If The Boss Came Back: Fake Conversation Between Steinbrenner & Yanks GM Brian Cashman

Ever since George Steinbrenner rode off into the sunset and left the prestigious New York Yankees in the hands of his sons and mastermind Brian Cashman, the franchise hasn’t fared too well. As the Yankees stand on the crossroads of 2008, riddled by injuries and personal moves that just haven’t panned out, one could think old George would come back and try and right the ship. One could think a conversation between him and Cashman would sound something like this… Read More »

Forever On Top: Michael Strahan Staying In Retirement

In the wake of Osi Umenyiora’s season-ending knee surgery, the best news for Giants fans is that Michael Strahan is staying put in retirement.  Why, do you ask?  Because Strahan was a warrior for the Giants over his prolific 15-year career, and he deserves that his final chapter be written with its current fairy tale ending.  He went out healthy, he went out respected, and most importantly, he went out a champion.

Strahan’s leadership will sorely be missed in New York, but now is the time for Eli Manning to take the reins of the franchise. Eli’s fourth quarter in Super Bowl 42 demonstrated that not only is he capable, but also he is ready. Read More »

Parents Just Don’t Understand: Montana Jr. vs Gretzky Jr. High School QB Showdown

Just when you thought high school football wasn’t big enough you’ve got celebrities infiltrating the media, not with what they’re doing on the field, but what their sons are doing.

You think you know pressure? How about riding the coattails of your dad who happened to be the greatest player of his generation in professional sports; and becoming good at his sport.

That’s Nick Montana, son of Joe and 49er folklore, who recently transferred to an ultra prep school in California (think the high school from The O.C.) to play quarterback and get more attention at his age than his dad got when he was 30. Sounds like the perfect father-son-sports-domination-story right? Until some pesky sophomore named Trevor has the skills to compete for the job and who happens to have a really Great dad, as in the Great One: Wayne Gretzky. Read More »

The Ass-ential Nastia Liukin

The perfect weapon–vicious talent, inhuman flexibility, super hotness–Anastasia “Nastia” Valeryevna Liukin reigns as star of the 2008 US women’s gymnastics team at the Beijing Summer Games.

With nine World Championship medals already in the bag–and a fresh Olympic gold, which she earned Thursday night in the women’s gymnastics overall competition–this 18-year-old comes from an immaculate pedigree, her father winning Olympic gold at the ‘88 Games on the horizontal bars for the Soviets, her mother a World Champion rhythmic Russian gymnast.

And on top of all those skills is a blond bombshell that makes us wish we were chalk boys…or something. But were not, so we did what we do best–a wall of split-rific pics of the all around awesomeness that is Nastia Liukin. And now, The Ass-ential Nastia Liukin.

Rampage Jackson Healthy, May Have Legal Trouble.

After wrecking some sh*t in his giant truck, getting arrested, then bailed out (by Dana White), claiming that he was God and being admitted to a hospital for observation, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is apparently back to what equates to normal.

He was seen walking around Minneapolis during the pre-fight preparations for UFC 87, accompanied by Dana White, and he spoke at a press conference for the event.

Apparently Dana is Quinton’s new security, at least until the UFC can be sure that he’s not the crazy dude he was acting like a few weeks ago. Jackson can be seen in several of Dana White’s UFC 87 video blogs.

Everyone at COED is pleased to hear that ‘Page is healthy both mentally and physically, but his time in the spotlight of bad fortune may not be over just yet. Apparently when Rampage went on his, well, rampage, he may or may not have caused the miscarriage of a Huntington Beach, CA resident’s unborn child. (Whoops!) Read More »

Michael Phelps VS. Aquaman: Mano y Superhero

After shattering the world record and snagging Olympic Gold in Saturday’s 400-meter individual medley, Michael Phelps officially pwns the water.  It seems every time he takes the block, he breaks another record… and usually it’s his own.  Arguably, Phelps is super-human, but super-HERO?

Extra Mustard wondered just that, by sizing up the two most dominating forces the water has ever seen:

The Girls of 2008 Olympic Beach Volleyball

Recently, we put together The Ass-Entials of Beach Volleyball, which covered the sport from a, uh, lower-angled perspective. But since then, we’ve actually watched the sport and realized it’s one of the greatest gifts to man this side of micro-brews and all-you-can eat BBQ.

So this time, we’ve gathered together all the women’s beach volleyball teams going to Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics into one ass-tastic round-up that’s sure to place this sport at the top of your must-see list. And not just because of the hot bikini bods–but mostly…

COED Presents: 10 Things Guys Hate About Sports

Sports are arguably too important in the average guy’s life. Guys are the ones arguing against that point. Sports cause guys to skip family events and work obligations for meaningless mid-season games and preseason action. Yet there is the negative half of sports; the kinds of things that make the average guy cringe at when he spends his average 60 hours a week “with” his favorite teams. Now there can be a number of things guys hate about sports, but I thought I’d come up with just a few:
