The Boerboel, a.k.a the South African Mastiff, is one of the biggest dog breeds in the world. Adults can top 200 pounds, and they were bred to guard farms and diamond mines down in South Africa. Look at this huge pup. His head’s the size of a dang Mini Cooper....

Players on both Super Bowl teams were slipping and sliding on Levi’s Stadium’s notoriously bad turf, but this video, of Michael Oher being pushed backward despite having his feet planted, is especially comical:...
Cam Newton Had A Receiver Wide Open Before Von Miller Strip-Sacked Him
Von Miller’s strip-sack of Cam Newton with just over four minutes left to play will surely go down as the most memorable play of Super Bowl 50.

Cam Fucking Blew It
If you hate Cam Newton, then yesterday was your Christmas because, in the span of roughly four hours, the Broncos defense systemically took apart Newton’s offense, his season, and his reputation.

Cam Newton Was Not In The Mood To Talk
It’s fitting, maybe expected, maybe even inevitable that a player as defined by his personality and his image as Cam Newton will end up be questioned just as much for his words as for his actions.
