Jeff Brohm's High School Receives Bomb Threat Over His Decision To Reject Louisville And Stay At Purdue [Update]

Jeff Brohm grew up in Louisville, played four years of football at Louisville in the early 1990s, and returned there after the end of his professional playing career to spend six seasons as an assistant coach under Bobby Petrino and Steve Kragthorpe.

The Sabres Are The Hottest And Most Stressful Team In The NHL<em></em>

The Buffalo Sabres—yeah, the Sabres, worst team in the league last season—just keep on winning, and they did it again Tuesday night. After a scoreless opening half hour, the Sabres got out to a 2-0 lead against the Sharks at home with a couple of slick scores. But in the final 10 minutes of the thir...

SB Nation Boss Announces New, Innovative Way To Not Pay People [Update]

In a recent memo, SB Nation’s “team brands director” John Ness—who has ostensibly spent the past year fixing SB Nation’s outdated and exploitative team site model, but is in reality just one more bullshitter Vox Media’s upper management has put between themselves and an increasingly angry army of bl...

The Jaguars Are So Bad They've Made Jalen Ramsey Boring

Bills-Jaguars was the Trash Bowl, and not just because both teams are trash. This one had been circled on the calendars ever since Jags corner Jalen Ramsey called Josh Allen “trash” in a magazine interview, and then went deep on exactly why the Bills’ rookie QB was, allegedly, trash....

Bad Touchdown Call Ignites Brawl Between Jaguars And Bills That Spilled Into Locker Room Tunnel

When a team has nothing to play for at this point in the NFL season, it’s surely difficult to find an outlet to direct one’s emotions toward during games. While some players might choose to channel that energy into late-season stat-padding, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills decided to engag...

Spectacular Touchdown Grab Rescued From Nonexistence By NFL's Updated Catch Rule

An extremely cool touchdown catch survived the crucible of rulebook scrutinization and was hauled back from the brink of nonexistence in this afternoon’s surprising Browns beatdown of the Bengals. Baker Mayfield, who is torching the Bengals defense, lobbed a fade to Nick Chubb, operating against sin...

Kevin Faulk Trades Punches With A&M Goober In On-Field Scrape Following Aggies Overtime Win

Former NFL scatback and current LSU director of player development Kevin Faulk traded punches on the field with a celebrating Texas A&M supporter following the Aggies’ ridiculous seven-overtime victory Saturday night....

Ohio State Returns Momentum To Michigan With Muffed Fair Catch Attempt

For a majority of the first half, Ohio State has turned Michigan’s top-ranked defense into mincemeat. Dwayne Haskins has thrown for three touchdowns and hasn’t been under any serious pressure all game. So when Michigan scored its first touchdown of the day to cut Ohio State’s lead down to eight with...

Somebody Get Matthew Stafford Some Damn Weapons!

Unless you’re a Bears fan, Thursday’s 23-16 Lions loss against Chicago was a boring, depressing way to start Thanksgiving. Both teams’ offenses came out with extremely conservative, mostly ineffective game plans, and while that could be excused with Chicago QB Chase Daniel making the emergency start...

Patrice Evra Does Sex Stuff To A Raw Turkey

Some people really love Thanksgiving. But no one loves it quite like French soccer player Patrice Evra. Which is good, because if everyone loved it like him people would get really sick!...

Was That The Future Of Football?

“I might need a couple beverages to relax tonight,” Sean McVay said after the Rams’ 54-51 win over the Chiefs in one of the most satisfying and exhilarating football games ever played. Maybe a cigarette? MNF viewers are walking around this morning like we got laid last night, and you know what? I’m ...

Well That Was Exhilarating As Shit

The Rams and the Chiefs played the highest-scoring contest in the history of Monday Night Football tonight, a 54–51 barnburner in which every play seemed to go for 18 yards, and every third play seemed to produce a touchdown. It was maybe the most exciting football game I’ve ever watched. Did you mi...

Lawsuit Accuses Bad Football Dad Of Dressing Like Referee At Son's Playoff Game And Bragging Online About Influencing The Outcome

We’ve got controversy in the Illinois High School Association Class 7A football playoffs, folks. Two controversies, in fact. One is a fairly mundane case of disorganization in high school football. The other involves costuming and bad parenting and a lawsuit, and a father boasting on social media ab...

The 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot is out, and Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, Todd Helton, and Andy Pettitte are new on the ballot. Also, it’s Edgar Martinez’s last year of eligibility. [BBWAA] ...

James Worthy Played Bass And The Minutemen's Mike Watt Has The Story To Prove It<em></em>

“Have you always been a basketball fan?” This is me, asking Mike Watt, one of my heroes, a pretty basic question. It is, if we’re being honest, a feeble softball, lobbed with all the force of an Andy Borowitz gag. This happened around noon, an hour earlier than we were supposed to begin our two-man ...

Julio Jones Jacks Up Dallas' Jeff Heath To Prevent Interception

Julio Jones isn’t just an all-pro receiver who’s currently leading the league in receiving yards, he’s also a bonafide hard-hitter on the football field. Late in the first half, Matt Ryan took a shot down field for his star receiver to grab, but he overthrew the pass. Had Julio Jones’s safety instin...

<i>Mike & Mike</i>, Now Mike And Mike, Reunite As Mikes To Celebrate <i>Mike & Mike </i>

It looks like time (and awards) heals all Mike wounds, because Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg appeared pleased to be in each other’s company last night as they were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, less than two years after they reportedly could barely even make eye contact with each other of th...

The Ravens Might Actually Have To Start Robert Griffin III On Sunday

Hidden behind the cloud of an injured starting quarterback was a brief glimmer of hope for the Ravens on Wednesday. With Joe Flacco missing practice because of an injured hip, rookie Lamar Jackson became the likeliest candidate to take the helm of Baltimore’s offense on Sunday against the Bengals. J...

Goddamnit, Cy Young Voter Who Snubbed Jacob deGrom Is A W-L Guy

I didn’t know a lot about San Diego Union-Tribune writer John Maffei (but not, weirdly, baseball writer) before today. I know everything about now, even from very limited data....

Huffy, Dopey Cy Young Voter Hangs Up On Incredibly Chill Old Radio Host<em></em>

I learned something really interesting today, which is that Steve Somers is still alive. You people out there probably know New York’s flagship sports talk radio station WFAN mainly because of comic book hater and sugar-free mafia cosplayer Mike Francesa. Ah, but when I was growing up, there was an ...
