Important NBA Voices Begin Agitating For A Shorter Season
The book on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver reads that he is an innovator, more open to radical change than expected from somebody whose most salient job responsibility is protecting a multibillion dollar industry. And now that Silver has kicked Donald Sterling to the curb and signed a new media rights...
Adam Jones's Take On The Season: "Fucking Awesome"
The Orioles just lost four straight games to the Royals to get knocked out of the playoffs, but you won't see a morose Adam Jones moping around. His team had the second best record in the American League this season, and reached the ALCS for the first since Mike Mussina was pacing the mound. Jones...

God Can't Save You From Ebola, But This Song Might
Not too long ago, I spent six months living in Dallas. I found it to be a horrid place full of old-school, overt racists and liberal champions who threaten to fuck young journalists in the ass. That said, I have a contingent of homies there that I love with all my heart. I enjoy waking up, poppin...
Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye Is A Rye Beer Worth Fighting For (Or About)
The easiest way to upset a self-identified Beer Geek is to point out the nipple-blood that's soaked through his couple-of-Xs-too-small "Water & Barley & Hops & Yeast" t-shirt. After that, you might as well compound the problem by pointing out that lots of great beers contain all sorts of extra ingre...
Derek Roy Makes Miraculous Goal Line Clearance
Flames forward Devin Setoguchi had to have thought, if only for a split second, that he scored. Ninety-five percent of the puck crossed the goal line on his shot, but before that final five percent could, Predators center Derek Roy backhanded it away. This is why we have goal line technology....
Adirondack Flames Snuff Out Scorch, The Firefighter-Murdering Mascot
Choosing to go in a different direction than the wanton killing of first responders, the AHL's Adirondack Flames have decided to smother the short, eventful life of would-be mascot Scorch....
There Is No Excuse For Drinking Heineken
An editor at a more hopeful outfit recently asked me to write a few paragraphs about the best new beer of 2014. I chose an expensive saison, because that's the kind of thing I like, and he had no problem with the selection, but requested that my article explain why it would appeal "to a Bud Light ...
Cowboys RB Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Cologne And Underwear
Cowboys backup running back Joseph Randle had himself a decent game on Sunday, rushing for 52 yards on just five carries while helping to spell starter DeMarco Murray against the Seahawks. The next day, Randle celebrated by going to Dillard's and allegedly stealing some stuff....
Barely Anyone Came To The Panthers Game
A subhead on the Sun-Sentinel's gamer for last night's Senators-Panthers tilt reads, simply, "Panthers lose again with barely anyone watching." That's about right....
Anthony Davis Instagrams St. Louis Cops Arresting Some Guy
49ers offensive tackle Anthony Davis didn't suit up for the second week in a row because of a sprained MCL, but that doesn't mean he wasn't involved in any action. While walking off the field after the 49ers win, Davis documented this arrest of a fan who claims that he only wanted to get an autograp...

Ferguson Protesters Attend Monday Night Football
Protesters participating in Ferguson October—a long weekend of protests against the deaths of Mike Brown and John Crawford, and police violence in minority communities—brought the struggle to an unusual place Monday night: the inside of an NFL stadium. ...
Danny Briere Nets Game-Winner With 0.5 Seconds Left
It's early, but Colorado Avalanche center Danny Briere has already given us one of the craziest highlights of the year, swatting home a game-winning goal against the Bruins today with just milliseconds remaining on the clock. ...
Kicker Lives The Dream, Scores Touchdown On Own Kickoff
This is William Will, the emphatically named kicker for Dayton, swooping in to recover a fumble and take it to the house for (we are going out on a giant limb here) his first career touchdown. He was named the FCS Pioneer League's special teams player of the week, because come the fuck on....
Oskar Blues Old Chub Does Canned Scotch Ale From Colorado Proud
If you want to be taken seriously in the American beer-geek underground, the first thing you've got to do is grow a big, nasty beard. This is a bit of a challenge for the many aspiring beer geeks who happen to be women or unscuzzy men, but rules are rules. I need to see your beard before I can hear ...
No, That Eagles Employee Wasn't Celebrating Victor Cruz's Injury
Up there is the front page of today's New York Daily News: a guy in an Eagles polo seemingly gloating over a crumpled, injured Victor Cruz on the ground. "PHILTHY," indeed. Of course, the photo captures only one frame. What do moving pictures show?...
Terrance Williams's Catch Was Great, But Tony Romo's Throw Was Better
The best and most important play on Sunday was Tony Romo's hookup with Terrance Williams on a third-and-20, keeping alive a fourth-quarter drive that would end in the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown against the Seahawks. There had been 55 third-and-at-least-20s to that point in the season, according to ...
Ronde Barber Lauds Andy Dalton's Ability To "Suck Off" 290-Pound Guys
Phrasing, Ronde! Phrasing!...
Not Even His Receivers Knew Aaron Rodgers's Fake Spike Was Coming
It wasn't quite a Dan Marino redux in Miami, as Aaron Rodgers's fake spike, which fooled as many Packers as it did Dolphins, didn't come on the winning touchdown. (It merely put Green Bay in prime position for that on the next play.) But we'll never not stop to appreciate an elegant bit of footb...
