"I'll Shove That Lax Stick Up Your Ass": A University Of Akron Football Player Flips Out On Fellow Students
The University of Akron Zips are not doing so hot in football this season. They're 0-7 in the conference and 1-10 overall.

Handball Player Freaks Out, Pulls His Pants Down After Opponent Kisses Him On The Cheek
We won't even pretend to know much about handball, but does this happen often? Ivan Stuffer was getting ready for some kind of handball play (we know that much!) when his opponent got very close to him. Close enough to smooch him on the cheek. As you can see above, Stuffer does not react well to k...
UNC Academic Scandal Continues, Reportedly Tolerated Cheating
While the actual "student-athlete" may have died a long time ago, the conceit somehow lives on. As college athletics has grown in popularity and profitability, the NCAA quietly killed the student-athlete and replaced him with an evil twin brother. It used to be a ringer was a guy who had no connecti...
Someone Is Shopping A Video Of Rasheed Wallace (Maybe) Fighting Some Dude In A White Plains Parking Lot
And we know this because we got an email about it from a tipster at 11:17 this morning:...
Boston College Suspends Women's Soccer Player For Tweeting Penn State Sandusky Jokes
Boston College is scheduled to play at Penn State tonight in the second round of the NCAA women's soccer tournament.

A.J. Green On The Fallacy Of The Trap Game: "We Lost To Freakin' Cleveland"
The Bengals and Browns are a bitter, bitter rivalry. For Ohioans, it's almost as bad as soap vs. human skin—you just have to pick a side. It makes sense, then, that A.J. Green would be upset about losing to the Browns, but it would make sense regardless of geography because the Browns are terrible....
Jeff Kent Departs <em>Survivor</em> With One Final Rant: "I'm A Game 7 World Series Loser"
The last time we checked in with budding reality TV star Jeff Kent, he was kicking off his appearance on this season of Survivor in a truly inauspicious manner. Since then, he's managed to keep his head in the game. Tonight, though, the dream suddenly died for Kent, who was voted off the island in...
Tim Duncan Smoothly Gives Fan The Finger In Most Boring And Fundamentally Sound Athlete Meltdown Ever
First, let's get this out of the way: Don't whip our your camera and film athletes when you see them in person. Like the woman who sent this video to us. She was at the CVS on Chase Hill Blvd. in northwestern San Antonio on Friday, heard Tim Duncan was in the store, and returned to her car to wait...
Goalie Fined For Dousing Fans With Water Bottle (Also, There Are Minor-League Hockey Teams In The South)
The video above's been out there for nearly a week, but it escaped any real notice until now, likely because it happened at the end of an ECHL game between the Orlando Solar Bears (get it?) and the Gwinnett (Ga.) Gladiators. John Curry, the Solar Bears' goalie, took care to wait until all of his t...

Who should you be rooting for today? Here's a list of some notable athletes and other sports figures who are endorsing either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney....
Marcus Vick Is Begging The Eagles To Trade Mike Vick On Twitter Right Now
In less than 30 minutes, Marcus Vick went from excited to inconsolable. He was pumped up for Philadelphia's big Monday Night Football matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Unhappily, for Marcus, the game eventually started and he went of the rails, not pulling any punches along the way. The offensiv...
Idaho Football's Last Season In The WAC Is Not Going Great
Idaho petitioned the Idaho State Board of Education for the right to leave the WAC-which will likely cease football-related operations next year-and continue playing FBS football as an independent in 2013, joining teams like BYU, Army and Navy. The right was granted, and Idaho saved its football te...
Here's Video Of That UC Santa Barbara Soccer Player Shoving A Referee
This much was certain yesterday: Peter McGlynn, a senior defender for the UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team, had done something to harm an official after first earning both yellow and red cards during the Gauchos' overtime loss to UC Davis. As we told you last night, McGlynn was taken from the fi...
A UC Santa Barbara Soccer Player Was Handcuffed On The Field And Removed From A Game For Punching A Referee
Either during overtime or directly after a loss to UC Davis today, UC Santa Barbara defender (and one-time Second Team All-Big West selection) Peter McGlynn punched a referee that had just tossed him from the game. One early account said McGlynn punched the head official after a 2-1 overtime loss, a...
Pat Burrell Tried To Beat Up Jon Heyman In A Bar Last Night, According To Jon Heyman
And Kevin Millar broke it up! Here's what Heyman's had to say on the subject:...
Here's Former Wide Receiver Ed McCaffrey's Super Cheesy Motivational Speaker Video, Featuring Ed's Thoughts On 9/11
It would be a slight exaggeration to say McCaffrey compares breaking his leg to 9/11 (see about 3:45 in), but he does say the two events are "forever linked together," which—correct us if we're wrong, anyone out there who immediately thinks of Ed McCaffrey's 9/10 broken leg on Monday Night Footbal...
"Suck My Fuckin' Dick, You Piece Of Shit": Golfer Mark Wiebe's On-Air Meltdown Would Fit In Well On Your Local Muni
PGA Champions tour golfer Mark Wiebe is in the top ten of the AT&T Championship leaderboard at the moment, but a missed putt during yesterday's second round sent the 55-year-old on a humorously foul tirade—though, as always, we find the apology afterward far more amusing. You know, because viewers...

While it may not approach Jon Hamm-trouser snake levels, Percy Harvin makes an impressive appearance in The New York Times this morning. Click to enlarge....
