Orlando Scandrick Plays <i>Madden</i> To Win, Even At A Children's Hospital

Orlando Scandrick apparently visited a children's hospital yesterday, and according to linebacker Justin Durant, Scandrick whooped some punk in Madden. The Cowboys cornerback even went with a surprise onside kick on the kid. You have to be ready for anything, little Timmy....

The Red Sox's Lowball Offer Last Winter Probably Cost Them Jon Lester

Last winter, Jon Lester said he "absolutely" would offer a hometown discount to stay in Boston. In the end, the reason the lefty ace signed with the Cubs appears as simple as the Red Sox overestimating just how big a discount they could get away with proposing without pissing Lester off....

Awful Neighbor Sics City On Backyard Rink That Causes "Visual Harm"

Backyard ice rinks are a tradition in Canada and the northern United States. They are practically the only benefit of living in the goddamn tundra. Some backyard rinks are amateur affairs, nothing more than some 2x4s and a hose, while others cost thousands of dollars and have lights, real boards, an...

Anderlecht Player Celebrates Goal With Unique Romantic(?) Gesture

We're familiar with the thumb-in-mouth celebration (usually aimed at the scorer's child), and the point-to-the-stands one (usually in acknowledgment of the scorer's friends and family), but Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrović's cunnilingis-inspired ode, ostensibly targeted to the lucky lady(s) in...

Rajon Rondo's Free Throw Shooting Is Historically Awful So Far

Rajon Rondo has never been a great free-throw shooter. Coming into the 2014-15 season his career average was 62.1 percent—substandard for a point guard—but so far this season, Rondo has been a calamity. He's shot a horrendous 9-30 (30.0 percent) clip from the "charity stripe" in his 15 games played....

Argentine Woman Says She Was Brutally Beaten For Wearing Soccer Jersey

Above is a picture of Lorena Sabio and her daughter, wearing a River Plate shirt ahead of the club's match against archrivals Boca Juniors last Thursday.

Dez Bryant Doesn't "Give A Fuck" What You Think About His Yelling

Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant has a habit of getting really energetic on the sidelines. As we've found out via the NFL's access to players, Bryant just likes shouting to keep his teammates' morale high. He and corner Orlando Scandrick were yelling on the bench last night so the Cowboys could hold thei...

Golf Tournament Interrupted By Charging Baboon

South Africa is lousy with baboons (who will totally just fuck your shit up), so when you're playing golf there, like Luke Donald is this weekend, you gotta be ready for a baboon to just roll up on you....

Tony Romo Is More Busted Up Than Anyone Realized

We knew he had back surgery in the offseason. We knew he received two fractures when he was kneed in the spine five weeks ago (and sent back into the game.) But it was only last night that Cowboys QB Tony Romo revealed that he's spent most of this season playing with a broken rib. ...

Brennan Clay Posts Alleged Sexts Between His Wife And DeMarco Murray

Former Oklahoma running back Brennan Clay tweeted on Sunday that his wife Gina D'Agostini was cheating on him with Cowboys running back Demarco Murray.

This Kansas City Beer Bravely Triumphs Over Its Hippie-Trash Name

My wife and I got stuck in traffic on the way back from Western Massachusetts Sunday afternoon, which almost prevented us from seeing kickoff of the Patriots' 21-26 victory over those lucky (and terrifyingly good) Packers. But rather than risk missing the beginning of the game—or the whole game, or ...

Laptop Man Unfazed By Kobe-Rondo Meeting

Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo got breakfast together in Boston this morning, which is fine and good and probably means that Kobe is trying to convince Rondo to come play with him in L.A. so that the two can form some kind of super team of surly-assness and eventually kill each other. But that's not wh...
