Official <em>Monday Night Football</em> Twitter Account Accidentally Links To German News Story About Brutal Nightclub Death

Apparently, ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast runs some Twitter contest that amounts to "What player is Jon Gruden thinking of right now?" Last night, Gruden was thinking of San Francisco's NaVorro Bowman, which user @DanShedd correctly guessed. The MNF crew congratulated Dan on Twitter, told h...

Paul Posluszny Has The Face Of A Football Player

Despite losing a 43-37 overtime thriller to the Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars fans can find solace in a few positives from Sunday's game. First, they were part of the first overtime in NFL history to feature three separate scores, but more importantly linebacker Paul Posluszny emerged from a fumble ...

Your Monday Night Football Open Thread

Chicago at San Francisco: So, this might have been a decent game but neither starting quarterback will be playing due to concussions. Instead it's Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick. Yikes. Kaepernick did surprise the Jets earlier this year with some solid Wildcat-esque play, but presumably the Be...

This Rob Gronkowski "Cha Cha Bitches" Sign Is The Rob Gronkowski Of Signs

While Rob "Yo soy fiesta" Gronkowsi has his share of fans, his Sunday didn't end well as the Patriots tight end suffered a broken arm in garbage time that will sideline him for weeks.

Ed Hochuli Reviewed An Un-Reviewable Play And Then Said He Did Not Review It Because It Was Un-Reviewable

Cleveland unexpectedly forced Dallas to overtime, and after an incomplete pass to Miles Austin with 8:35 left to go in the extra period Cleveland called timeout—presumably to force a replay from the booth.

UNC Academic Scandal Continues, Reportedly Tolerated Cheating

While the actual "student-athlete" may have died a long time ago, the conceit somehow lives on. As college athletics has grown in popularity and profitability, the NCAA quietly killed the student-athlete and replaced him with an evil twin brother. It used to be a ringer was a guy who had no connecti...

Losses By Oregon, Kansas State Ensure All-SEC Title Game

Welp, it happened. Kansas State, once thought unbeatable†, loosed the SI-cover-jinx-aided mother of all bedshits Saturday. Call it the revenge of the Southwest* Conference: Texas A&M downs the No. 1 Crimson Tide last week, Baylor (editor's note: LOL) conks the Wildcats this week. This is agonizingly...

The Marlins Specifically Promised Not To Trade Jose Reyes And Mark Buehrle, Traded Jose Reyes And Mark Buehrle

Need another reason to hate the Marlins? Let's add this to the list (there's seriously a list): not only did the Miami Marlins and their awful ownership trade away half the team—they did so despite promising at least two stars, who signed with the Marlins this summer hoping to stay in Miami for some...

University Of Florida Marketing Dept. Outlaws The Acrobatic Parts Of Cheerleading In Response To An Orlando Magic Cheerleader Injury, UF Cheerleaders Righteously Pissed

On Tuesday, Jamie Woode, a member of the Orlando Magic cheerleading squad and "stunt team"—that's where they throw you around—fell during a between-quarter routine and landed on her head and neck, fracturing three vertebrae and breaking a rib. It was scary and uncomfortable to see her on the groun...

A Frustrated Neil Everett Muttered "Son Of A Bitch, Goddammitdangit" Live On <em>SportsCenter</em>

An apparently rough episode of SportsCenter got the best of anchor Neil Everett tonight, as going to break a hot microphone caught the personality muttering some mildly inappropriate language at the end of tonight's 1 a.m. show....

Boston College Suspends Women's Soccer Player For Tweeting Penn State Sandusky Jokes

Boston College is scheduled to play at Penn State tonight in the second round of the NCAA women's soccer tournament.

Michael Irvin Brought Out The PDA For Bills Running Back C.J. Spiller

The noisefest that is the Thursday Night Football post-game show on NFL Network usually proceeds like an unfunny version of TNT's Inside The NBA: full of wackiness, but lacking the charm or anything memorable. You can usually rely on Michael Irvin to do something out of the ordinary, though, and he...

Watch DeAndre Jordan Pretend To Fart On People

Thanks to The NOC, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan has a prank show on YouTube called "Got 'Em." This is a good thing, because it has led to the creation of videos like the one above, in which Jordan uses a fart machine to make people really uncomfortable at a Venice Beach skatepark. We're just sur...

Police Officer Suspended For Dunking His Head In A Bucket Of Urine At A Browns Game

Is your pride worth $450? That's how much one Browns fan earned from his friends for sticking his head into a bucket of human piss, before Cleveland's Week 6 game last month. He was none the worse for wear, and the Browns won, so it seemed like the man identified only as "Phil" wouldn't regret his...
