It Sure Looks Like Odell Beckham Jr. Made That Catch With Three Fingers
If you haven't seen Odell Beckham Jr.'s insane catch by now, watch it here, but also check out these photos from Al Bello of Getty Images. The details of the whole highlight are beautiful, like Cowboys corner Brandon Carr tumbling out of bounds, the flag on the eventually declined penalty, and the f...
Odell Beckham Jr. Pulled Off Some Miraculous Catches In Warm-Ups, Too
In light of Odell Beckham Jr.'s maybe-the-best-catch-ever catch earlier tonight, we thought we'd put up some highlights NBC aired earlier in the game of the Giants receiver messing around during the pre-game warm-ups, pulling off the impossible and making it look easy. Even better, it's in super slo...
Odell Beckham Jr. Makes Circus Catch Of The Year For A Touchdown
We've highlighted Giants receiver Odell Beckham's skills before, but this is unreal. Check out the athleticism he employs to snag this ball with one hand and still make it into the end zone. Even Al Michaels couldn't believe what he'd seen, and he's seen everything....
Michael Griffin Lays Cheap Hit On Brad Smith, Later Gets Hurt And Booed
Titans safety Michael Griffin leveled Eagles receiver Brad Smith in the first quarter of today's game, and earned a defensive pass interference penalty as well as the ire of Eagles players and fans. The next quarter, Griffin appeared to dislocated his shoulder, and the Philly crowd said goodbye in t...
K.J. McDaniels's Mom Is Sick And Tired Of The Sixers Tanking
The tanking-ass Sixers are gross and bad, and this fact has not gone unnoticed by Sixers guard K.J. McDaniels's mom. Recently, she took to Twitter to let people know that she does not appreciate the Sixers' bullshit....
Sad Sixers Make Sad Pizza Deal Even Sadder
In October, Papa John's announced one of those standard promotions they run where if the Sixers win a game, fans get 50 percent off their pizza. They've wisely changed that threshold to "if the Sixers score 90 points, even in a loss."...
Ron Hextall To Flyers: "That's Fucking Embarrassing"
Ron Hextall was legendarily fiery in his goaltending days, and was brought in to be Flyers GM in the hopes of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that could probably use a kick in the pants—or, this being Hextall, a stick in the grill. After a listless loss to the Rangers, the Flyers players ...
The Philadelphia 76ers Are A Godless Abomination
You almost certainly missed it over the weekend, but the Philadelphia 76ers made a big addition to their roster, scooping up free-agent forward Robert Covington. If you've never heard of Robert Covington, that's because he's an undrafted second-year player who had previously seen the floor in just s...
How The NFL Exploited A Child Abuser To Restore Its Brand
1. When talking or writing about the NFL's handling of the Adrian Peterson case, it's difficult to separate discussion of the vicious cruelty of Peterson's actions from the fairness of the NFL's adjudicatory process. You can wholeheartedly believe Peterson belongs in jail, or in hell, and believe at...
Where Every NBA Team Takes (And Gives Up) Shots
Here's a chart by our friend Ed Kupfer, who does analytics for the Houston Rockets, showing the distribution by percent of every NBA team's offensive and defensive field goals. If you take a second blink through the information overload, it's a shorthand Rosetta Stone for what's going on in the NBA....
NFL Suspends Adrian Peterson For The Rest Of The Season
Amid a weeks-long battle over Adrian Peterson's potential reinstatement, the NFL has decided to push the issue to its end game. The league announced today that Peterson will be suspended indefinitely and without pay—a punishment the NFLPA has already said it will appeal on his behalf....

Odell Beckham Jr. Makes Circus Catch, But All For Naught
It's really a shame Odell Beckham Jr. went to all the work required to bring in this catch, because the Giants went and turned the ball over instead of scoring anyway....
A.J. Burnett Gave Up $4.25 Million To Get Off The Phillies
A.J. Burnett will rejoin the Pirates, signing a one-year deal that will pay him $8.5 million. Getting that figure is crucial, because now we can put an exact dollar amount on Burnett's desire to get out of Philadelphia and back to Pittsburgh....
Michael Carter-Williams, Professed Non-Tanker, Tanks
The 76ers are a sorry excuse for a professional sports franchise. Last season they had the second worst record in the league. During the draft this offseason they had two top-12 picks, and chose to take a guy that has a season-long injury and a guy that is going to play in Europe this year. They'v...
Chelsea And Spain Are Locked In A Dumb War Neither Can Win
Even by the standards of dick-measuring contests, the one ongoing between Chelsea and the Spanish national team has been awful for months. At some point, though, this sort of thing stops being merely dumb and threatens to become actually harmful to the players each side should be trying to protect—a...
Your Best Photoshops Of That Wacky Mark Sanchez Photo
Earlier this week we asked you to Photoshop this goofy Getty Images photo of Mark Sanchez. Your contributions were outstanding! Here are some of our favorites....
Ty Detmer Says Koy Detmer Faked An Injury So Philly Could Put Him On IR
Remember Ty and Koy Detmer, the quarterback brothers? Ty bounced around as a backup, while Koy largely hung on with the Eagles, also mostly as a backup. In 1997, when Koy was a rookie, the brothers were on the same Philly squad. As training camp wound down, the team needed to trim the roster, but wa...
Mark Sanchez Kept The Machine Running Smoothly And Then Had Cheesesteaks
This is not a declaration about how Mark Sanchez has revitalized his career in one night, nor of confident belief that the Eagles' playoff hopes are intact. If there's anything to draw from last night's blowout of the Panthers, it's just that Chip Kelly's team still has a chance. That's good enoug...
