Watch Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery Get Ejected After Bumping An Official
Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery chose a bad time to get ejected from the Hawkeyes' bout against fourth-ranked Wisconsin in Madison: as they held onto a two-point lead over the undefeated Badgers halfway through the second half. That lead disappeared thanks to the four free throws McCaffery afforded h...
How To Break A Cricket Bat
Have you ever seen a cricket bat break before? Michael Carberry went to hit at the Ashes, and the ball snapped his blade in two. Everyone acts like it's a rare occurrence, so let's call it that....
Dan Snyder's Dickhead Behavior Is A Complex Thing
Skins owner Dan Snyder can be a big fucking prick, as we've documented thoroughly. Rick Maese's new article delving into Snyder's ownership does contain extraordinary anecdotes of Snyder being an asshole, but other stories—in an earnest attempt to provide balance—suggest that while Snyder does care ...
How Far Do You Have To Run For It To Count As "A Run"?
I recently read something about running the 100m dash, or some record being set, or maybe I was just looking at that Usain Bolt GIF with the dude smiling his face off because he got a fist bump—the specifics don't really matter; somehow I started thinking about sprinting, is all you need to know—and...
Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Col...
Bat Roams Around Senators-Canadiens Game
A bat made an appearance at the Bell Centre at the beginning of Saturday night's Senators-Canadiens game. It was just flapping around, without a care in the world, probably disoriented. You know how bats are....

Chiefs-Colts Was The Classic Playoff Game We Get Every Year
It happens nearly every year and we're always surprised, but Chiefs-Colts was another insane NFL playoff game. After a close first quarter, the Chiefs jumped all over the Colts in the second quarter with 21 points and headed into the half—on an Andrew Luck interception—with a 31-10 lead. The Colts c...
Penn State's D.J. Newbill Ejected For Shoving Kendrick Nunn In Neck
Plays like this always make me think about the existence of a textbook for broadcasters. "It's always the second guy who gets caught" would be in Chapter 1, along with a section on Aikmanisms like "...and I'm not so sure they didn't do just that, Joe." Anyway, D.J. Newbill was the second guy here—...
Anthony Sherman Touchdown Celebrations Are A Work In Progress
It's only, like, the second time he's ever done this though, so he's got time to work on it....
Jamaal Charles Left The Game After This Play
Jamaal Charles left the game during the Chiefs first drive of the game (a touchdown-scoring drive, regardless) after this hit/tackle. It looks like his helmet hits the ground and he clearly was slow getting up. According to the Bob Glauber he is being evaluated for a concussion and his return is lis...
Ok. St.'s Final Possession Was Alternatingly Electric And Maddening
For three quarters, the Cotton Bowl was a defensive game. In the fourth quarter, both offensives exploded and began trading touchdowns. The fire inside Gus Johnson that had been contained all night, was slowly rising for what we surely all knew was going to happen. Missouri took a 34-31 lead with t...

Reports: Charlie Strong To Texas Will Happen Eventually
If we've gotten this far in the Strong-to-Texas story—he reportedly called a staff meeting at 9:00 a.m. this morning—it seems pretty certain that Charlie Strong is going to leave Louisville for Texas. But who knows, everyone always gets so careful with these things....
Bama Mom Flashes Double-Bird Before Dive-Bombing Oklahoma Bro
