Big Picture Categories: Horse-related mascots

King's Cup might be the best drinking game out there. Everyone has their own version, there's ample drinking and sometimes -- on a few lucky occasions -- hot chicks end up naked. One of the best "games" in King's Cup is Categories, which often is represented by the Jack card. In Categories, the person who draws the card says a category (fast food joints, baseball stadiums, etc.) and everyone must go around the circle naming one until somebody stumbles. When that person fucks up, they drink. Make sense? Good.

Didn't see any of the Colts-'Skins game Sunday, but, hey, football! With real, professional athletes. And Brett Favre had nothing to do with it. Hooray!

Thinking about it, we realized that while the Colts are, well, colts, there is no team in sports called the Horses. But many mascots are a form of horse. Kind of like Barbaro. Barbaro was a horse. A great one.

But we're not talking about real (or dead) horses today. We're talking about mascots. Horse-related mascots in any sport, pro or college. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. First person to blow it has to fuck a horse. On a related note, we once wrote a post about this. We thought it was perhaps the funniest thing ever published in the history of the Internet or history itself.

We'll start with one that doesn't give any more away: Indianapolis Colts.

All right, animal lovers. Slang your horse-mascot knowledge in the comments.

Big Picture Categories: Smiths

King's Cup might be the best drinking game out there. Everyone has their own version, there's ample drinking and sometimes -- on a few lucky occasions -- hot chicks end up naked. One of the best "games" in King's Cup is Categories, which often is represented by the Jack card.

When that person fucks up, they drink. Make sense? Good.

We can't imagine a world where we walk down the street and pass by multiple people -- let alone anyone -- with the same last same. We know of political strategist Daniel Schnur and former Northwestern quarterback Steve Schnur, who led the Wildcats to the 1996 Rose Bowl. But it stops there. Anyone else with that last name is probably family.

Then there is the surname Smith, which is used by about one in every hundred Americans according to Wikipedia, which is slowly taking over the world. You walk down the same street and you might cross paths with many people that share your name.

And this commonality comes across in the wide world of sports. So today's category is naming all the Smiths in either pro or college sports. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. First person to blow it has to do body shots off famous movie director Kevin Smith.

We'll start with one that comes to mind: Steve Smith (the Carolina Panthers one).

All right, folks. Spew your knowledge in the comments.

Big Picture Categories: Keanu Reeves movies

King's Cup might be the best drinking game out there. Everyone has their own version, there's ample drinking and sometimes -- on a few lucky occasions -- hot chicks end up naked.

When that person fucks up, they drink. Make sense? Good.

Today is the release of the new Keanu Reeves flick Street Kings, which may or may not be horrible. It stars Common and The Game, so how could it go wrong? It got us thinking though, since Keanu is without doubt the best actor in the history of acting, we thought we'd brainstorm some of his movies by bringing back Big Picture Categories.

We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. If you cheat and look up his IMDB page, we'll know. And the guilt will cause your penis to fall off.

We'll start with his best: Point Break.

If you've never seen Point Break, well, you should. It's once of the most acclaimed movies of all time, having won Best Picture awards in multiple years, which we're told is unprecedented if not impossible. It also won awards for best Foreign Film, best Animated Short and best Documentary, despite not being foreign, animated or true. (Keanu won Best Actor, too, but you already knew that).

Some memorable quotes from Point Break:

Australian cop at the end of the movie: We'll get him when he comes back in!

Johnny Utah: He's not coming back.

Roach: Hey man, I'm cold. Really cold.
Johnny Utah: You're cold because all of the blood is running out of your body Roach. You're gonna be dead soon.

Johnny Utah: You're blowing it, man! You're breaking your own rules...

We know you all love Keanu, so time to slang that knowledge in the comments. (Quotes welcomed!)

For how much we like sports, sports movies have never really done it for us. They're often trite, cliché and corny. Occasionally there will be a good one and, for some, these niche movies really work.

With last weekend's Academy Awards, movies are on people's minds. So let's keep things sports-related and list off some of the best -- and inevitably some of the worst -- sports flicks of all time. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. First person to mess up has to listen to "Wild Thing" on repeat.

We'll start with one we quite enjoy: Major League.

All right, movie buffs. Spew your pop-culture knowledge in the comments.

We're 10 days until March, which is arguably the best sports month of the year. College hoops, baseball, college hoops. Nets will be getting cut down and courts stormed sooner than you think. We're close to tourney time and we don't feel we've addressed the college game nearly enough around here.

So let's get in the mood of March Madness with some tournament-related categories. Today's game is naming every Final Four team in the history of the Big Dance. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. First person to blow it gets to take a body shot off of Coach K.

We'll start a great one: George Mason.

Let's go, tourney fans. Make it happen in the comments.

Big Picture Categories: NBAers from the ACC

King's Cup might be the best drinking game out there. Everyone has their own version, there's ample drinking and sometimes -- on a few lucky occasions -- hot chicks end up naked.

We've ignored the NBA up until this point. It's a boring league, with whiny superstars and the hoops are too motherfucking low. Raise that shit to 11 feet already!

But our neglect stops here. With so little going on sports wise, it's time to embrace the NBA as your best friend. If you hate it like us, learn to love it. Or just root for the Warriors. They play like a college team anyway. But since the NBA has far fewer players than the NFL or MLB, we couldn't stick to one alma mater -- like in these posts.

Since the ACC is the premier league in the land (the Pac-10 ain't too shabby, either), today's category will be naming all current NBA players who went to ACC universities. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. First person to mess up has to root for Duke for two weeks.

We'll start with a basket case, because, well, who doesn't like a superstar nutjob? Steve Francis (Maryland).

Let's go, college hoops (and soon-to-be NBA) fans. Slang your knowledge in the comments.

We are in, what seems like anyway, the prime of sports blogging. In about five minutes, you can sign up for a Blogger account and be a published author. No experience needed. It's kinda like crack in the 90s: sports blogging is the new cool thing.

With the ease (and fun, we might add) of sports blogging, there has gotta be somewhere near 300,000 sports blogs out there. That is an exaggeration, but unfortunately, not that big of one.

Today's category then, we'll be naming all independent sports blogs. What's independent mean? No affiliation with a newspaper or mainstream media website. Use your judgment. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. There are tons of these, so let's set a new commenting record! Also, link to the site that you mention. First person to blow it has to shotgun a 40.

We'll start with a favorite: The Hater Nation (NFL Adam told us if we said that, he'd buy our lunch when we visit him later this month).

All right, blog buddies. Start dishin' out those URLs like Steve Nash assists.

*That's a picture of "Mean Girls" co-star Lacey Chabert. When we did an image search for "sports blogs," she was the third item that popped up. Weird. Anyway, here are some more pants-stirring, yet safe-for-work, pics of her.

Sunday's the Super Bowl! HOLY SHIT! THE SUPER BOWL!!!! CAPS LOCK! EXCLAMATION POINT!!!

With XLII just a few days away, we're starting to get Super Bowl fever. We have our potato chips, deep fryer and butt groove ready. To get even more in the mood, today's category will be naming all the Super Bowl MVPs. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. If you look these up at some reference site or something, your penis will fall off. Honor system, people. First person to mess up has to deep fry a beer.

We'll start with a random one: Dexter Jackson (Tampa Bay, Super Bowl XXXVII).

All right, Super Bowl nuts. Brag about your useless knowledge in the comments.

We're less than two weeks away from the Super Bowl and we're about as it excited for it as we are a trip to the dentist. Nonetheless, it is the Super Bowl which is a great excuse to drink piss beer on a Sunday afternoon. Not that you needed an excuse...

With the big game on the horizon, today's category will be naming all the cities that have hosted a Super Bowl. This is Super Bowl XLII, but with all the repeat cities, we're guessing that there have been about 30 host sites. So let's get 'em all! We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. One -- one! -- answer per comment, assbags. First person to blow it gets to have a run-in with Ray Lewis in a dark alley.

We'll start with a recent one: Detroit (Super Bowl XL).

The NFL Draft is right around the corner -- frankly it's like the only sporting event that gets us really excited this time of year, besides March Madness, of course. That's right, fuck the Super Bowl. Corporate bullshit overshadows the game. Anyway, when you think NFL Draft, one of the first things to come to mind is QBs who went bust.

Today's category then will be naming all those first-round quarterbacks that never panned out. What's considered a bust? Well, use your judgment. But if a guy was picked three years ago (2005 Draft) or more recently, he's not eligible. So Young Alex Smith won't count...yet. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to mess up has to convince his team's GM to take on Smith's $50 million contract.

We'll start with another 49er who sucked goat nuts: Jim Druckenmiller.

Let's go, Draft fans. Slang your QB-bust knowledge in the comments.

When you start breaking down the big games, there are none better than the gargantuan crew of ESPN analysts. They range from bull riding to the law and everything in between. Most of them are pretty good, though there are those few former athletes who can't properly form a sentence or speak coherently.

Since we've been seeing plenty of ESPN "talent" on TV lately with the NFL playoffs, BCS shit and the NBA in full swing, today's category will be naming all analysts on ESPN and the ESPN family of networks. Let's keep this current, meaning everyone's favorite, Harold Reynolds, doesn't count. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to blow it gets to play spin the bottle with Sean Salisbury.

We'll start with one of our favorites: Kirk Herbstreit.

No too relevant, but damn, there are a lot of families who have had multiple members play sports. Brothers, father and sons, cousins...sports are a big, incestuous community.

Today's category will be naming all players, coaches, etc. who have had a relative play in a professional sports league. Let's keep it to the big four (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL). Relatives don't have to have played at the same time. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to fuck up has to pound some bottom-shelf vodka and chase it with bottom-shelf gin.

We'll start with an obvious one: the Griffeys.

There are 800 of these, so don't be shy. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to blow it gets a cheetah for a pet.

Pretty much the third thing that came to mind when watching the Pats-Ravens game Monday was, "seems like half of the Ravens' D has had a run-in with the law." (The first two things that came to mind were "this is a surprisingly good game," and "those all-black unis are fucking raw!"

Today's category then will be naming all those notorious athletes who have had legal problems. Going to jail or court isn't even a prerequisite. Any run-in with the law counts. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to blow it has to come across Ray Lewis in a dark alley.

We'll start with one of those that never saw jail time: Ray Lewis (obstruction of justice after avoiding murder charges).

All right, folks. Help make the all-criminal team in the comments.

It's coming time for bowl season, the most wonderful time of the year (says ESPN). While there are about 800 bowls from December until early January, there are plenty of others that were either short-lived or had a name change. It's time we remember those fallen bowls.

Today's category then will be naming all those former bowl games that no longer exist. Ones that are still around in the same location, but have changed names totally count in today's game. So mention 'em. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to mess up gets a free trip to Hell...err...the Sun Bowl in El Paso.

We'll start with one of those bowl games you'd usually pass on in favor of Seinfeld reruns: the Copper Bowl. (Currently called the Insight Bowl).

Fuck sports for a day. What have sports ever done for you anyway? It won't get your rocks off, that's for sure.

Today's category then will be naming female pornstars. Since there are hundreds of 'em, start off the comments with the famous ones and your personal favorites. We'll then work our way down to the barely legal ones who you'd likely catch herpes from just by being in the same room as them. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments.

Just about everywhere you turn in sports, you're going to find a "Wildcats," "Tigers" or "Bears." But not too many teams -- at least in professional sports -- have nicknames that don't end in an "S."

Today's category then will be naming those teams that don't have an "S" at the end. Since there are a lot of these, let's keep them to colleges and U.S. leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS all count -- the WNBA does not. Does it ever?). We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to blow it has to ask a random member of the Sioux tribe if they have a drinking problem.

The NFL is littered with players whose last name is Johnson. Go up and down every roster and if you don't come across at least one Johnson, you're probably looking in the wrong place. And speaking of Johnson, remember the Big Johnson t-shirt line. Good shit, friends. Good shit.

Honoring Big Johnson tees and professional football, today's category is naming those NFL players whose last name is Johnson. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. First person to mess up will be thrown in a dark alley with the man pictured.

Let's make a game out of it then. Today's category is naming all Triple A teams with its corresponding affiliate. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. Whoever blows it first has to move to Albuquerque.

Today's category is naming current NFLers who went to SC. O.J. doesn't count. We'll start and you guys continue in the comments. You can go again after every five comments. Whoever messes up first has to babysit Leinart's kid.
