Every Heartwarming Draft Story Is A Commercial
At some point yesterday, you probably read about soon-to-be-NFL-quarterback Teddy Bridgewater giving his mom a pink Cadillac, thus fulfilling a promise that he made to her when he was nine. It was a sweet story, the kind that's designed to make us all feel good about sports and moms and America. It ...
Facebook Is Dead
I don't use Facebook much anymore, because anyone with a brain knows that Facebook is terrible. Apart from the long-standing complaints about privacy and insufferable people posting pictures of their own feet from a fucking beach, it's really only useful as a one-time thing. You make your account....
Sidney Crosby Gets Whacked In The Face By A Linesman
The Penguins, playing for absolutely nothing but trying to turn around a .500 run since the Olympic break, fell 4-1 to Carolina last night. It was this sort of game all around. [Gif by Mike Darnay/PensBurgh]...
Report: Senior FIFA Members Tried To Halt Corruption Probe
Every time FIFA does something right—like forming an independent investigation into allegations of corruption surrounding the votes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups—it manages to shoot itself in the foot. Reports out of Switzerland claim that "senior FIFA power-brokers" attempted to derail the inves...

America Hates Male Nipples: FCC Viewer Complaints About The Super Bowl
As we do every year, we submitted a FOIA request to the FCC for all viewer complaints about the Super Bowl. What would this year bring? Anti-Coke bigots? Richard Sherman haters? Nah. But some folks were really upset about the Red Hot Chili Peppers' nipples....
MLB Sees First Play Overturned On Review

Carlo Ancelotti's Eyebrow Is The Greatest Thing Ever: A Gallery
Some may argue for Jon Hamm's jawline, Angelina Jolie's lips, or Halle Berry's cheekbones as the world's greatest facial feature but for my money, perfection incarnate is Carlo Ancelotti's left eyebrow. Its curve. Its omnipresence. It's the most interesting to happen on a human face since Cyrano de ...

Scientology Ran A Local Super Bowl Ad
It's the second year in a row the Church of Scientology purchased a Super Bowl spot, and again it ran only in certain urban markets, so there's a good chance you might have missed it. Maybe the curve has been sledgehammered by Jamie Casino, but it's...a little staid? Step it up, cultists....

Down With Big Birthday
I have two kids with birthdays coming up and as much as I would like to sidestep the Birthday-Industrial Complex, it's no easy task. There are two levels of peer pressure in the birthday universe: the peer pressure exerted on your children (not that I really care about that) and the social pressure...
Officials Sent The Wrong Sedin Twin To The Penalty Box
It's hard to blame the officials for occasionally losing track of things during last night's punchy 1-0 Kings win over Vancouver, a game that saw 109 total penalty minutes. It's extra-hard to blame them for penalizing Henrik Sedin for an infraction committed by Daniel Sedin—they look alike, and all....

What The Hell Was This Five-Minute ESPN Infomercial For Tim Tebow?
This morning's Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN found itself traversing very odd ground as panelist Trent Dilfer presented a package on what a great job Trent Dilfer did at making new ESPN hire Tim Tebow awesome at playing quarterback. How awesome? "Tom Brady" awesome, if you believe ESPN....
