So this had no purpose but to get attention, and now it has: a remarkably racist column about biracial 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick written by AOLSportingNewsFanhouseBleacherMuckrackGrid writer David Whitley.

David Stern Doesn't Have A Problem With Shitty Basketball Games; He Has A Problem With Honesty
When Gregg Popovich decided to rest four of the Spurs' best players last night—a decision made well in advance of their game against the Heat, if Pop is to be believed—he took all the air out of a hotly anticipated, nationally televised contest. In the kindest light, it was a savvy move by Popovich ...

One-Handed Beer Football Returns, In PBR Bowl X
For a decade now they've been gathering at 2 p.m. on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. There's no planning, there's no invite—"Everybody just knows to come," says one of the event's founders. They're inexorably drawn by the twin siren songs of American: beer, and football....

The Time Drew Brees Threw Five Picks And No Touchdown Passes: Saints-Falcons, In Two GIFs
Falcons 23, Saints 13: I'll admit, I wasn't too high on the Falcons coming into tonight's contest, which seemed not like the typical "trap game"—the Saints are way too talented to catch anyone off guard in such a respect—but it just felt like perhaps the Falcons were ripe for a reality check, havin...

Arkansas State Football Fans Get Ready For The Sun Belt Conference Championship Game In This Terrible Hype Video
I don't know who any of these people are. I'm going to assume that at least some of them are affiliated with Arkansas State University. Then again, one guy appears to be a doctor, and another is wearing a shitty Blues Brother costume. So who the hell knows....

Why Did <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Colorize Baylor's Black Uniforms? [UPDATE: <em>SI</em> Responds, Sort Of]

Baylor's jerseys are, usually, green. But they wore black ...

To Buy Out Failed Coach, Southern Miss Sold Home-Field Advantage Back To Nebraska for $2.1 Million
What's the market price for an easy home win in college football?

NASCAR Driver Brad Keselowski Is Tragically Bad At Basketball
We are unabashed fans of Brad Keselowski, because he gave this awesome, boozy victory speech on SportsCenter after winning the Sprint Cup. Keselowski is a good driver and a great interview, but as you can see in the video above, he is a horrendous basketball player....

Rajon Rondo Didn't Take Too Kindly To Kris Humphries' Foul On Kevin Garnett [UPDATE]
Celtics guard Rajon Rondo wasn't just going to sit back after this Kris Humphries throwdown on Kevin Garnett, so (despite an eight-inch height differential) he sacrificed his 37-game streak of 10 or more assists to start an epic shoving match that looks to have been completely punchless. Humphries...
