Atlanta Beat The Pants Off San Diego, In Just One GIF
Atlanta 27, San Diego 3: Matt Ryan threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns and the Falcons destroyed Philip Rivers and the Chargers.

Local News Anchor Randomly Slips An "Overrated" Into A Segment About Dwyane Wade's Book Signing
It would have been so easy to get through this by just reading off the teleprompter. Few segments require editorializing less than the "sports star promotes book about fatherhood" segment. But the teleprompter's not enough for the anchor of WJLA in Washington DC, who calls Dwyane Wade "the overrat...
An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions
Oregon obliterated an inexplicably ranked Arizona team 49-0 last night, relying on its rapid-fire offense and five Wildcats turnovers to blow out Rich Rodriguez's squad. (Note to pollsters: beating a team you mistakenly ranked in the preseason shouldn't impress you.)...
Happiness Is An Enormous Bird
Public transportation is a wonderful thing; a cheap way of getting from A to B if you're not in all that much of a hurry, with the added benefit of the entire world on display for you at any given moment. Sometimes you see a homeless woman hunched over the newspapers she is obsessively shredding, s...
Tim Keown's Story On Joe Mauer Wants Minnesota To Get Bent
You're probably used to this sort of subtle cudgel being twirled at cities like New York and Boston, which tend to chew through their heroes just as quickly as they can exalt them.

TMZ—of all places—is reporting that Derek Boogaard's family will sue the NHL Player's Association for the money left on the enforcer's contract when he died in May 2011 (as well as some punitive damages). The family says that the NHLPA was supposed to help them collect the remaining balance, but did...

How To Eat The New Candy Corn Oreo (Which Isn't As Gross As It Sounds)
Candy corn, folks at home: candy corn sucks. This is neither an ideological nor a conceptual complaint; that is to say, candy corn sucks not because it (almost certainly) originated in some steamy, foul-smelling, nightmarish industrial wasteland, or because it is artificially flavored, or because i...

The Mets Would Like To Offer You Two Bucks Off Detergent (If A Statistical Oddity Happens)
Two days ago, the Mets finished a series in a night game that had been rained out the previous Tuesday and rescheduled.
