A Great Dog
I love this independent, bus-riding dog. I also love how it licks the bus seat at the beginning of the video. I don't even care how unsanitary that is. This is such a good dog....
Who Wants Jim Schwartz?
After Rex Ryan became the head coach of the Bills, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz found himself in an odd position. Ryan wanted him to stay with the team, but Schwartz is choosing to move on and find work elsewhere. So, who wants him?...
Let's Look At All The Shitheads Who Thought A Playoff Was A Bad Idea
We'll start with the obvious, which is that the college football playoff was fucking awesome and I am happy that it finally exists. It returned meaningful football games to New Year's Day, which I had missed dearly. It amplified the importance of regular season games, rather than diluting them. I...
Police Use Tear Gas, Pepper Spray To Break Up OSU Celebrations
As soon as the Buckeyes finished off their championship, fans and students flooded the streets on and around Ohio State's campus. They were largely well-behaved, but it didn't matter: after about 90 minutes, authorities cleared out the area with mounted police, riot cops, liberal use of pepper spray...

Nikola Vucevic Whomps On Pau Gasol's Head With Dunk
Pau Gasol is having his best season in a couple of years, suggesting that his recent demise wasn't about physical ability but the psychic torture that the Mike D'Antoni-Dwight Howard-Old Kobe Bryant-Nick Young Los Angeles Lakers imposed upon him. But one of the cool things about the NBA is that almo...

ESPN Blames Cardale Jones's Inexperience For Loss That Hasn't Happened
ESPN obviously has a number of graphics and stories ready so that no matter how tonight's national title game proceeds, they'll be ready with the instant analysis. If Ohio State loses and substitute QB Cardale Jones plays poorly—which doesn't look likely, given how well Jones is doing—ESPN will focu...
Watch This OSU Cheerleader Get Nuked In Three Photos
We're not exactly sure how it happened, but here's a great three-photo sequence from photographer Tom Pennington of Ohio State emerging from the tunnel, which we've turned into a GIF I've now watched 50 times....
Why Ohio State Is A Sneaky-Bad Match-up For Oregon
Oregon looks like a clear favorite over Ohio State in the college football championship game. The markets opened with Oregon as a 7 point favorite, which implies a 70 percent win probability. The predicted margin of victory is even higher with my team rankings based on margin of victory at The Powe...
Tony Romo Holds His Butt
Tony Romo's on the ground, it's cold, and his butt hurts. Let him feel sorry for himself for a second. Fortunately for the Cowboys, Romo's butt wasn't seriously injured....
Rex Ryan Trades Geno For EJ
As reported by Adam Schefter and re-double-super-confirmed by the rest of Twitter's NFL beat, former Jets coach and Tarantino foot shot enthusiast Rex Ryan is expected to take the Bills head coaching job today. He'll be coaching a perpetually downtrodden AFC East team with a good defense and a hope...
College Hockey Fight Finished With One Punch
Fighting is strictly prohibited in NCAA hockey, with penalties for engaging in fisticuffs that can reach multi-game suspensions. Still, it happens on occasion—as we saw tonight in Grand Forks when North Dakota's Stephane Pattyn dropped Minnesota-Duluth's Derik Johnson with a single punch....
Dick LeBeau Leaving Steelers, Says He's Resigning, 'Not Retiring'
Dick LeBeau is leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers, the legendary defensive coordinator told his hometown newspaper today. And the Hall of Famer made it clear that he's still up for coaching—just not with the Steelers—telling the Daily Citizen that it was a "mutual parting" and "time to make a break." ...
Tommy Craggs Wants You To Be As Miserable As He Is
I've had the privilege of sitting next to Craggs for five years now (and working alongside him at ESPN The Mag for a year before that, though I don't think he once bothered to say hello or introduce himself—this generation's I.F. Stone wouldn't deign to pretend he was doing anything more than slummi...
Meet The Dunce Ex-Cop Who Fucked Up The NFL's Ray Rice Investigation
Throughout the coverage of the NFL's handling of Ray Rice, talk of the league's investigatory arm has for the most part presumed a certain level of competence. The NFL employs a number of former law enforcement agents, and has billions of dollars besides—it's got to be capable of getting any informa...
