Mark Sanchez Kept The Machine Running Smoothly And Then Had Cheesesteaks
This is not a declaration about how Mark Sanchez has revitalized his career in one night, nor of confident belief that the Eagles' playoff hopes are intact. If there's anything to draw from last night's blowout of the Panthers, it's just that Chip Kelly's team still has a chance. That's good enoug...
Cam Newton Should Have Just Stayed Down
Watching a primetime blowout like the one the Panthers and Eagles gave us last night is never all that fun, but they are even less fun when they include an increasingly hobbled quarterback getting tortured on national TV....
Phil Jackson Gets Mad At Perfectly Legitimate Criticism
The New York Knicks aren't a very good basketball team, and at times this season they have clearly struggled to implement coach Derek Fisher's version of the triangle offense. When asked by reporters about the Knicks, this led NBA commissioner Adam Silver to direct some light teasing their way. Via ...
Take This Photo Of Mark Sanchez And Photoshop It

NFL And NFLPA Locked In Dispute Over Adrian Peterson's Reinstatement
The dispute surrounding Adrian Peterson's reinstatement—or lack thereof—after pleading no contest to child injury charges is heating up.

Twitter Users Harass Marc Trestman's Daughters After Bears Loss
The Packers manhandled the Bears last night, and Chicago fans have had it with head coach Marc Trestman. Some of these angry, impotent people have access to Twitter, and have decided to direct their rage onto Trestman's two daughters, Chloe and Sarahanne, two people who have no coaching or playing d...
Keeper Gets Medical OK One Day After Spinning In Air, Landing On Head
Yesterday, Villarreal goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo took an ugly tumble, cartwheeling through the air after leaping for a ball and landing flush on his neck. Despite feeling "dizzy" and "groggy," Asenjo continued playing. Despite not remembering the incident, he's already been cleared to play again....
The Future Of College Football Is ... The University Of The South?
Larry Majors saunters toward Hardee-McGee Field—the oldest on-campus football stadium in the South—from the brick house his family has owned for nearly 50 years, the one so close that a rusty tackling sled practically sits in the front yard. He passes a flagpole behind the east end zone that stands ...

Angelo Badalamenti Seems Like A Nice Guy
I guess I had always assumed Angelo Badalamenti was some awfully hip, overeducated Italian in an expensive turtleneck, some godson of Antonioni, who applied a sort of smug, cynical viewing of American soap operas when composing the theme music for "Twin Peaks." But nah! He's a cool old dude from B...
German Player's Perfect Strike From Center Circle Makes Great Own Goal
It takes a special kind of calmness to lob a ball from the edge of the center circle with enough accuracy to find the back of the net. Unfortunately, Christoph Kramer so calmly played this pass because he expected it to find his own keeper, not sail over his teammate's head and into the goal....

Michelle Beadle Takes A Salmon To The Face
Thanks to John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment on the salmon cannon, a device designed to help stupid fish get around dams so they can migrate and spawn, we have this wonderful GIF of Michelle Beadle getting a salmon to the head. Should've been you, Cowherd....
Let The Burning Of The Jay Cutler Jerseys Begin
Coming off their bye week, Jay Cutler and the 3-5 Bears had plenty of time to prepare for the Green Bay Packers last night, plenty of time to patch up whatever problems gave way to a 51-23 loss to New England in Week 7. Last night's game presented a rested Bears team with some hope at getting a big ...
