Jets Fan Breaks Out The Mark Sanchez "Buttfumble" Jersey

It was over long before Greg McElroy put on his helmet, wasn't it? Mark Sanchez lost his team last week, when he ran headfirst into a lineman's ass. It's tough to be a respected locker room figure—a leader of men, really—when your career highlight reel is negated by a Farrelly brothers pratfall....

Jim Schwartz Ain't Even Mad

The Colts topped Detroit yesterday thanks to some last-second Andrew Luck magic, and it's the sort of ending one might expect could launch notoriously-volatile Lions coach Jim Schwartz into orbit. Not so, it seems, as Schwartz simply brushed it off with a "haters gonna hate" and marched back into t...

How Is The Nation's Best Offense Not Playing In A Bowl Game?

In 2012, Louisiana Tech averaged 51.5 points per game, the best in the country. Although they finished the season with two straight losses to Utah State and San Jose State, the Bulldogs still finished the year with a 9-3 record overall.

Rasheed Wallace Just Got Ejected After 85 Seconds Of Playing Time [Updated With Video]

And it was for the best reason. His first tech, naturally, was for shoving [UPDATE: More of a whack, really] Luis Scola. Goran Dragic went to the line to shoot his technical free throw. He missed.

Fireman Ed: The Last Superfan

Maybe you know that Bruce Harper wore number 42 for the New York Jets from 1977 to 1984 and that he is the all-time leader in punt return yardage in Jets history. It's more likely, however, that you know that Fireman Ed wore number 42. He didn't back Joe Namath or Wesley Walker or Curtis Martin. Th...
