The Associated Press Has Finally Gone About Correcting Its Lennay Kekua Reporting
Whoever said print media wasn't nimble? It's been three weeks and two days since we published our initial story, "Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax." The Te'o story has made its rounds through the national media be...

Rob Gronkowski, Porn Star?
The Summer of Gronk, Part II, might be less than three weeks old, but it's already so far along that Gronkshaming has become a thing. So where can it go from here? Why not porn! A porn company has offered Gronk $3.75 million—the equivalent of his 2014 salary—to record a scene with his friend BiBi Jo...

Mr. Belding Endorses Diamond Dallas Page For Some Twitter Award
Not so long ago I did a kind of hatchet piece on Diamond Dallas Page and his new fangled yoga, called DDP Yoga. Since then, DDP Yoga has proven me wrong. A lot of people really love it! Including Dennis Haskins, who you likely only know as "Mr. Belding."...

Here It Is, The Dumbest Thing Ever Written About Rob Gronkowski's Partying
The Summer of Gronk started early this year, with shirtless drinking, shirtless dancing, and the usual assorted shenanigans. But Year 2 has come with a backlash, the growing phenomenon of Gronkshaming....

Here's More Footage Of Rob Gronkowski Dancing Shirtless In Vegas
Earlier today, we enjoyed some footage of Rob Gronkwoski boogieing at XS Nightclub in Las Vegas. Thanks to reader Tony, we have been blessed with even more Gronktastic dancing. Although this clip doesn't feature any wrestling moves, it does have the added hilarity of a nearly naked guy with a card...

Rob Gronkowski Danced Shirtless And Wrestled At A Vegas Club And Fell On His Bad Arm
Sunday was the Super Bowl, yes, but it was also a day whose name ended in “-y” after the Patriots’ season had ended. So Rob Gronkowski, naturally, was drinking and dancing shirtless somewhere. But he went further than usual this time around!...

Bernard Pollard Has A Broken Rib For Nearly Every Patriot He Has Injured
According to the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson, Ravens safety Bernard Pollard played most of the season, including the Super Bowl, with six broken ribs....

Here's A Photo Of Johnny Manziel And Rob Gronkowski Wearing Shirts And Not Drinking
If you asked us which two athletes would be most likely to team up and flood the internet with photos of themselves shirtless and partying during a night out, our answer would be simple: Johnny Manziel and Rob Gronkowski. And yet, here we are, staring at a photo of Manziel and Gronk that features n...

Boston Is Really Bummed Out About The Super Bowl
This is almost too good to be true. It's taken only a handful of years for Title Town to completely revert back to the blubbering, blundering, sad-sack Boston we all know and love. It has been eight years since the Patriots won a Super Bowl. Eight! That is almost an entire decade of complete and tot...

If Your Super Bowl Party Doesn't Have A Grid Pool, You're Just Getting Fatter And Watching Commercials
The first time I heard a grid pool described, my father was coming home with a pocketful of bills he'd just won down at his favorite watering hole. Essentially you make a 10-by-10 grid, strip numbers vertically and horizontally, buy a square, and if the last digit of the score matches your square, y...

How To Make Pulled Pork: A Guide For Unfussy Super Bowl Eaters
So the Super Bowl is here, and the internet has spent the past several weeks telling you that your game-watching experience will be a sad, dismal, disappointing failure unless it is accompanied by a veritable buffet-table of exotic culinary delights—Great catch, Boldin! Could somebody pass me anothe...

Rob Gronkowski Went To Baton Rouge For A Night Of Shirtless Partying
Giant man-puppy Rob Gronkowski has been in New Orleans all week, enjoying the Super Bowl festivities. Yesterday, he swung by the SportsCenter set to tell us that he hates being injured "to the max," and then he made one little kid's year by dropping $100 on a glass of lemonade. Once Gronk was finis...

Bernard Pollard: "What A Coincidence It Is That Somebody Always Has To Get Hurt When I'm On The Field."
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Pollard doesn't want to injure anyway, it just kind of happens....

Tom Brady's New House Literally Has A Moat
Above, Tom Brady's new $20 million California home, which, besides being sunken into what looks like an un-traversable valley, also has a moat—literally, a moat. You can't really see it from the above angle because the massive house is blocking our view, but here's another view, where you can the m...

Terrifyingly Mean Ravens Safety Bernard Pollard Refuses To Wear Pants
That's according to the New York Times, which today published a brief profile of Bernard Pollard that may have been the result of an unpleasant encounter between Bernard Pollard and the author of the profile. Though the piece is at pains to point out that Pollard is "confident" and, according to a f...

Patriots Player's House Robbed During AFC Championship
Patriots journeyman safety Derrick Martin nearly enshrined himself as a good luck charm—he was on the Packers two years ago when they won the Super Bowl (though he finished the season on IR) and was a Giant when they took the Lombardi Trophy last year. Instead New England came up a game short on Sun...

Shannon Sharpe Actually Makes Sense Talking About Bill Belichick's Refusal To Do Post-Game Interview
Following his team's loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, Bill Belichick declined an on-field post-game interview with CBS's Steve Tasker. It was a childish move, but not necessarily a surprising one. On the the CBS post-game show in studio, Shannon Sharpe actually had som...

Dwight Howard Ejected On Perhaps The Flimsiest Double Technical Foul Ever
What you see there, somewhere, is Dwight Howard's second technical foul of the day—second technical foul of the first half, even—and so, the referees had to send him packing. Their hands were tied, it's a rule. Howard appears to get tangled up with the Raptors Alan Anderson after a Metta World Pea...
