Sometimes Holmes didn't make the catch because he was interfered with. And sometimes he didn't make th...

Some Jackass Made Blowjob Pantomimes Behind Home Plate At Wrigley For Nearly An Inning Before Getting Ejected
Weather delayed last night's Pirates-Cubs bout at Wrigley Field for several hours, and by the end of the 3-0 Pittsburgh win there weren't many fans left in the stadium. There was, however, one guy who really wanted to get on TV making blowjob faces....

Scab Ref Tells LeSean McCoy: "I Need You For My Fantasy Team"
It's an important distinction to note that most criticism of the replacement officials is directed not at them, but at the league for forcing it to come to this point. We know the refs are doing the best they can; we know they're just not prepared. (More than getting the calls right, memorizing the ...

For Your Consideration: A Man Wearing An Airbrushed T-Shirt With John Elway As Adolf Hitler
I'm not saying the guy is as bad as Hitler. That's definitely not what I'm saying. Hitler, we all know, was a real motherfucker. I'm just sayin', Elway? The guy's a dick, you know? And the fans? Do not get me started. Thinking they're so special with their mile high salute. Well how 'bout this salu...

Yunel Escobar's Eyeblack Reads "You Are A Faggot" In Spanish [UPDATE]
The image above comes from Saturday's Blue Jays game, and it shows shortstop Yunel Escobar with the Spanish phrase "Tu Ere Maricon" written on his eyeblack. That translates into English as, "You Are A Faggot." We've tried to come up with a plausible explanation for this. The best we've got is that ...

Stephen A. Smith Thought An Article About Him In <i>The Onion</i> Was Real
Earlier today, The Onion posted a rather harmless, totally fictional article entitled, "Stephen A. Smith Thinking Son Is Finally Ready For The Sex Argument." This wouldn't normally be news; but when Stephen A. Smith finds it, thinks it is a real article, and yells about it on Twitter? Yes, then it ...

On His Blog, Teemu Selänne Says Gary Bettman "Is Certainly The NHL's Most Hated Person"
Teemu Selänne has been an NHL player for 20 years, but he's also been writing an occasional blog post for MTV3 (!) in Finland (!!) since July 2010. The Finnish Flash's blog had been quiet since late May, but today Selänne weighed in with some thoughts on the NHL lockout. A sample, after someone on R...

Jay Mariotti Is Maxin' And Relaxin' And Writing Shitty-Ass Columns Again
Look at that picture! Just look at it! That's a picture of Jay Mariotti, taken right after he polished off his second craft beer of the afternoon, no doubt, and right before he started talking about how he's always "really appreciated" Tom Waits, and that most people don't know that about him....

This Is The Worst Own Goal Ever
It's from last week's Circiuma-America tilt in Brazil's second division. Circiuma keeper Michel Alves makes a pretty nifty save before getting overwhelmed by all sorts of derp. Only thing better might be the announcer's manufactured excitement....

Idiot On The Field During Jacksonville Game Actually Outgained The Jaguars, Thanks To Security Ignoring Him
Late in yesterday's embarrassing Jaguars performance at home against the Texans, a presumably beer-fueled fan took to EverBank Field to perform the usual jackassery of an Idiot On The Field. As the crowd cheered his antics, though, yellow-shirted security completely ignored what was happening on t...

Here's A South Carolina Trainer Eyefucking Bruce Ellington
Ooh, 20 yards per catch? You know what that does to me, even if it is against a Conference USA team. God, that crop top/shoulder wrap combo should be illegal. What's that? The quarterback broke his arm? Tell him to take an Aleve, I'm busy here. Mmm, so busy. You must be tired, Bruce. You've been r...
