ESPN Blames Cardale Jones's Inexperience For Loss That Hasn't Happened
ESPN obviously has a number of graphics and stories ready so that no matter how tonight's national title game proceeds, they'll be ready with the instant analysis. If Ohio State loses and substitute QB Cardale Jones plays poorly—which doesn't look likely, given how well Jones is doing—ESPN will focu...

Cristiano Ronaldo, A Decent Soccer Player, Wins FIFA Player Of The Year
Today, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or. It's the second year in a row he's been named FIFA's best player, and the third time in his career. The Portuguese winger beat out Argentina's Lionel Messi, German keeper Manuel Neuer, and a bunch of other guys who had no ...
Why Ohio State Is A Sneaky-Bad Match-up For Oregon
Oregon looks like a clear favorite over Ohio State in the college football championship game. The markets opened with Oregon as a 7 point favorite, which implies a 70 percent win probability. The predicted margin of victory is even higher with my team rankings based on margin of victory at The Powe...

My God, My God, The Hawks Are A Fucking Juggernaut
The Atlanta Hawks led the Washington Wizards 87-77 after the third quarter yesterday, which isn't nothing as leads go, but, in its broad outline the game still had the feel of one whose outcome could go either way. The Hawks looked sharper, sure, but the Wizards had won the second quarter and got...
The Cavaliers Need LeBron Back In A Goddamn Hurry
The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their fifth straight game after getting thwacked by the Sacramento Kings last night. It was their ninth loss in the last 11 games, and the team is now 1-8 in games in which they do not have the services of LeBron James. The Cavs weren't that great even before LeBron J...
The NFL's Rules Are Dumb
The thing we have to establish to be able to talk about this with the same frame of reference is that Dez Bryant didn't catch that football. Oh sure, maybe he had the ball firmly in his grasp, maybe he was confident enough in his possession to turn and lunge for the end zone, wheeling his feet under...

A Priceless Photo Of Chris Christie Thinking Dez Bryant Made That Catch
Though FOX didn't give us the Chris Christie reaction shots we desired for the Cowboys-Packers game, stringer Andy Manis snapped a photo for NJ.com of Jerry Jones's suite at Lambeau Field, reportedly as Dez Bryant made his fourth-down catch (that was overturned after review). Christie, in the upper-...
Dez Bryant's Overturned Catch Ruined Our Fun
Cowboys-Packers provided what we want in playoff football. We got to watch two talented (though injured) quarterbacks mess around in a high-energy atmosphere. Then, a review had to screw up our perfect experience....
