Tommy Craggs Owes Me Money
In August, I learned that the Jell-O people were rolling out an expanded line of college football logo Jell-O molds and that, in the course of promoting them, the Jell-O people were loudly proclaiming that they WERE NOT to be used to make Jell-O shots. I proceeded to completely lose my mind at the i...

Meet The Dunce Ex-Cop Who Fucked Up The NFL's Ray Rice Investigation
Throughout the coverage of the NFL's handling of Ray Rice, talk of the league's investigatory arm has for the most part presumed a certain level of competence. The NFL employs a number of former law enforcement agents, and has billions of dollars besides—it's got to be capable of getting any informa...
An Idiot Beer Company Sent Us Vaseline
I'm on SweetWater's mailing list. They send me some good shit sometimes. I haven't reviewed any of it yet, just because, eh, lotta beers out there. But they make some good stuff. Today, they sent this bullshit....
How Long Can Southampton Realistically Keep This Run Going?
We figured that, by the turn of the year, we'd have a better idea of what exactly Southampton were. Are they a real threat to the Premier League's giants? Are they a club that could hang on to their top-four place? Or is their hot first half of the season a blip, a bit of good fortune that would soo...
ACC Fires Karl Hess, College Basketball's Joey Crawford
You may not immediately recognize the name Karl Hess—though if you're an ACC fan you probably do—but if you've watched a college basketball game where a referee pulled some look-at-me funny business while misapplying the rules, there's a good chance it was Hess. There was the time he ejected Tom Gug...
Yasiel Puig Will Not Be A Distraction
You can always count on Yasiel Puig to keep things interesting, even on a cold January night in the deadest of baseball's dead period. Puig, your favorite hack columnist's favorite target, made light of the "distraction" label he is often tagged with by posting this photo on Instagram tonight an...
Knicks Run Razzle Dazzle Fastbreak For Alley-Oop Dunk
Sure, after three quarters the Knicks are losing to the Houston Rockets by 24 on their way to a league leading 34th loss, but at least these three guys were able to run this nicely souped-up fastbreak! ...
Mario Balotelli Caught Sliding Into Some Teenage Girls' Instagram DMs
Most of the time, Mario Balotelli is really good at Instagram. Sometimes, though, he messes up. First, it was posting a dumb internet meme (that, to be fair, elicited an even dumber response by the braindead English FA). Now, we find him hitting on a couple 19-year-old Icelandic girls in their DMs...
Club Disaster Or Not, Neymar, Suárez, And Messi Will Still Fuck You Up
Sure, the world might be falling down around them right now, but put Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suárez on the pitch, and they're going to wreck shit regardless. The three forwards have all gotten on the score sheet as Barcelona lead Elche 3-0 in the Copa del Rey. Here's how it happened:...
Roger Goodell Failed, So Now He's More Powerful Than Ever
Unsurprisingly, former FBI director Robert Mueller's report has absolved Roger Goodell and the NFL of any major wrongdoing or misdirection in their handling of the Ray Rice case. We always knew that was going to happen. What's really disturbing about the report is how perfectly its conclusions ali...
The Revolution Delayed After Newspaper Retracts Realest Cop Quote Ever
For a brief time earlier today, shit got very real when a Kentucky newspaper, The News-Enterprise, printed that “Hardin County Sheriff John Ward said those who go into law enforcement typically do it because they have a desire to shoot minorities.” Seriously; it’s right here....
NFL-Backed Investigation: NFL Didn't Lie About Seeing Ray Rice Tape
Former FBI director Robert Mueller's investigation into the NFL's handling of the Ray Rice case has been released.

<i>Blood and Bone </i>Treats Michael Jai White Like The Badass Miracle He Is
America has failed as a society in many ways, and one of them is this: Michael Jai White is not a titanic movie star. There is no reason why Michael Jai White is not a titanic movie star. He can act. He has a calm, still, intimidating presence. He's handsome enough to play the love interest in a...
Yeah, So, Andrew Wiggins Is Getting Good
There wasn't a whole lot to say about Andrew Wiggins in the early part of the season, because before dunking all over Kevin Love, he wasn't really doing much to get excited about. Lately, however, the 19-year-old rookie has started to look like a pretty damn good NBA player....
