This Is The Worst Offensive Possession Of The NBA Season
Did you watch the Nuggets-Wizards game last night? I sure hope you didn't, because that game suuuuuucked.

Emotional Man Knowshon Moreno Has Turbocharged Tear Ducts
We saw an odd moment during today's Broncos-Chiefs broadcast on CBS when the network aired a clip of Denver running back Knowshon Moreno crying a copious amount of tears.

How Long Can Peyton Manning's Bum Ankle Hold Up?
Yes, that is a football in Peyton Manning's crotch, and he's not just happy to see you. In fact, he's in an awful lot of pain.

Allen Iverson Finally Obeys Laws Of Nature, Officially Retires
Allen Iverson made his retirement official today, even though it's hard to know how, exactly, to define such a thing for him.
