Here's How The Miracle Blocked Field Goal Return Sounded On Georgia Tech Radio [UPDATE: Now With FSU Radio]
Georgia Tech shocked unbeaten Florida State tonight when Lance Austin returned a blocked field goal for a game-winning touchdown on the final play of the game. Here’s how Yellow Jackets announcers Brandon Gaudin and Sean Bedford called the play on GT radio flagship WCNN....
The Broncos Defense Is So Good, Even Zombie Peyton Manning Can Win With It
It took the Denver Broncos offense 27 consecutive drives to score a touchdown. That’s the longest streak in the NFL this season, a record far more suited to the diarrheal Detroit Lions or an offensively inept team like the Texans. Certainly not a 6-0 team with the NFL’s all-time leading touchdown pa...
MSU's Miracle Win Over Michigan, As Called By Each Team's Home Radio Announcers [UPDATE]
Michigan simply had to execute a punt—any punt—to beat Michigan State. They couldn’t, and the immediate and inexplicable reversal of fortune left Michigan State’s radio announcers on WJR (above) in ecstasy; it left the Wolverines’ announcers on WTKA (below) despondent....
Is This Jürgen Klinsmann-Fabian Johnson Thing Really A Thing?
For the first time in his largely stress-free tenure as USMNT manager, Jürgen Klinsmann is facing real scrutiny about his job performance. And while it hasn’t been exactly fashionable to take aim at him until now, the press and fan responses to his current dilemma are inextricably linked to their pr...
Klay Thompson's Girlfriend Seems To Have Called Him Out For Cheating
Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson has been dating internet-famous model Hannah Stocking. But that relationship might be over now, based on a few now-deleted tweets that Stocking sent....
Mexico Beat The USMNT Because They're A Better Team
As we sift through the rubble of last night’s 3-2 Mexico victory over the USMNT, Jürgen Klinsmann finds himself squarely in the spotlight. The high stakes one-off is a disappointing setback for the program, and an occasion to soberly evaluate the course that Klinsmann has charted for it. The U.S. wi...
ESPNers Bomani Jones And Danny Kanell Got Into A Twitter Fight
ESPN does not like when its personalities publicly call each other out. That is exactly what Bomani Jones did today to College Football analyst Danny Kanell. These burns seem more severe than the usual stuff that gets ESPNers in trouble, like when Keith Law got suspended for defending evolution. Her...
Danny Boyle Movies, Ranked
Danny Boyle is one of the most quietly adventurous filmmakers working today. He’ll do a science-fiction movie, then a period piece, then a Tarantino-type thriller, then a romantic comedy, then a conventional biopic, and he won’t so much as blink once. He is an auteur of the old-fashioned sort: His m...
American Ninja Warrior Is A Lot Better With Dinosaur Costumes
Even if you have no idea what American Ninja Warrior is, I promise that you will enjoy this clip of someone running through a training course in a T-Rex costume. ...
<i>Steve Jobs</i> May Be About The Apple Guru, But Aaron Sorkin Is The Real Star
The trick to enjoying an Aaron Sorkin project is to never take it as seriously as he does. The creator of The West Wing and The Newsroom and the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Social Network doesn’t write dialogue—he stages showy talk-fests that are meant to either show off how smart his characte...
The Atlanta Hawks Ownership Group Was Always Destined To Blow Up
Brian Windhorst and Kevin Arnovitz dropped a big behind-the-scenes piece on the racism mess that led to the Atlanta Hawks being sold to Antony Ressler for $850 million. There are a number of funny anecdotes and interesting stories in the report, but the basic takeaway is that the Atlanta Hawks owner...
Landon Donovan Says USMNT Shouldn't Take Klinsmann To The Next World Cup
The last time the public got to stick the thermometer into the Landon Donovan-Jürgen Klinsmann beef, we learned that the meat was still cooking. In a new interview, Donovan’s thoughts about Klinsmann’s shaky recent record and what that should mean for the manager’s job security show that yep, this b...
Report: Ryan Tannehill Did Not React Well To Getting Beaten By The Scout Team
Whenever an NFL coach gets fired, it’s always fun to sit around and wait for the follow-up stories that shed some light on just how bad things were before the firing. The Dolphins fired head coach Joe Philbin this morning, and the National Football Post’s Aaron Wilson has provided us with such a rep...
A U.S. Appeals Court Just Did The NCAA A Big Favor
The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court’s decision in Ed O’Bannon v. NCAA, which ruled that the NCAA’s larger amateurism rules are in violation of anti-trust laws. The appeals court also, though, vacated a key portion of the lower court’s ruling, and that makes it hard to coun...
Don't Mess Up Your Anniversary
The tough thing about writing a definitive guide to anniversaries is that every couple should, quite rightly, handle them differently....
Can The Broncos Figure Out How To Use Peyton Manning?
No battle plan survives contact with the enemy. On paper, it made all the sense in the world for Gary Kubiak to reimagine the Broncos offense, emphasizing the run more, and lining up his quarterback in different positions to keep opponents off-balance. In practice, Peyton Manning doesn’t like taking...
Peyton Manning Is A Rickety Old Man
You knew that already, just from watching his throws float and flutter and seeing it take him nearly the whole of the play clock to pick himself up off the turf. But here’s the lede on ESPN The Magazine’s Peyton Manning feature. Try to read it without wincing:...
Canned Champagne Is Bad, And Also Perfect
I recently learned that you can buy champagne in cans thanks to the genius of Francis Ford Coppola vineyards. If you winced at that sentence, canned champagne is definitely not for you. For the rest of us, it’s delightful sparkling wine....
