Seattle's Game-Ending INT Makes No Sense No Matter How Much You Watch It
Presumably, you've seen this play by now. But repeated viewing is instructive, because enough looks at this miscarriage of tactics should put the lie to any rationalizations you might be batting around. ...
NBC Cut Away From Doug Baldwin's Wonderfully Vulgar TD Celebration
Is this the Randy Moss moon? Or are we calling it Doug Baldwin pooping out a football? Who cares, this rules. Blame NBC for cutting away before we could see if Doug did the shimmy, but those are good mooning/pooping fundamentals either way. ...
Snowblowers Are Coming For The Men
From the Washington Post's Wonkblog, an instructive statistic: ...
Hey, Help Out This Documentary About Dan Snyder, Who Sucks
Here's a good use of crowdfunding for once: A documentary on Washington football team owner Dan Snyder's lawsuit of writer Dave McKenna—now with Deadspin, then of the Washington City Paper—that seems to use the suit as a entry point into a more global investigation into how one man could be blessed ...
Cool New Camera-Helmet You Strap To Your Head For Live Sports Broadcasts
Sports guys have been strapping cameras to their heads for years and years, to varying degrees of success. Gizmodo's Brent Rose got a look at the very earliest stages of a brand new version being used at this week's X Games. It lets live broadcasts cut to the athlete-POV cam like it would any other ...
How To Survive At The Poker Table
Poker used to be cool. From Wild Bill Hickok getting shot up over aces and eights to Paul Newman and Robert Shaw eyefucking each other in The Sting, it has always held a place in American culture as the game you'd find grown-ass men playing in the smoke-filled back rooms of grown-ass places. Blame...
Hey, Here's A Photo Of Tiger Woods Without His Fake Front Tooth (Yes)
Go with me on this for a second. If you were gonna fly all the way out to Italy to surprise your girlfriend at her job—she's up for a record! this is important to her!—and go through the trouble of letting her family know ahead of time, and having them keep it a secret, you'd probably take a second ...
Just What The Hell Was That? The 2015 NFC Championship In Photos
The Seahawks and Packers just played one of the ugliest, unlikeliest, and all around most fantastic NFC championship games in recent memory. Seven turnovers, come-from-behind touchdowns and field goals, an onside kick recovered off a guy's head, and a punter throwing for a crucial fourth-down touchd...
Let's Laugh At These Poor Seahawks Fans Who Left The Game Early
Things were not looking very good for the Seahawks with a few minutes left in regulation. Then Seattle ran off a miracle comeback filled with miracle plays, and won on an overtime touchdown. It was a wonderful game. And these poor suckers missed the comeback because they left early. ...

UPDATE: Whoa, The 2016 Olympics Didn't Have 3-On-3 Basketball But The 2020 Olympics Really Will<em></em><em></em>
UPDATE (6/9/2017 11:30 a.m.): The Associated Press reports that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will include 3-on-3 basketball. The International Olympic Committee’s decision and its accompanying reasoning—that “the best urban team sport is 3-on-3 street basketball”—closely track the January 2015 story in t...
Nothing Prettier Than A Brandon Jennings Floater
Brandon Jennings's floater is a gorgeous, arcing, wisp of a shot; it darts just through and over a mess of limbs on its way up before dropping clean through the net, occasionally flying high enough to kiss off the top of the glass before coming back down. It's a perfect shot. There's nothing exactly...
"Scott Van Pelt Still Look Like A Penis," And Other Mean CFB Tweets
Here's the obligatory Disney conglomerate mean-tweet-reading reacharound. There's a good SVP joke in there, but as always, what you're looking for here is the moron who can't even ham up a tweet correctly (it's Jesse Palmer, who sucks). ...
Tommy Craggs Is The Michael Jordan Of Disagreeable Sonsofbitches
This block is one of Tommy’s favorite plays in sports. Wizards-era Michael Jordan, doddering around the top of the key like Marv Albert in heels, gets his shit blocked, turns, sizes up Ron Mercer taking the outlet down the right wing, starts pumping his old-ass knees and elbows hard enough to genera...
Meet The Dunce Ex-Cop Who Fucked Up The NFL's Ray Rice Investigation
Throughout the coverage of the NFL's handling of Ray Rice, talk of the league's investigatory arm has for the most part presumed a certain level of competence. The NFL employs a number of former law enforcement agents, and has billions of dollars besides—it's got to be capable of getting any informa...
Hahahaha The Cavs Traded Two First-Rounders For Timofey Mozgov
OK, there are a few ways to look at this. ...
How In The Ever-Lovin' Hell Can The Knicks Be So Much Bullshit?
Oh yes, this is the good stuff. This is the pure Colombian. This is the braindead, dogshit, dick-in-the-wall-socket-type Knicks experience that's been missing for the last, uh—fuck it, the last couple months, at least. Welcome back, assholes....
Yes, The Reversed Call In Lions-Cowboys Really Was Rd. 1's Biggest Play
A proper inventory of what did and didn't go in Detroit's favor in Sunday's playoff game against the Cowboys would include, at minimum, the NFL ruling that "first-time offender" Ndamukong Suh was eligible to suit up; a hot start followed by scoring just six points over the final three quarters (fo...
Report: Rams Owner Bought Land, Threatening To Build L.A. Stadium
Going by a Los Angeles Times report posted early this morning, Rams owner Stan Kroenke is set to saber-rattle the fillings right out of the city of St. Louis. Kroenke got his hands on 60 acres of real estate adjacent to the old Forum in Inglewood, and has made plans to combine it and the 238 acres n...
