Um, Colin Cowherd Has Been Picking Football Games Really Well This Year
ESPN's Colin Cowherd is, even by sports-shock-jock standards, pretty loathsome. He's an inveterate race-baiter. I needn't carry on, but if you'd like me to, I will—he periodically lapses into a nasal whine that no one needs to hear on pay-TV....

Watch DeAndre Jordan Pretend To Fart On People
Thanks to The NOC, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan has a prank show on YouTube called "Got 'Em."

Police Officer Suspended For Dunking His Head In A Bucket Of Urine At A Browns Game
Is your pride worth $450? That's how much one Browns fan earned from his friends for sticking his head into a bucket of human piss, before Cleveland's Week 6 game last month.
