Cardinals-49ers Scuffle Prompts Official’s Glorious Hat Toss
During an especially heated Sunday for the NFL, one fight late in the Cardinals-49ers game ended with one of my personal favorite NFL sights: an official, out of flags, throwing his hat in the air in order to call an additional penalty....
Brian Bowen's Fate Is Now In The Very Capable Hands Of Louisville And The NCAA
An attorney for Louisville’s incoming five-star recruit Brian Bowen—the player at the center of the school’s involvement in the FBI investigation that resulted in the firings of Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich—announced Thursday that Bowen has been cleared by the FBI of any “investigati...
The Battle Between Tom Jurich And Louisville Is Going To Get Nasty

Rick Pitino Files Federal Lawsuit Against Adidas For Emotional Distress

Louisville Officially Fires Rick Pitino, Who Is Fighting Back

Adrian Peterson’s First Game On The Cardinals Was His Best Of The Season
Adrian Peterson looked bad with the Saints. Awful, even. He was averaging just three yards a carry, his longest run was 11 yards, and it came on first and 20. He had carried the ball just 27 times. ...
Report: Adrian Peterson Will Now Average Three Yards A Carry For The Cardinals
Adrian Peterson has been demoted from Saint to Cardinal....
Purity Of Cardinal Way Being Polluted By Outsiders, Says Ridiculous Column
The St. Louis Cardinals have missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons now. Some might say this is because they’ve become a middling NL team in both offense and pitching, and that an infusion of talent might propel them upwards from those low-to-mid-80s win totals, where they will probably nee...
Rick Pitino And Tom Jurich Made Ungodly Amounts Of Money While Louisville Athletics Suffered
In August, Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich announced an apparel partnership with Adidas that would net the athletic department $160 million over 10 years when it starts on July 1, 2018.

Kentucky Governor On NCAA Scandal: Pay The Players Already

Rick Pitino Releases Statement Right As Louisville Announces His Replacement

Louisville Has Now Lost Their Two Top Recruits
Only hours after Rick Pitino was effectively fired, basketball recruits are beginning to flee Louisville, and why wouldn’t they?

Report: Louisville Fires Rick Pitino After One Too Many Scandals
Louisville fired Rick Pitino Wednesday, according to ESPN, shortly after letting go athletic director Tom Jurich, who reportedly refused to fire Pitino himself.

Larry Fitzgerald Still Kicks Ass<em></em>

Jon Lester Is Not Happy About The Nacho Man
Last night, Cubs shortstop Addison Russell crashed into the stands and absolutely destroyed an order of nachos a Cardinals fan was eating. It was hilarious! Watch it again, or watch it for the first time....
Lamar Jackson Threw Away His Shot
If it’s possible for a reigning Heisman winner to fly under the radar, that’s what Louisville’s Lamar Jackson was doing at the beginning of this season. Jackson doesn’t interest NFL teams quite like more traditional quarterbacks out west—chiefly Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen. Some, including Bill Polia...
Cubs Battery Lose Their Minds Over Blown Strike Three Call
The call that got John Lackey going was a really, really bad one. With the count 2-2 against Carlos Martinez in the top of the fifth inning, Lackey threw a breaking pitch that sailed right over the middle of the plate. Catcher Wilson Contreras did a bad job framing it up, but it was a strike. Even M...
Looks Like David Johnson Will Be Out For A Long Time
Cardinals do-it-all star running back David Johnson left Sunday’s game against the Lions after injuring his wrist in the third quarter. Johnson reportedly dislocated his wrist, and based on what head coach Bruce Arians had to say to reporters today, the Cardinals are probably going to be without Joh...
