The Bearcats came, uh, “roaring” back with a staggering 34(!) second-half points, while ...

Mikaela Shiffrin Has Never Been Better, And Neither Has Anyone Else
Writing about Mikaela Shiffrin’s success would be getting boring—if her narrative arc weren’t continually getting more dramatic. Back at the Sochi Olympics, the story was how the then-18-year-old kept her nerve after flubbing a turn and won slalom gold. Later that year, it was how she’d mastered sla...
Sean Payton On Spectacular Self-Own: "It Was Good Playoff Fun"<em></em>
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton seems to have a knack for getting cocky at precisely the wrong moments. In December, he threw the “Choke!” sign at Falcons running back Devonta Freeman while Atlanta in the middle of a scoring drive. It comes as no surprise, then, that Payton really played t...
Rodney Mullen And Daewon Song Made A Video That Changed Skateboarding Forever
The opening title credits for “Rodney Mullen Vs. Daewon Song” fly onto the screen like text in a remedial PowerPoint presentation. The picture is grainy, as almost all VHS tapes were, and cuts bounce into each other instead of sliding with contemporary digital smoothness. The black background and wh...
The Jaguars Talked Just Ungodly Amounts Of Shit
The Jaguars have spent all season being doubted and picked against, both by opponents and by just about every neutral observer who has paid attention to the franchise over the last 18 years or so. And no one appeared quite so confident that these were the “same old Jags” as the Pittsburgh Steelers, ...
Jaguars Junction: Week Eleventy

Maybe this is stupid, but my first thought after the Jaguars beat the Steelers to advance to the AFC Championship game was, “I can’t wait to see what Jalen Ramsey has to say about this.”...
Watch Vikings Fans Lose Their Minds Over Stefon Diggs's Touchdown
The thing to notice for in fan reaction videos to the final miraculous play of Sunday’s Vikings win is the sound—sort of a double-surge of joy, first when Stefon Diggs goes up to get the pass, and second when he turns around and everyone realizes there’s no one between him and the end zone....
The Steelers Surrendered The One Weapon They Needed Most
It’s always nice when a shocking playoff loss comes with a handful of moments that can be picked out as the definitive causes of the collapse. Following their 45-42 loss to the Jaguars, the Steelers are left with these: two failed fourth-down conversions, a botched onside kick, and Mike Tomlin’s poo...
Oh No, Marcus Williams
Twelve or so hours later and I still don’t know what happened. I don’t know what Marcus Williams was thinking when he went low, and also a little sideways, and ended up missing Stefon Diggs altogether and instead taking out his own teammate, allowing Diggs to float unthreatened down the field for on...
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT REALLY HAPPENED<em></em>
I scared the shit out of my kids. They had already been subjected to three hours of me clapping and yelling and screaming at the TV, bearing witness to an utterly deranged side of their father that they almost certainly would have preferred to never learn about. I sat. I stood. I paced. No position ...
Vikings Miraculously Don't Blow It, Thanks To Incredible Last-Second Touchdown<em></em>
The Vikings held a 17-0 lead over the Saints at halftime today. And then they blew it. Drew Brees came alive and kicked into gear, and a back-and-forth second half approached a close with New Orleans kicking a 43-yard field goal to go up, 24-23, with 29 seconds to play. ...
Goddamn, The Jacksonville Jaguars Are Going To The AFC Championship
Thanks to a 45-42 victory over the Steelers today, the Jaguars will face the Patriots in the AFC Championship next week.

Atlanta Falcons Somehow Lose To Nick Foles<em></em>
In the month since losing starting quarterback and MVP candidate Carson Wentz, the Philadelphia Eagles have played a skittish backup at quarterback behind a spotty offensive line, at the exact time that their highly ranked defense began collapsing.
