Obese Santa Claus Lookalike And FIFA Whistleblower Chuck Blazer Gracefully Exits CONCACAF While Being Investigated By FBI
Chuck Blazer, if you recall, is the FIFA executive who went public with bribery accusations against Mohammed bin Hammam, the only rival to Sepp Blatter during FIFA's presidential elections.

Chris Carpenter Was Not Pleased With Himself After Giving Up A Game-Tying Homer Last Night (Video)
The highlight shows Derrek Lee bouncing out harmlessly to end the inning, but Andrew McCutchen had belted a two-run homer on the previous at-bat to tie the game at 4 in the seventh. Golly, Carpenter's reaction is a heckuva lot worse than what Jaws said during Monday Night Football, even if it was ...
UCF Student Fights With Police Officers And Loses, UCF Fans Respond With Thundersticks
You know what they always say: when Boston College and Central Florida get together, hoo boy, call in the National Guard. Say hello to Andrew Galbo, a graduate student at UCF, and someone who should've been tased, bro:...
Helmetless South Carolina Football Player Crashes Moped While Trying To Carry A Pizza
College football players seem to be having a tough time navigating mopeds and scooters. Last year, there was the Kentucky running back who broke his arm during an accident, followed by the Iowa lineman whose frightening crash into a truck was captured on video. Then came Georgia, where coach Mark R...
Kobe Hangin' With The Common Folk
Kobe surprised L.A.'s Drew League with his presence and his jump shot on Tuesday night. This buzzer-beater over James Harden won the game, 139-137, after which Kobe interacted with the common folk for approximately one full minute. He was then ushered outside by the police, probably so that he cou...

The Best Argument For Eliminating Offensive Pass Interference
Different football (Australian), different rules (as far as we can tell from watching this televised Calvinball that airs on the wee hours on ESPN2, there are no rules). But we're still awestruck by this move that Carlton's Andrew Walker pulled on Saturday night....
Stephen Drew's Ankle Did A Thing Human Ankles Shouldn't Do
Oof. That ankle's at the wrong o'clock. But perhaps even worse is when he snaps it back into place. (If you're squeamish, you may not want to watch the super slo-mo at 0:51, right after the announcer "hopes it's not a possible break.") It is, and Drew's obviously done for the season....
Erin Andrews: Haunted
Aggressive Women's Magazine Photographer: Okay, Erin, I've been told the headline on this story is "The Haunting of Erin Andrews" so I need you to look as haunted as possible for me, ok? Great! There it is! That's it. Work it. I need more haunt! MORE. YES. Gorgeous. Gasp, and then release. Eyes wide...
This Is The Most T.O. Thing You've Ever Done
When the season is actually delayed, we'll hate the NFL lockout for that. But for now we're just pissed at Goodell and/or De Smith that there's no football news out there. Summers suck for sports, and NFL draft/free agency/holdouts/training camp talk are an entire second season that we're lacking. W...

Andrews looked directly at him and took a few steps forward and aske...
