Lexington, Kentucky. Home to basketball, bluegrass, bourbon, and—strangely—the best Cuban sandwich I've ever eaten. It's also home to horses, some of which are people's modes of transportation.

The NHL Lockout's First Casualty: Florida Has Laid Off Mascot Stanley C. Panther

Everton Fans Would Be Happy To Take Some NFL Replacement Referees Off Our Hands
While two different goal-line technologies are approved for use by the world's top soccer organizations, neither are implemented in the English Premier League yet—the limeys electing to stick with the power of the human eye for the time being. That's unfortunate, because EPL assistant referees are ...

Chargers 38, Titans 10: The Game In A Solitary GIF
Yeah. Not a whole lot went right for the Titans. Uh, no fumbles! That's pretty cool, right? Whatever. Chris Johnson had eight carries for 17 yards and everything is pretty sad on the Tennessee side so let's just not talk about the actual game. Here's something else to talk about: The replacement re...

Your College Football Open Thread
Early afternoon: Florida State might (but probably doesn't) have a game on its hands in Tallahassee with Wake Forest coming in. That's practically it until things get kind of hectic in the later afternoon, with Alabama probably crushing Arkansas and taking us into a very good slate of night games. M...
