Niners Interrupt Their Rebuild To Smack Down Ben McAdoo And The Giants<em></em>
The San Francisco 49ers earned their first win of the season today, in Week 10, by beating the Giants 31-21. And yes, it still counts as a win even if it’s against Ben McAdoo’s band of injured skill players and demotivated defensemen. Led by a quarterback they don’t even plan to start in two weeks, ...
CFL Team Raises Bar For Touchdown Celebrations
Up north in the CFL playoffs, the Ottawa Redblacks outdid any NFL team this season with a limbo celebration after a first-quarter touchdown by Diontae Spencer, who was the limbo stick after scoring. And one end is a guy named Rhymes!...
John Fox Challenge Turns Bears First-And-Goal Into Turnover
Another frustrating NFL rule is starting to assert itself. After the Jets got screwed out of a touchdown last month, the “fumble at the pylon” ruling reared its head again on a run from the Bears’ Benny Cunningham....
Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal
I think I’ll be giving Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman way too much credit if I imply in any way that he knew what he was doing here. But even if his goal yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden was a complete accident, it’s still something I’ve never seen before....

The Celtics Are Better Than They Have Any Damn Right To Be
Apparently the Celtics don’t even need players. Just Brad Stevens standing on the sideline, pointing his brain waves at the ball for 48 minutes. Last night they lost Kyrie Irving after teammate Aron Baynes elbowed him across the nose, fell behind by as many as 18 points, and came all the way back to...

The Warlords Who Rule Chechnya And Bahrain's Repressive Regime Are Bonding Over MMA
This past April 5, Ramzan Kadyrov, the longtime head of the Chechen Republic, arrived in Bahrain for an official state visit with the kingdom’s royal family. Flanked by a delegation from the Chechen government—intimidating henchmen with atrocious résumés of human rights abuses among them—Kadryov bro...

Boston Sports Radio Chud Apologizes For Idiotic Rant About Roy Halladay's Death
Boston-based Felger and Mazz co-host Michael Felger went for 11 minutes on Wednesday’s show mocking MLB pitcher Roy Halladay’s death and calling him a “moron,” which was a bizarre, stupid angle to take the day after a guy died. On today’s show, Felger issued an apology....
What Roy Halladay Meant To Philadelphia<em></em>
My memory is vivid. Okay, it’s only been seven years. But if I close my eyes I can see us sitting there at the bar: Upstairs at Jose Pistola’s, the place that inspired the Dallas Sucks beer, cheering on the Phillies in the first game of the 2010 playoffs....

One Year After The Election, We Still Wanna Die
Yesterday marked the anniversary of Donald Trump’s election victory and despite the encouraging gains made by Democrats the other night in down-ballot races, particularly in Virginia, filthy liberals like me are still, uh, not exactly soothed to have a ignorant bag of Velveeta in charge of things. I...

Report: Giants Players Have Given Up On Ben McAdoo
ESPN’s Josina Anderson is reporting some damning, if unsurprising, quotes coming from a couple of unnamed players in the 1-7 New York Giants locker room. They claim that the Giants are leaderless with coach Ben McAdoo at the helm, that he can’t communicate with players and isn’t making the right dec...
