This Is The Angriest America Has Been At Referees Since The 2006 Super Bowl
What would motivate you to Google "referee?" Nothing good (unless you're counting sexy bedroom role-play costumes, in which case, uh, nothing good). The above Google Trends graph (updated last night) shows the relative frequency of "referee" searches in the United States since 2004. The term tends ...
This Is Not Golden Tate, ESPN
We get that things were a bit hectic after the final decision in last night's joke of a professional sports contest. But really, ESPN? Identifying Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson as receiver Golden Tate? That's almost as bad as misidentifying an interception for a touchdown catch....

The NFL Is Just Trolling Fans Now
Seattle wins on Hail Mary! What a simultaneous catch by Golden Tate! Why, just look at the picture, it's a wild catch by Golden Tate! This must be the one they mean when they say "Seattle wins on Hail Mary," right?...

The Lingerie Football League Announces That It Fired "A Couple Crews Which Apparently Are Now Officiating In The NFL" Because Of Incompetence
After the Hall of Fame game in August, Mike Pereira let it slip that Craig Ochoa, the referee who worked that game, had been fired from the Lingerie Football League. The Lingerie Football League—which recently uprooted itself from its US host cities to barnstorm in Canada, the United States, and Aus...
Yahoo! Sports' Mike Silver Had A Single, Five-Word Postgame Question To Aaron Rodgers: "What The Fuck Just Happened?"
If the mark of a good reporter is asking the question on the mind of each of his or her readers, Yahoo!'s Mike Silver nailed it. In the seconds after Seattle was gifted a Monday Night Football win by replacement officials, the prominent NFL writer approached Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers and...
What In The World Just Happened At The End Of <em>Monday Night Football</em>?
This is the farce we've been waiting for. Packers-Seahawks ended with a worthless extra-point attempt after the scab referees initially just let both teams go back to their respective locker rooms, having awarded Seattle a game-winning touchdown as time expired. That's the play up there: a Seaha...
Well, That Was An Enormous Disaster: Seattle Beat Green Bay, In Three GIFs
Green Bay, Seattle : Aaron Rogers was sacked 9 times tonight and only a few times did he do it to himself. There was a bizarre fight in the end zone when Greg Jennings was just tackled out of nowhere. No throw, no blocking, guy just tackled him for some reason and Jennings did not appreciate it. Se...
Remember When A Shirtless Jose Canseco Really <i>Meant</i> Something?
The year was 1990 and the times were simple. Boston was still pink hat-less. Barry Bonds was a skinny Pirate. Billy Beane was one year removed from a 54 OPS+ season, his final one. And Jose Canseco appeared on various baseball cards in blue jeans—no shirt. The image was used for several cards, but n...
Joe Biden Loves Cheerleaders
On Friday, Joe Biden met with a bunch of high school and middle school kids in New Hampshire and welcomed them inside the big top. While speaking to the kids, Biden gushed about college cheerleaders and how they are the most impressive athletes around. I don't mention this to open a debate on wheth...

Josh Hamilton's Off Limits List Keeps Getting Longer
Josh Hamilton has not played in a game since he took himself out against the Angels with what was then called a "sinus problem." He has missed the better part of a week since. For a while there, people weren't sure what was going on. Migraines, sinus headaches, depressed levels of intestinal fortit...
Green Bay Packers At Seattle Seahawks: Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
The Packers visit the Seahawks this evening and, honestly, all I'm hoping for is to see just how far we can take this rotten officiating. The Seattle crowd, of course, is responsible for letting us all know, the one or two times a year they are a game we all actually watch, which team leads the lea...

Arkansas Coach John L. Smith Apparently Thinks The Razorbacks Play In Alabama
Another day, another something to embarrass Arkansas football coach John L. Smith. The Razorbacks have lost three in a row, Smith is broke, and here he is giving a rah-rah speech to the Little Rock Touchdown Club earlier today, only to mistake what state he's even talking about. (Hint: Alabama's t...
