UNF Wins A-Sun, Gets First Ever NCAA Bid; Bandie Ecstatic
ESPN found a North Florida band member going berserk at today's A-Sun title game in Jacksonville, and this is before the Ospreys downed USC-Upstate to earn their first trip to the NCAA tournament. We can only assume what he did after the buzzer sounded was too extreme for television....
Let's All Be More Like This Large Fellow Who Slapped Joakim Noah's Ass
You might be tempted to call E'Twaun Moore's game-winning three the highlight of last night's contest between the Thunder and Bulls, but I submit that the night's truly transcendent moment occurred on the ensuing possession, when a portly Bulls fan lost all notion of etiquette and got himself a big ...
Report: MLB Could Suspend Josh Hamilton For A Year
The four-person panel tasked with deciding the discipline for Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton, who admitted to a relapse and violation of MLB's drug policy, is hopelessly deadlocked, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. At issue: whether Hamilton's suspension should include entering a s...
Billboard Bad
As defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh gets ready for free agency, billboards are now popping up, hounding him for ... liking money? I'm not sure exactly what's going on, here. Maybe it's one of those statements where your takeaway is what you want it to be. Is it Banksy?...
Fight At Avalanche Game Features A Dude Trying To Punch A Lady
This happened at Saturday's game between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche in Denver. It begins with one Avs fan getting angry at visiting fans, and it ends with a much more dangerous Avs fan trying to punch a woman....
How Long Will Josh Hamilton Be Suspended?
I (and others) believe that Josh Hamilton should not be suspended, if only because every drug or alcohol relapse he's had has occurred when he's away from baseball. Many addicts need structure; every addict benefits from staying busy. But it's seemingly not a question of if the Angels outfielder wil...
Dutch Hooligans Who Tore Up Rome Somehow Even Dumber Than You Thought
Remember those crazy Feyenoord fans who turned up in Rome ahead of their team's Europa League clash with Roma? The ones who seemed more concerned with tearing the city down before the match than with the game itself? Yeah, well they're getting ready for round two....
Goalkeeper Hops Into Stands To Throw Hands With Fan
Way down in the bowels of England's soccer pyramid lies the Isthmian League and teams like Kingstonian and Bognor Regis. This is the realm where players play for the love of the game, and fans attend for the love of the drink. Occasionally, the two sides collide....
Soccer Fans Resist Urge To Be Hateful Assholes For Once
Soccer fans are, almost without exception, horrible people. So you can imagine our surprise, if also our reluctance to truly trust, the behavior of these Stuttgart fans, who consoled poor little Timo Baumgartl after a huge mistake lead to an easy goal to all but seal their defeat....
VCU Fans Successfully Pull Off Fake Shot Clock Countdown
The fake shot clock countdown is a staple in college arenas across the country, but it only occasionally works. It's not too difficult for players to glance up at the big shot clock above each basket, and they're usually smart enough not to trust the opposing fans. I'm not positive the VCU fans tric...
Feyenoord Fans Clash With Police, Trash Roman Square
An estimated 7,000 Feyenoord fans made their way to Rome today for the Europa League match against Roma, according to the BBC, and some of them came just to make trouble. They gathered on the famed Spanish Steps to drink, set off flares, trash a nice fountain, and generally cause mayhem. Italian pol...
Dutch Soccer Hooligans Running Wild, Clashing With Riot Police In Rome
Roma are set to host Feyenoord later today in the Europa League, so it stands to reason that a bunch of Dutchmen would show up to cheer on their boys. What's unfortunately just as predictable is that the rival fans would bring, along with their support, the motherfucking ruckus....
Racist Chelsea Fans Stop Black Man From Boarding Train, Chant At Him
The video below was shot at the Richelieu-Drouot station of the Paris Métro today, according to The Guardian, before Chelsea took on Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League clash at the Parc Des Princes. You can see a black man attempt to board a car that has a bunch of singing Chelsea fans in it,...
Mad Genius Attempts To Smuggle So Many Damn Beers Into Soccer Game
I don't know how much beer costs at a Turkish soccer game, but I imagine the prices are just as exorbitant as they are here, and so I sympathize with this man's desire to sneak his own aclohol into the stadium. I admire his ingenuity as well, as it is no small feat to design an outfit that can conce...
<i></i>French Soccer Fans Rep Their Club With Stunning Colored Dust Cloud
Hey, this is really cool. Girondins de Bordeaux hosted AS Saint-Étienne today, and Bordeaux's fans thought of a cool new way to support their squad: dust....
Virginia Fan Turns Into Furious Dancing Machine, Somehow Loses Dance-Off
There was a dance-off at a Virginia basketball game last week, and it was a travesty. The fan who gave it her all lost to some shuffling guy. Grammys voters just keep sucking....
David Stern Has James Dolan's Back Too
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has already announced his support for Knicks owner James Dolan, who responded to a letter from an angry 72-year-old fan by telling him he should "try sobriety" and start rooting for the Nets. Silver said that was just Dolan being "a consummate New Yorker," which, as a Ne...
NBA Backs Dolan, Says Knicks CEO "Is A Consummate New Yorker"
The NBA won't discipline Knicks chairman & CEO James Dolan for his ridiculous email response to a longtime fan, with commissioner Adam Silver claiming the Cablevision magnate "is a consummate New Yorker" who "got an unkind email, and responded with an unkind email."...
