Panda Bear Takes Some Snow Tumbles, Knows What Livin' Is All About
The snow might be wrecking everyone else's shit right now, but it's treating this big panda bear named Da Mao pretty well. ...
Duke Assistant Attempts To Pump Up Team By Losing His Damn Mind
Before Duke took on rival UNC last night, cameras caught undergraduate assistant Chris Hoover getting the Blue Devils pumped up for the big game. That is one amped-ass assistant!...
This Is The Best Store-Brand Beer
My wife is very thrifty and low-maintenance, so for the first two years of our relationship, I resisted pointing out that we could buy two yachts or pay off our student loans if she'd just please switch from Advil to a generic pain reliever. It was frustrating, but she doesn't ask for much, so I fig...
No One Can Do The "OOH WAH AH AH AH" Part From That Disturbed Song
Even if you despise Disturbed and their chode-rock anthem "Down With the Sickness," you know what it is. And you know the part at the beginning when lead singer David Draiman hoarsely yells, "OOH WAH AH AH AH." After googling the phrase—initially looking for the five-minute "endurance test"—I found ...
The Bills Dispatched Snowmobiles To Get Players Out Of Buffalo
Once the NFL announced that Jets-Bills would be moved to Detroit, the Bills' concern turned toward figuring out how to actually get the team there. With a driving ban still in place—and many areas of Western New York still impassable, it's no small task to round up 50-something players, plus coach...
Jonas Gray Gets Belichicked
Even though Jonas Gray had the best game of his short career last Sunday, Bill Belichick didn't let it slide when the running back was late to practice today. Gray says he was late because his phone died, so his alarm didn't go off, but Belichick's hardass rules bend for no one. The team held Gray o...
Bills Tell Fans To Call Domestic-Violence Hotline For Ticket Refunds
With Jets-Bill being moved to Monday in Detroit, snowbound Buffalo-area fans are naturally concerned about getting their refunds. The Bills put up a post on their website listing their options, and told fans to call a number with any questions. It was not the right number. ...
Maple Leafs Fans Finish "Star-Spangled Banner" After Mic Cuts Out
Before the Predators blew out the Maple Leafs Tuesday night, the pregame singer's microphone broke. The Toronto crowd picked up where she left off and finished out "The Star-Spangled Banner" strong. Crowds singing national anthems might rank above instrumental national anthems....
Mike Evans Is Too Big, Too Fast, And Too Physical For Defenses To Stop
You should ignore the two-win Buccaneers and their two-bit alarm-clock uniforms. The Bucs suck, and have been on the end of some of the worst beatdowns of the year. There is at least one bright spot, however: Mike Evans is putting up crazy numbers, and he's only 21....
The ND Player Bill Cosby Berated Felt Like A Failure For Years Afterward
Yesterday, we told you about the time Bill Cosby acted like a dickbag and made a Notre Dame All-American football player named Dean Brown cry at his graduation in 1989. This morning, we received an email from a guy named Jerry Barca, who wrote a book about the 1988 Notre Dame season and saw firsthan...
God Help Me, I <em>Do</em> Care About The Maple Leafs' Stupid Salute Controversy
The Maple Leafs—or more specifically, their fans and their media—have a talent. Every controversy seems to immediately skip a stage and go directly to the meta. It's been 12 hours, and it's no longer about whether the Leafs deliberately snubbed their fans by skipping the customary stick salute aft...
<em>Total Recall</em> Was Fucking Awesome
During the first scene of the original 1990 Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger's head explodes. It's just a dream sequence, and the camera cuts away before his face actually pops open. But the fact remains: One of the biggest summer blockbusters of its era opens by forcing you to contemplate the mo...
TV On The Radio Still Sound Like The Future
Pretty rough year for last decade's biggest NYC bands, right? The Rapture quietly broke up. The Walkmen followed up their 2013 "extreme hiatus" announcement with strong but unsung solo albums from Hamilton Leithauser and Peter Matthew Bauer. Interpol released an album that sounds like them and bea...
The Raiders Win And The NFL Circle Of Parity Is Complete
It had been more than a full calendar year since the Raiders last won a game (those salad days of Matt McGloin and Rashad Jennings) but there was joy in the rain yesterday, a stirring 24-20 win over the rival Chiefs. Maybe a 1-10 record doesn't seem like much to you, but there may not be many nights...

Shaq Attempts The Cookie Face Challenge
You may know it as the cookie face challenge, the face the cookie challenge, the oreo challenge, or some other name. Whatever you call it, Shaq attempted it on the set of Inside the NBA tonight. It's pretty entertaining watching Shaq weirdly scrunch his face, but here are five food-related chall...
The Raiders Create A New Definition Of "Excessive Celebration"
The Raiders finally won a game Thursday night, but they wouldn't be the Raiders if it didn't come with a boneheaded, self-inflicted wound. Facing 3rd and 6 from the Oakland 45 with less than a minute left, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith was sacked by Raiders linebacker Sio Moore. It was a pretty go...
Adrian Peterson Gives 90-Minute Interview, Doesn't Say Much
Adrian Peterson has finally broken a two month silence. After he was placed on the exempt/commissioner's permission list on September 17th, he's basically only communicated through bizzaro twitter postings and closed-door hearings. Tonight he spoke with USA Today's Pelissero tonight for a "more than...
