An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions

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...
Timbers Defender David Horst Took A Shot To The Face At Point-Blank Range
The Portland Timbers turned away San Jose last night at Jeld-Wen Field with a 2-1 win over MLS' top squad.

Dustin Pedroia Did Not React Well To Rumors Of Kevin Youkilis Being Traded
The Red Sox sent Kevin Youkilis packing yesterday, shipping the popular third baseman (and more than $5 million) to the White Sox for Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart.

New Jersey Woman Sues Little Leaguer Who Hit Her In The Face With A Baseball

Somebody Finally Told Chris Bosh The Truth About Santa Claus
Chris Bosh will reportedly return for the Eastern Conference Finals' Game Five, which really is a shame, because we've grown accustomed to his face—that twisting, tortured face that's provided us so much enjoyment as it beams or frowns or, uh, whatever it's doing above from Miami's bench....
Russell Wilson's Wife Provides Us With Our Favorite Face Of The Draft

Winners, Losers, And Weirdos: The Faces Of The First Day Of March Madness
There will be no more gripping and/or sipping in the NCAA tournament, as WKU's miracle run has come to an end after a thrashing by Kentucky. But for every loser there is a winner, so here's a collection of both (as well as the indescribably bizarre) from yesterday's action. ...
Ben Henderson Severely Messed Up Frankie Edgar's Face En Route To Winning The UFC Lightweight Belt
In one of UFC's better title fights of late, Benson Henderson claimed the lightweight belt as he won a unanimous decision over Frankie Edgar at UFC 144 in Tokyo Saturday night.

NBA Suspends Kevin Love Two Games For Face-Stomping Luis Scola

NBC's Photo Montage Of Tom Brady Was Just Ridiculous
NBC's clearly out to make the players in this game look as demented as possible....
Kevin Love Got Away With Stomping On Luis Scola's Face
Kevin Love gave Luis Scola a facial—and not the kind his porn-star epithet might suggest—that somehow eluded detection by referees. The league office, though, might not be so nearsighted. [FS Houston]...
"Cut Back To A Wide Shot. Open The Skull": The <em>Faces Of Death</em> Guy Looks Back
John Alan Schwartz was on a California beach, trying to capture something life-affirming on camera. Or something that at least would contrast with death. He had a woman and a baby in a hot tub. This was going to be the final scene of his 1978 movie Faces of Death—a low-budget stunt project that wo...
Cal Ripken's Daughter Called Him That Naughty Thing Written On Billy Ripken's Bat
Mix mild-mannered Cal, respectable NPR and a heaping dose of "fuck face," and you get an embarrassed Peter Sagal trying to identify the offending phrase for the audience without actually saying it. Our tax dollars, well spent. [NPR, Baltimore Sun]...
Matt Hasselbeck Apologizes After Antonio Cromartie Threatens To Smash His Face
Responding to New York Jet Antonio Cromartie's rant about how the players' union needs "to get their sh— together and just get it done," Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck took to the tubes and "joked" about Cromartie's intelligence....
God Gave Mark Dantonio A Heart Attack For Beating Notre Dame, Says Soon-To-Be-Suspended Radio Guy
We said it's time to let the MSU/ND game go. Matt Patrick, of a South Bend talk radio station, should probably have read us before he insinuated that God struck Dantonio down for cheating against the Catholics....
