Australian Cameraman Braves Shark-Infested Water To Film A Shark Attacking A Marlin
A couple of Australians sailed out into the ocean to release a marlin back into the wild. That sounds like a nice story, right? Well, it would have been, if a giant shark hadn't come out of nowhere to rip the marlin to pieces in front of them and their cameraman, who was stuck in the water at the ...
Foolish New York Assemblyman Makes MMA In New York More Dangerous
Way back when (circa 2000), MMA was banned in many states. In the places where it was legal, the bloodsport was regulated with varying degrees of competency. Today, the MMA map looks quite different as sanctioning and better rules have spread across the land. With one notable holdout....
Jim Boeheim Says "Bullshit" A Lot
Boeheim, the Nietzsche or perhaps Holden Caulfield of our time, declares "It's all bullshit." Sure, he's talking about close conference games toughening up his team for March, but we like to believe he's making a statement about the human condition. [via Press Coverage]...
Here's What The Dunk Contest Looks Like Without The Dumb Props
Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan says he is done competing in any "prop dunk contest" for NBA All-Star weekend. DeRozan finished third in Saturday's contest, and he lost out to Blake Griffin, who dunked over a car with a choir singing R. Kelly in the background, and JaVale McGee, who brought out an ext...
Texas A&M Recruit Jordan Green Eschews Cars, Dunks Over Defenders
Jordan Green, out of Flower Mound High School in Texas, had a pretty epic dunk this weekend. So epic, in fact, that he knocked over a player on the opposing team. So while Blake Griffin was jumping over cars in the dunk contest this weekend, Jordan Green was jumping over people. The only way to up...
OK, Who Pooped In Dusty Baker's Dugout Spot?
Jon Paul Morosi has a nice little profile of Cubs manager Mike Quade, but he buries the lede. Namely, that in Dusty Baker's last season in Chicago, someone left a going-away present for him....
I Can't Walk The Line: Dustin Johnson's Hilariously Failed Sobriety Test
Golfer Dustin Johnson was pulled over and arrested for DUI almost two years ago. Only now the dashboard footage from the arresting officer emerges. Thrill to Dustin not listening to instructions! Marvel as he teeters over! Stand awed as he pleads down to a charge of reckless driving!...
Footage Shows Drunk Utah Linebacker Driving Wrong Way On Highway
A Utah state trooper pulled over to a car parked on the shoulder of S.R. 201 early Sunday morning — and facing in the wrong direction. The driver was an intoxicated University of Utah linebacker, Nai Fotu, who told the trooper he'd had "one beer, two beers" with his teammates at the University cam...
Child Blackhawk Reporter Has The World By Its Balls
Hiring cute children as on-air talent is no longer a meme. It's an affliction. The innocently invasive questions. The gnat-like attention spans. We should be sick of it. But, hell, this little feller the Chicago Blackhawks have working the locker room is still fairly adorable as he talks to player...
Barcelona Players Tripped Up By Language Barrier
The most amusing thing about this jokey dubbed-over video is that it's probably accurate. Ibrahim Affelay is from Holland, the new signing by Barcelona, potentially a good one and clearly not versed in Catalan. Is nobody studying Dutch in grade school anymore?...
Newspaper Actually Photoshops Out Player To Make Play Appear Offside
We take it for granted that our local media outlets are going to be homers, and that's generally fine. We're fans, and we want to get coverage from our perspective. But no one can complain about Hawk Harrelson after seeing how a Spanish paper airbrushed a crucial player from a photo to make an erron...
Super Slo-Mo Dunk Videos Are Actually Quite Beautiful
Credit the NBA for having the most active YouTube channel. But we were taken aback by these hi-res, super slow-motion videos of DeMar DeRozan, Blake Griffin and JaVale McGee in the dunk contest (Serge Ibaka gets hosed again). Set to haunting music, they're simply: art....
ESPN Personalities Have Shilled For A Lot More Than Just Nike: A Video Compilation
Last week, The New York Times reported that three ESPN College GameDay anchors — Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso — have had shoe contracts with Nike.

NFL Prospects Work On Their "Run From A Gorilla" Times
Tom Shaw runs a training program for NFL hopefuls at the Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando. That happens to be adjacent to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Shaw did not let the proximity go to waste....
NASCAR Media Take The Restrictor Plates Off Their Praise For Trevor Bayne
OK. We get it. Trevor Bayne is going to save NASCAR. Or something like that. On Sunday, the apple-cheeked 20-year-old sent the motor sports world into an onanistic reverie by becoming the youngest driver to win the Daytona 500. It was only Bayne's second start in the big leagues of the Sprint Cup....
Troy "Escalade" Jackson, Not Your Typical Streetballer, Dies At 35
Troy "Escalade" Jackson, the younger brother of NBA guard Mark Jackson, was found dead in Los Angeles on Sunday morning. The Jamaica, Queens native was 35 years old. At 6'10" and 400 pounds, Jackson wasn't quick and he didn't really have leaping ability — two near requirements for streetball — but...
Non-Alcoholic Beer Is Probably Not The Future Of Sports Drinks
Imagine a world, where exhausted athletes were handed squeeze bottles full of beer. Where marathon runners snatched plastic cups loaded with stout. Where Super Bowl winning coaches were doused with coolers full of hoppy, bubbly, pale ale. It's not an impossible dream, sports fans. It's here....
