Croatian Boxer Viciously Attacks Referee After Match
Croatian boxer Vido Loncar took on Algirdas Baniulis at the European Youth Boxing Championships in Zagreb, and the match was stopped after Loncar started getting lit up by Baniulis. Loncar was not happy with that decision, and vented by beating the shit out of the referee....
This Shameful Display Of Mass Injury-Faking Is The Pinnacle Of Diving
Here it is, soccer haters. If any of you needed that one crucial piece of evidence that the sport's players were a bunch of diving, playacting wimps, this video showing five Defensor Bolívar players faking injuries, forcing the ref to end the match eight minutes early, should be just what you've ...
Tony Romo Calls Out LB Jameel McClain As The Mike; McClain Disagrees
Quarterbacks call out the Mike linebacker all the time in football. The purpose is so the offensive line knows which defensive players to block, using the Mike as a starting point. (Here's a quick, good explanation for the unfamiliar.) When Tony Romo identified Giants linebacker Jameel McClain as ...
Gennady Golovkin's Crushing Overhand Knockout Punch, In Slow Motion
We gave you one shot of GGG's second-round knockout last night, but HBO threw up the realtime and reverse-angle slow motion shots. It's worth a re-watch, if only to gawk at how ordinary Golovkin can look throwing an overhand left that would drop an APC. ...
Gennady Golovkin Wins Again With A Devastating Knockout Punch
Marco Antonio Rubio only lasted to the second round before being eliminated by a brutal left from Gennady Golovkin. We're used to seeing this sort of waste being laid by GGG, but will anyone step up to present a real challenge to the Scariest Man Alive?...

The Africa Cup of Nations, the biannual tournament to crown the continent's top soccer country, is scheduled to kick off in three months.

Justin Bieber's Latest Boxing Highlight Is A Sad Sham
Justin Bieber is bad at a lot of things, like singing and dancing and writing lyrics and dressing and soliciting prostitutes and driving and basketball and other things, too. For some, reason, though, boxer Floyd Mayweather, a very bad, 37-year-old man, has decided to befriend this child, and even...
Bruce Bochy Was The Anti-Matheny, And It Made All The Difference
If you're looking for an argument that having a smart manager in the dugout is integral to a baseball team's success, last night's Cardinals-Giants game is it. Not only did it feature Mike Matheny badly managing his club right into a walk-off homer, it had the manager on the other side of the field,...
How The Cowboys Have Made The Most Out Of Ex-Bust Rolando McClain
Remember Rolando McClain? The star Alabama linebacker the Raiders took with their first pick in 2010, hailed as a surprisingly wise move by then-owner Al Davis? The guy who was, naturally, a huge bust because the Raiders can’t have nice things? Well, he popped up on the Cowboys this season playing a...
Giants Brief Players On Ebola Before Trip To Dallas
Given America's infrastructure and standards of medical care, we realistically have very little to fear from the West African Ebola outbreak that recently arrived in Dallas.

God Can't Save You From Ebola, But This Song Might
Not too long ago, I spent six months living in Dallas. I found it to be a horrid place full of old-school, overt racists and liberal champions who threaten to fuck young journalists in the ass. That said, I have a contingent of homies there that I love with all my heart. I enjoy waking up, poppin...
Lululemon's Buffalo Store Taunts Fans With "Wide Right/No Goal"
Being a Buffalo sports fan can be pretty depressing. The Bills are, at best, mediocre and remain the only franchise to lose four Super Bowls in a row while winning zero. The Sabres offer little relief, having also won zero championships and promising to be one of the worst teams in the NHL this seas...
NPR: Ebola Might Make Chocolate Expensive (While Killing Lots Of People)
Yeesh. Lotta scary Ebola news these days. Between the situation in Africa seemingly spiraling beyond anyone's control, a botched containment job at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, and exposed people breaking quarantine to go strolling around New Jersey, presumably barfing Ebola blood on school...
Mayor Of London Hacks Down Little Boy In Pick-Up Soccer Match

Journeyman boxer Emanuel Augustus was shot on the street in Baton Rouge Monday night, according to The Advocate, about a mile from a gym where he regularly sparred.
