A gently-used set of DVDs of a forgotten HBO show about football, with Delta Burke and O.J. Simpson in it, for free. Too good to be true? Yes, obviously. But, astonishingly, true nonetheless. This is your chance to win Joe MacLeod's 1st and Ten DVDs. All of them. You have to take all of them.

On his long-running, wide-ranging radio show, Jean Shepherd talked about whatever he damn well pleased, however he felt like doing it. Occasionally, all that eloquent rambling led him to Shea Stadium, and the Mets.

Reporters want some dude on the Lakers to weigh in on the NBA's biggest story. He won't play along. Who does he think he is, anyway? 

A design guy named David Rappoccio is putting Peyton Manning's scowly/poopy Manningface on different NFL logos. We could not be happier about him doing this.

Former Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger, like many people who played golf often, is very concerned about how much free stuff poor people...pardon, "non-working Americans" receive. What makes him a champion is getting on Twitter and making a difference.

What good is a Karim Garcia spotting, especially one in which he looks like a char siu pork, if you can't discuss the way it makes you feel with a trusted friend?

It's fine to be excited about Jeremy Lin, because the Jeremy Lin thing is great. But please, everyone, let's exercise caution in the quickie YouTube tribute raps that we make on his behalf.

J.R. Smith is this close to being done in China, which means the NBA's great sower of chaos will soon be back in America. More importantly, he's a free agent, available to the highest bidder—or, if he so chooses, to follow a less conventional career path. 

O.J. Simpson. Delta Burke. Christopher Meloni. Tiny Lister. Shannon Tweed. There is a lot worth remembering about HBO's bafflingly long-lived, fantastically not-good football-themed semi-sitcom 1st and Ten. The hard part is getting the theme song out of your head.

However fumblingly or idiosyncratically or irresponsibly, Ricky Williams is looking for truth, and that search never really stopped being at odds with his professional football career. John Keats would've understood.

The supreme chef behind Momofuku is nearly as serious about sports as he is food, especially the teams from his beloved District of Columbia. We talked with him about Unseld, sports foodies, and yes, Jeremy Lin. Chang should probably go ahead and add "prophet" to his already lengthy resume.
