Romanian Soccer Team Supporters Make Philly Fans Look Downright Amicable
So this is a match between Romanian clubs Petrolul Ploiești and Steaua București, in which Petrolul is losing to visiting Steaua 0-2. A Petrolul supporter invades the pitch and suckerpunches Steaua defender George Galamaz, an act that earned the rogue fan a brutal beatdown by Galamaz' teammates. T...

A Very Thirsty And Very Sweaty Gary Patterson Has A Personal Liquid-And-Towel Valet
Avid mid-major college football watchers (yes, we exist) have noticed this for awhile, and YouTuber wtem980 has been so kind as to compile this video of the young lady whose task it is to be at TCU head coach Gary Patterson's side at all times to supply him with hydration (I assume it's water, bu...

The Sad Saga Of A College Football Player Who Didn't Understand How Twitter Works
Elon senior RB Jamal Shuman is frustrated. The Phoenix lost 48-28 Saturday to Wofford, and Shuman only factored in one play—a five-yard pass reception. So he did what anyone would do in that situation, and vented on Twitter....

What Counts In Soccer As A Fight Broke Out After The Red Bulls-Galaxy Match
The MLS playoffs are underway—you knew that, right?—and after the L.A. Galaxy's 1-0 victory over New York Red Bulls things got a bit testy. It wasn't brouhaha levels, mostly because the guy who appeared suffer the most pain (Red Bulls defender Rafael Márquez) wasn't actually touched, as far as any...

Watch Tim Tebow Get Tebowed By The Man Who Sacked Him
Here's Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch taking Tebowing meta, striking the pose over Tim Tebow's prone body after sacking the Broncos quarterback in the first quarter of their matchup in Denver. It's like he raised an already-tired meme from the dead....

Let's All Enjoy The Poetry In Motion That Is Several Fat Men Lateraling A Sack-Fumble Recovery
The Jacksonville Jaguars, whose only real highlight play this season came in a torrential downpour, executed a lovely double-lateral after a Clint Session sack of Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the second quarter of their matchup at Reliant Stadium....

Possibly Drunk, Definitely Zubaz-Wearing Steelers Fan Is Very Excited About Being On NFL Network
Albert Breer's had some struggles in his first season as an NFL Network on-air correspondent, but he was blissfully unaware of the majesty appearing behind him in this standup from Heinz Field Sunday morning. Kudos to the Steelers fans for using an ambulance as their tailgate vehicle, as it probab...

They Do Spin-O-Ramas In College Hockey, Too
We showed you Patrick Kane's nifty spin-o-rama earlier this week, but here's one from the land of college hockey, where it's almost more impressive. The Wisconsin Badgers' Mark Zengerle puts the spin on a Nebraska-Omaha defender and finds teammate Tyler Barnes for an easy goal. (The Badgers droppe...

Arizona Is Once Again Responsible For A Batshit Crazy Late-Night Play
Pac-12 football has long been the viewing domain of East Coast drunks and insomniacs, Midwestern degenerate gamblers looking to recover the day's losses, and Pacific coast... football fans. And it's often the home to the weird, the wild, and the stupid, which is exactly what happens here as Arizon...

For The Second Week In A Row, Wisconsin Lost On A Ridiculous Last-Second Pass
People across the country might be celebrating Halloween tonight, but for the Wisconsin Badgers it feels more like Groundhog Day. While it wasn't technically a Hail Mary (it was first down and there were 30 seconds left) the details don't much matter as Ohio State—after giving up the lead late the...

Apparently Georgia Tech Has A Passing Game. Who Knew?
Georgia Tech is leading unbeaten and fifth-ranked Clemson 24-3 at the half, in part due to this Megatronic 44-yard catch by Stephen Hill off a Tevin Washington pass. Washington's been worse than trash most of the season as a passer & Clemson can't possibly play as inept an offensive game in the se...

There's A New Leader In The Dirtiest Hit Of The Year Contest
How art thee a dirty play? Let me count the ways:...

The St. Louis Cardinals Are World Champions
Forgive us for eating our dessert first, as Game Seven despite its inherent drama proved to be bland and lukewarm compared to Thursday night's feast for the senses. The deciding runs were scored with a third inning Allen Craig homer and in a fifth inning during which St. Louis brought two home wit...

This Cardinals Fan's Budweiser Sweater Just Landed On America's Christmas List
Forget that he's providing free advertising for both the Belgian-Brazilian brewing conglomerate and the stadium itself, that sweet knit sweater has America saying not "This Bud's for you" but "How the hell can I get one of those!?" Though personally it reminds me a bit more of this classic:...

The Texas Rangers Are Not World Champions, Thanks To David Freese
Game Six featured eleven innings, five official errors, numerous others in judgment, and what will not be Albert Pujols' final plate appearance in a Cardinals uniform—a tenth-inning intentional walk—but it was an official game and then some, one the Texas Rangers did not win. ...

Here's Mike Napoli's Grotesque Ankle Injury, Slowed Down To A Ridiculous Speed And Set To Music
A fourth-inning mishap Thursday night found Texas Rangers catcher Mike Napoli's ankle—and the viewing audience's stomach—turned. So here it is, in super-slow-mo and set to The Mountain Goats' "Orange Ball Of Pain" in the first of what I'll unimaginatively call "Deadspin Videos." (They were previou...

In Division II Football, They Play With The Difficulty Level Set To "Freshman"
Here's Minnesota State WR Dennis Carter scoring on a reverse during which he nearly goes out of bounds on both sidelines. Clearly he's been messing with the gameplay sliders, that cheater. This play would never work in real life. [CBSSN]...

A Partial Defense Of Joe Buck And Tim McCarver
"Buck should commentate funerals." "Fire this emotionless prick." "Buck makes Jim Nantz sound like Gus Johnson." "Tired and lame." The criticism of Joe Buck from the Internet peanut gallery is harsh—and even our friends at The Classical used this very space to describe his announcing as "fistful-o...

Visanthe Shiancoe Had His Own Bombs Bursting In Air Before Sunday's Packers-Vikings Game
Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe let his patriotism, and breakfast, shine Sunday before Minnesota's matchup with Green Bay. He even had the courtesy to warn bystanders—something about which he's been especially concerned in the past. [NFL]...

Nobody Came To T.O.'s Workout Except NFL Network, Who Spent An Hour Talking About Shirts
Terrell Owens is attempting a quick comeback from his rumored April surgery to repair a torn ACL, but his workout show Tuesday played to an empty crowd. That didn't keep NFL Network—led by Andrew Siciliano, Charles Davis, and Lindsay Soto—from dedicating a full hour to coverage, which proved to be...
