Big Ben Claims The Steelers Haven't Been Cursed By Justin Bieber
On Saturday, Justin Bieber and the Pittsburgh Steelers were both at a worship service.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I find ...
Qatar Sports Minister Says He <em>Probably</em> Won't Imprison Gay Soccer Fans
It's hard to keep track of all the reasons it's so fucked up that FIFA decided to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, so here's one you might not have been aware of: It is illegal to be gay in Qatar, and the country's sports minister isn't willing to give anyone a straight answer on whether gay peopl...

Delirium Tremens: A Refreshingly Morbid Belgian Ale
Last week, Esquire published a gentle little rant decrying the rise of lower-alcohol session beer. The author's mistaken thesis is that the praise pendulum has swung too far away from the sort of mighty, boozy beers he prefers and too close to an imaginary wave of thin, watery Bud Light-alikes who...
David Moyes Is Back ... For Now
Well, it looked touch and go there for a minute, but sure enough, Real Sociedad have announced David Moyes as their new manager. Hey, Moyes managed to not mess something up!...
Mark Sanchez Kept The Machine Running Smoothly And Then Had Cheesesteaks
This is not a declaration about how Mark Sanchez has revitalized his career in one night, nor of confident belief that the Eagles' playoff hopes are intact. If there's anything to draw from last night's blowout of the Panthers, it's just that Chip Kelly's team still has a chance. That's good enoug...
Hockey Fan Fight Starts And Ends With A Flight Down The Stairs
This starts off just like any other fight between fans at a sporting event, with two guys puffing up their chests and talking some shit while the rest of the crowd waits for something to happen.

One Of The Weirdest Moments Ever On <em>Monday Night Football</em>, Made Weirder
How bad was tonight's Eagles-Panthers blowout? So bad that Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden started making protein shakes in the booth. That was weird enough, but we scraped together the best Soviet-era electronica to make it even weirder, and more stupid....
Seth Griffith Scores Backwards, Through-The-Legs Wonder Goal
This is only the fourth goal in Boston Bruin Seth Griffith's young career, but he may never score a better one. Turned around by Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky, Griffith still managed to get his stick on the puck and poke it into the goal. This came after Griffith blocked a shot on the other end, ...
Phil Jackson Gets Mad At Perfectly Legitimate Criticism
The New York Knicks aren't a very good basketball team, and at times this season they have clearly struggled to implement coach Derek Fisher's version of the triangle offense. When asked by reporters about the Knicks, this led NBA commissioner Adam Silver to direct some light teasing their way. Via ...
