Tell Us About The Worst Thing You Ever Ate On Purpose
I want to be able to tell you that the worst thing I ever ate was, like, a wriggling cupful of live centipedes or a bucket of sand or, like, my own tongue: Something genuinely, universally unenjoyable and downright objectionable, which only the very most diseased psychotic person or most committed p...
Yankees Using Mark Teixeira's Sweat To Sell Pricey Legends Seats

Why Did The Penguins Let Brooks Orpik Keep Playing After This Hit?
One cannot easily diagnose traumatic brain injury by way of a television feed—some big hits can be harmless, and some small ones can pack an unexpected punch. But, watching on TV last night, it was hard to think Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, whose head was rammed into the glass by 228-pound Bru...
Austin Collie Wants To Play Again, But He's Missing The Point
Remember Austin Collie? He's the once-promising Indianapolis Colts wide receiver who for a time seemed poised to replace Brandon Stokely as Peyton Manning's go-to slot receiver. He's also the guy who was concussed twice in 2010—once on the vicious hit you see above, and again just one month later i...
This Might Be The Worst Double Play Call You'll See
This is not a double play. It would've been, probably, if Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland caught the ball to end the play. But he didn't catch the ball. Someone else caught the ball....

The Cavs Are Willing To Trade The First Overall Pick
The Cavaliers beat the odds—a 15.6 percent chance, third-best in the lottery—to land the 2013 first overall pick. But the consensus top pick has questions, and he's not particularly what Cleveland needs. It would make all the sense in the world for the Cavs to trade down from No. 1, something that h...

Chris Kluwe Signs With The Oakland Raiders
It looks like our boy has finally found work. Chris Kluwe punted for the Minnesota Vikings for eight years, but was cut 10 days ago to make room for a younger, cheaper option: rookie punter Jeff Locke out of UCLA. In his time at Minnesota, he carved out a resume as maybe the best punter in franchise...
The Nats Are Still Pretending Bryce Harper Doesn't Have A Concussion
After Bryce Harper ran full-speed into the Dodger Stadium wall on Monday, he "had no idea where he was." He was nauseous all day yesterday, and couldn't play. He's expected to miss tonight's game as well. But he's totally fine, the Nationals would like to assure everyone. Just a little sore....

MLB's Crappy Replay Tech: It's A Miracle Umps Ever Get A Call Right
Much has been made of umpire Angel Hernandez's botching of replay review in last night's Oakland-Cleveland game, a mistake that might have cost the A's the game.
