Reggie Jackson To OKC Heckler: "Suck My Dick, Bitch-Ass Nigga"
Turns out Russell Westbrook wasn’t the only Oklahoma City resident with some choice words for former Thunder point guard Reggie Jackson. Jackson wasn’t too happy about this, telling our man, “Suck my dick, bitch-ass nigga.”...

Butt Goal
Cambridge United beat Notts County 3-1 in League Two yesterday, thanks in part to Ben Williamson’s butt, which scored the go-ahead goal. The butt in question is the second-highest scoring ass of League Two, after Josh Windass, who has 10....

Someone Please Teach Blake Bortles The Rules Of Football
Blake my friend, you have to pass it before you go past the line of scrimmage. I understand that the blue line on the broadcasts isn’t on the field, but c’mon man, this is at least four yards past the line. You got it? Cool....

Controversy Over Lumberjack Celebration Engulfs Grey Cup
In what’s probably the most Canadian sentence I will ever write, the Edmonton Eskimos have successfully lobbied the Canadian Football League to restrict the Ottawa Redblacks from bringing along the loggersports team that traditionally saws off a celebratory log slice after touchdowns. The Grey Cup t...

Cam Newton is normally as cool as a cucumber (remember when he gleefully smiled his way through a training camp scuffle?), but he got a bit rattled here when an Alabama fan brought up the alleged pay for play scandal that engulfed Newton during his college career....

Russell Westbrook On Former Teammate Reggie Jackson: "Who?"
Reggie Jackson left the Oklahoma City Thunder under contentious circumstances last season. He wanted the minutes and opportunities of a starting player, so he was not the ideal player to back up Russell Westbrook, and it really harmed the Thunder’s chemistry last season. After he got shipped out to ...

"Ah, Fuck!"
If only Aaron Rodgers realized he would suffer an injured wrist moments after this, he might have come up with an even more profane ejaculation....

Jason Kidd Tossed For Slapping Ball Out Of Ref's Hands
The Milwaukee Bucks—a popular preseason pick to make some noise in the Eastern Conference after signing Greg Monroe—fell to 6-9 Wednesday night after losing to the DeMarcus Cousins-less Sacramento Kings at home. Late in the fourth quarter head coach Jason Kidd’s frustration boiled over, and he slapp...

<i>Red Cliff </i>Is The Crazed War Epic John Woo Was Reborn To Make
It’s probably fair to say that John Woo went limping back to Hong Kong. In the ’80s and early ’90s, Woo changed the Hong Kong film industry by making some of the best action movies of all time: Hard Boiled, The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, Bullet in the Head. He then spent a decade in Hollywood, where...

Nobody Can Stop The Pacers Right Now
What the Pacers did to the Wizards last night should be goddamn illegal....

Coe's Dilemma: Does This Bribery And Corruption Make Me Look Complicit?
Back in July, when in Sebastian Coe’s telling he was as pure and innocent as a spring lamb in the #2 spot at the International Association of Athletics Federations, he was in fact mulling over whether “we” in the West (meaning the US and Europe, maybe Canada, but definitely not Mexico) were being to...

Apparently, You <i>Can</i> Wear A Hoodie Under An NFL Jersey
This is the NFL, where you will get fined for wearing the wrong cleats, or eye black, or headphones, or baseball cap. So when Packers WR James Jones played the entire 30-13 win over the Vikings with a hoodie on underneath his jersey, most everyone figured he’d have to cut a check to pay for his cozi...

Bengals Blast "Ridiculous" Penalty That Set Up Cardinals Win
It’s a bit of a shame that a fun, close game between two of the league’s best teams came down to a crucial and obscure penalty, but there’s nothing to be done: it was almost certainly the correct call, and despite the Bengals’ protestations that it was “ridiculous,” they got caught....

Joe Flacco Will Miss The Rest Of The Season With A Torn ACL
Well shit. Everyone on the Ravens is getting catastrophically injured. Joe Flacco has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. He tore it on the play above but stayed in to finish out the game despite “an enormous amount of pain.”...

Oh Huh, The Dallas Mavericks Might Be Good Again
The Dallas Mavericks were lumped in with the Portland Trailblazers as teams most likely to drop out of the playoffs this year. They missed out on Texas natives DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge, then overpaid for Wesley Matthews. The Great Emoji War was not kind to them. And yet here they are, wi...
