To Protect A Dan Snyder-Owned Radio Station, The Redskins Banned A Competing Station From Airing RG3's Press Conference
The Redskins are severely limiting Robert Griffin III's media exposure before the season starts.

Zack Greinke Has Been Traded To The Angels
MLB just announced the deal, and Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi are saying the Angels are sending shortstop Jean Segura and two minor leaguers to Milwaukee. Safe to say the Brewers have given up on 2012, and the AL West race is going to be completely insane....

Yes, Theo Epstein's Accused Stalker Wore A Red Sox Shirt To Her Mental Competency Hearing
The Harvard-educated crazy lady who showed up in Chicago last week on Cubs GM Theo Epstein's doorstep can't sue us for calling her "crazy lady," it turns out.

"I HOPE U ALL FUCKIN DIE" And Other Reasoned, Measured Responses To The NCAA's Penn State Punishment

A haphazard day for Tiger Woods continued at the par-five 11 this morning as his tee shot went well to the right, landing behind the gallery and creating a stampede of idiots desperate to get a glimpse of Tiger's golf ball.

Rory McIlroy "Nearly Decapitates" Spectator With Errant Drive At 15th Hole

(Never a publication to en...

This Dude In A Tiger Suit Secretly Wishes He Was A Bear
College football is full of hypotheticals. What if the ref had called that play differently? What if the kicker had adjusted slightly to the left? What if the sad man-tiger in the video above hadn't been caught deserting his team by coaching legend Les Miles? Most of the time these questions remai...
What Happens When ESPN Accidentally Allows Write-In Votes On A Facebook Poll
Open Facebook polls are one of the underrated treasures of the internet. Instead of being bound to the only "logical" or "possible" answers, ESPN allowed fans' imaginations to run wild.
