Freddy Adu Is Still Alive, Actually Playing Some Pretty Good Soccer
The last time we heard from the young man—despite being (in)famous for over a decade, can you believe he’s still only 26?—formerly known as The Next Pelé, Freddy Adu had flopped out of Finland’s league and was spending his considerable free time on the nightclub hosting circuit. But Adu did make it ...
Report: Giants Tight End Daniel Fells Could Lose Foot To MRSA Infection
Daniel Fells suffered an ankle injury in practice a little over a week ago. Initially, it wasn’t thought to be serious. He was given a cortisone shot for the pain and coach Tom Coughlin was optimistic he’d play last week. Instead, he went to the hospital with 104-degree fever and has since undergone...
Ruben Tejada Carted Off Field With Broken Leg After Brutal Takeout Slide From Chase Utley
A takeout slide from Chase Utley that didn’t even start until the Dodgers pinch hitter had reached second base broke up a double play but left Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada on a medical cart to be removed from the field. To add insult to injury, umpires refused to grant Tejada the neighborhood play an...
Rutgers Loses Mind, Spikes Ball On Fourth Down
Hapless Rutgers somehow found themselves with a shot to tie up fourth-ranked Michigan State and force overtime in New Jersey. But that shot was wasted when confusion reigned and quarterback Chris Laviano spiked the ball instead of organizing a hail mary attempt. It’s as if for 59 minutes and 50 seco...
Matt Millen Has Some Strong Opinions On Targeting

U.S. Soccer Loses To Honduras, Gets Into Big Shoving Match
Honduras beat the USA U-23s 2-0 in the semifinals of the Olympic qualifying tournament today. The United States played without creativity, and resorted to medieval soccer, just kind of hacking it up to their taller players for most of the second half. The frustration built up after Jordan Morris had...
ESPNers Bomani Jones And Danny Kanell Got Into A Twitter Fight
ESPN does not like when its personalities publicly call each other out. That is exactly what Bomani Jones did today to College Football analyst Danny Kanell.

Texas Avenges Their Sick Bovine Mascot, Shocks Oklahoma
The run-in to this week’s rivalry game against Oklahoma did not go well for Texas.

WKU Accidentally Recovers Onside Kick
Western Kentucky’s putting a real beatdown on MTSU today, and things got even worse for the Blue Raiders when the Hilltoppers’ attempt at a squib kick ended up in WKU hands. We’re mostly surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often....
410-Pound Baylor Tight End Has Great Moves, Catches Touchdown Pass
LaQuan McGowan is a 6’7”, 410 pound tight end for Baylor. That’s impressive enough, but consider the move he puts on a Kansas defender here to find the end zone and give the Bears a 38-7 second quarter lead....
Mets Press Conference Descends Into Chair-Lowering Prank Contest
The Mets won the battle of long-haired aces last night down in Chavez Ravine, as Jacob deGrom calmly struck out 13 Dodgers and allowed a mere five hits. David Wright’s seventh inning, two-run single put the Mets beyond reach and New York has a chance to go back home with a 2-0 lead....
Greg Hardy Made A Stripper-Heavy Rap Video While Suspended
Greg Hardy recently returned from a suspension that he earned for allegedly violently abusing his former girlfriend. He’s come back and has basically said all the wrong things, including that he’d return, “guns blazing.” You might recall he allegedly threw his then-girlfriend onto a bed covered in g...
Stop Making Ryan Mallett's Grandmothers Cry
Ryan Mallett sounds like he’s just about the grumpiest Ryan in the world right now. He got pulled from the Texans’ 27-20 loss to Indianapolis and barfing zombie Matt Hasselbeck on Thursday, then visibly sulked up and down the sideline for the rest of the game as Brian Hoyer put in a much better perf...
Here's How Tom Brady Pushes His Sketchy Body Guru On People
Boston Magazine published a lengthy story today on Alex Guerrero, who is Tom Brady’s personal body coach, TB12 business partner, counselor, and—according to court records—a modern snake-oil salesman. The FTC investigated products promoted by Guerrero twice, the magazine reports, and in both cases th...
