How To Bake Bay Scallops, And Prove That Size Isn't Everything
Seems like bay scallops get kind of a raw deal, doesn't it? At my local purveyor of seafoods, the big honkin' fist-sized sea scallops get a place of honor in the glass display case, while the bay scallops are stuck over in the freezer across the way, packed by the dozens into grim plastic bags, f...

Hey Boys And Girls: You, Too, Can Skate 40 MPH Downhill Over Jumps
Sadie Lundquist (not pictured) launched from the rose window of St. Paul's iconic cathedral, some 40 feet above ground, dropped in and started building speed. A tiny check at the top of a 10-foot cliff and she was over the edge, hitting the ice with a crunch, fighting for balance, blurring through e...
English Team Blocks All Of Hungary On Facebook After Fans Spam Page
Hungary isn't known for churning out scores of soccer stars. So we understand when a nice young Hungarian boy is employed for his ability to kick around a ball, his countrymen want to support him, even if they take it a little far, as Notts County has discovered....
Cool New Camera-Helmet You Strap To Your Head For Live Sports Broadcasts
Sports guys have been strapping cameras to their heads for years and years, to varying degrees of success. Gizmodo's Brent Rose got a look at the very earliest stages of a brand new version being used at this week's X Games. It lets live broadcasts cut to the athlete-POV cam like it would any other ...
The Time I Backed It Up On Matthew Stafford
The place was Dallas, Texas. The time was May 2006. Highland Park High School's senior class had just graduated and was ready to get down at the All-Night Party. And get down, we did, as you can see. The girl in the front looking halfway horrified is me. The man in the green shirt behind me is Matth...
Remembering The Time A Manchester United Player Kung-Fu Kicked A Fan
With all this focus on the unimaginably dumb scandal that has swallowed the brains of the stupids in the sports world, it's good to remember that there was once a time when people were justifiably shocked at behavior during a sporting event. Like the time Manchester United great Eric Cantona jumped ...
The Ultimate Super Bowl Snack Divisional Finals Are Upon Us. VOTE!
Big Peanut took a page out of Big Avocado's playbook, attempting to throw my bracket by ginning up Twitter support. Big Peanut did not succeed....
Why You Should Still Care About Lil Wayne
Sorry 4 the Wait 2, Lil Wayne's mixtape-length apology for the fact that his new album, Tha Carter V, hasn't been released yet, isn't exactly a home run. It's remix-heavy and frankly, a little boring. But that doesn't mean you should stop caring about him....
Ravens To Cut Defensive Tackle Under Investigation For Animal Cruelty
Ravens defensive tackle Terrence Cody's one-year contract expires in March, but the team isn't waiting until then to cut ties with him. The Ravens announced today that they will release Cody after the Super Bowl. Coincidentally or not—Baltimore didn't give a reason for his release—police are reporte...
<i>RoboCop </i>Is The Best Movie Ever Made
In fourth grade, I went to school every day with a RoboCop lunchbox. In retrospect, this seems insane. RoboCop is arguably the bleakest, most violent, most nihilistic movie ever made by an American studio. Every scene seems to drip with malice even when nothing especially dramatic is happening. It's...
Imprisoned Cowboys Fan Sues NFL For $89B For Reversing Dez Bryant Catch
Terry Hendrix, currently incarcerated in Colorado and a serial filer of frivolous lawsuits, has finally struck upon a real injustice. He's suing the NFL for nearly $89 billion for the officiating decision to overturn Dez Bryant's reception in the Cowboys' playoff loss to the Packers....
Washington Logo Digitally Removed In New Ad
This ad, part of the "Change the Mascot" campaign and funded by the National Congress of American Indians and the Oneida Nation, is really subtle—you don't notice until well into it that the logo is missing players' helmets and from the end zone....
There Are No War Heroes: A Veteran's Review Of <em>American Sniper</em>
American Sniper will likely be the most controversial and divisive movie of 2015, and it's mid-January. From concerns over the baldly anti-Muslim social-media rants it has inspired to titular real-life protagonist Chris Kyle's debatable status as a hero to his notorious unreliability as a non-fict...

Colts Player: Officials Stopped Using Patriots' Balls In The First Half
Because the NFL investigation is taking its sweet time (they haven't spoken to Tom Brady yet), and because it'll never reveal anything useful anyway, we're forced to piece together the details and the timeline of how the Patriots' deflated-ball scandal played out. This interview helps immensely: it'...
