Terrell Suggs Acted Like A Kid With ADD On Ravens Photo Day
Terrell Suggs looked pretty good in his return to action, finishing with four tackles, a sack, and a deflection. Yes, the Ravens got blown out, but Suggs is feeling like his old happy-go-lucky self, and you know what that means: horrifying gummy smiles....
This Florida Fan's Spooky Stare During Saturday's Game Might Be The Scariest Thing You See This Halloween Season
The Florida Gators rode a series of Gamecocks mistakes to a blowout win Saturday over South Carolina, but it seems not every fan in Gainesville was impressed by the performance. Here's one gentleman that despite being surrounded by excited young fans spends his time staring into the camera with a...
Al Capone Once Got A Motorcade Escort Into The Northwestern-Nebraska Game
Today Nebraska and Northwestern play their sixth game in a rivalry that began in 1902. As the Huskers are a recent refugee to the Big Ten, this will be the first trip for Nebraska to Evanston since October 1931. Among the spectators in that game, according to this delightful clipping the Northwester...
If Ever A Moment Called For Facepalm, It's Philip Rivers Last Night
How do you blow a 24-0 halftime lead? Account for six turnovers, as Philip Rivers did last night in guiding the Chargers to a 35-24 final score, and you might just do it. To say it was laughable is an understatement, though most of us were, indeed, laughing. (Hopefully after the final interception—...
The Marlins Asked Fans To Share Their Favorite Memories From This Season. It Went About How You'd Expect.
Yesterday, the Miami Marlins posted the lovely photo you see above on the team's Facebook page....
Gene Chizik's Wife Went A Little Crazy On Facebook Yesterday
It's been a rough year for Gene Chizik's Auburn team, but things are about to turn around in a big way if Chizik's wife has anything to say about it. Yesterday, Jonna Chizik took to Facebook and posted the following inspirational(?) screed:...
If Only For A Moment, Lane Kiffin Was Panicked
While USC cruised to a 38-28 win over Utah in Salt Lake City last night—scoring 28 unanswered points along the way—things did not start out smoothly for the Trojans. Back-to-back turnovers on the first two drives set the Utes up for easy scores, and Utah jumped out to a 14-0 lead before a rowdy, if...
"TEWBOW AT QB," And More Fan Suggestions To Improve The Jets
The Jets are in trouble. Their last game against the 49ers was an embarrassing 34-0 rout. Mark Sanchez passed for 103 yards. The Jets' next game is Monday night against the Texans, and the team has to improve. So someone on the Jets' Facebook page came up with the idea to ask Jets fans for help, see...
The Many Horrible, Stupid Faces Of Roger Goodell: A Gallery Of Authoritarian Derp
Roger Goodell is the worst, a nothingburger who rose to power on his daddy's good name, a sort of Commissioner Fredo whose legacy thus far is two self-destructive labor fights, some owner collusion, and ceaseless bullshit about the sanctity of the game. We've spent a lot of time writing about all t...
An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions
Oregon obliterated an inexplicably ranked Arizona team 49-0 last night, relying on its rapid-fire offense and five Wildcats turnovers to blow out Rich Rodriguez's squad. (Note to pollsters: beating a team you mistakenly ranked in the preseason shouldn't impress you.)...
The Astros Are Selling Tickets To A Lunch With Joe Niekro, Who Has Been Dead Since 2006
Above, the Astros's official Facebook page, on which they are currently advertising next weekend's Legends Weekend. The deal?...
An Assistant Coach Bumped Into Mike Shanahan And He Reacted Like A Cat Being Dropped In A Bathtub
Woah there, Mike! A little high-strung? Pressure situation, tough decisions, big games: do not bump into Mike Shanahan; he will claw your eyes out. Anyway, that assistant coach is now fired, so good luck to him in his job search....
Weekend Read: D Magazine on Young Tony Romo
Tony Romo, who is 32 and in his prime as an NFL quarterback, comes from an altogether different era. That's all I can draw from the current issue of D Magazine, in which Peter Simek drills down into a single high-school game to explain Romo's ascent from small-town jock-of-all-trades to a guy with t...
Joe Biden Was Ecstatic When He Learned We Finally Got A College Football Playoff
We take a rare excursion away from sports today, as this screencap is simply too good not to post. The Vice President delivered a rousing acceptance speech for his re-nomination last night in Charlotte, though it's unclear exactly why he felt it necessary to do the Joker routine....
John Elway Has Become That Dude Playing Dollar Blackjack At The Golden Nugget
This is from Sunday, but it's so priceless we had to take a look at it. John Elway, perhaps the greatest quarterback in NFL history, stopped by the booth for a conversation with Terry Bradshaw during this weekend's 49ers-Broncos game in Denver—and he came dressed quite curiously. Maybe this is haut...
ESPN's Adam Schefter Has The Most Adorable Facebook Page
Facebook rolled out its Timeline feature earlier this year, and the redesign makes the site even creepier than it was before. Facebook transformed from a site obsessed with one's present to a site obsessed with one's present and one's past. Users are meant to delineate major life events and use Time...
NBC Confuses Jesse Eisenberg For The Guy He Played In A Movie
Actor Jesse Eisenberg played Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in a movie. He must have done a really good job, because it seems lots of people think he really is Mark Zuckerberg. ...
Team USA Just Barely Survived A Gut Check From Lithuania
The final score—99-94—doesn't tell the whole story: Lithuania had a lead in the fourth quarter, and there were moments where it looked like just about everything that could go wrong for the US team would: atrocious free throw shooting, no rhythm from outside, easy scores for Lithuania's guards, and ...
Yesterday's Flood Of Berserk Baseball Team Facebook Posts Were Made By A Rogue MLB Employee
We thought yesterday's series of wacky Facebook posts appearing on MLB team pages was the work of a very skilled—and very quick—hacker. As it turns out, we were wrong. Not long after we put up our post a Facebook spokesperson issued us the following statement:...

It's gone now, but it seems the Yankees' Facebook was hacked just now as it posted this breaking news about Derek Jeter's upcoming sexual reassignment surgery. Congratulations to the hacker; we didn't even know they had the Internet in Boston....
