Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery chose a bad time to get ejected from the Hawkeyes' bout against fourth-ranked Wisconsin in Madison: as they held onto a two-point lead over the undefeated Badgers halfway through the second half.

The Lesson Of Black Monday: Your NFL Team Doesn't Know What It's Doing
Yesterday was Black Monday in the NFL. My team's coach got fired. Your team's coach got fired. EVERYONE'S coach got fired. If six Fortune 500 CEOs were all shitcanned on the same day, the markets would crash; there'd be barricades in the streets by noon. But it's a telling sign of football cultu...

Is This Colorado State Coach Calling The WSU QB A "Fucking Faggot"?

How Black Is Duke Basketball?
There's a lot of talk out there—and more than a little evidence—suggesting that this year's Duke Blue Devils, led by the very big and very mobile Jabari Parker, are the most athletic team in the school's history. We decided to investigate whether that claim is true. And since average vertical leap n...
Texans Fire Gary Kubiak
How bad has Houston been? Gary Kubiak's mini-stroke only bought him a month. Kubiak, who's had the job since 2006, is out as coach, a day after the Texans' second loss to the Jaguars. "The last straw was losing," owner Bob McNair said. "We've got a lot better talent than Jacksonville."...
Furious Bo Pelini Nearly Hits Official With His Hat
This day is getting worse for Bo Pelini. He was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty after swinging his hat in a rage and almost hitting an official in the face. Nebraska now trails Iowa 24-10. Someone give Bo some leftover turkey, and let him fall asleep peacefully....
