The man in the Ryan Kerrigan jersey might have watched his team lose Sunday, but he earned a personal victory—probably—by showing his butt to everyone as security forced him to leave....
Vontaze Burfict Is So Dirty
I mean, you knew this. Even before Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict went headhunting on Antonio Brown, helping to cost Cincinnati the game, he was the guy who slapped another player in the balls, the guy who tried to twist two opponents’ ankles, the guy who in the regular season put Le’Veon Bell out for t...
The Ryan Boys Are Back In Town
After getting fired by the Saints, defensive coordinator Rob Ryan stopped by his brother Rex’s Buffalo Bills in early December. It was just a brief visit at the time, but on Sunday, Rex officially hired his twin brother to be part of the Bills’ coaching staff. Buddy Ryan’s large adult sons are now c...
Report: Ben Roethlisberger Has A Separated Shoulder, But He'll Try To Play At Denver

Deion Sanders Says Vontaze Burfict "Owes The Media" Answers

Steelers Move On After Winning Field Goal Set Up By Attempted Antonio Brown Assassination
Vontaze Burfict’s head shot to Antonio Brown and a subsequent penalty on Adam “Pacman” Jones earned the Steelers and a hobbled Ben Roethlisberger enough yardage to set up a game-winning field goal—one that erased what had been a stunning fourth-quarter Bengals comeback....
Giovani Bernard And The "Unfortunate Hit" That Knocked Him Out And Enraged The Bengals
Tonight’s already tense Steelers-Bengals Wild Card game turned very ugly after Ryan Shazier knocked out Giovani Bernard and forced a fumble with a devastating hit delivered to Bernard’s skull.

Martavis Bryant Buttcatch Vindicates League That Still Doesn't Know What A Catch Is
Martavis Bryant’s buttcatch is one of this season’s most spectacular plays, but we’ll forgive you if you missed it due to falling asleep or having any of a hundred better things to be doing at 10:15 on a Saturday night. This being the NFL, we fully expected officials to declare it incomplete. How ha...
Nobody Did Anything Right On This Play
The Steelers extended their lead over Cincinnati with William Gay’s fumble recovery (until they didn’t, after replay revealed the officials missed a down by contact) and the Steelers’ celebration drew a flag (which the official whiffed on trying to throw) and Jim Nantz declared it a touchdown (for t...

Todd Haley Can't Feel Cold, Loves Wearing Shorts
Todd Haley is a pretty decent offensive coordinator who’s far more famous for being a frothing rage volcano. He’s messed with Rapoport, gotten mad at John Harbaugh over a preseason game, and has feuded with his quarterback. Hell, he pissed off notoriously chill guy Snoop Dogg of all people....

In our NBA season preview post, published, uh, a couple hours after the NBA season began back in October, I wrote the following about the Milwaukee Bucks:...
#1 Kansas Knocks Off #2 Oklahoma In 3OT Thriller
Monday night saw an exciting-as-hell throwback to a different time for college basketball: the two best teams in the country facing off, each led by a senior. In the end, Perry Ellis (27 points, 13 rebounds) and #1 Kansas topped Buddy Hield (46 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) and #2 Oklahoma, 109-106...
Shitty Cricket Man Harasses Female Sideline Reporter
Melbourne Renegades batsman Chris Gayle decided to act like a butthole when sideline reporter Mel McLaughlin attempted to interview him during a game against the Melbourne Stars. Gayle came at McLaughlin with all kinds of cringe-worthy come-ons, and clearly made her very uncomfortable....
Thad Matta Does Best Stanford Shithead Impression
Somebody must have told Thad Matta about the Stanford shithead who won’t shut up, because the Ohio State head coach popped up behind forward Marc Loving during his Big Ten Network post-game interview tonight to shout out “HEISMAN!” a few times. It’s humorous, but you should really see the time he re...

Jimmy Butler Loses His Mind, Scores 40 Points In One Half
The Bulls went up to Toronto without Derrick Rose today in need of some momentum.

There’s a glut of kinda-sorta good teams in the East and, as ...
