Dana Jacobson likes to rock the party
By Micah Warren | 7 Comments
This happened a while ago and we reported it at the time, but we just found this photo on Deadspin and had to post it. Why does ESPN insist on employing such talentless hacks such as Jacobson? She got suspended for rocking the party and then making drunken jokes about catholics.
We might need […]
ESPN, blow me
By Micah Warren | 9 Comments
ESPN….seriously, suck it. I hate you. I’m sitting here watching Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake do Fact or Fiction. ESPN, blow me.
I hope you are happy that you have thoroughly destroyed sports. Mike Myers is talking about golf while showing off his iPhone? Promoting “The Love Guru” while Timberlake talks […]
Anyone else sick and tired of hearing about Joba?
By Perry | 7 Comments
Seriously, is the development of Joba Chamberlain a national event? Do his job duties need to be addressed every week on ESPN and Baseball Tonight? How many other teams are there in the Major Leagues that have a pitcher just like Joba going through the same situation?
This is exactly what is […]
Mark Madden fired from ESPN Radio
By Micah Warren | 2 Comments
Thanks to Kevin for tipping us off on this one. Mark Madden of Pittsburgh’s ESPN Radio has been fired for his inflammatory comments regarding Senator Ted Kennedy.
“I’m very disappointed to hear Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is near death because of a brain tumor,” said Madden. “I always hoped Senator Kennedy would live […]
Sports blooper time!
By Micah Warren | 3 Comments
I’m waiting to get picked up to go to lunch, so I thought I’d post some sports bloopers. We can’t understand a single lyric of the song, but we imagine it has “sports bloopers” or “whoopsy daisy” in the chorus. Because then it would be relevant. Eat lunch at your desk and […]
OTR Salutes ‘barry,’ Fan Of The Year
By Perry | 24 Comments
We can’t ignore the overwhelming support we are receiving from our biggest fan ‘barry.’ He is one of the main reasons that OTR is able to keep it going. His brilliant posting on comments and the respect he gives Micah and I is second to none. Furthermore, without hesitation we are giving […]
Unfair May Be Fair as Genetics Conflate Steroids
By Perry | Leave a Comment
I found this very interesting article on Bloomberg.com that is a must read. Before you click over and read it, let me provide an excerpt:
“Discoveries in genetics, physiology and nanotechnology are creating new challenges to definitions of cheating. Sports executives including Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay and former World Anti-Doping Agency chief Dick Pound […]
Bob Costas agrees: ESPN blows
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Well, he didn’t say it like that, but he makes a great point on ESPN’s black-or-white sports commentary. When asked by the Orlando Sentinel if it bothers him that ESPN has every journalist in the country on the payroll and asks them to take hard-line stances for the purposes of debate, Costas had this […]
NFL Network: Mike Mayock & Adam Schefter
By Perry | Leave a Comment
These two guys know their stuff. I was switching back between ESPN and the NFL Network this weekend during the NFL draft and ESPN was elementary compared to what Mayock and Schefter brought to the table for the NFL Network. Schefter has all the inside information and knew almost every pick before it […]

Here’s a few of Emmitt Smith’s greatest quotes of all-time:
“Don’t worry about the game you just won or the team that we just blew out… uhhh… blown… blown out… Let’s think about what we need to do going forward, and they had… blown out.”
PHOTO CAPTION: “I wish people would understanded me. This has […]
Perry’s Mailbag: Letters From Famous People
By Perry | 1 Comment
An odd thing happened over the past couple weeks. Famous people affiliated with sports (players, coaches, and analysts), started emailing me with questions and comments. It seems our fan base has spread across this great nation. I know all of you are pretty anxious to see exactly who emailed me, so let’s […]
Tiger Wins Again
By Perry | Leave a Comment
Tiger Woods sank another huge putt to take the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He teed off the 18th hole tied for the lead at minus nine with Bart Bryant. Bart Bryant is not an intimidating name. And it showed as Tiger hit a perfect tee shot, knocked his approach shot 25 feet, and […]
Big changes coming to Off The Record
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
We’ve received a bunch of emails complaining that OTR wasn’t long enough and didn’t display enough stories. People were upset that they had to click the “Archives” button to see the stuff they missed. Well, your whiny complaints have been heard! We expanded our home page of the blog to include the […]

Perry’s Mailbag: Coming Soon To A Friday Near You
By Perry | 1 Comment
I want to apologize for not getting Perry’s Mailbag up last Friday, especially to one of OTR’s dearest fans Lindsey. As most of you know, I was following the Asante Samuel story in Boston on Thursday night and continued my hot pursuit all day Friday until the early evening press conference around 5:00pm EST that […]
Flush That Turd Down The Toilet
By Perry | Leave a Comment
Sean Salisbury will not be calling John Clayton the ‘crypt keeper’ as an ESPN employee anymore. In what has been long overdue, ESPN has dumped Salisbury like the turd he is. In my opinion, he has never said anything relevant or intelligent. All he liked to do was pick fights with little John Clayton and […]
How Will The West Be Won?
By Perry | Leave a Comment
The new-look Phoenix Suns will be host to the new-look Los Angeles Lakers tonight at 9:00pm EST on ESPN. More importantly, Shaquille O’Neal welcomes Kobe Bryant to his new home court at the US Airways Center. Shaq joined the Suns on February 6th when he was traded for Shawn Marion, but has not […]
Check the archives!
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
I’ve been getting a ton of emails about how so much of the content goes off the main blog page so quickly because of new content. “My friend told me to check you’re stupid site because of some Brady Quinn gay story and nwo I can’t find it,” said one. Wow, that was […]

Sean Salisbury is a Douche
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
As you may know by now, Off The Record loves posting YouTube clips. ESPN’s Sean Salisbury personally insults John Clayton for no other reason than the fact that Clayton was putting up a good argument. By the way, Sean: Captain Obvious just isn’t funny anymore, and it never was. People who […]
Emmitt Pisses Off Berman
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
This is great. Thanks to whoever put this together. I think it was really only a matter of time.
Best of Emmitt Smith
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
I absolutely just had to add this. The quality is terrible, but it gets the point across. I think I’m at the point where I feel bad for the guy. I’ve heard announcers butcher the King’s English in the past, but Emmitt takes it to a new level. The University of […]
Chris Berman Goes Off
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
This is hilarious. It contains some colorful language so make sure you are prepared. ESPN’s Chris Berman completely flips. This is priceless.
ESPN’s Dana Jacobson Suspended for a Week
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Deadspin.com has the story that ESPN’s Dana Jacobson will be suspended for a week for her sloppy drunken behavior at the Mike and Mike roast on January 11th. Apparently after downing vodka like it was her job, she made some comments about Notre Dame. I personally think this is hilarious. It’s even funnier […]
