The Coyotes Were Damned Close To Moving To Seattle
In July 2013, the Glendale City Council voted—barely, by a 4-3 margin—to approve a complicated lease deal that was the last possible hope of keeping the Coyotes in Arizona. A new report from the Seattle Times reveals that the NHL had a contingency plan in place if the vote went the other way: moving...
Police Officer Levels Kid Running At Nick Saban After Ole Miss Win
Immediately after Ole Miss upset Alabama, officers escorted loser Nick Saban off the field to get him back to his lair. One jubilant Rebels fan ran too close to Saban. He was dealt with....
Angry Alabama Fan Is Back With More Burns For Colin Cowherd
The last time we heard from Phyllis, she was smarting from Alabama's Iron Bowl loss to Auburn, and called into Paul Finebaum's radio show to let off some steam by calling Colin Cowherd mean names, like "Cow-Turd." Alabama lost last weekend, and Cowherd once again drew Phyllis's ire with his comments...
Cardinals Fans Get Ugly In Clash With Ferguson Protesters
This guy right here, the one with "I am Darren Wilson" taped onto the back of his Cardinals jersey—an homage to the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot an unarmed teenager named Mike Brown to death in August—was at the Cardinals game last night. He, along with many other Cardinals fans, clashed...
You Like Bacon Because <em>They</em> Told You To
You are a North American, and probably a male, and so you like bacon. Bacon good, you say, making that Tim Allen caveman face: Me like bacon. Me not want to eat unbacon food. Bacon make food better. Me put bacon on burger, in chocolate, around scallop. Me brush teeth with bacon toothpaste. Me make l...
It Took 36 Browns QBs 28 Seasons To Match Peyton Manning's 500 TDs
Peyton Manning reached 500 touchdown passes yesterday. Five hundred is an arbitrary number. (A nice, round number that enshrines him in the elite company of one, but arbitrary nonetheless.) How can you truly grasp the weight of an arbitrary number? Set it as the constant, and see how extreme the oth...
'Baseball's Bolshevik': Why The Martyrdom Of Curt Flood Still Matters
You’re probably familiar with the story of Curt Flood, the ballplayer whose refusal in 1969 to accept a trade was the first major skirmish in the fight for free agency.

EverBank Field Pool Features Woman Wearing Jeans & A Sweatshirt
When the Jaguars announced they were adding swimming pools to EverBank Field, we all prepared for the inevitable bottomless moon shot on TV. Little did we know, the opposite of nudity was in store for the sad souls watching a game from Jacksonville....
Alabama Fan Throws Cup At Crowd, Is Promptly Taken Out
This Bama fan was sour after the Crimson Tide lost to Ole Miss, so he threw a cup at the jeering crowd. Bad idea. An overeager security guard took him down, because tossing a cup is apparently an offense worthy of a takedown on concrete steps. Everyone should take a lesson from the unfazed guy in th...

Lou Holtz Doesn't Know What Ameer Abdullah's Name Is
Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah is among a short list of players worthy of early-season Heisman talk, but ESPN college football analyst and race-baiter advocate Lou Holtz doesn't even know the Cornhuskers star's name—inserting, instead, something we're sure he finds appropriately "Ay-rabbic."...
This Demented Letter About A Packers Party Is In Comic Sans, Of Course
Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended. It was straightforward: A man said, "It's a big ol' nigger pile," during a fumble, and Bailey called him out for saying a racist thing. Because yes, calling a scrum for a foot...
Did John Elway's Son Get Special Treatment In His Assault Case?
Back in May, John Elway III was charged with assault and disturbing the peace after his girlfriend told police that he'd dragged her out of his car by her hair and pushed her to the ground when she tried to get back into the vehicle. At a hearing on Sept. 16, he copped a nice plea deal that includ...

Thursday Games Not Shitty, Says NFL After Another Shitty Thursday Game
So, that was gross. Vikings-Packers finished with a score of a million to a little, or somewhere in that range. (I have to look it up. I didn't watch, because I don't hate myself.) And yet, it wasn't close to the biggest blowout nor the worst game on the Thursday night slate so far....
