High School Teacher Goes Bananas After Sinking Three-Pointer At Halftime
David Cutler is a history and journalism teacher at Palmer Trinity school in Florida—he's not a basketball player. So his form on a 44-footer, taken at halftime of a game last week, left something to be desired. The result did not, nor did his reaction....
Jim Schwartz's Illegal Challenge Doubled The Texans' Chances Of Winning The Game
With the possible exception of the tuck rule, the rule that tripped up the Lions and Jim Schwartz has to be one of the dumbest in the game. You don't have to throw the challenge flag because we'll review it on our own, the rulebook says, but if you throw the challenge flag we won't review it....

In Prank War Before Big Game, High School Leaves Dead Cat On Rival's Doorstep
Tomorrow is the big Phillipsburg-Easton football game, an Thanksgiving tradition for the rival schools on either side of the N.J.-Pennsylvania border.

Rasheed Wallace Yells "Ball Don't Lie" Because Sheed Likes To Yell Things
The absolute best conceit in basketball is there is some sort of cosmic justice. If a player makes an undeserved trip to the line on a ticky-tack foul, the telltale ball will betray the shooter. This worked to perfection last night, as Rasheed Wallace—the chattiest player in the game—felt he was d...
D-III Player's 138 Point-Game Is A Sham Record And Shouldn't Be Celebrated By Anyone
Jack Taylor, of the Grinnell College Pioneers, scored 138 points in a game last night, against Faith Baptist Bible College. It's a mindblowing number, shattering the old NCAA mark of 113, and it's being trumpeted as one of sports' all-time individual achievements. It is not. It is bullshit. It is ju...

According to Eric, the URI student who took this video, the music began blaring at 2 in the morning, featuring favorites like "Ms. Jackson," "21 Questions,...
Division III Basketball Player Scores 138 Points In A Single Game
Jack Taylor is a 5-foot-10 guard at Grinnell College, and last night he scored 138 points in his team's game against Faith Baptist Bible. Division III ball is essentially a somewhat glorified high-school game, but still, 138 points! That's insane, and Taylor now has the NCAA single-game scoring rec...
Despite Taking Top-Ranked Indiana To Overtime, This Georgetown Fan Had To Lash Out With The Double Bird
Indiana dispatched Georgetown last night 82-72, but not without a bit of trouble. The Hoosiers were unable to put away the Hoyas in regulation, and needed the extra five minutes to keep their undefeated season going. Even in the best moments of Georgetown's night, though, it seems there was one fan...
