Teens' Dispute Over Mickey Mantle Card Leads To Fork Stabbing
A 17-year-old boy from central Pennsylvania faces "assault and harassment charges after jamming the fork into a fellow teen's arm while they fought over a Mickey Mantle baseball card." Hardcore, kids. What's wrong with a simple noogie? [AP]...

When Something Falls On The Ground In New Orleans, Don't Put It In Your Mouth
Reader Craig sends in this video of Justin Tuck dropping his mouthguard during last night's game, then popping it right back in his mouth. Tuck is clearly unfamiliar with the bylaw to the Five-Second Rule that states that if the item in question is moist or sticky, let it go man, because it's gone...
One Jet Thinks Stevie Johnson's "Airplane" TD Celebration Was A 9/11 Reference
You thought Bob Costas was stupid? You clearly didn't know how stupid human beings could get when discussing end zone celebrations. That apotheosis belongs to Jets tackle Sione Pouha, who's convinced that Stevie Johnson was out to mock the death of thousands....

Make $50 By Licking A Urinal Wall. Ask This Guy At Husky Stadium How!
Writes tipster Tim W., "I went to the second to last game to be played at Husky Stadium before it gets torn down and replaced. We were playing Colorado.

It was foretold. By Chad McGhee. On this site. Knox City was predestined to face Throckmorton. With these words: "I truly believe that. I'm just getting that signal that we will meet again and we will be able to beat them." And that's exactly what Knox City will do on Black Friday. Well, the meeti...

Because Any Time You Beat The 63rd Best Team In College Basketball, You Have To Rush The Court
George Mason had a miracle tourney run six seasons ago, didn't receive a single vote in this week's AP Top 25, and are ranked 63rd in KenPom's ratings. Florida Atlantic students apparently didn't get the memo, and stormed the court after their overtime win over the Patriots this weekend. Because y...
The Eagles' Nine-Minute Game-Winning Drive in 90 Seconds
To the surprise of just about everyone last night, Vince Young—whose play up until this point in the game could generously be described as erratic—led an 18-play, 80-yard death march of a touchdown drive that would eventually decide the game. Here's the drive, condensed into a much more palatable ...
DeSean Jackson Appears to Return Another Punt Against The Giants, Refs Disagree, Eagles Score Anyway
It was a close call to be sure, so it was strange that the play was not reviewed. Not to worry, though. Noted winner Vince Young hooked up with noted former Giant Steve Smith and the Eagles got their touchdown. The two teams bored us to tears for 28 minutes, but brought the heat at the end of the...

Dos Santos Wins, Mainstream Fails To Care
I'd planned to write something about the Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos fight today. But the fight lasted all of 64 seconds. Gotta feel for anyone who sat through eons of buildup only to make for the suds and miss the action. The UFC's debut on Fox was a flop. A disappointment on a grand sca...

Don Johnson, The Champagne King And The Beast Of Blackjack, Has Once Again Punished An Atlantic City Casino
After a few months of suspiciously restrained behavior, blackjack savant Don Johnson has returned. He was spotted in October in Atlantic City stuffing fistfuls of casino chips into his gullet. Just grinding them up between his world-class molars. No, I made that up. He was actually cashing in fistfu...
Santonio Holmes Gets Vocal About A Pass Interference No-Call
As far as incidental broadcasts of sports profanity go, this is pretty tame (the only less-offensive being your Bobby Knight "chickenshit") but Santonio Holmes' complaint about the no-call on this pass in the second half of the Patriots-Jets SNF matchup is still amusing—especially the belated atte...
