Fired Junior Hockey Coaches Rehired After Entire Team Quits In Protest
Parents of youth athletes are notorious for carping about how little playing time precious Madison and Hunter are receiving, complaining to the coach and yelling from the stands.

Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason stirred some shit on his daily radio show this morning when he claimed that the Jets asked the NFL to sweep the visiting locker room for bugs before their Oct. 25 away game against the Patriots.

The Colts' Trick Play Was Even More Of A Mess Than We Realized
The Indianapolis Colts’ failed “swinging gate” play was one of the goofier and funnier moments in recent memory. But punter Pat McAfee has gone into more detail on what was supposed to happen—and what went horribly wrong—and the intent behind the play makes a little more sense. The execution, howeve...
Jamie Collins Is A Freak
The most noteworthy play of Sunday night’s Patriots-Colts game was Indy’s trick play that never should have been snapped, but it’s also worth taking a second to marvel at Jamie Collins clearing the Colts’ line to block an extra point attempt. He timed his leap with the snap perfectly, and used his l...
The Colts' Trick Play Went Hilariously Wrong In Every Way Possible
There are few moments in football more entertaining than a trick play, the weirder the better. One of those moments is a failed trick play. That...thing the Colts pulled last night certainly qualifies....
David Price Was Perfect, Right Up Until The Royals Comeback
On the first pitch of Game 2 of the ALCS today, Alcides Escobar singled to right field off David Price. It was an inauspicious start for Price, yet after that pitch, he would retire the next 18 batters. It was the best pitching he’d ever done in the playoffs....

Jags Coach: Bernard Pierce May Have Blocked For The Wrong Team Because He Had A Concussion
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bernard Pierce made a bit of news after his team’s game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wherein he blocked for the other team during a second-quarter kickoff. It was a funny, surprising little brain fart that became even funnier after the game when Pierc...
Bernard Pierce Doesn't Have An Explanation For Why He Blocked For The Other Team
If Bernard Pierce played for the Buccaneers, he would have done a good job on this punt from Saturday’s game, because Bobby Rainey returned the ball for 58 yards. Alas, Pierce is still on the Jaguars, so his play makes no sense....
This Is A Great Football Photo
The low-angle shot from behind a team deep in its own end is quickly becoming my favorite football photo. Here’s one from yesterday’s Patriots win over the Cowboys, taken by Getty Images’ Christian Petersen, showing God’s and Pepsi’s mighty grace shining down upon Touchdown Tom Brady. (I think there...
Old Man Metta World Peace Says Modern NBA Is Full Of Babies
Metta World Peace is back in the NBA after a few seasons in China and has found an NBA more focused on the three-pointer and passing than the one he left. So, naturally, he has assumed the least surprising position available to him, that the NBA is, “No longer a man’s game. It’s a baby’s game. There...
Here's How Tom Brady Pushes His Sketchy Body Guru On People
Boston Magazine published a lengthy story today on Alex Guerrero, who is Tom Brady’s personal body coach, TB12 business partner, counselor, and—according to court records—a modern snake-oil salesman.

Pulled Pork Smackdown: Subway Vs. Wendy's
During the first several decades of our glorious and persistent fast-food era, America’s low-end, high-speed restaurateurs relied almost exclusively on the cow for protein. And why not? Beef tastes good, and cows are huge, plentiful, and otherwise useless (except the cheese cows, those are cool). Bu...
Tom Brady Becomes Fourth Quarterback To Throw 400 Touchdowns
With this easy one-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Danny Amendola in the second quarter of today’s game against the Jaguars, Tom Brady joined Dan Marino, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning as the fourth quarterback to throw 400 or more touchdown passes in an NFL career....
