No, That Eagles Employee Wasn't Celebrating Victor Cruz's Injury

Terrance Williams's Catch Was Great, But Tony Romo's Throw Was Better

The best and most important play on Sunday was Tony Romo's hookup with Terrance Williams on a third-and-20, keeping alive a fourth-quarter drive that would end in the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown against the Seahawks. There had been 55 third-and-at-least-20s to that point in the season, according to ...

Tony Romo Hobbled By Huge Bobby Wagner Hit

This is a clean hit, though it left Tony Romo in tiny little pieces, all scattered across the CenturyLink Field turf. Somehow they swept enough of them up and glued them together in time for the next Dallas drive, because Romo was back behind center moments later....

Texas Clobbering Oklahoma, Trailing By 4

Report: FSU And Tallahassee Cops Obstructed Jameis Winston Investigation

Fox Sports has published a story about the handling of the sexual assault allegations against Jameis Winston; we'll surely be unpacking it all weekend.

AHL Mascot's Backstory Totally Includes A Dead Firefighter [Update]

Via Puck Daddy, this is Scorch. He's the newly revealed mascot of the AHL's Adirondack Flames. He was probably purchased a local Halloween superstore. But his shoddy construction and uninspiring photoshoot locations are probably the least problematic thing about him....

The Associated Press is reporting that Catalan clubs like Barcelona, Espanyol could be barred from playing Spain's La Liga sooner rather than later. Sure, that's true, whatever. On the other hand, c'mon....

Richard Sherman Had His Hair Pulled, Responded With Vicious Shit-Talk

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has always walked a fine line between showman and dickbag. After infuriating Pierre Garçon to the point of hair-pulling, and dismissing his football worth entirely, I bet I could guess which side Garçon would come down on....

Iowa State A.D. Is Madder Than Hell About Big 12 Officiating

Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard gave a bizarre press conference today.

One particular play...

Choire Sicha is the only one here talking any sense: "For far too long now, sports stars haven't been able to properly benefit from the labors of their production (of dick pics). Now, thanks to Jeter, they can take the correct ownership of monetizing their intellectual property (dick pics)." [Digida...

The Royals Stole The Game In Right Field

The Royals continue to play to type. A team that's never going to slug, Kansas City has to win with speed, defense, and timely hitting, or it's not going to win at all. There was no repeat base-stealing extravaganza in last night's 3-2 Game 1 win over the Angels, but the timely hitting showed up...
