Godsmack Vocalist Taunts Seahawks Fans At Washington Show
Godsmack vocalist Salvatore “Sully” Erna is from Massachusetts, and he loves the Patriots. Surprising, right? At the band’s Nov. 4 show in Yakima, Wash., he acknowledged Seattle Seahawks fans in the crowd, and improvised a song about how the team sucks “big fuckin’ dick.”...
Greg Hardy Accuses Critics Of Discrimination

Report: Raiders Linebacker Investigated For Taunting A Police Dog
Hey, did you know that taunting a police dog in the state of Pennsylvania is a felony? I’m willing to bet Ray-Ray Armstrong, the Raiders linebacker who is reportedly under investigation for doing just that, didn’t know it was a felony....
Geno Smith's Fine With The Guy Who Punched Him; Next Question
Bills coach Rex Ryan occasionally likes to choose game captains with an underlying message. Last Sunday, he picked three former Dolphins against Miami. This Thursday, I.K. Enemkpali—the former Jets linebacker who punched quarterback Geno Smith in the face over $600—will be a captain. Today, Smith sa...
Spectacularly Drunk Browns Fan Just Can't Pull It Together
This video comes to us from a fan who attended last Thursday night’s game between the Bengals and Browns. Please enjoy The Tale Of Drunk-Ass Mark And His Exasperated Friends:...
Wes Welker Is Back And It Feels Terrible
By all accounts—his own, his teams’, and a top NFL-affiliated concussion specialist’s—Wes Welker is healthy and ready to play. St. Louis badly needs a receiver. Still, when the Rams announced they signed Welker to bolster their etiolated passing attack, my first reaction was disappointment. It’s a s...
Police: Brawling, Hospitalized Cowboys And Eagles Fans Are Brothers (UPDATE)
In the video above (via The Big Lead), you can see a pretty good right hook from a Cowboys fan take down an Eagles fan at last night’s game in Dallas. Just another example in a long list of football fans exhibiting uncivilized behavior and beating the shit out of each other at a game, right?...
Aqib Talib Has A Terrible Excuse For Poking Dwayne Allen's Eye
Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib put his fingers in Colts tight end Dwayne Allen’s eye near the end of Sunday’s game, and was flagged for unnecessary roughness. The penalty gave Indianapolis a first down, and killed any last chance for Denver to go for the tie or win. The NFL issued a one-game suspensi...
This Trick Play Was A Terrible Idea And It Worked Perfectly
Who’s ready for some hot DIII action?! Not Carleton College, which fell for the ol’ fake-extra-point-fake-toss-no-look-behind-the-back-pass-two-point-conversion by St. Thomas. The oldest trick in the book....
Cam Newton Vs. The Packers Banner Has A Happy Ending
Banners! Let’s talk about banners. It’s much more interesting than talking about how the Panthers are 8-0*, and with a two-game lead plus the tiebreaker over the Packers, are firmly in the driver’s seat for homefield advantage in the NFC. Because homefield isn’t so great if you’ve got a bunch of a v...
Bills Fan's Moonsault Attempt Somehow Doesn't End In Disaster
The weather’s getting colder, but that won’t affect the Free Folk in Buffalo. They can survive the upcoming winter. As the leaves fall, so do the tables. This Bills fan embraced the changing of the seasons by performing a moonsault off a pickup truck bed. He actually pulled it off pretty well....
University Of Missouri President Tim Wolfe Resigns
University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe announced this morning that he will resign from his position. Wolfe’s resignation was spurred on by students, including the football team, who were unsatisfied with his handling of several on-campus incidents of racism....
Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Is A Bathroom Hog
With the Vikings playing in the University of Minnesota’s stadium until their own new building is complete, visiting dignitaries don’t have the level of luxury they may be used to. Wherever Rams owner Stan Kroenke watched the game from, it didn’t have adequate private restrooms. So he commandeered t...
The Packers Were Mad At Their Tablets And Each Other
The Packers have lost two games in a row with Aaron Rodgers starting at quarterback, which hasn’t happened since 2010. Green Bay was contained against the Broncos last Sunday, and yesterday, the Panthers held on for a 37-29 win. Multiple players showed their frustrations on the sideline....
Greg Hardy Went Out Of His Way To Avoid The Media
If you were wondering why there were no postgame comments from Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy to read this morning, it’s because he did everything possible to avoid talking to the media after last night’s loss to the Eagles....
