Justise Winslow Hurdles Stanford Player's Head To Block His Shot
In case you hadn't heard, Duke freshman Justise Winslow is pretty athletic. So athletic, in fact, that he can high-jump over opponents to block their shots, as happened tonight against Stanford in the Coaches vs. Cancer championship game. Sure, it was all for naught as the player had already been fo...

Florida State Keeps Ruining Florida State Losses
I'm starting to think Florida State is just trolling all of us and will get into the playoffs and destroy everybody, 63-0. They have to be doing this on purpose....

Bethune-Cookman Wins Florida Classic With Gutsy Two-Point Conversion
Bethune-Cookman has been playing Florida A & M for nearly a century, and has come out on the wrong end of the scoreline far more often than they've won what's now known as the Florida Classic. (The worst? A 97-0 beatdown in 1960.) Things weren't looking too hot for them today, either, as the Rattler...

Jameis Winston Somehow Got Away With Shoving An Official
I guess he said "sorry"?...

Yeah, That's Targeting
Matthew Thomas will miss the first half of next week's game against Florida thanks to this....

Melvin Gordon's Rushing Record Is Now Samaje Perine's Rushing Record
Poor Melvin Gordon ran through a stout defense last week for 408 yards, an all-time FBS record. The single-game FBS rushing champ got to wear that crown for a week....

"Hey, Coach? Say It, Don't Spray It."
Good ol' cursin' Bo Pelini left a wad of saliva on this guy's face. He didn't seem too happy about it....

Craig Sager Briefly Returns To TV For Coaches vs. Cancer Classic
The last time Craig Sager and his suits that Kevin Garnett think should be burned was on our televisions was April, prior to his treatment for leukemia. He left the hospital in May, and last night he made a return to TV for college basketball's Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, speaking a short message ab...

How To Make Potatoes Au Gratin, A Step Beyond Good Ol' Mashed Taters
Hey, look, mashed potatoes are wonderful. They're smooth and hearty and comforting; they land in your stomach with a satisfying, almost audible whump; they are the food equivalent of dropping your entire body onto a soft, overstuffed sofa. Kids love them, grownups love them, everybody loves them. ...

Lil B Confirms Kevin Durant's Injury Caused By The Based God's Curse
Lil B was at MIT last night, giving what The FADER called "a groundbreaking lecture" at the school's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The lecture sounds like it was quite the event, "presenting nuanced observations on workplace efficiency, human empathy, and GMOs," as well as...

Curt Schilling's Son Accidentally Brings Fake Grenade To Logan Airport
The Schilling family took a plane flight this morning, and one of Curt Schilling's sons made the security screening more eventful than usual. From his Facebook:...

Dion Waiters Goes For Dunk, Gets Destroyed, Is Terrible
Millennial Dion Waiters stinks and is bad; tonight against the Wizards, he tried to dunk on Kevin Seraphin and got stoned—with both hands!—directly to hell. My favorite part is Jon Barry and Mike Breen both initially assuming it must have been a foul, before watching the replay and realizing, yep, ...

Hey, Look At Alex Ovechkin's Killer Mustache
The music makes it oddly soothing. I could watch a few minutes of Alex Ovechkin and his mustache....

Duke Assistant Attempts To Pump Up Team By Losing His Damn Mind

Jonas Gray Gets Belichicked
Even though Jonas Gray had the best game of his short career last Sunday, Bill Belichick didn't let it slide when the running back was late to practice today. Gray says he was late because his phone died, so his alarm didn't go off, but Belichick's hardass rules bend for no one. The team held Gray o...

Zinedine Zidane No Longer Has To Pretend Not To Coach Team He Coaches
A couple months ago, we told you about how Zinedine Zidane, manager of Real Madrid Castilla, was under investigation for not having the proper coaching qualifications. The Frenchman had two ways to fight the impending punishment: either cadge up the qualifications or deny that he was actually the ma...

Xabi Alonso Forced To Apologize To Ronaldo For Stupid, Fake Controversy
Remember that dumb story Real Madrid pitched to their stooges at Marca yesterday, where some milquetoast statements of Xabi Alonso's were folded, kneaded, and ultimately transformed into direct insults to former teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas? Well, it worked....

Shaq Attempts The Cookie Face Challenge
You may know it as the cookie face challenge, the face the cookie challenge, the oreo challenge, or some other name. Whatever you call it, Shaq attempted it on the set of Inside the NBA tonight. It's pretty entertaining watching Shaq weirdly scrunch his face, but here are five food-related chall...

Oscar Taveras' Family Posts Photos Of Fan Tributes To Him On Twitter
One of the weird things about the 21st century is what happens to people's social media presence when they die. Facebook pages turn into these sort of weird/morbid/beautiful virtual shrines, places where even years later people go to post and publicly process their loss. Twitter accounts just sort o...

The Amazing True Story Of My Exploding Balls
The hardest part was shaving my balls. Before you go in for your vasectomy, the literature says, you should hop in the shower and shave all the hair off the surgical area. I called the office the day before surgery to confirm that I had to do this....
