Officials Missed A Huge Blow To Sam Bradford's Head On Game-Deciding Play
The Minnesota Vikings held Dak Prescott to his fewest yards passing in an NFL game and staged a late comeback against the Dallas Cowboys tonight, but they came up short on a late two-point conversion and lost, 17-15. After hitting Jerick McKinnon for a touchdown pass, Sam Bradford airmailed his two-...

MLB Will No Longer Allow The Oakland A's To Pretend To Be A Small-Market Team
If you’re fed up with hearing about the Oakland Athletics’ half-assed quest to find a new stadium, MLB and the MLBPA want you to know they’re right there with you. A stipulation in the new collective bargaining agreement reclassifies the Athletics as a major-market team, which does away with the exc...

ESPN: Richie Incognito Is An Iroquois War God
Richie Incognito, the big Buffalo Bills guard whose name you most likely recognize for its association with him being about as awful as a person can be, is still the same guy he’s always been. He’s the guy who called former teammate Jonathan Martin a “half-nigger piece of shit”; who settled a civil ...

Jeff Fisher Is Ready To Face Patriots Running Backs "Brandon" And "Danny"
Okay, Jeff Fisher has to be messing with everyone. How could a man work in the league for this long if he were actually this dumb and uninformed? NFL coaches are stupid in many ways, but they’re at least obsessive about their jobs. Today, the Rams head coach appeared to be using years-old intel to p...

Kind And Gentle Aussie Goalkeeper Rescues Seagull That Took A Ball To The Face
Born to a sun-scorched land whose cruelly blistering climes have weeded out all but the most terrifying and murderous critters (and, somehow, koalas), it makes sense that Australians would be better equipped than most to interact with the rare friendly creature that crosses their paths with respect,...

NFL Suspends Bills' Seantrel Henderson, Who Has Used Weed To Treat Crohn's Disease, 10 Games
The NFL has suspended Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson 10 games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Henderson, who found out that he had Crohn’s disease in the middle of last season and has played in one preseason game and one regular-season game since, was also susp...

Colorado Player Arrested For Drug Possession After Allegedly Being Knocked Out By Teammate

Eric Dickerson To Resume Attending Rams Games Next Season
Jeff Fisher—coach of the 4-7 Rams, losers of six of seven and owners of the least productive offense in football—is currently embroiled in a feud with Eric Dickerson, who starred for the Rams the last time they were (good) in Los Angeles. The beef stems from Fisher reportedly banning Dickerson from ...

What If Jeff Fisher Is Just An Expert Troll?
The thought of Jeff Fisher evokes the phrase “experienced mediocrity.” He shuffles along with the Rams, underachieving here and there, while carrying a lengthy, but not necessarily good, résumé as a shield to protect his job. Based on what Fisher did Sunday, though, I’m starting to wonder whether he...

"He Was Giving Me The Business"
Veteran referee Ron Cherry was unable to whistle USC’s Michael Hutchings for “giving him the business,” because the blow knocked Cherry completely out. He managed to leave the field under his own control, though we can’t imagine he’ll make it back....

Whoever Hacked Marcell Dareus Did A Good Job
Early this morning, the above post appeared on the Instagram feed of Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus. Next to a perhaps unflattering photo of himself, Dareus appears to torch the NFL, the Bills, Rex Ryan, the team’s owner, its fans, and its fans’ kids before quitting altogether so he can smoke...

Judge Will Decide Who Won High School Football Game After Officiating Blunder [Update]
Plainfield North won the Illinois Class 7A state semifinal game last weekend by scoring a do-or-die two-point conversion in overtime to stun Fenwick High. Plainfield surrendered a touchdown on Fenwick’s opening drive, but they pushed down on the throttle and were rewarded for their bravery with a tr...

The Texans Are Steamed Over Some Questionable Officiating
The Texans’ 27-20 loss to the Raiders might have looked very different had a call or two gone Houston’s way, and a visibly pissed Bill O’Brien had to hold his tongue after the game to avoid getting fined....

Susan Collins Is Still An Asshole
In the wake of a divisive presidential election, America is seeking unifying political figures. It is an important time to reaffirm the fact that moderate Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins is, indeed, an asshole....

Jeff Fisher Pleased With Jared Goff's Ability To Perform Basic Functions
No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff finally made his first start at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams yesterday, and he looked a lot like the player we saw in the preseason, which is to say he was kind of butt....
