Golf Fans Teed Off At Tape-Delayed Rain Suspension Coverage Instead Of Live Play On Golf Channel
Today’s final round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines was delayed due to rain, but play resumed around 11:00 Pacific time. Despite this, Golf Channel is currently airing tape-delayed rain delay coverage. We can only assume the GC is borrowing from its NBCUniversal sibling’s Olympics bag ...
Keeping Up With The Antetokounmpos
Last night, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s older brother Thanasis made his debut for the New York Knicks. He scored on his only shot, as the Knicks blew out the Suns at home.

Weather Geek Mike Trout Joins Jim Cantore To Report On Blizzard
When Mike Trout isn’t mashing home runs or robbing them, he’s at home doing precise meteorological measurements; the self-described “weather geek” wants to be a stormchaser someday, and The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore had Trout on this morning to report on conditions in his hometown of Millville, ...
ESPN Dumbass Danny Kanell Calls For Broncos To Commit Late Hits On Tom Brady
We don’t deny that it would be hilarious to watch Von Miller cream an unsuspecting Tom Brady well after the whistle. But we certainly can’t endorse it, which is exactly what ESPN’s Danny Kanell did on his radio show today....
Austrian TV Gives NFL Conference Title Games The Star Wars Treatment
We’ve previously covered in this space our appreciation for Austria’s approach to NFL coverage. Österreich is just wild about American football, and official broadcaster PULS4 has produced this Star Wars-themed promo for Sunday’s games. It’s... interesting....
Peyton Manning Told Emmanuel Sanders To Be Ready For His Self-Sack
For a Broncos’ offense without much going in the air (Peyton Manning’s struggles didn’t magically go away, though the receivers’ drops may have hurt more than anything else), Denver’s longest play from scrimmage was a weird one. Early in the fourth quarter, Manning slid to the turf to avoid perceive...
Here's How Blair Walsh's Missed Game-Winner Sounded On Vikings, Seahawks Radio Calls
Blair Walsh’s heartbreaking shank that ended Minnesota’s season lifted spirits in the Pacific Northwest just as it crushed those in the Land of A Ten Thousand Lakes. Here’s how his missed 27-yarder sounded on KFAN in the Twin Cities (above) and on KIRO in Seattle (below)....
Nobody Did Anything Right On This Play
The Steelers extended their lead over Cincinnati with William Gay’s fumble recovery (until they didn’t, after replay revealed the officials missed a down by contact) and the Steelers’ celebration drew a flag (which the official whiffed on trying to throw) and Jim Nantz declared it a touchdown (for t...
The Bucks Are A Big Fuckin' Bummer

Peyton Manning Shares A Rep With Jim Nantz, Who Won't Mention That HGH Story
On Sunday, CBS’s Jim Nantz steadfastly refused to even bring up the Al Jazeera report alleging that HGH was delivered to Peyton Manning’s home. On Monday, Nantz explained why: “If we talk about it we would only continue to breathe life into a story that on all levels is a non-story.” Today we learn ...
Jim Nantz Is A Sanctimonious Wiener
You expect Peyton Manning to get his typical slurpjob from smarmy greeting card Jim Nantz. But it was still baffling that during yesterday’s Broncos game, in which Manning played a starring role, not a single one of CBS’s crew even came close to mentioning the report linking Peyton Manning to shipme...
The Broncos Are Peyton Manning's Again
Active Sunday for the first time since Nov. 15, and serving as a backup for the first time in his career since 1994—when he was behind Todd Helton on Tennessee’s depth chart—Peyton Manning spent the first half watching the Broncos turn the ball over and seemingly squander a chance to be the AFC’s No...

We love Álvaro Martín and Raúl Allegre’s Monday Night Football announcing on ESPN Deportes, and the value of watching football en Español was no more apparent than on the failed Denver Broncos field goal attempt at the end of regulation tonight. ¡NOOOOOOOO!...
The PEDs Debate Is Over
By the time Al-Jazeera America’s The Dark Side: Secrets of the Sports Dopers finally aired last night, it felt like an afterthought. That’s partly because The Huffington Post’s Saturday report on the documentary’s claims—most notably, that Peyton Manning has been an illicit consumer of human growth ...
