Four years ago the Giants and Patriots treated us to one of the best Super Bowls in league history, filled with all the drama any sports fan could ask for:  the Patriots seeking to become the first team to finish a season 19-0; Tom Brady looking to cap off one of the best statistical seasons of all-time; Eli Manning, just months after being called an epic bust lead… Click to read more

What’s left to say about Tebow Mania that hasn’t already been said? Despite the fact that 4 quarterbacks are currently on pace to break Dan Marino’s single season passing record, and the Green Bay Packers are knocking on the door to perfection, Tim Tebow remains the most compelling story of the 2011 football season. But as unique as his story might seem, we’ve seen plenty of athletes over the last few decades jump onto the scene and become larger than life phenomena overnight. Check out 5 of the top athlete crazes over the past 25 years after the jump.

Usually sports teams owners aren’t mentioned when listing off notable alumni. Why? They’re regarded as the scum of the Earth – vile human beings who are greedy penny pinchers. Well, newsflash, I’d f***ing love to be a sports team owner. Been a dream of mine since day 1. So, this list of top owner-producing colleges created by the Wall Street Journal would’ve been super helpful. Check it out after the jump.

The two things we can count on to bring people together are holidays and sports. Everyone likes a day off from work and when you couple that with a sporting event, you’re staring down at a pair of aces. For some families, watching sports can be a bonding experience while others use it as a diversion or escape from family issues. And, if you don’t have a fam, these sports will keep you company. Tri-State Sports Guys’ Mike D has 5 great marriages of holidays and sports – check ‘em out after the jump.

Over his 45 year tenure at Penn State, Joe Paterno has amassed over 400 wins and won more bowl games than any coach in history, including 2 national championships. But in the blink of an eye, his entire legacy has been forever tarnished. This isn’t the first time a sports figure as revered as Joe Pa has turned from hero to pariah. Check out our list of five others from the past 20 years to fall from grace seemingly overnight after the jump.

In college sports, things are different. There’s less pressure, no paycheck and the athletes are also (kinda of) students no matter how many off the field benefits they’re getting from boosters. In the pros, all those Heismans and school records don’t mean anything anymore. It’s put up or shut up time and it’s a proving ground for anyone who thought that they were going to be playing in the big leagues. Well, for these athletes, those college awards are just about the only thing on their fireplace because they turned out to be total busts. Check out who made the cut below!

We’ve had a solid run with Quinn the AXE Mannequin and this Saturday marks the finale of our 6 week AXE College Football Bucket List List adventure.

Just email tips@teamcoed.c… Click to read more

It’s no secret female sportscasters and hotness tend to go hand in hand. Think about it- guys are already judging you for being a girl talking about sports. If you’re not easy to look at, you’re going to be fighting a serious uphill battle. Luckily for us, the networks are aware of the fact and cast some pretty serious hotties to stand on the sidelines. If you love watching girls like Jenn Brown and Ines Sainz on TV, just wait until you see them when they’re off the screen. Sports and girls – it doesn’t get much better than that. Check out our massive gallery of off-the-sideline sweetness below.

We’re moving offices today, so I get the pleasure of working from home. One of the benefits from that arrangement is I get to watch CNN. Well, their developing story today is the report that this one dude Nevin Shapiro has come forward alleging he done some shady sh*t at the University of Miami and NO ONE stopped him for 8 years, implying that the coaches and administration knew about and chose not to step in. CNN’s calling this the worst college sports scandal ever. Do you agree? Check out details of the Miami scandal along with other notable college sports scandals in our slideshow then vote in our poll after the jump.

There wasn’t a NFL player on Earth who was more beloved and loathed than Deion Sanders. When he was with the Falcons everyone wanted to high step and show boat and return punts. Then, he goes to the 49ers and Cowboys, two of the more hated franchises in the league and people can’t stand his glitz and flash. Deep down, though, he’s not like Terrell Owens or Chad Ochocinco or Desean Jackson. He’s on another level. His physical skills are unparalleled. Sure, he couldn’t tackle for sh*t, but he was fun to watch. As a tribute for his birthday today (August 9th), we’ve curated his best highlight reels, photos, and little known facts. Check ‘em out after the jump.

Heads up: August is National Golf Month. Sure, you can celebrate by sweating your balls off through 18 holes, but your partners are probably only good for carrying beers. OR you could tee off with COED and we’ll show you our 16 sexiest golfers. We don’t mind playing behind these ladies. You’ll see why after the jump. Fore!

It seems most sports stars these days lead secret sex lives behind closed doors. The ones we don’t know about are probably just very good with disguises and have the wealth to afford bribery. Maybe their goal-oriented psyches desire further conquests on a different kind of playing field? While it is hard to believe they have so much energy left to use up, what follows is a look into which sports are most likely to turn those who play them into primordial sex hungry fiends; in no way based on any kind of medical research. It’s called conjecture. Deal with it. Check out the list after the jump.

JT’s a peculiar bird. Dude has a billion chicks all over his jock because he makes them wet when he sings yet he has this burning desire to be a goofy comedian. So far, not so bad. He’s far better than any other musician trying to act, but it’s kinda weird to see a crooner take balls to the balls repeatedly. Like I’ve been doing that sh*t my entire life yet I don’t have a line around the block to swallow me whole. Anyway, ‘lake’s presenting the Capital One Cup at the 2011 ESPYs, which is hosted by SNL’s Seth Myers and will air July 13th. Check out this promo for the Capital One Cup then gawk at the screengrabs of Justin’s post nutshot o-faces after the jump.

For a recent college graduate who lives with his parents (hey ladies), being a blogger is pretty much a God-send. I get invites to cool nerd parties, I look at pictures of tits all day, and I get to look at pictures of tits all day. Having said that, there is a real difficulty in finding new articles and angles on stories that haven’t already been blogged about. When I checked Sportsfeeder this morning, I noticed a trend of videos that were related to stools. Where was this heading? Apparently towards another lesson on internet and blogging etiquette.

The Costacos Brothers shot and produced “fantasy” sports posters that gave pro athletes a larger-than-life look and appeal. Since they didn’t have a license from any of the leagues, they were unable to produce game action shots. Instead, they made personality posters that turned the players into comic book heroes and Hollywood action stars. To celebrate their new exhibit “For the Kids” at Salon 94 Freemans, we’ve gathered some of their best work along with other kitschy sports posters from the ’80s & ’90s and beyond. Check ‘em out after the jump.
