Welcome in boys and girls, to another episode of "Sleeping with the Enemy." I've mentioned before that I've had some occasional difficulty getting Chargers fans to commit to participating in this feature, but on this go-around, we're thankful to have Loren S Casuto from Bolt Talk join us. Looking forward to installment two of Chiefs/Chargers this Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium, we stoked the fire and

School might be out, but there's always room for learnin'. Oh, come on. We've even thrown in a song to make the learnin' funner.* Some football broadcast firsts today: The University of Texas and Texas A&M debuted the art of play-by-play broadcast today in 1920 down in College Station, Texas. Forty-five years later, the NFL gave the world the first color television broadcast in the form of a

Whoa. Wow. WTF? I cannot get my head around this story in which, allegedly, a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers kicked a 13-week-old puppy to death because the animal would not behave. I hope that bum gets the chair.(props to Arrowhead Pride and Deadspin)

Now, now. We can't have this.Let's play nice, boys. We can't have the Gene Wojociechowskis of the world saying "This time, Broncos fans, they're sparing you the agony of the end-of-the-season choke." We also can't really have our coaches telling the other team's players "We own you." Can we?

I have spent much of the last two years inside this House of Georges being a crabby prick. That's not what I aimed for, initially. Honest. I'm not asking for any pity parties here, but life just ain't that easy when your sports teams seldom give you anything positive about which to write. When your Sunday is miserable, and that bleeds into your Monday, Tuesday, and sometimes Wednesday, and that

Greetings and welcome back in for another installment of "Sleeping with the Enemy," where we wax pigskin of a fan of the opposing team.Today's special guest is none other than Haliwood, who's a long-time friend, a Canadian, and, yes, he thumped me soundly in fantasy football in week two of this season. Given my fantasy track record, though, that ain't sayin' much. Either way, our chat proved

We're back again, and in case you're new to the House, this HoG25 thing we've been doing for the past few months has included NFL quarterbacks, American cinema, baseball hitters, readin' books, starting pitchers, television shows, and wide receivers. And in case you missed the first chunk of this segment, you can find it here. Anyway, today's segment is the Top 10, but in this particular instance

It's a gloomy day in Kansas City. That is, it's raining. Either snow or rain has been falling consistently for three straight days now, and sporting news hitting the CyberStands doesn't look much better. In case you've not heard, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. Word is that

While the rough focus of this blog has always been the rivalry between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos, the purpose of this blog is to entertain, via our hilarious, occasionally inconsistent ability to smith words. Naturally, that makes this installment of The HoG25 an important one. For that reason, we haven't ranked them as we have in others; we've simply included the order in

The ink isn't dry. Hell, it's not even 10 minutes old. Wait. How long does it take ink to dry? Either way, The Inverted Vagina Symbol......already has some choice words for his former team.

Been away from this feature for a minute. Had the bye-week blues a couple of weeks ago, and my Jaguars contact blew me off last week, so please forgive me. Sleeping with the Enemy is back, however, just in time for Raider Week, the sequel. This week we sat down with none other than Elwyn Grimes, Jr., who dons the Silver and Black on Sundays.There was a time when we battled one another in the same

Well, that was just darn fantastic. Really. Splendid, even. Nothing better than to watch the Denver Broncos lose one of its 12 home, eight prime-time football contests in such humiliating fashion.To Denver's credit, their pass rush stayed alive, getting to Big Ben Roethlisberger and generating a fumble, one that was returned for a touchdown. Beyond that? They were terrible. Terrible shreds of

As per Pro Football Talk, and the Chiefs Web site, the inverted-vagina symbol has finally gotten his wish.Let the speculations begin on where he will wind up. Houston? Seattle? Tampa? I dunno. Let's be glad, though, people. Let's be glad.

Wow. Another week in the bank. Don't start looking for the party, yet. There's some last-minute reading, after the jump.* We go back to the wonderful year of 1974 when Los Angeles Dodger Mike Marshall became the first relief pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. Ten years later, Willie Hernandez is awarded the American League Most Valuable Player Award, joining Rollie Fingers as the only relievers

Just a quickie today, whilst I attempt to find something profound--or at least grammatically correct--to say for our next installment of the HoG 25. What's it about, you breathlessly ask? Shut the fuck on up and skip ahead to the next sentence, slappy, you'll get it when it's brung to ya.Anyway, saw this post on profootballtalk.com, and man...I mean, if I was a fan of that team--and the

Coming into this World Series (that's the World Series of Baseball, not to be confused with the ongoing poker reruns), I felt that the Yankees had the better club and would win their 27th championship. Not much that happened last night changes my gut feeling, although a few things surprised me. I knew the Phillies had a deep, patient, AL-caliber lineup, but the fact that they could run C.C.

Surprised? You bet your sweet ass you are. These here are good durn times, boy. It's late October. It's raining in New York. Yankees fans can chug pureed sewage topped with rotten eggs, and the House of Georges says, "Let's talk World Series!"Things we know: Joe Buck is unbearable.

Well, kids, it's that fantastic time of year when the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA are all going on at once. Er, uh, wait. The World Series is usually over by now, not just getting started, so scratch that intro, but dig it while it's here!

Every NFL team gets a week off during the season. If you're the 1-6 Chiefs this is a welcome respite. If you're their 6-0 division rivals from Denver, you'd rather keep playing while you're hot. As these two clubs take turns depriving their home fans of Sunday football, we check in on the season so far.In case you're new to the House, or you've forgotten how things work around here, I'm the
