Unconscious Nuggets Mascot Lowered To Court In Macabre Display
Rocky, the Denver Nuggets' mascot, was unconscious as he was lowered to the floor before Friday night's Blazers-Nuggets game. Because the harness was hidden, it looked like Rocky had been hanged and presented on the court as an omen for something. It was unsettling....
Loic Remy's Late Goal Seals Newcastle Upset Over Chelsea
It seems like we've been here before, with a member of the Premier League's royalty losing unexpectedly to a team with nowhere near comparable talent.

Stoke City Keeper Scores Goal Within First 15 Seconds
It took keeper Asmir Begović merely 15 seconds to score his first career goal when the cleared ball bounced over Southampton's Artur Boruc and in for an incredibly early 1-0 Stoke City lead. Begović's goal was the fifth ever by a keeper in EPL; the last instance was Tim Howard in 2012....
GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period.

Geezer Minstrelsy. <em>Last Vegas</em>, Reviewed.
Hollywood movies get a lot of things wrong: Midwesterners, marriage, transforming robots. But Last Vegas reminds us that they're also terrible at depicting old age. It's not that studios don't make movies starring older actors—Escape Plan just came out—but when they do, they often paint a picture of...

A Decapitated Ref, And What It Doesn't Say About Brazilian Soccer
Just this week, the severed head of a former Brazilian professional soccer player was delivered to his wife's doorstep. This comes on a heels of a horror story over the summer—a soccer game devolved into a double murder, a referee's head hacked off with a sickle. The New York Times has gone deep on ...
How The Chiefs Stopped Sucking In One Offseason
Before Week 1, if you'd said that the Kansas City Chiefs would be undefeated halfway through the season, you'd have been chased up and down Blue Parkway by men with butterfly nets.

Why I Quit The Major Leagues
During my first year in the major leagues, I was twice sent back down to the minors. This is common for rookies, especially if their competition for a roster spot is doing well—and I was playing behind Darwin Barney, who was chasing the record for the most consecutive games at second base without an...
The New Orleans Pelicans' Mascot Is Here To Terrify Your Children
This is Pierre the Pelican, the mascot that the New Orleans Pelicans have chosen to represent the team's totally badass namesake. Pierre the Pelican is not badass and does not really look like a Pelican. He is terrifying and awful....
Pascal Dupuis Pulls Out His Own Tooth

If there's one thing about this World Series to be thankful for, it's the the fact that Red Sox closer Koji Uehara and his son Kaz have been thrown into the national spotlight....
Allen Iverson Finally Obeys Laws Of Nature, Officially Retires
Allen Iverson made his retirement official today, even though it's hard to know how, exactly, to define such a thing for him. Iverson, now 38, was never a professional basketball player so much as he was, foremost, an object in motion, tending always to stay in motion. If Iverson can be said to reti...
When His Lady Friend's Braces Quashed Oral, Dr. J Impregnated Her
The scamps over at the New York Post's Page Six got ahold of a copy of Julius Erving's autobiography today, and immediately dredged up an unsavory bit of tid. Seems that Dr. J conceived one of his kids, the tennis pro Alexandra Stevenson, because her mother, Samantha Stevenson, took on a set of bear...
<em>Dallas Buyers Club</em> Is Gay History For Straight People
In his blistering, deeply moving Grantland essay about 12 Years A Slave, Wesley Morris lays waste to decades of white-guilt piety in films about racism and slavery—A Time To Kill, Cry Freedom, Glory—in a single sentence: "They've been appeals to white audiences by white characters talking to other w...
