Newspaper Scientists Engineer Story That Will Make Everyone Self-Righteously Angry

Michigan Pulls Off The Walk-On Scholarship Surprise Pretty Well
Much like pregame soldier-family reunions or fake-out marriage proposals, the tradition of surprising walk-on athletes with full-rides has become something of an over-used social media fixture.

This Is Not Targeting, Somehow?
Mike Williams hung on and got the first down here, but it cost him a huge shot from Alabama DB Tony Brown.

Odell Beckham Jr. Is Furious And Correct
You don’t need me to tell you that Odell Beckham Jr. spending last Monday on a boat with Justin Bieber and Trey Songz didn’t have anything to do with him dropping three passes in yesterday’s loss to the Packers.

Sorry, Zaza Pachulia Will Not Be An All-Star
The NBA released the first returns for All-Star Game voting earlier today, and in the West, Warriors role player Zaza Pachulia sits second among frontcourt players, behind only Kevin Durant.

As Usual, Steph Curry's Making Outlandish Layups
