One of the things we like about the NFL (we must admit, there aren’t that many, tailgating is another big one) is their ability, by and large, to support a losing team gracefully. Soccer fans aren’t so good at this, baseballs fans don’t fare much better, but you’ll rarely see a more solemn and passionate [...]

We aren’t huge football fans (rugby, now there’s great sport with an irregularly shaped ball!), but if we had to pick a favorite sort of football highlight it would be between the acrobatic catch and the return for a touchdown. After all, what’s the point of having such a huge field if you can’t run [...]

We appreciate that, in the NFL more-so than any other professional sports league, you never know just how short your career might be, so you really have to capitalize as quickly as possible. Like, for instance, making small and silly endorsements deals with local businesses and appearing in their poorly conceived and executed commercials. That’s [...]

We didn’t really watch the Super Bowl this year, but we did watch how the event’s logo was updated into a sweeping, dynamic, green and blue vintage composition from last year’s unimaginative chunky neon red and blue block. We love regularly updated logos (the NBA All-Star Game used to have awesome logos), so we really [...]

Onesie here, back for another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column Sporty Saturdays. I’ll be honest, it’s been tough keeping up with all my writing assignments amid the recent rush of major pro sports events. There were the NHL and NBA All-Star Games, now Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. With all the freelance mascotting [...]

Super Bowl weekend is at hand, and like those scenes in disaster movies where everybody realizes they need to stock their bomb shelters with food, the grocery stores will soon all be looted of appropriate edibles. So check out these 9 Recipes for the 2009 Super Bowl and get yourself to the supermarket before they’re [...]

Onesie here with another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column, Sporty Saturdays. Since it’s a quiet time for my other gigs like freelance mascot work (most leagues are in their off-seasons right now) and sports writing (most publications are cutting back on freelance sports coverage), I’ve had lots of time lately to catch up on [...]

Onesie here, back with another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column Sporty Saturdays. I recently realized that although there has been ample year-end list coverage in these pages over the last couple of weeks, the ubiquitous sports-themed “best of 2008″ has been absent.
Though I’m especially busy around this time of year with freelance mascot gigs [...]

Here at Listicles, we’re very much in favor of new beginnings, fresh starts, re-inventions and re-definitions (did you notice we re-vamped our logo about a month back, huh, isn’t it new, sexier and therefore better?). That said, we’re also very much not in favor of being given something packaged as “new” that is in fact [...]

With Plaxico Burress garnering a bit of unwanted attention lately for shooting himself in an Upper West Side salsa club (give the man a break, we’ve all wanted to bring a concealed weapon into the Loehmann’s on 74th once or thrice), let’s turn our attention to smarter players and their talent for deliberately courting the [...]
