Dan Snyder's Open Letter Is As Gross As You'd Think It Would Be
Dan Snyder is that rare person who comes off as even more despicable when he's trying to be thoughtful than when he's just openly being a prick. Case in point: this hilariously tone deaf open letter to "Everyone in our Redskins Nation" (kind of like a reservation!) in defense of the team's nickname,...
What Would A Jaguars-Alabama Betting Line Look Like?
There's a dude at my gym who blasts Linkin Park through his Beats when he's in the locker room. But he doesn't WEAR his headphones. He uses them as speakers and plays the butt rock loud enough so that he can hear them without putting them on all the way. And then he sings along. That's grounds for m...

Should NFL Players Have Their ACLs Pre-Operated On?
I was at the gym shower today when I reached out and grabbed my towel from the hook, only I grabbed the wrong towel and started to dry myself off with another guy's towel, which was alarming because A) What if he had syphilis and wiped that syphilis onto his towel? and B) What if he noticed that I u...

Why People Hate Darren Rovell
This weekend, Steve Kandell at BuzzFeeᴅ took a brief respite from posting listicles of shit that makes you feel old to do a big #longread on ESPN sports business reporter and Boiler Room extra Darren Rovell.

The Greatest Rumor Of All Time
I was on a plane yesterday and had to drop anchor in the bathroom, so I sat down and did my business and then, without thinking, I did a courtesy flush while still sitting on the toilet. NEVER DO THIS ON AN AIRPLANE. I thought my dick was gonna get sucked out of the tailwing. Kind of exhilarating...

Screw Your Completist-ism: A Guide To Bandwagoning <em>Breaking Bad</em>
I couldn't stand it. I was sitting through the lightning delay during Sunday Night Football and so many people were tweeting and salivating over Breaking Bad that I began to feel sick to my stomach over never having watched it. Jesus could have appeared in the flesh and it wouldn't have generated ...
Steve Smith <em>Really</em> Wants You To Know He Ain't In Kerry Rhodes's Circle
Last week I wrote a post asking why free agent safety Kerry Rhodes couldn't find a spot on an NFL roster. Charlotte radio hosts Taylor Zarzour and Marc James were wondering the same thing, and put the question to Panthers wideout Steve Smith, who was disturbingly insistent in rejecting the idea....

Texans Fan Drinks Own Piss In Irrational Display Of Loyalty
There are many baffling things about this video of a Texans fan drinking his own urine in the wake of his team's comeback performance against the Chargers late Monday night. Why does he combine jars of warm urine and cold urine? Also, why the hell is he drinking his own piss? Here he is, in his own...
Oklahoma State? Pffft. Here's What A Real Sports Scandal Looks Like
If you're a scandal-porn aficionado as I am, you are bound to be left wanting by Sports Illustrated's beyond-exhaustive expose of Oklahoma State football. It's a story that promises, in bold type, lots of shit that I like in a scandal: MONEY (follow the money!), DRUGS (I like drugs!), and SEX (the c...
