The Cavs have traded Andrew Bynum, three future draft picks and the right to swap picks in 2015 (1-14 protected) to Chicago for Luol Deng. The Bulls are expected to waive Bynum before his $12 million contract becomes guaranteed on Tuesday. Deng will be an unrestricted free agent following this seaso...
Florida State Wins A Positively Bonkers BCS Championship Game
Florida State looked to be shit out of luck tonight thanks to a taunting penalty after a scoring drive. The Noles quickly bounced back and returned a kickoff to go ahead of Auburn 27-24. The final minutes were an insane back-and-forth, but Florida State hung on to beat Auburn 34-31....
Nick Saban And Johnny Manziel Hanging Out On <i>College GameDay</i>

YOU ARE OLD: Bradley Beal Wore "23" Because Of LeBron, Not MJ
Bradley Beal always wore the number 23, from AAU ball to preps to his single year of college. He had to switch to No. 3 when he was drafted by the Wizards, since that number's unofficially retired for one Michael Jeffrey Jordan. You'd think Beal would be honored. But no, it turns out, he wore 23 bec...
"Distractions" Are Bullshit
So Chris Kluwe blew up the Internet last week with this post, entitled "I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot," and the sports world instantly split into two factions: Those who cheered on Kluwe, and those who thought he was a disgruntled ex-punter looking for revenge and ...
Italian TV Presenter Goes Bananas After Kaka's 100th Milan Goal

Fox Sports 1, CBS Still Struggling In The Graphics Department

Two Of The NFL's Strangest Streaks Say The Chargers Will Be Champs
Let's be quite clear about this up front: We don't believe there's anything to this, any more than there was to the (now broken) streak of Redskins home games predicting the Presidential election. It's, statistical noise. But as far as random quirks go, these are pretty fucking weird....

Dumb Column About Michael Vick: "Who Will Think Of The Children?"
There is a stupid thing in the New York Times today, which if read aloud in the proper cadence would sound quite a bit like a warmup oration for a tar-and-feathering. It's about Michael Vick, of course, and it argues that no team in the NFL should sign Michael Vick, for the sake of the children....
Anti-Gay Comments Land Evander Holyfield In <em>Big Brother</em> Hot Water
It took all of two days for Evander Holyfield to face eviction on the British version of Celebrity Big Brother after the former heavyweight champ told a housemate that homosexuality was "abnormal" and a condition that could be "fixed" like "a handicapped person."...

Watch Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery Get Ejected After Bumping An Official
Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery chose a bad time to get ejected from the Hawkeyes' bout against fourth-ranked Wisconsin in Madison: as they held onto a two-point lead over the undefeated Badgers halfway through the second half. That lead disappeared thanks to the four free throws McCaffery afforded h...
Actual Photos Of Lambeau Field From Today
Remember when we thought it was really cold at Lambeau Field? Well, it still is cold—four degrees, currently—but that wasn't accurate evidence of how Lambeau Field is a frigid hellscape. Here are some real photos from today, thanks to AP photographers....

Saints fan Nick Scelfo was at the Linc to watch his team win on a field goal as time expired. He recorded the moments after the Eagles lost, celebrating while being surrounded by Philly fans.
