Halloween is today, which is just grand because today is a Friday. There’s no place better to celebrate Halloween than Los Angeles, mind you. The 10% of the female population here that still has self-respect tends to lose said self-respect once they squeeze in to a $19.99 “sexy ____” costume from WalMart. The only problem [...]

The Los Bandigolos review meter

Please take a moment to review the following Martz-o-meterTM:

Only different because some of the players would be replaced and the weather would [...]

In a pathetically thin-veiled attempt to “guess right” and put an ixnay on the supposed cursnay, SI released the FBS preview issue with five different covers. Remember this?
Yeah, well so do I. Look close. What do we have here… Texas? Nope. OU? Nope. OkSU? Nope. PSU? Nope. Bama? Nope. What we have here [...]
