Why Is An ESPN Vice President Spreading Rumors That I'm Straight? [UPDATE]
"I don't know your personal life," ESPN vice president and executive editor John Walsh told me, on the phone. "I wouldn't comment on anyone's personal life."...
Watch Some Dogs Drive Some Cars
In New Zealand, dogs are learning how to drive cars. That's really all there is to say about this video. Oh, and the dogs aren't driving automatic cars. They're being taught how to drive stick. I don't know how to drive stick....
Georgia Woman Exposes Self, Molests Bar Patrons While Watching SEC Championship Game
Watching a big football game at a bar can be fun. You get to drink beer, cheer loudly, and share in the joy of victory or the pain of defeat with other like-minded fans. That experience is probably what patrons of El Jinete and Friends Sports Grill (!) in Dacula, Ga., were looking for when they set...

How Is The Nation's Best Offense Not Playing In A Bowl Game?
In 2012, Louisiana Tech averaged 51.5 points per game, the best in the country. Although they finished the season with two straight losses to Utah State and San Jose State, the Bulldogs still finished the year with a 9-3 record overall. Bowl games being something of a cottage industry of late, one ...
Alabama Barely Beats Georgia For SEC Title, Right To Demolish Irish In National Title Game
Your national title game will be SEC semifinal champion Alabama against Notre Dame, which in a just alternate universe just got piss-pounded by Ohio State in the Big Ten title game and ceded its title game slot to Florida. In this universe, though, Notre Dame spent the afternoon licking its chops as...
Quinton Dial Nearly Decapitated Aaron Murray, Got Away With It
Alabama leads Georgia 10-7 at halftime of the SEC Championship, thanks to a late Crimson Tide field goal that might not have happened if they'd been flagged for this brutal hit on Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray. Quinton Dial went after Murray after the QB tossed an interception, blindsiding Mur...
Butler's Rotnei Clarke Hit A Wild Buzzer-Beating Three-Pointer To Defeat Marquette In Maui
While the Butler Bulldogs failed to make the NCAA tournament last year after back-to-back national championship game appearances, it seems the Hoops Nation magic hasn't left the tiny squad from Indianapolis. Rotnei Clarke, the embattled Arkansas transfer, erased a two-point Marquette lead at the M...
Mark Buehrle's Pit Bull Is Illegal In Toronto
Alex Anthopoulos thought he hit paydirt, ripping off the miserable Miami Marlins for most of their good players in Jeffrey Loria's latest fire sale. This sabermetric-darling GM, however, is about to learn that the stats can't tell you everything you need to know about a player—e.g. whether that pla...

As It Turns Out, Outdoor Basketball On A Hardwood Floor In November Is A Bad Idea
Last night, the daytime temperature in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina was 69 degrees, followed by a nighttime low of 34 degrees. If we understand condensation correctly, water droplets form on hard surfaces when the temperature of the surface drops below the dew point of the air which is in contac...
The A's Just Released Dallas Braden
Braden threw a perfect game in 2010. He's now looking for a job. Armando Galarraga threw a would-be perfect game in 2010. He got dumped by the Astros. Phil Humber threw a perfect game in April, and he might get nontendered. Johan Santana threw a no-hitter in June and had his worst-ever season before...

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo Gently Sassed Mike Francesa On Twitter Tonight
Recall the video up there, from a broadcast during the Yankees-Tigers division series in 2011. A caller asked WFAN's Mike Francesa—who was awake at the time—what he thought of Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque. Francesa insisted that the caller had made up a pitcher, whose name, if the joke were don...
Georgia Fan's Obituary Mourns "The Tragedy" Of Bulldogs' Loss To South Carolina Last Week
We all die. It may be peacefully as you sleep, a popped vessel that fades your dreams to black. It may be gradually over weeks, a diagnosed dénouement, a slow degenerative smolder that allows fear to give way to acceptance to give way to peace. It may be YouTubeably sudden, as the locomotive sheers ...
Yes, Michael Vick Owns A Dog
This whole thing started last week, when Vick tweeted a photo of his daughter doing homework. Hey, what's that on the table—a box of Milk-Bones? Vick danced around the question when asked about it at practice yesterday, saying he only wanted to talk about football. Maybe someone told him that people...
Is South Carolina Hypnotizing Opponents With "Gay Techno Glow-Stick Music?"
South Carolina has had to scrap on the road this year, but has looked nigh-unbeatable at Williams-Brice, including spanking Georgia this past weekend. A lesser intellect would be content to chalk that up to typical home-field advantage. But the denizens of the SECRant message boards are no lesser ...
