Last Night's <i>Mad Men</i>, With The Dialogue Removed
Mad Men's final season began last night (technically, this is part two of the final season, but nobody really buys that), and while the visuals (Roger's mustache!

Professional Soccer Team Somehow Fails To Score On 5 vs. 1
Down 0-1 in stoppage time yesterday in a Swiss Super League match against Young Boys, FC Vaduz sent nearly everybody forward in attack.

MSU Fan Interrupts Allie LaForce Live Report To Propose To Her
Just hours after a Kentucky fan told ESPN’s Kaylee Hartung that she was “gorgeous” during an interview, Michigan State cranked up the inappropriate behavior when a Spartans fan invaded Allie LaForce’s live shot to propose to the (already married) CBS reporter.

Chip Kelly Is Wreaking Havoc On Philly Sporting Goods Stores
Nobody is quite sure what Chip Kelly is doing, and that probably includes Chip Kelly himself.

Kevin Kiley hosts a morning sports radio show in Cleveland, and today he wanted to talk about the NFL’s decision to hire a female referee for the first time ever.

They're Gonna Crucify Me: A Heathen's Guide To Easter
Life gets more complicated and demanding as you become an adult.

Notts County Ladies Use Fake Argument And Trickeration On Free-Kick Goal
Why are Notts County lining up that free kick like that? Seems kind of weird. Huh, it looks like Laura Basset's going to run right into her teammates. Wait, now her teammate jumped out at her and they're arguing. They better cut it out and get back to...ooooh, I see what you did there! Clever!...
Brad Marchand Slashes Opponent In The Nads
You are allowed to do some pretty violent things to your opponent in the NHL, but one of the things you are not allowed to do is hit them in the coin purse with your stick.
