The first leg of the 1994 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc Des Princes was rife with the tensions of early ‘90s provincial fandom. “The Boulogne Boys [PSG’s right-wing hooligan supporters] were looking for Arsenal fans to attack in the build-up to ...

Suddenly Everyone's Asking About Tony Romo
Let’s just make this clear right off the bat, before the blog machine starts rolling and before, god bless you, you listen to sports talk radio: I’m not saying there should be a quarterback controversy in Dallas.

DeMarcus Cousins Does Beautiful Impression Of Joakim Noah's Shooting Form

CEO Of Airline Involved In Chapecoense Plane Crash Arrested
It is appearing increasingly likely that the plane crash in Colombia that killed 71 of its 77 passengers, including most of the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense, happened because of an act of negligence. Supporting this growing realization is the fact that the CEO of the airline was arrested last n...
Tim Tebow's Baseball Career May Be Resurrected This Spring
By pretty much any and every baseball metric, aspiring outfielder Timothy R. Tebow did not have a successful stint in the Arizona Fall League. His .194 batting average (.242 slugging) included 20 strikeouts in 70 plate appearances. But when it comes to attracting interest (guilty) in otherwise mean...
Todd Bowles Forgot To Tell Ryan Fitzpatrick He Was Benched For The Season
After Monday’s blowout loss to the Colts, Jets head coach Todd Bowles told the media that Bryce Petty, who had come on in the third quarter for Ryan Fitzpatrick, would be the team’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

Boxer Throws A Whole Dang Table At Opponent During Press Conference
I’ll watch any press conference involving British boxers, because I am always delighted by the shit they talk. One guy will be like, “Oi, bruv, you must have me mistaken!” and then the other guy will be like, “Don’t make me knock your block off right here, mate!” This particular press conference, fe...
Kickboxer Who May Actually Be Captain Falcon Ends Fight With Flying Knee Strike

Of Course Andrew Bogut Has Bad Pizzagate Takes
A certain subset of the dumbest people alive are riled up over an unbelievably specious conspiracy theory that posits Hillary Clinton and her associates are secretly running a pedophilia and child trafficking ring out of the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Washington D.C. It’s known as...
Novak Djokovic Parts Ways With Coach Boris Becker
Novak Djokovic, who had what you could call an “off-year,” if only by his obscenely high standards, split up today with coach and six-time Grand Slam winner Boris Becker. In the three years that he worked with the German, Djokovic tightened his chokehold on the entire men’s field, only slackening hi...

It's Bryce Petty Time
The New York Jets still have four games left to play, but last night’s no-show against the Colts was an effective and fitting end to their season. The Jets are 3-9 now, and whatever combination of luck and competence that got them to a 10-6 record last season is nowhere to be found....
Bomani Jones Treats Us To A Litany Of Atlanta Falcons Failure<em></em>
The Falcons lost to the Chiefs yesterday thanks to a rock-dumb two-point play that they had no need to take. Falcons fan Bomani Jones went off on the team this afternoon on Highly Questionable and made a pretty convincing case that the Falcons are cursed losers who exist to torture their fans. In ca...
