Profane Rant By D-III Christian College's Golf Coach Is A Thing To Behold
You could forward through the first 1:55 of this clip to get to the yelling and the screaming and the oh-so-many bad words. You could. But you shouldn't, because the buildup is what makes the explosion so great. Calm, helpful strategy gives way to praise for the one player who shot a decent round,...
Nick Saban Cutout Stolen From Gas Station, Returned To Gas Station; Nation Exhales
We can barely keep up with all the breaking Nick-Saban-cutout news.

A Fully Redeemed Mark McGwire Will Be The Dodgers' Hitting Coach
It's kind of weird to picture, this report from the Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss. Mark McGwire leaving St. Louis to become the Dodgers' new hitting coach, even turning down the Cardinals' offer of a contract extension? It's not just that McGwire has been wearing red for 15 years-sometimes we prefer t...
Youth Football Coaches Arrested For Running Gambling Ring

Why Did Jamaal Charles Get Only Five Carries? Romeo Crennel Has No Idea.
Brady Quinn beat out Matt Cassel in the saddest quarterback competition ever—and then left the game with a concussion after going 2-for-4 for a single yard. This was only the second-most Chiefs thing to happen this week. That would be the star running back getting just five carries all day, and the ...
Cincinnati Head Coach Butch Jones Iced Louisville's Kicker At The Exact Wrong Time, And The Bearcats Lost Because Of It
The football coach's obsession with icing the opposing team's kicker before important field goals embodies the two primary dispositions innate to football coaches: performative micromanaging and ignoring statistics.

Bobby Valentine Refuses To Go Away, Throws David Ortiz Under The Bus
Bobby V is no longer the Red Sox' manager—this alone is cause to break out the duck boats.

Florida Gators Coach Will Muschamp Can't Control The VOLUME OF HIS VOICE

"Look At Me, Mr. Fucking Howdy Doody!": Wyoming Head Coach Goes On Hilarious Rant After Loss To Air Force
Last Saturday, Wyoming lost a conference game to Air Force by a score of 28-27. It was a tough loss for the Cowboys, as they squandered a 10-point halftime lead.

The Rockies are on the hunt for a new manager a...
Little League Football Assistant Coach Viciously Slaps Referee After Disputed Call

Weep For The Millionaire College Football Coaches Who Can't Sell Their Million-Dollar Homes

Heath Bell Called Ozzie Guillen To Apologize, And Ozzie Accidentally Deleted The Voicemail Without Listening To It
