Nick Saban Gets Heated With Media, Offers Some Impromptu Marriage Advice

University Of Alabama "Appalled" At Hurricane Katrina-Referencing Sign
The #7 Alabama Crimson Tide host #4 LSU today. It should be a good game, and like any rivalry game, it’s had its fair share of fan pranks, celebrity (kinda) appearances (almost), and moments of staggering public idiocy from college students. ...

<i>Houston Chronicle</i> Accidentally Burns Urban Meyer, Apologizes
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer took a dig at Alabama today when he disclosed the name of his team’s field goal return play. (It’s a reference to the 2013 Iron Bowl, in which the Crimson Tide found a way to fuck up a tie game with one second left in regulation, you see.) One employee at the Housto...
Andrea Bargnani Shoots An Air Ball, Nearly Kills His Coach

Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin Wants To Switch Nicknames
Buccaneers running back Doug Martin is commonly known as “Muscle Hamster,” but he really hates that nickname. We’ve covered this before. This week, Martin revived his plea to give him any other nickname. That’s not how it works....
Alex Killorn Does Not Do Well In Haunted Houses
Lightning players Alex Killorn and Jason Garrison checked out a haunted house yesterday, and the best way to watch this video is to ignore Garrison. He goes first—because Killorn can’t handle it—but keep your eyes on Killorn in the back. He’s scared by everything....
Bernard Pierce Doesn't Have An Explanation For Why He Blocked For The Other Team
If Bernard Pierce played for the Buccaneers, he would have done a good job on this punt from Saturday’s game, because Bobby Rainey returned the ball for 58 yards. Alas, Pierce is still on the Jaguars, so his play makes no sense....

Freddy Adu Is Still Alive, Actually Playing Some Pretty Good Soccer
The last time we heard from the young man—despite being (in)famous for over a decade, can you believe he’s still only 26?—formerly known as The Next Pelé, Freddy Adu had flopped out of Finland’s league and was spending his considerable free time on the nightclub hosting circuit. But Adu did make it ...
So, 3-On-3 Overtime Is Pretty Fun, Huh?
Along with coach’s challenges, the most noticeable new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the debut of 3-on-3 overtimes meant to decrease the number of games that go to a shootout.

Rays Ruin Mark Buehrle's Last Game With First Grand Slam Of The Season
The Rays haven’t had a great season. They’ll finish with a losing record, even after they most likely beat the Blue Jays today. Remarkably, Tampa Bay went the first 161 games never hitting a grand slam, despite 142 plate appearances with the bases loaded. That changed today when Joey Butler went dee...
Jose Fernandez Teases Evan Longoria After Giving Up A Home Run
Consider this friendly exchange between Jose Fernandez and Evan Longoria a change of pace from Jonathan Papelbon’s Fightin’ Around The League tour.
