The Time Brett Hull Stole His Coach's Jaguar To Party All Night
Brett Hull stories are the best. Drinking, partying, half-assing it on the ice—you could make up a Brett Hull story right now and I'd believe it, just because his escapades have reached that rarified air where "authentic" matters more than "true." But here's a true one!...
"Mysterious Formula" Decides How Knicks Give Courtside Seats To Celebs
We've all asked questions about exactly how the courtside seats on Madison Square Garden's Celebrity Row get doled out. Is there a ranking system that determines which celebrities get the best seats?

Jack Edwards Mocks Peter Gammons, Makes Fart Noise During Bruins Game
We missed this from yesterday's Kings-Bruins game, but reader Zach helpfully pointed it out. Bruins play-by-play man Jack Edwards is probably one of the few announcers to use a Bronx cheer while calling a game. ...
The Browns' Coaching Search Just Got Sadder And More Desperate
The Browns remain the only NFL team without a head coach. (And the assistants, concerned the front office has no plan, are jumping ship.) Owner Jimmy Haslam told fans to chill out, that this was the plan all along, that the Browns were prepared to wait until all the coaches left in the postseason we...
What It's Like To Skydive Into The AFC Championship
Here's unedited helmet-cam video from one of the Denver Broncos Thunderstorm parachute team from their jump into Mile High before Sunday's game. The best parts are freefall, starting at 1:15, and the (incredibly rapid) descent into the stadium itself, beginning at 3:15. ...

The Browns Have Essentially No Coaching Staff Right Now
It was stupid when Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski was booted after only one season, but Cleveland's situation is getting dumber. The front office still hasn't found a replacement while other rebuilding teams, like the Texans, Skins, and Vikings, have hired new coaches. And now, while the Browns ha...

How Davone Bess Fell Through The Cracks
Davone Bess's offseason has gone from funny to frightening. One day, he's tweeting photos of weed. The next, he's having what can only be described as a mental breakdown at the airport. It soon emerged that Bess had another breakdown in March, a month before Miami traded him to Cleveland. The all-im...
Skiing Through Colored Snow Produces Some Stunning Visuals
Ski videos can get tiresome—we've all seen plenty of slo-mo clips of bros shredding through powder while concussive house music plays over the footage—but brothers Nicolas and Loras Falquet have found a way to add a new wrinkle to the genre. ...

Bill Belichick: Wes Welker Intentionally Took Out Aqib Talib
New England’s top cornerback was removed from the equation early in the second quarter, when, sticking to Demaryius Thomas on a crossing route, he was hit low by Broncos WR Wes Welker and left with a knee injury. Belichick was his usual circumspect self after the game: “That was a key play in the ga...

Peyton Manning And His Touchdown Factory Are In The Super Bowl
It didn't matter how many times Peyton Manning yelled "Omaha" today, whatever it meant. The Denver offense worked the hell out of the Patriots in a 26-16 win, and Manning will have his third chance at a Super Bowl ring....
