Army Star Josh McNary Gets a Shot at the NFL

Former Army star defensive end/linebacker and current lieutenant Josh McNary has signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts. The team has placed him on the reserve-military list until he completes his military obligation on May 21st.

Army fans will remember McNary for his outstanding performance in the 2010 Armed Forces Bowl, where he returned a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown and sparked the Black Knights to a 16–14 win over Southern Methodist University. +Continue Reading

Army-Navy Game 2012

The Army-Navy game is the final regular season college football game of the 2012 season and CBS will broadcast the matchup this Saturday (12/8) at 3pm ET live from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. This is the fourth time the game has been played on the second Saturday in December, a date that keeps the game away from all the BCS hoopla that went down last week. If America wants some Division 1 (OK, FBS) football this Saturday, it’s all about the service academies. +Continue Reading

Batman for the Holidays

Although no one around here could bring themselves to pay $15  to see the six-minute teaser than ran with Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol in a few IMAX theaters this weekend, some of us did see this mind-blowing trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (at Sherlock Holmes — if you think you might Robert Downey Jr’s second take on the detective, ignore the reviews and go). +Continue Reading

About That Airport Beatdown…

“Let’s go to the videotape.”

OK. How can you possibly make sense of this? What we have here is the airport security tape of Patti LaBelle’s security guards beating up West Point cadet (and Army football player) Richard King last month at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport.

After Houston police talked to West Point officials, King was suspended for a year and ordered to active duty. Now he’s left the academy and sued Patti LaBelle for assault. King claims she “ordered” her guys to beat him up.

We’re open to any theories or explanations or insider knowledge you may have. Either there’s a conspiracy between Army brass and 70s R&B singers or King must’ve done something pretty radical to provoke that beatdown. The comments are open. Please let us know.

Lingerie Football Gets Serious

Here’s a bench-clearing brawl from last Friday’s Lingerie Football League game between the Miami Caliente and the Tampa Breeze. If you think this fight is fake like pro wrestling, maybe not.

This is Why You Watch the Games

Oklahoma State may have lost the game to Oklahoma and their shot at a BCS bid, but this really is pretty much the greatest interception ever.

Army Football Dresses for Battle

The Army Black Knights are now just one win away from an automatic bid to the Armed Forces Bowl, a situation that’s sure to cause a lot of soul-searching at Navy (apparently Paul Johnson really did take the offense with him to Georgia Tech).

For Saturday’s victory over VMI, the Black Knights dressed in full camo uniforms for the first time, a look they should probably adopt for the rest of the season. More pictures after the jump. +Continue Reading
