Clumsy Dodgers Fan Drops Foul Ball, Falls Onto Field, Knocks Over Beer
This poor joker just couldn't do anything right in his pursuit of a ball that was pretty much hit right at him. And to top it off, he was wearing a glove. Watching this, I half-expected to see O.J. Simpson stumble into a bear trap, trip into a wedding cake, and fall off a boat....
Manny Pacquiao Says Gay Marriage Would Be Like "The Days Of Sodom and Gomorrah"
Manny Pacquiao fights Timothy Bradley, Jr. next month, and because it's not Mayweather, no one really cares. But Pacquiao has found another, more novel way of making headlines: speaking out against same-sex marriage at a time when the country is talking about little but. (Even Nets owner Jay-Z has ...
Some Poor Bastard's Cell Phone Went Off During John Tortorella's Press Conference, And Torts Was Not Happy
John Tortorella's press conferences are the stuff of legend: tense, terse legend. At least from the media side, they're more amusing than hostile. But there's going to come a day when the Rangers aren't winning, and the scribes are going to refer to their mental tally of all the times Torts bullie...
Los Angeles's Favorite Hockey Team Is A Basketball Team
I don't know if the Kings are the best team in hockey, but I know they're the hottest, and I know they have a better chance of winning a championship than the Lakers or Clippers do, and I know that's not the Kings' logo, NBC Los Angeles....
Canadian Lacrosse Brawl Is Best Lacrosse Brawl
An emailer tells us we're looking at the Intermediate A teams (so, 16-to-18-year-olds) of the Coquitlam Adanacs and Nanaimo Timbermen fighting it out at a game on Saturday. We love it, and not just because it features so many punchable faces getting punched. Presumably lacrosse has penalties for l...
Bernie Fine's Wife Is Making A "Major Announcement" On Wednesday In A Castle Outside Syracuse
Pictured is Belhurst Castle in Geneva, N.Y. Not a terribly inviting place. Nonetheless—or perhaps therefore—Laurie Fine, wife of accused molester (and former Syracuse assistant basketball coach) Bernie Fine, will speak there on Wednesday. Two of Fine's accusers, Zach Tomaselli and Floyd VanHooser, h...
The Capitals Are A Team Without A Coach Or A Plan
Dale Hunter will not return as coach of the Washington Capitals, it was announced just two days after the Caps lost a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It's a shock to just about everyone but the Capitals. As GM George McPhee said, "It wasn't unexpected." ...
Yet Another Mike Leach Book Inscription: "Craig James Is A Douche"
So now we have a reference to Craig James maybe having killed five hookers while at SMU, an explicit endorsement for anyone other than Craig James in Texas's U.S. Senate race, and now this, sent to us by a reader named Tyler. Mike Leach might have been better off writing a book filled with nothing b...
Jered Weaver Sings Along To "Hit The Road Jack" After Being Pulled From Game
Jered Weaver is having an excellent season. Only two starts removed from his no-hitter, he had allowed no earned runs in four of his first seven starts this spring. But then came Sunday night and the Texas Rangers and their heavy machinery. Weaver managed to strike out Josh Hamilton twice, but he al...
David Stern Doesn't Really Give A Shit About Flopping
The short answer is, there's no short answer to flopping. It's nearly impossible to legislate intent, except in the most egregious of cases. Soccer has long failed to address even the glaring dives, and the NHL's embellishment penalties are often more controversial than the plays that don't get whis...
Reports: DeSean Jackson Pulled Over By Pennsylvania State Trooper Before Charity Appearance Saturday Morning
Yesterday, TMZ claimed to have obtained photos of DeSean Jackson being pulled over by a Pennsylvania state trooper Saturday morning, as he was on his way to a charity event for the pancreatic cancer foundation he created following his father's death in 2009....
Dan Majerle Caught An Automatic Double At Tonight's Diamondbacks Game
In his 14-year NBA career, Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle made his name with intensity and a freakish body. Tonight "Thunder Dan" showed skills in a sport other than basketball, as the swingman—while grabbing a bite at a Chase Field picnic area—nabbed an automatic double off the bat of Geraldo Parra...
Three Arkansas Football Players Charged With Burglary In Harebrained Scam For The Ages

Harvey Updyke, the man arrested for allegedly poisoning the sacred tree's at Auburn's Toomer's Corner, who may or may not still reside in his car in the woods, was kicked out of an SEC Softball tournament game by Alabama officials yesterday....
USHL Goalie Stephon Williams Makes Barehanded Save
USHL goalie Stephon Williams was left all alone on an island to face a point blank shot and he did not even have his glove. It wouldn't matter, though. He went ahead and made the barehanded save anyway. Williams would stop 29 of the 31 shots fired his way on Monday, as he anchored the Waterloo Bla...
Bryce Harper Needed 10 Stitches After Hitting Himself In The Face With His Bat
The Nationals beat the Reds last night 7-3 so it was really only an afterthought that Bryce Harper beat himself 10-0. After grounding out to second in the seventh inning, "Harper whacked a wall down the tunnel from the Nationals dugout with his bat." The bat then Mike Emricked off the wall and hit ...
Sacha Baron Cohen Doesn't Know You're Tired of Him
One of the surest signs you've become a successful comedian is that a lot of people absolutely can't stand your shtick. When you're starting out in standup or as a performer, you're desperate to get noticed, but you also have the time to hone your act and experiment and figure out your unique thing,...
Accomplished Female Jockey Photographed Naked Atop A Horse, Of Course
Chantal Sutherland is one of the most accomplished jockeys in modern-day horse racing. She's won more than 900 races, including dozens of major stakes races. She appeared in several episodes of HBO's horse racing-centric drama Luck, and in March became the first woman to ride in the $10 million Duba...
Here Are The Best Entries In Our Drunk, Sulking Patrick Kane Photoshop Contest
This fine entry kicked off our Patrick Kane photoshop contest, but somehow we knew our wise readers had more in store. And you did not disappoint. I've picked the best ones here—with special commendation for our winner at the end—because we can cram only so many images into a gallery, but keep in mi...
