The 2006 Year in Review
Q asked me to do a 2006 All-Male Revue, which I thought was a strange request, so I asked him if I might be able to just do a Review of 2006. He reluctantly agreed, so here goes nothing (with much thanks to Wikipedia and its submitters for doing the leg work). The 2006 Year in Review January 2: The Ohio State Buckeyes defeat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 34-20 in the Fiesta Bowl in what ESPN will later tell the public is the absolute most lopsided 14-point victory in the history of ...

Two Phantom Touchdowns Seen Last Night in Tempe; Peter Venkman Called in to Investigate
TEMPE, Ariz.--As the final seconds of the Florida Gator's 41-14 rout of the Ohio State Buckeyes ticked away, parapsychologist and psychologist Dr. Peter Venkman stood on the sidelines, patiently waiting for his chance to investigate the endzone where, earlier in the game, two phantom touchdowns had been sighted.

After LSU’s Sugar Bowl Win, Rules of College Football Explained to Miles
NEW ORLEANS--As his LSU Tigers celebrated their 41-14 dismantling of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, head coach Les Miles took the opportunity in his post-game press conference to ask some important questions about the game of college football. HLS was lucky enough to get an early copy of the transcript of that press conference. LM: Now, I know when you get the ball into the area where the team logo is, that counts for six points.

A Christmas (Four) Star
Coach Weis slid down your chimney and left you a gift a little early this year, nabbing four-star safety Harrison Smith out of Knoxville Catholic. Welcome aboard, Harrison! Also, please tell me they're inflating SAT scores, because the 1850 he scored gives me grade envy. ...
Suck it, MBAs. You too, this guy’s liver.
LOS ANGELES--On behalf of HLS, I would like to extend a "thank you" to this large-handed lad for putting the "gat" back in the Notre Dame tailgater, to "Crazy Tom's Emporium of Inanity" for pointing it out, and to just plain Tom for pointing it out to me. Are those rappity songs still using "gat" these days? [youtube]GZiuzbRj5_I&eurl=[/youtube] ...
Man Fakes Mental Retardation for 20 Years by Disguising Self as Heisman Voter
TACOMA, Wash.--Tacoma resident Pete Costello has been pretending for the last twenty years that he is mentally retarded so that his mother could collect disability checks due to his "condition." He and his mother are now being prosecuted for fraud after Social Security workers became suspicious. Costello was able to pull off the ruse for twenty years by casting his annual vote for the NCAA's Heisman Trophy, and lobbying strongly for clearly inferior football players. Costello was ...

Musburger Declared Functionally Retarded
COLUMBUS, Ohio--Moments after the Ohio State Buckeyes nipped the Michigan Wolverines by three points in an exciting #1 versus #2 matchup, ABC announcer Brent Musburger was declared functionally retarded by the CIMR. While the CIMR cited several reasons for the declaration, it pointed toward Musburger's comment three minutes into Saturday's game. Right after Michigan scored a touchdown, making the score 7-0 Wolverines, Musburger suggested that Troy Smith would need to lead the Buckeyes to a ...
