Final Four Teamcasts Leave Viewers Confused, Enraged About "Bias"
Tonight's Final Four games were aired on TBS, with team-specific broadcasts on TNT and TruTV.

Despite Slow Start, UConn Beats Top-Seeded Florida To Advance To Final

Uconn beat Florida 63-53 on a night they went the first four minutes without scoring a point and found themselve...

UNC Athlete Did Not Receive A-Minus On That Awful Rosa Parks Paper
This picture, which became the thumbnail for the whole UNC academic scandal, is not a picture of an A-minus paper. It's not even a picture of a completed paper. According to Mary Willingham, the whistleblower from the Outside The Lines piece in which the paper was shown, it is probably a draft parag...

Report: The Eagles Seriously Hated DeSean Jackson
Football fans are smarter than teams and media give them credit for.

Brendon Ayanbadejo Implies Miami Traded Him For Taking Paternity Leave
The fuss about Daniel Murphy missing two games to be there for the birth of his son seemed like a total nontroversy—the Mets were OK with it, and their fans were OK with it. (Seriously. It's two games. And Daniel Murphy. And the 2014 Mets.) The only people upset were New York radio hosts. But the de...

Matt Adams Shoves Fan After Diving For Foul Ball; Fan Flips The Bird

Even When The Cubs Win, They Lose
The Chicago Cubs salvaged a win in their opening series against the Pirates with a rain-soaked 3-2 victory at PNC Park today, but it wasn't without some embarrassment. A botched bunt by Gaby Sanchez left pitcher Pedro Strop and catcher John Baker in what we might call a compromising situation....

Never Buy New Sneakers In March. Never.
These are my new shoes. I have had them for, oh, a little longer than a week. They are muddy shit, now. I tell myself that I will clean them later, but we all know that even if that does happen—even if I do not forget; even if I am not overwhelmed by the obvious futility of such an enterprise—"cl...
