Alternate Footage Of The Cowboys/Jets Taser Fight
This newly-uploaded video captures more of the aftermath of the attack, beginning with an off-camera woman screaming to security, "Hurry up, he's got a taser!" It ends, as most Jets fan videos do, with the crowd chanting "asshole."...
The 2011 MLB Rookie Hazing Costume Collection
Forcing rookies to dress in costume is an MLB tradition that's as childish as it is time-honored. A gloriously dumb reminder that most baseball players are manchildren, forever stuck in high school. We are too; it's a major reason baseball players are perhaps easier to connect with than athletes in ...
The USA 3-On-3 Women's Basketball Team Only Had Two Healthy Players At The World Championships. How'd They Do?
Three of the country's best high school players traveled to Italy for the FIBA 3x3 Youth World Championships. Just 90 seconds in their semifinal game, Rebecca Greenwell went down with a knee injury. It fell to Linnae Harper and Kaela Davis to play 2-on-3, and the pair did their best, going all the...
How Did Tony La Russa Cost The Cardinals The Game This Time?
A masterpiece of overmanaging in the bottom of the eighth, with two position changes, three pitching changes and an intentional walk that would come around to score the winning run. David Schoenfield has more, but the bottom line is that John Mozeliak should probably decline the option to expand the...
Cowboys Fan Didn't Just Taser A Jets Fan; He Tasered A Marine On 9/11
The Cowboys still fancy themselves "America's Team," but there are very little in the way of patriotism requirements to root for them. Leroy McKelvey of South Carolina is the man who somehow brought a stun gun into MetLife Stadium, and tased three fans in his section at halftime. One of them a marin...
Your MNF Late Game Open Thread
One gets the sense that when this game was scheduled, someone had dreams of Tim Tebow starting dancing in their heads. Alas, it's not to be, as at least two quarterbacks, Ubaldo Jimenez, and John Elway would all have to get hurt before Tebow gets in this game. Unless...H-back time!...
Here's Ron Jaworski Saying Shit On Monday Night Football (UPDATE: And His Awkward Apology)
We know. We saw too. [h/t Everyone]...
Joe Barry Carroll Refused To Give Up His Seat To A White Lady, Is Now Suing
Everyone can relax: Joe Barry Carroll is back in our lives. The former all-star (which is a generous descriptor for someone who was nicknamed "Joe Barely Cares") is suing an Atlanta bar for racial discrimination for asking them to give up their seats five years ago. The bar maintains that we live in...
When The Flag Is Up, You May As Well Shoot For YouTube
Heerenveen midfielder Oussama Assaidi was offside, and he knew he was offside, so why not flick it home with a little flair? No goal, but a mess of style points....
UCF Student Fights With Police Officers And Loses, UCF Fans Respond With Thundersticks
You know what they always say: when Boston College and Central Florida get together, hoo boy, call in the National Guard. Say hello to Andrew Galbo, a graduate student at UCF, and someone who should've been tased, bro:...
Justin Bieber Is A More Dedicated Sports Fan Than You
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: the Biebs is a Maple Leafs fan, so he can't be a bandwagoner, right?...

MLB Physically Took FDNY And NYPD Caps From The Mets To Keep Them From Wearing Them Last Night
MLB's hopes for again being the go-to sports healing for September 11th were boned the second they realized the anniversary fell on an NFL Sunday. But they would have been hard-pressed to screw it up more than they did. The Yankees were on the road, the Nationals had a short little ceremony, and the...
We've Found The Unluckiest Soccer Team In The World: Off The Woodwork 3 Times In 3 Seconds
"Unlucky" being one of the more generous adjectives to describe Real Betis's repeated failure to find twine late in the first half of their La Liga match against Mallorca yesterday. Don't blame Rubén Castro, who got things rolling with a shot off the far post; blame Jorge Molina, whose successive ...
Brian Billick Said The Rams "Had Some Sex With The No-Huddle Offense"
It was just a slip of the tongue, but Billick knew what he said: the awkward pause, then the repetition of the statement, emphasizing the success St. Louis had been having with the no-huddle offense. A natural mistake. Sex is very much like the no-huddle offense. Furious, improvisational, and usua...
Chris Myers Needed A Bourbon On The Rocks To Get Through Lions/Buccaneers
Returning from a commercial break, FOX announcer Chris Myers believed his mic was off when he thanks an unknown individual and then specified "bourbon on the rocks." In-game drink order? Post-game plans? What he drank six of last night and that's why he threw up on broadcast partner Tim Ryan's sho...
Lone Lokomotiv Yarolslavl Player To Survive Crash Dies
Alexander Galimov, who had come up with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's youth system, died today from his injuries sustained in Wednesday's crash. He was 26. A member of the flight crew is now the only survivor of the accident....
Joe Paterno's Presidential Medal Of Freedom Is Closer Than Ever
Partisan bickering has reduced Washington to a post-Era of Good Feelings, pre-Capra Thunderdome of hurled insults and hurled feces. But not in Harrisburg! Both of Pennsylvania's Senators and one representative are ignoring party lines to send a letter to Barack Obama, urging him to award Joe Paterno...
Here's The Tom Brady UGG Commercial That Will Air On <i>Monday Night Football</i>
With music by Mos Def Yasiin, it features plenty of Steadicam shots of Tom walking. Tom running! Tom playing with someone's dog! Tom entering the locker room! Tom bopping his head to the beat, as if he had rhythm. The shoes are not eye-bleedingly ugly, like we've come to expect from Ugg boots, and...
