Hey Look, It's The Sad Cocktail Grenades You Always Wanted
Evidently these have been around for a while, but they're new to me. BuzzBallz: Regret In a Can. BuzzBallz: Liquid Cold-Sore.

High School PAT Banks In Off Opponent's Helmet
Via FTW, this freakish occurrence took place last week in South Dakota, and that defender was standing in the absolute perfect place for the assist, like it was the plan all along. Why was he there? Were they afraid Dell Rapids was going to go for two to extend its lead to 39-0?...

Michigan Pretends It Isn't Desperate To Give Away Tickets
I won't make fun of Michigan football for practically giving away tickets to keep its 100,000-plus attendance streak alive. The team's crummy, Saturday's opponent is Minnesota, and even a storied program has to hustle sometimes. But I will make fun of Michigan football for being so sensitive that it...
Mighty Mite Football Players Thwarted By Banner
The parents of players of the Wallkill (NY) Mighty Mites tried to do something nice for the first home game of the season, but alas, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

College Hoops Game In Philippines Called Off After Huge Brawl
Head to the five-second mark of the video, unless you don't want to see a player brutally knocked out with one punch in a move reminiscent of Kermit Washington on Rudy Tomjanovich. (And if you don't, definitely don't watch the replay of the punch at 0:28.)...

Apollos Hester plays for the East View (Texas) Patriots, and after a 42-41 victory over Vandegrift Friday night, he was pumped as hell for his postgame interview with TWC News Austin. The conversation got deep pretty quickly. You'll feel like you can do anything after listening to Hester....
ESPN Showed Jameis Winston Onscreen 48 Times During FSU-Clemson
Viewers of last night's Clemson-Florida State overtime thriller couldn't help but notice how often ESPN's broadcast on ABC showed suspended FSU quarterback Jameis Winston.

Counterprogramming Football: What To Watch Today Instead Of The NFL
Lost, perhaps, in all the discussion of the NFL's handling of domestic-violence cases is the question of just why in the hell the NFL is punishing its labor force under something called a "personal conduct policy" in the first place. Just what the hell's going on there?...
