This Comebacker That Francisco Liriano Caught Between His Legs Could've Turned Out Badly
There were any number of bad, horrible things that this Eric Hosmer comebacker could've caused to Francisco Liriano's lower half—never mind the shard of bat that came flying in his general direction—but no harm, no foul. Hosmer got his revenge later with a walkoff single in the ninth, but Liriano wa...
Giants 36, Panthers 7: The Game In Three GIFs
This was a slow and deceptive win for the Giants, who run their record to 2-1. The defense played solid in the first half and allowed the Giants' offensive live to methodically dominate time of possession against the high-powered offense of Carolina. Even without starters Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Brad...
David Pollack Almost Called The First Half Offenses In Tonight's BYU-Boise State Game A "Clusterfuck"
ESPN's premier Thursday night matchup in Boise featuring the Broncos hosting BYU hasn't exactly been watchable. In fact, it headed to the half tied scoreless, as inept offenses on both sides of the ball struggled to do much of anything. ESPN booth analyst David Pollack called it like he saw it, th...

Matt Lindsay had been the head football coach at Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., for 33 years. His teams won nine state championships.

This 8-Year-Old Football Player Can't Be Tackled
All we know about the little No. 34 in this video is that his name is Jayden Scott and he's eight years old, or one year for pretty much every defender who fails to bring him down....
Ballhawk Zack Hample Was Kicked Out Of Nationals Park Last Night, And He Is Pissed About It
We've met Zack Hample before, and we haven't exactly been kind to him. That's because Hample is a ballhawk—a member of that fraternity of obsessive dudes who hang around ballparks and trample babies whenever Omar Infante flips a baseball into the stands. Nevertheless, Zack reached out to us this mo...
The Replacement Refs Are Now Affecting Vegas Betting Lines
A ridiculous proportion of the NFL's popularity can be tied directly to gambling. So what if, when considering how replacement refs are making games skewed and unpredictable, it was Vegas and not the viewers that finally forces the league's hand in negotiating with the locked-out officials? We consi...
Before Last Night's Game, A Rays Infielder Played Catch In The Parking Lot With Some Tampa Fans
A reader named Chris and his friends got to last night's Red Sox-Rays game several hours before the first pitch. Who knew people actually tailgated at Rays games?

Five Years After The Dallas Cowboys Fumbled It Away, Cowboys.com Is Now A Male Dating Site
It's easy to think that by 2007, most professional sports teams had figured out this whole Internet thing. Yeah, funny thing about that, since one of the great examples of dot-com incompetence occurred back then, as Jerry Jones and his Dallas Cowboys organization could've snagged Cowboys.com and bee...
Buffalo Brought The MACtion As They Ended The First Half Against Kent Tonight With A 46-Yard Hail Mary TD
Wednesday nights belong to the MAC, as any college football degenerate knows, and while the scoring of tonight's Kent-Buffalo matchup hasn't yet reached levels of, say, last year's NIU-Toledo game, the MACtion is alive and well. Just ask Alex Neutz, the Bulls receiver who hauled in this 46-yard ha...
Arkansas Football Coach John L. Smith Has Only $500 In His Checking Account
John L. Smith might be imploring others to smile these days, but a quick glance at the Arkansas football coach's finances reveals nothing so humorous. Smith recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and documents filed today in federal court show that he has only some $1.2 million in assets, compare...

Jay Cutler's Baby Still Learning How To Sulk
I was browsing People's celebrity baby blog, and came upon this: the first photo of young Camden Jack Cutler. Camden's got quite the lifetime ahead, considering his parents are a vapid dullard who somehow keeps finding a way to get on television yet remains forever eluded by success, and Kristin Cav...
