Referee Karl Hess Came Within Moments Of Catching A Swirly From A Large And Pissed-Off Head Coach
Scene-munching referee Karl Hess worked a Samford-East Tennessee State overtime game Thursday night, eventually won by ETSU, 81–72. Hess, you may recall, was shitcanned by the ACC in January 2015 after an ugly taunt of a former Wake Forest board of trustees chairman broke the camel’s back, but he’s...
Texas Handler On Mad Bevo Attack: "He Was Just Going To Say Hi"

Arizona State's Manny Wilkins Has Got To Stop Attempting Hurdles
Hurdles are one of the most disrespectful ways someone can get past his opponent on the football field.

Napoleon The Racing Corgi Crushes All Challengers, Is A Very Good Boy
Here is a true thing: Even the fastest corgi still looks like an absurd tubelike dog-snake hybrid. The Seattle Seahawks attempted to prove this with the 2018 Corgi Cup, which was held during halftime of Monday’s game. There were so many bread-shaped contenders that they had to hold two heats....
Here’s Bill Walton On Jay-Z, The Pacific Northwest, And Ex-Idaho Sen. Larry Craig’s “Wide Stance”

No One Knows Who Doped These Sled Dogs
A four-time winner of the Iditarod Trail Race has been cleared in a nearly-two-year old case involving four of his dogs testing positive for a banned substance. Except—it’s weird. What’s been overturned is not that Dallas Seavey’s dogs were doped. Oh, those dogs were doped to the gills. What has app...
Rui Hachimura Hit The Game-Winner For Gonzaga And Is On His Way To Being A Household Name
So...Gonzaga’s good. And you can say that without any qualifier, either: They’re not some scrappy upstarts, or even a particularly surprising national No. 1. They’re undefeated, and have come by their ranking honestly. And they feature one of the best players in the nation, Rui Hachimura. All of tho...
Heroic Doggy Keeper Rescues Blundering Human Keeper With Great, Adorable Save
Juventud Unida beat Defensores de Belgrano 3-0 on Sunday in Argentina’s third division.

The Hater’s Guide To Your Dog
I have a dog, and it’s a pain in the ass. The dog never goes out in the rain. He won’t leave his bed unless my wife lures him out with cheese, and it HAS to be her, otherwise he gets bitey. He sits on top of the chair all day and does NOTHING. When I walk him, he’ll lay down right in the fucking str...
Stop Dropping The Fucking Ball Before The Goal Line, You Idiots
One would think that the habit of dropping the football before crossing the goal line in a real-life game would be easy enough to not develop.
