Jaguars Junction: Week Eleventy
Jacksonville is the largest city in America by the “measure that counts,” according to geographers—total land area, rather than population. In this way Jacksonville is America’s number one city. ...
Brett Brown Is As Perplexed By Markelle Fultz's Shot As You Are
The fog surrounding Markelle Fultz and his possibly injured shoulder and definitely broken jumper has started to lift, and the Sixers are now beginning to admit that everyone’s worst fear has come true: Markelle Fultz is healthy, but he still cannot shoot a basketball properly....
Jalen Ramsey Was Born For This
Maybe this is stupid, but my first thought after the Jaguars beat the Steelers to advance to the AFC Championship game was, “I can’t wait to see what Jalen Ramsey has to say about this.”...
Watch Vikings Fans Lose Their Minds Over Stefon Diggs's Touchdown
The thing to notice for in fan reaction videos to the final miraculous play of Sunday’s Vikings win is the sound—sort of a double-surge of joy, first when Stefon Diggs goes up to get the pass, and second when he turns around and everyone realizes there’s no one between him and the end zone....
French Soccer Ref Loses His Mind After Getting Accidentally Tripped By Player
Because soccer referees need to be in the thick of the action, every now and then they will be inadvertently tripped up or bowled over by a player. A normal reaction to this is for the ref to clamber back to his feet with a smirk, and maybe laugh about the accident with the sheepish player once play...
The Steelers Surrendered The One Weapon They Needed Most
It’s always nice when a shocking playoff loss comes with a handful of moments that can be picked out as the definitive causes of the collapse. Following their 45-42 loss to the Jaguars, the Steelers are left with these: two failed fourth-down conversions, a botched onside kick, and Mike Tomlin’s poo...
Oh No, Marcus Williams
Twelve or so hours later and I still don’t know what happened. I don’t know what Marcus Williams was thinking when he went low, and also a little sideways, and ended up missing Stefon Diggs altogether and instead taking out his own teammate, allowing Diggs to float unthreatened down the field for on...
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT REALLY HAPPENED<em></em>
I scared the shit out of my kids. They had already been subjected to three hours of me clapping and yelling and screaming at the TV, bearing witness to an utterly deranged side of their father that they almost certainly would have preferred to never learn about. I sat. I stood. I paced. No position ...
Vikings Miraculously Don't Blow It, Thanks To Incredible Last-Second Touchdown<em></em>
The Vikings held a 17-0 lead over the Saints at halftime today. And then they blew it. Drew Brees came alive and kicked into gear, and a back-and-forth second half approached a close with New Orleans kicking a 43-yard field goal to go up, 24-23, with 29 seconds to play. ...
Golf Channel Limits Coverage, Lowers Quality After Technicians Go On Strike
The Golf Channel’s technicians went on strike today after disagreements over their contracts remain unresolved after months of negotiations....
Goddamn, The Jacksonville Jaguars Are Going To The AFC Championship
Thanks to a 45-42 victory over the Steelers today, the Jaguars will face the Patriots in the AFC Championship next week. After jumping out to a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter thanks to three rushing touchdowns, Jacksonville did enough to hold off a five-score, 469-yard game from Ben Roethlisb...
Markelle Fultz's Shoulder Is Healed But His Jumper Is Just As Busted As Ever
We’re at the point, now, where practice court videos of a close-to-healthy Markelle Fultz taking unbearably bad-looking jumpers are just sad and infuriating. What the fuck happened? Who did this? Who can I yell at, right now, about what has happened. Anyway, God, look at this:...

Trae Young Buried TCU Under A Barrage Of Insane Three-Pointers
Trae Young rules. He leads all of NCAA Division 1 basketball in both scoring and assists, and his 9th-ranked Sooners lead the nation in points per game. Back in mid-December, Young, a freshman playing in his 10th official college game, tied an all-time record when he dished 22 assists in 29 minutes,...
Kolten Wong Had An Especially Frightening Time During Saturday's Missile Scare
Saturday’s brief missile scare is destined to become an obscure bit of trivia, especially after our idiot president inevitably fires a nuclear missile at, like, Luxembourg, over construction delays in the building of another gaudy Trump property. It already seems surreal and dreamlike that just yest...
Atlanta Falcons Somehow Lose To Nick Foles<em></em>
In the month since losing starting quarterback and MVP candidate Carson Wentz, the Philadelphia Eagles have played a skittish backup at quarterback behind a spotty offensive line, at the exact time that their highly ranked defense began collapsing. The franchise hadn’t won a playoff game since 2009,...

Hawaiians Watching Morning Sports Treated To Terrifying "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" Missile Threat Alert [UPDATES]
A false alarm missile threat emergency message went across the Hawaiian islands today, blowing up phones and triggering the Emergency Alert System, something most of us have only ever experienced in our lives as “this is only a test.” Hawaiians who got up early to watch soccer or basketball instead ...
