How Not To Run A Fake Field Goal
The New Mexico Bowl, one of the more mediocre matchups out of approximately one million mediocre bowl matchups this year, is on and popping.

The Strange Case Of John Scott And The NHL All-Star Game
John Scott is an NHL player (well, sort of) whose most marketable skill is that he’s 6’8” and willing swing on anyone.

So How Did Zack Greinke End Up On The Diamondbacks?
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a remarkable experiment in what happens when you take the financial brakes off a team and see how far you can fly with pure spending.

Diamondbacks Unveil So Goddamn Many New Uniforms

NFL Demotes Officiating Crew After Screwups In Cardinals-Niners Game

Carson Palmer Runs For A Touchdown, Eats It
Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer ran for the game-winning score in Sunday’s game against the 49ers, which was his first rushing touchdown since 2012, so the old man tried one of those celebrations that all the cool players do. He put too much behind his spike, and fell over....

It’s a bit of a shame that a fun, close game between two of the league’s best teams came down to a crucial and obscure penalty, but there’s nothing to be done: it was almost certainly the correct call, and despite the Bengals’ protestations that it was “ridiculous,” they got caught....

Drew Stanton Danced And Carson Palmer Told The Crowd To Suck It
