Rob Ryan Has Some Words For You, And Those Words Appear To Be "Go For It, Fuckface"
When the Cowboys put up a strong goal-line stand in the second quarter of tonight's NFL season-opener against the Giants, Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan had some excitedly profane things to say. He also, it appears, had some taunting to do toward the Giants' sideline. (That or he's urging ...
Dez Bryant Thought He Could Fool The Scab Refs Into Ruling This Catch A Touchdown
I've watched this play in HD maybe six or seven times, and it's clear that Dez Bryant is down on the turf in at least three different places (both knees and his right elbow) and perhaps also his left elbow, although it was inconclusive from the replay. Nonetheless, if you thought NFL players were ...

Yep, That's A Big Old "Fuck Y'All I'm From Texas" T-Shirt On The NFL Network
Just less than three hours until the Cowboys and Giants kick off the NFL season, which means the NFL Network's only got three more hours to give us Mike Mayock and LaDainian Tomlinson yammering away, live from a North Jersey parking lot. But take note of that dude in the background, the one who happ...
Brandon McCarthy Took A Line Drive Right Above The Ear
It has not been the smoothest of 2012s for Brandon McCarthy, the talented Oakland starter. After a number of injury-plagued seasons, McCarthy began the year as the Athletics' opening day starter, only to hit the DL with a shoulder strain in May. A June return proved too soon, and he went on the DL a...
Bobby Valentine Goes Apeshit On A Boston Sports Radio Host
Bobby Valentine's tenure as Red Sox manager is, in all likelihood, coming to an end, which is sad, because whatever faults you can find with the favorite son of Stamford, Conn., at least he's genuine.

Happy NFL Opening Day! The CDC Says Football Players Are Three Times More Likely To Die From Degenerative Brain Disease.
Let no one say the Centers for Disease Control's PR department doesn't have a wicked sense of timing.

Why Texas State Got A 16th-Place Vote In The AP Poll
For the time being, the Texas State Bobcats are the only team to be undefeated in their FBS history. Sure, they're just 1-0 all-time, joining the WAC this season after 23 years in the I-AA/FCS Southland conference. But that one was a stylish one. It was a 30-13 walloping of Houston, in Houston, that...
Dusty Baker Addresses Uniform Malfunction With An Assist From His Pitching Coach
There are reasons you, as a manager, want a reliable staff of coaches on the bench: To manage the pitchers, keep an eye on the team when times get tough, and to let you know (with an ever-so-casual hand over the mouth) that your fly has been open for who-knows-how-long. We see what you did there, ...
Braves TV Reporter Gets Busted Taking A Bite Of His Tasty Burger, Doesn't Skip A Beat
On-air talent foibles often reside in the realm of unfortunately pronounced everyday words, but there are other times when they get caught stuffing their face with some ginormous, burger-y goodness while the cameras are rolling. But good for Tom Hart, rolling with it and even using the moment to tea...

Allentown (Pa.) Dieruff High School lost by 27 to Pocono Mountain East in its season opener a few nights back. It was the Huskies' 31st consecutive loss, a skid that dates back to the 2008 season finale. Some might look at this play from Friday night and say Dieruff's quarterback badly overthrew h...

Mets treasure Keith Hernandez tells The New York Times's Richard Sandomir that he might just shave his mustache before the final game of the 2012 season.

Red Sox Farmhand Flips Over Wall To Wall To Make Grand Slam-Denying Catch

The Pirates Are Still Putting Fans To Sleep
Fans at PNC Park began the season by falling asleep, but then the Pirates provided enough of a jolt to keep folks interested into September.
