy billion places, and we still can’t figure out why this is supposed to be relevant...

Thank you Roger Federer, and thank you Andy Roddick. Thanks for serving up a Wimbledon men’s final for the ages on a day when all sports fans really, really needed something to get excited about. I think it’s safe to say a lot of us went to bed Saturday night with a bad taste in our mouths...

Needless to say, the July 4th weekend took a decidedly sad and stunning turn with the shooting deaths of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair and a female companion in a Nashville, Tenn., condominium complex. Details surrounding the deaths of McNair, 36, and 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi remain sketchy, but...

The loyal Poopsters may remember a while back when we railed against NBC for not showing live tennis during the French Open. Ya know, this being the 21st century and all. We were pretty sure they’d get it figured out by Wimbledon, since ya know, it’s the 21st century and all. Brooklyn Decker Then...
