The Marlins Ate $8 Million Worth Of Salary To Get Rid Of "Bitter Pariah" Heath Bell

Here Is A Baby Doing A Keg Stand

Police are still trying to determine if this is actually a baby doing a keg stand or merely the appearance of a baby doing a keg stand. Either way, it's pretty obvious that this could only happen at an Arizona State University football tailgate....

The Cardinals Crushed The Eagles Because The Cardinals Might Actually Be Good, In Two GIFs

The Cardinals we're already up, so it's not like this is why they won, necessarily. They probably would have won anyway. But boy, this must have felt like shit for the Eagles: Down 17-0, they'd marched the ball all the way down to the Arizona one. On third and goal with six seconds left in the half...

An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions

Oregon obliterated an inexplicably ranked Arizona team 49-0 last night, relying on its rapid-fire offense and five Wildcats turnovers to blow out Rich Rodriguez's squad. (Note to pollsters: beating a team you mistakenly ranked in the preseason shouldn't impress you.)...

Beer of the Week: Double D Blonde

Once we get past the name of Double D Blonde, the wheaty, quick-drinking blonde ale out of Oregon's Hop Valley Brewing Company, you can appreciate it as a hoppy little number that won't offend you, won't overwhelm you.

A field judge in last week's Seattle Seahawks-Arizona Cardinals game—a game where Seattle was awarded an extra timeout—has worked Seattle practices over the past three years.

A Lucky Michael Floyd Was Pushed Into Making This Amazing Touchdown Catch

Did Michael Floyd actually think he had a chance of catching this ball, as he saw it coming his way? I mean, he threw his arm out there, but he never would have made the catch if he hadn't been pushed right into the path of the ball by the defender. So by being tackled, Michael Floyd actually mad...

Andrew McCutchen Learned To Play The Game The Right Way By Watching The D-Backs And Doing The Opposite

Vin Scully Trying To Describe The Twitter Sounds Exactly What You'd Expect It To Sound Like

I love Vin Scully, and he deserves all kinds of credit for doing his darnedest to keep up with the times at age 84.

Now Jerry Hairston Has The Ball, Now He Doesn't

You really have to watch all of the video below to figure out what the hell happened here. Chris Young led off the Diamondbacks' ninth by blooping a ball down the left field line.
