We're Searching For The Greatest Clip In <em>College Gameday</em> History
Back when I was going to school in the early 1990s, watching College GameDay was one of the highlights of my week. It still remains a rare diamond in the ESPN shitpile, left relatively unchanged since the early days of Chris, Lee, and Kirk (adding Desmond Howard to the mix was bullshit). But the sho...

Beer Of The Week: Blue Buck, In Time For Canadian Thanksgiving
Monday marks a holiday that in Canada is known as Thanksgiving. Any American will recognize the basic outlines of the day: Get together with friends and family and eat until you can compare stretchmarks and then succumb to naps. That doesn't mean it's the same holiday. Care to (U) guess (S) which (A...
"pEnis peniS Penis vagiNa": Your Roundup Of The Best Signs Behind The College Gameday Crew
They could have just done "pEnis peniS Penis peNis," but I guess they get points for being inclusive. Surprise of the day? Gameday is in Columbia, yet none of these incorporate the whole "Gamecocks" thing all that much. Maybe the ESPN cameramen were on the lookout for those....
<em>USA Today</em> Just Couldn't Wait To Troll Braves Fans And Everyone Else About That Call Last Night
Like the call that handed the Seahawks the win over the Packers two Mondays ago, the ruling in the Braves-Cardinals death match was complex enough to trip up the layman. The call on Golden Tate's "touchdown" could, if you squinted, have been justified based on a slippery understanding of the concept...

C'Mon, Man!
Remember when NFL Primetime was the shit? I know it may be difficult to imagine a time in which Chris Berman wasn't an intolerable blowhard, but indeed back in the days when the NFL's Sunday night game found ESPN home Berman was, simply, a tolerable blowhard....

Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread
Tonight, we've got the Giants and Eagles. It's another important divisional game and we've got two 2-1 teams. Right now there is a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East and no matter what happens there will be a non-Dallas Cowboys team in first place at the end of the night. So that's good. ...
Either Mark May Or Lou Holtz Burped Loudly On ESPN's College Football Halftime Show
Caught off guard when they threw it back to the studio during ESPN's halftime report, somebody burped loudly and directly into their microphone. We're thinking it probably wasn't Rece Davis, because he was getting ready to talk and seems to transition pretty well. So it could either be Mark May or ...

Ostensible Adult Kevin Garnett Deleted Ray Allen's Phone Number When He Left For The Heat

This Is The Angriest America Has Been At Referees Since The 2006 Super Bowl
What would motivate you to Google "referee?" Nothing good (unless you're counting sexy bedroom role-play costumes, in which case, uh, nothing good). The above Google Trends graph (updated last night) shows the relative frequency of "referee" searches in the United States since 2004. The term tends ...
What In The World Just Happened At The End Of <em>Monday Night Football</em>?
This is the farce we've been waiting for. Packers-Seahawks ended with a worthless extra-point attempt after the scab referees initially just let both teams go back to their respective locker rooms, having awarded Seattle a game-winning touchdown as time expired. That's the play up there: a Seaha...
