Sigh. Here Is Johnny Manziel Kind Of Doing The Nae Nae.
Well, we really boned ourselves here. Our non-exhaustive list of Johnny Manziel dirt that we will actually pay for included a $325 bounty for a video of Johnny Manziel doing the Nae Nae. (Why $325? Who the fuck knows.) Naturally, a tipster reached out to us with a video of Johnny Manziel doing the N...
Here's Mark Jackson Doing Some Intense Sidewalk Preachin'
The other day, Mark Jackson went out to do some preachin' in Los Angeles, right over by the pawn shop and the check cashing joint. He's got a lot of energy, but I'm a little disappointed that he didn't find a way to work "Hand down, man down!" into his sermon....
Yankees Fan Caught Sleeping In Stands Sues Everyone For Defamation
The man in the screencap above, taken from ESPN's April 13 broadcast of a game between the Red Sox and Yankees, is a deeply sensitive man who does not understand how the internet works.

A Non-Exhaustive List Of Johnny Manziel Dirt We Will Actually Pay For
We get a lot of tips about Johnny Manziel, and most of them read something like this: "Hey, I have a [photo/video] of a [drunk/high] Johnny Manziel [singing along to Drake in a club/rolling up a joint/reaching for a bong/popping bottles/snorting coke]. How much will you pay me for it?" Here is our...

Former UNC star P.J. Hairston—who was forced to turn pro and spend last season in the D-League after being suspended by the NCAA for receiving impermissible benefits—went to a local pickup game at the YMCA this weekend, where he got mad and punched a 17-year-old kid he was playing against. ...

The NFL Is Dumping Bad News On Us While Nobody Is Paying Attention
The Friday afternoon news dump is a tried and true tactic for any organization looking to get some negative press in and out of the news cycle as quickly as possible. With tomorrow being a holiday and most of America already checked out for the long weekend, the NFL decided to unleash a classic news...
Yankees Reliever Suspended 50 Games For Fun Drugs
Yankees reliever Alfredo Aceves has been hit with a 50-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, but not for doing the kinds of drugs that usually get guys punished. Aceves wasn't trying to cheat, he was just trying to party....
Beer Vendor Catches Foul Ball In Bucket, Denies Greedy Lady
The catch here is certainly something to be proud of, but this beer vendor's greatest accomplishment was staving off the grabby lady who tried to swoop in and vulture the souvenir for herself. That's not how adults are supposed to act at baseball games, greedy lady! ...

If there's one thing anonymous NFL decision-makers love, it's talking shit about Geno Smith. Poor Geno was recently ranked as the worst starting QB in the league by anonymously polled front-office types, and earned an Akili Smith comparison from one. What's a guy gotta do to get more respect than Br...
Belgium's Shot Map From Yesterday's Game Is Bananas
This, from Squawka, was produced by the goddamn Belgian firing squad that Tim Howard stood in front of for 120 minutes during yesterday's soul-crusher. The man saw 39 shots—the fourth-most ever fired in a World Cup game since they started counting in 1966—and he turned away 16 of them. Nobody has ...
